What happens in Ratatouille from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 15 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 6-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

Remy, Patton Oswalt, is a young rat with an extraordinary sense of taste and smell who dares to dream bigger than his rodent peers. He idolizes the famed human chef Auguste Gusteau, whose poster and philosophy—“Anyone can cook”—inspire Remy to imagine a future where a rat could work side by side with people in a real kitchen. While the rest of his colony, including his older brother Émile and their father Django, the clan’s stern leader, live just to eat and stay clear of humans, Remy yearns for a life of flavor, invention, and recognition. Their unlikely attic home above a Parisian apartment becomes a perch for his culinary daydreams, even as the outer world remains wary and dangerous.
