Near the beginning of Ratatouille, when Remy is in the sewers and begins to make his way up to the skyline of Paris, he is startled by a barking dog in one of the apartments. If you pause and look at the silhouette of the dog, it greatly resembles Doug the dog, from the 2009 Disney/Pixar release Up. Obviously another precursory nod to an upcoming movie by the geniuses at Pixar.

The wine that Anton Ego requests at dinner is Cheval Blanc, one of the best wines in the world. It is one of only two to receive the highest rank of Premier Grand Cru Classé (A) status in the Classification of Saint-Émilion wine of 1955, along with Château Ausone.
In 2007, Rottentomatoes.com stated that Ratatouille was the highest reviewed film of the year, with 97% of reviews "Fresh."
The number A113 has appeared in every Pixar film. In this one, it appears on the big buff rat who appears when Emile comes with more rats for the food. He is the one who asks "Is there a problem?" The number can be seen on the gold tag on his ear.
When Skinner is driving his car and sees Remmy skittering towards Linguini, but he says it was just his keys, listen to the music playing on the radio. That is the same song that is playing later in the movie, after Skinner is fired.
