Ratatouille

Easter egg: On standard widescreen DVD, on the main menu. When the rats are scurrying from right to left, a rat will appear next to a pan on the far left. When that happens, you will be able to move to that pan and click on the link that is there (if the rat is not there, you will not be able to go there). There is a short "commercial" for rat poison.

There are two short pieces (alternate titles for the movie and how to pronounce Ratatouille).

Continuity mistake: When Remy and Emile are cooking the mushroom on the roof, notice that the mushroom is skewered on the antenna. When Remy and Emile are hit by lightning and sent careening off the roof, the mushroom is instantly on a stick in Remy's hand, instead of the antenna. It could've been sent flying by the lightning bolt, but even if it was, there was no stick in the previous shot for it to have ended up on. (00:07:50)

Trivia: When Skinner stops chasing Remy, a mime artist is visible in the background. This man is none other than Bomb Voyage, a character from The Incredibles, Pixar's previous production. (01:17:30)

Question: When Remy is stuck in a cage, chef Gusteau tells Remy he never did. Remy never did what?

Answer: Remy tells the imaginary Gusteau that he's given up, and Gusteau replies that Remy is only as free as he imagines himself to be. Remy counters that he's "sick of pretending" to be a rat for his father and to be a human through Linguini. He then adds that he even pretends Gusteau actually exists, just so he can have somebody to talk to, and that all of Gusteau's responses are what he himself already knows to be true. So when Remy asks, "Why do I need to pretend?" that's when Gusteau tells him, "But you don't Remy. You never did." Which basically means Remy is both a rat, and an extraordinary cook.
