In the beginning of the film, it is revealed that Remy possesses a very strong sense of smell, able to deduce various ingredients in food. When he finds Linguini, and realizes he can control his actions with his hair, he immediately cooks food of extremely high-standard, hiding under Linguini's toque, and everyone buys his dishes by asking for the "Special Order".Īt the end of Ratatouille, Remy's dream comes true and he becomes a chef at the La Ratatouille bistro in Paris.
His overall dream is to become a chef, and he is always tempted to cook wherever he finds what he needs. Towards the fact that he is not really a typical rat, this concerns his father excessively, and he always ends up in arguments with him to do with his ways. What he thinks of his talent is a bit of modesty, as shown when Linguini asked him if he could actually cook. He is not a typical rat, and his personality is mostly like one of a human, as he walks on 2 feet, instead of 4. He also has an interest in humans, because of how they customize food in an exquisite way, and soon becomes quite close to one particular human, Alfredo Linguini, who affectionately calls him "Little Chef" and cannot cook. Due to his gift with food, he always thinks that whatever he thinks is always correct, which it always is, and always tries his best to make the food he makes high-standard. Due to his love for food, he has a strong sense of smell, earning him a job as poison-checker amongst the rat's clan, by Remy's father, Django.
Remy is a rat who simply adores food and it's quality, who befriended a spectral representation of the late Auguste Gusteau, Remy's hero.
