Remy wants to do ‘Ratatouille 2’ but it can’t be a ‘money grab’

[TaylorSwift 162,160]

“Obviously, I’d love if there was a ‘Ratatouille’ sequel,” Oswalt said on The Daily Beast’s “Obsessed” podcast, although he stressed that a follow-up movie depends entirely on original director Brad Bird returning with a great idea.

Oswalt continued, “I want the sequel to be not the same type of movie, but that same energy that ‘Terminator 2’ or ‘Aliens’ had, which is, there’s an expansion of the story that we that we actually need to tell… This isn’t just a money grab. And yes, by the way, we love the money, and we’re gonna grab it, but we’re gonna get the money by telling an amazing story with whole new dimensions that we didn’t even know beforehand.”

“Ratatouille” was director Bird’s follow-up to “The Incredibles,” with both films winning the Oscar for best animated feature. “Ratatouille” also picked up Oscar nominations for original score, sound editing, sound mixing and original screenplay. The movie’s $623 million gross made it the sixth highest-grossing film of 2007.

"Obviously I want a sequel, but not one of those sequels where (xyz) happens..."

So he wants a sequel but recognizes that there is no conceivable reason for one to happen?

Okay. The end.

 

Ratatouille is one of Pixar's most charming & unique movies

Leave it the hell alone, for christ's sake

edit- sorry @Rat Boy

Ratatouille is pretty much my favorite animated movie of all time, but honestly I wouldn't mind a sequel since Brad Bird is a fantastic director - like yeah Incredibles 2 wasn't as iconic as the original but it still had its moments and overall I am glad it exists

He doesn’t want to do it if it is a money grab? Baby that’s why sequels in GENERAL exist unless it’s an epic that needs cutting up like LOTR.
 

Even Star Wars was written as a one off movie and only continued AFTER it was a success. Hence why the original title for Episode IV was just Star Wars. Lucas didn’t even add episode numbers until AFTER ROTJ. 

Ratatouille was very much a one-off story idek where they could go next.

Ratatouille is a grower and a shower.

 

But... Maybe the sequel idea could be revolving on Remy finding a protege?

Don't you mean Racacoonie? The one where the guy has a racoon under his hat, makes him really good at cooking

A24 should be lucky Pixar didn't sue them for that

Jonathan Wang: "I never even thought about whether or not we would get a call from Disney or if Pixar was going to be mad. We did a tour of the Pixar campus and got to hang out with [animator/director] Domee Shi, and she’s so great. We were like, “Have you guys talked about, uh… us ripping off Ratatouille?” Everyone loves it there, and it seemed like no one was really upset. That was the only thing we thought of: Are we going to get flagged for this? But lawyers cleared it; everyone cleared it."

If we take his word for it I guess they were fine with it   apparently it falls under a legal loophole where it's a parody and therefore not copywrite infringment. It was just a bit of fun
