From the get-go, 100 Rat Dash is action-packed, increasing the already-palpable tension. At this point in the movie, the entire colony is confronted by poison gas-wielding Granny and must flee the attic they call home. As the colony’s poison checker and a kind of rhythm day in and day out is only further emphasized by the warm brass in the background.ġ00 Rat Dash. A lazy interlude midway through the piece perfectly mirrors Remy’s uneventful lifestyle. Listeners can almost feel the scurrying of little rat feet as the notes change quickly and precisely. This is Me, the third song of the album, is percussion heavy, creating a sneaking sound that perfectly describes Remy the rat’s position in the colony (which consists of over one hundred rats). The gentle guitar, the flowing melody, and the well placed vocal harmonies create more than just a song rather they create a soundscape that introduces the entire film. What better way to introduce a movie about a French rat than with a song in French? This theme has gained popularity on TikTok over the past few months, and there is no doubt to why.

We’ll start with Le Festin, the only lyrical song from the entire album. Sit back, put on some headphones, and let the soundtrack wash over you. Rather than just describe one song, I thought I’d take you through the whole experience.

While the movie’s title comes from a simple vegetable dish, the sound that accompanies it is incredibly complex and nuanced. Perhaps one of the most memorable parts of the Ratatouille experience is the award-winning music, written by Michael Giacchino, the man who brought Jurassic World, The Incredibles, and Up alive through his composition. Bold statement, right? After delving into the world of Remy the rat with a more analytical eye, I may be able to convince you. Ratatouille is one of the greatest animated movies of our generation.
