Remy
Meet Remy, the gastronomic star of the Disney-Pixar
release 'Ratatouille'. Undeniably the most famous
of rats, Remy lives a dissatisfied existence as a
poison-sniffer in a French cottage, until a self-inflicted
calamity sees his colony driven out of its home.
Seperated from his family, Remy makes his way to
the Parisian restaurant of his hero, Gusteau, and sets
about manipulating a simple bus-boy named Linguini
into helping him realise his dreams of becoming a chef.
Here at the Vermin Realm we love the
attention to detail paid to our little hero.
His facial expressions are instantly
recognisable and even his unnatural
habit of walking on his two hind paws
is explained away via the reason that
Remy eats with his paws, so certainly
doesn't want to walk on them. We think
he's a top-earred British Blue, but
apparently castrated - is there a rogue
vet scouring the French underworld?
