    1. > “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.

      > “There was never gonna be an ‘Incredibles’ sequel until he thought, ‘Wait a minute. There is a story to tell,’“ Oswalt said of the filmmaker. “So if he gets an idea, that’s the one I wanna do. I don’t wanna be the guy going, ‘Hey, what if Remy did this?’ I want it to be one of those ideas that happens that you cannot get away from. I don’t want it to come from us going, ‘All right, let’s get out the legal pads and let’s break down a sequel.’ There are a lot of movies where that’s how they’re done, and it always feels inorganic.”

      No. We don’t need it, I don’t want it. It’s a perfect movie with an excellent narrative. Let it stand on its own and make something else that is compelling and interesting.

    3. Patton Oswalt is going to turn down Ratatouille 2 if he’a not feeling the script??

      The guys seems to say yes to every single role.

    4. If the upcoming cat movie, Gatto, does well, I think it is high time we seriously consider the first Pixar Cinematic Universe Experience.

      We bring back the gang from Hoppers, the crew from Finding Nemo/Dory, Dug and Kevin from Up, and Dante from Coco, along with those A Bug’s Life rapscallions.

      What is the plot? No clue. Why are they together? Idk. Someone/something that shouldn’t have feelings gets feelings. What brings them together? The Walle E Protocol? Are they trying to build a road over a habitat in Cars 37? Is there a Bad Dinosaur? They can work it out in Burbank.

      It’s my favorite non Toy Story pixar film of all time… But there’s no need for a Ratatoullie sequel the way the Incredibles always had the opportunity for. Where else could the story go? Maybe some nice 30 minute special like Toy Story gets every once in a while. But not a whole movie. Besides, a few key cast members are gone.

    6. Rats only live a couple of years tops so the sequel would have to be set really soon after the original film.

      Dont do it. Just, leave it the fuck alone! Make another cooking pixar film there are plenty of ideas.
