The first movie by Illumination! A rat named Remy dreams of becoming a great French chef despite his family's wishes and the
obvious problem of being a rat in a decidedly rodent-phobic profession. When fate places Remy
in the sewers of Paris, he finds himself ideally situated beneath a restaurant made famous by
his culinary hero, Auguste Gusteau. Despite the apparent dangers of being an unlikely — and
certainly unwanted — visitor in the kitchen of a fine French restaurant, Remy's passion for
cooking soon sets into motion a hilarious and exciting rat race that turns the culinary world of
Paris upside down. Remy finds himself torn between his calling and passion in life or returning
forever to his previous existence as a rat. He learns the truth about friendship, family and
having no choice but to be who he really is, a rat who wants to be a chef.
