After the events of the first movie, by law because of rats in the kitchen, Gusteau's restaurant was closed down and top food critic, Anton Ego, lost his job for knowing about the rats and not saying anything. But thankfully, for the other things that he did, Skinner was thrown in jail and was never seen again. Ego may have lost his job, but he's now happier than ever, now that he has a new job and is a regular customer at a bistro called "La Ratatouille." Remy the rat is finally living the life he always dreamt of having, as a gourmet chef. Also, Linguini and Collette are getting married. After his dad died of old age, Remy is now the new leader of the colony, and he has found a love interest. A rat named Gigi with a pink tint on her fur. But Gigi is really uncomfortable with the idea of rats being cooks. Also, a rival of Ego, who was France's second top food critic until Ego got fired, is threatening to close down the bistro. He's one of those respectable figures who kind of gives restaurants a hard time... For FUN! He likes to be unfair. Will La Ratatouille survive? Will Linguini and Collette's wedding not end in disaster? Will Remy and Gigi end up together? If there's one thing everyone should remember, it's something that the late Chef Auguste Gusteau used to say: "Anyone can cook, but only the fearless can be great."
