Since @Disney released #Ratatouille, Francophiles have enjoyed seeing their beloved #France on the big screen. In a pandemic, Ratatouille 🐀 has made a comeback-broadway style🤩! Tiktok fans & theater professionals created #RatatouilleMusical.
Gone viral, @ratatousical is born!

"The rat of all my dreams" 😴 🐀
"Confetti everywhere" ✨
"Remy flying on a lift over the audience" 🪂
These are a few lyrics from @ratatousical which will stream tonight w/ @tiktok_us to benefit @TheActorsFund. In honor of Remy's big day, we are sharing Ratatouille fun facts⤵️

Starting off easy:
#DYK that Ratatouille, the 🇫🇷 meal, not the movie ;) originates from the south of France with its abundance of Provençal vegetables.
A simple & tasty recipe, it should be easier to make than Linguini's soup–no tiny 🐀 👨‍🍳required.

Speaking of a tiny 🐀 chef, Remy's hiding place is another 🇫🇷 connection.
Linguini wears a toque blanche, or white chef's hat 👨‍🍳. The term has Arabic origins and was popularized by the French in the 1800's in describing a crisp, clean uniform.

Anton Ego 🕵️‍♂️ is extreme, but 🇫🇷 is known for its fine dining.
The Michelin⭐️ranking began as a guide for hungry drivers. Now, it's a coveted award.

This likely contributes to the stereotype of aloof 🇫🇷 👨‍🍳. Ratatouille's Chef Gusteau declares in the film that "Anyone Can Cook." His declaration rings like Le Cordon Bleu's Julia Child who believed the average 🇺🇸 could cook like a 🇫🇷 chef.
