Ratatouille 2 (2025): Rumors of Remyโs New Culinary Journey? ๐

๐ฝ๏ธ As of July 2025, Pixar and Disney have not officially confirmed the production of Ratatouille 2 (2025), though rumors about a sequel to the 2007 animated classic are circulating widely on social media and news outlets. ๐ฝ๏ธ
๐ Ratatouille (2007), directed by Brad Bird, became an icon with its story of Remy, a rat dreaming of becoming a chef, grossing $623.7 million and winning the Oscar for Best Animated Feature. ๐
๐ Recently, journalist Jeff Sneider on The Hot Mic podcast (June 2025) suggested Pixar might be developing Ratatouille 2 in early stages, but the studio previously denied such claims, leaving fans skeptical about its validity. ๐
Context and Rumors Surrounding Ratatouille 2 ๐ฌ
๐ Rumors of Ratatouille 2 emerged after the massive success of Inside Out 2 ($1.7 billion) and the underperformance of original films like Elio (2025), prompting Pixar to focus on sequels such as Toy Story 5, Incredibles 3, and Coco 2. ๐
๐จ Some unofficial sources, like Disney Fanon Wiki and Trending News Buzz, claim Ratatouille 2 will release on June 20, 2025, or December 12, 2025, with the original cast including Patton Oswalt (Remy) and Lou Romano (Linguini), but these lack evidence and are considered fabricated. ๐จ
๐ฌ A Facebook post from YODA BBY ABY (March 2024) about โRataTWOilleโ with a November 2024 release was debunked by Snopes as satirical, causing confusion among fans. ๐ฌ
Possibilities and Challenges of a Sequel ๐ด
๐ฅ If Ratatouille 2 is produced, it could continue Remy and Linguiniโs story at La Ratatouille bistro, exploring new culinary challenges, such as competing in an international cooking contest or facing rival chefs. ๐ฅ
๐ซ However, director Brad Bird stated in 2018 that he has no interest in a sequel, believing the original story is complete, and prefers original projects, posing a significant challenge if Pixar proceeds without him. ๐ซ
๐ Still, with Pixarโs new strategy of alternating original films and sequels, plus the demand to leverage familiar brands, Ratatouille 2 could be an appealing choice to attract both old and new audiences. ๐
Fan and Industry Reactions ๐ข
๐ Fans on X and Reddit are excited but cautious, with some expressing concerns that a sequel might not capture the originalโs unique spirit, especially without Brad Birdโs direction. ๐
๐ฝ๏ธ According to World of Reel and Daily Mail (June 2025), fans are divided: some eagerly await a new โmagical dishโ from Remy, while others fear a sequel could tarnish the originalโs legacy. ๐ฝ๏ธ
๐ฅ Pixar could utilize advanced animation technology to recreate a vibrant Paris, but the biggest challenge is maintaining the originalโs finesse, emotion, and message about culinary artistry. ๐ฅ
Conclusion and Expectations ๐ง
๐ As of now, Ratatouille 2 (2025) remains a rumor, unconfirmed by Pixar or Disney, with claims about release dates and cast being unreliable. ๐
๐ฒ If realized, a sequel could offer a fresh culinary adventure, but it would require creativity to avoid overshadowing the beloved originalโs legacy. ๐ฒ

Fans must await an official announcement from Pixar, possibly by late 2025, to know if Remy will return to the big screen or if this is merely a โdishโ in the audienceโs imagination. ๐
