Synopsis
Remy and Emile, the two rats from 'Ratatouille' have produced an educational video on why rats are not actually as bad as humans may think. Tracing the cultural significance of the rat throughout history and looking back at their involvement in the plague or science experiments in increasingly humorous ways, the two rodents make a case for the re-evaluation of the rat population. Funny, smart and with some gorgeous 2D animation, this Pixar short examines the rat from both a biological and historical perspective.
