Ratatouille Movie Characters:
Other Minor Characters

The Ratatouille movie characters who play minor roles are an interesting bunch. Both rats and people, these characters fill out the movie by adding a dash of this and a pinch of that, making a most delicious dish!

Django

Django is Remy and Emile's father in Ratatouille. He strongly believes in rats sticking together, making their nests bigger, not going out into the world. Django has a strong bias against humans and is frustrated when Remy seems so fond of them. He doesn't understand Remy's fascination with good food, but appreciates his son's keen sense of smell. Django puts Remy to work sniffing out poison in the rats' food.

Emile

Remy's older brother Emile is a fat brown rat who will put just about anything into his mouth. He horks down all sorts of garbage and nasty food and doesn't give much thought to what he eats.

Emile is good natured and loyal toward Remy, and is open to trying out the fruit and cheese Remy offers him to savor. He just doesn't have it in him to be the connoisseur that Remy is, and he's alright with that. Emile is a likable and easy going guy.

Git

Git is easily the largest rat in the colony. He is much taller than the other rats and strong, too; he's seen flexing his muscles at the end of Ratatouille. Git doesn't say much of anything in the movie, and he seems to be close friends with Emile.

Mustafa

Mustafa is Gusteau's head waiter in the Ratatouille movie. He's a portly man who has some trouble with demanding customers as he tries to keep them happy. This character is voiced by Pixar's lucky charm, John Ratzenberger.

Horst and Lilo

Gusteau's Resaturant has some talented cooks in the Ratatouille movie.

Horst is the sous chef - the second-in-command behind Skinner at Gusteau's. He's got a stern loook, a large forehead and a blonde buzz cut. Colette tells Alfredo that Horst has a mysterious criminal past, but Horst may have just made it up, too.

Lalo makes all the delicious sauces at Gusteaus. He's got almond-shaped eyes and is tall and lean. Lalo had been an acrobat in a circus before joining Gusteau's, but got caught with the ringmaster's daughter and was fired. He's a superstitious cook, concerned about bad ju-ju in the kitchen.

Pompidou and Larousse

In the Ratatouille movie Pompidou is the patissier, the cook who creates delectable desserts. He must like to sample his pastries because he's plump all around. Colette tells Alfredo about Pompidou, saying he was a compulsive gambler and was banned from Las Vegas and Monte Carlo casinos.

Larousse is Gusteau's garde manger which means he prepares dishes such as salads, hors d'œuvres and other starters. Larousse says that he was part of a government resistance movement before coming to work as a cook. He doesn't say which resistance because apparently it was on the losing side!

Talon Labarthe

Chef Skinner has a sophisticated, slick attorney named Talon Labarthe in the Ratatouille movie. Skinner calls on M. Labarthe when he gets the letter from Linguine's mother, saying Linguine is Gusteau's son and rightful heir to the restaurant.

M. Labarthe takes it all in stride, remaining cool and confident as Skinner freaks out at this news. Labarthe takes a hair out of Gusteau's old chef's hat to run a DNA test and tells Skinner not to worry. He advises Skinner to wait out the will's two year deadline and he can fire Linguine and nobody shall ever know about it. What a sly fox!

François Dupuis

This guy's got no taste, even if he IS French. He's François Dupuis, the advertising executive who Chef Skinner has hired to develop the line of Gusteau's Frozen Food. Dupuis sinks to new lows of tackiness, selling Gusteau's Bubba Shrimp, Mexican Food, Chinese Food made Chine-easy, even Gusteau's frozen corn puppies. Dupuis is the definition of sleazy in the Ratatouille movie.

Mabel

At the beginning of the Ratatouille movie, the setting is in the French countryside at a quaint cottage. This is where Remy and the rest of the rats live, as well as a little old lady named Mabel. She's got glasses so thick her eyes are magnified twice their size, but she can fire a rifle like nobody's business.

Mabel loves to cook and it was her cookbook, Gusteau's "Anyone Can Cook" left in the kitchen that introduces Remy to the famous chef. Mabel also watches Gusteau's television shows, before his untimely death, and Remy would secretly watch from the shadows as Mabel dozes off.

When Mabel becomes aware of the rats in her home, though, she shoots that rifle everywhere in her ceiling, bringing down her chandelier and hundreds of the rats. She's horrified, of course, and drives out Remy and the rest of the colony out of her home and down the stream, where they all end up in Paris.
