I’m 100% sure he made it for tax write off and further insurance fraud once the rat is dead.
Can’t believe this movie came out over 9 Remys ago.
Restaurants are almost always shit investments anyway, and 1.8 years is longer than most of them last.
It’s already on this sub.

Rats live up to 4-5 years in captivity if they’re well cared for. So not *as* bad.
Unironically I want a sequel where Remy starts no longer being able to do such a job, then as Linguine enters the kitchen he realizes that the ingredients speak to him almost as if Remy was still there, pointing out what to add next, and he makes a delicious meal without assistance.
If you watched the movie, you’d know Remy was teaching the other rats to cook, who will almost certainly be skilled enough to take over the business when he dies.
This isn’t me noticing a background detail, or creating a fan theory. This is the emotional climax of the movie. He’s teaching the other rats how to cook.
Also, Remy would be classified as a domesticated rat by the end, even if he did spend his early life in the wild. This would likely mean he would survive up to five years, and die from old age. Rather than avoidable sickness, predators, or misadventure.
No, they don’t. They are going to a happy farm at the end of the rainbow bridge and you can’t convince me otherwise
Did you see the aura of the place tho? Cash was flowing for sure
Except when you are charging 20k a plate because a literal rat is cooking you a meal
Yeah but the food is good. It’s 100% the kind of thing the French would spend money on
Average doesn’t mean that’s when he’ll die. Out of the billions of rats out there, there have to be some that we’re at least 5 years
I mean is it he still has a talent chief that could easily learn the dishes
Ego really said, ‘I’ll put my money in this rat’s restaurant, but I’m not sticking around to see the reviews.
Remy is the grandson of the mouse from the Green Mile so will live like 40 years
The sequel is about Linguini keeping Remy’s corpse under his hat and trying to convince people he’s still alive.
You get full credit for his recipes after he dies
Linguini and Remy tie up and kidnap the health inspector who promptly closes the restaurant due to the rat infestation when they let him go. How were they able to get the new restaurant approved?
I said it last time I saw this, and I’ll say it again
“Ego was such an idiot for investing money on a short lived rat! He should’ve instead invested in a long lasting human, like Gust…oh, yeah.”
The rat had already lived several years in that old lady’s house at this point. Its safe to assume that he has a human lifespan. He even speaks english.
A captive rat lives around 3-5 years when taken care of. We know Remy is a juvenile rat (smaller than father and other adult rats), so he might have a good 3-4 years left. Most restaurants last 3 years. Ego wants to get his money and get out
Collete can cook! She will finally get out of the shadow of Gustav and the rat!
By the time Remy dies, linguini would have learned how to cook all his stuff I think, it’d be hard not to when you’re being puppeteered the whole time. So linguini will just take over and all will be well
I wish rats lived longer. I miss my rats
“Everyone Can Cook” is a theme. There are more rats. Two and two together
Yes, but Remy is a cartoon rat, *rattus comicus*. He is basically immortal.
Remy teaches his children to cook and they take over 👍
Anton ego ain’t that young himself. Tbh. Probably died of depression when remi died. Not a bad investment if he was living his best life before than.
Let’s suppose that a mouse in captivity lives 3 years.
Let’s further suppose remy is 1 year old. He seems young among his peers. Perhaps his magic nose starts to weaken when he turns 2.
If Remy comes up with 1 new recipe each week for 1 year, that’s 52 new recipes.
That’s a core menu of 20 items.
Rotating seasonal specials of 10 items.
And 22 menu items to substitute when people get tired of the old items.
After 5 years, you can bring back old menu items to a new audience and/or to evoke nostalgia from loyal customers.
This will give you the savings you need to invest in more chefs long term, who can come up with newer recipes. Perhaps they won’t be as good as Remy’s, but at that point the restaurant can coast on the legacy for a long time.
It’s a fine investment. Ego doesn’t need Remy in the kitchen 10 years from now. He needs to write down what Remy does and milk it for decades.
since this is a nitpicky point, I’m gonna nitpick right back.
that’s the avg lifespan for a real life rat in the real world. you know what real life rats in the real world don’t do? TALK.
so why are we applying real-world logic to a fictional rodent? who’s to say the avg lifespan of a rat in this world isn’t 400 billion years? pointless.
What restaurant is not a shit investment to be brutally honest?
I love this repost of an old repost, reposted onto a new site and then a post of that post is posted here. Ah, the circle of life.
Well the rat can also understand human language and cook, so it might be that this movie isn‘t 100% realistic?
Bad investment or chump change to keep that nostalgia kitchen going?! Man needed his fix, eyes don’t dilate like that less it’s from those sweet childhood soupories.
