In the 2007 Disney movie Ratatouille, street rat Remy dreams of becoming a master chef. While his fellow rodent friends feed on garbage, our hero has a more elevated taste. His gastronomic aspirations are of course hopeless, a rat cannot cook and the right place for him is in the street, not among the pans. ‘Shut up and eat your garbage’, Remy’s father says. But then he teams up with the garbage boy Linguini and, in the end, together they take Paris by storm. The film, while featuring the classical underdog revenge plot, highlights how the rat, move from being ‘out-of-place’ in the kitchen. Through hard work and luck, he can become neutralized and ‘in place’ with such human spaces.
