00:30...the fish-out-of-water story that's ever been created.

00:33There are possibilities unexplored here. We gotta cook this!

00:36Remy has this urge to create, which does not fit in the rat world that he's been born into.

00:43Look, if we're going to be thieves, why not steal the good stuff in the kitchen?

00:49Mmm. That's good.

00:53We like to start from a strong foundation of authenticity.

00:55So we did a lot of cooking research.

00:57We had heard that Thomas Keller at French Laundry had a fairly authentic French kitchen.

01:04He's one of the best chefs in America.

01:06So we went to Thomas Keller and said, how would you make Remy into a French chef?

01:11Remy really had a strong desire to be a cook.

01:14And that desire really propelled him to have the courage to move into an area where he wasn't really familiar,

01:21where it wasn't really natural for him to be in that kitchen.

01:24What do I always say? Anyone can cook.

01:28Well, yeah, anyone can. That doesn't mean that anyone should.

01:33Brad Lewis interned over at the French Laundry, so he got the real deal.

01:39How can you not know your own recipe?

01:42I didn't write it down.

01:43Cooking, there were secrets passed down for a hundred years.

01:48And it felt like, just even in two days, that I was being given secrets of generations.

01:54If you sort of let yourself steep in their knowledge and their experience,

01:58it will find its way into this world.

02:01And we're having to create this three-star restaurant from scratch.

02:04So, through observation and just perception and watching them work,

02:08and what they've done will sort of pervade the film.

02:12I will have whatever he is having.

02:18Let us toast your non-idiocy.

02:21Brad was invaluable in giving, I think, an authenticity to our very fable-like film.

02:27As it turns out, rats can cook.

02:30Have you ever had a pet rat?

02:32No.

02:32Did you work in a lab with rats?

02:34No, perhaps you lived in squalor at some point.

02:36Nobody, nobody knew.

02:38We have Mickey Mouse as a national icon,

02:40so having a rat in a kitchen, it's not so far-fetched.

02:43This can't just happen!
