One of Disney's most-beloved movies does not feature a princess, but rather a rat who only wants one thing: to cook. I'm talking, of course, about Ratatouille. Despite still being beloved, Ratatouille hasn't gotten the respect it truly deserves until now when Disney announced that its finally opening a Ratatouille-themed ride.
Before you @ me, you should know there HAS been a Ratatouille ride in Disneyland Paris for some time now, but this announcement marks the first time Chef Remy the rat will get his own ride in the ole U.S. of A.
Disney announced this week that the ride will open in Epcot during the summer of 2020. We don't know too much about it, other than the fact that you'll be riding around Gusteau’s kitchen floor aboard special trackless ride vehicles that are shaped like rats! Cute!!!
It's unclear if the ride will vary from Disneyland Paris's, but I'm sure we'll know more about it as the opening date comes closer. I can only hope we're rewarded with tiny pieces of cheese upon exiting the ride—a girl can dream.
No one is more excited about this news than actor Billy Eichner, who ranted ALLLLL the way back in 2014 about there not being a Ratatouille ride during a Billy on the Street segment. He was not above asking for his due on Twitter once he heard the news.
OK, so Billy and Patton Oswalt can go first, obviously (he was the voice of Remy after all), but uh....me next? Can we all go together as friends? Call me!!
