Remy is a young rat in the French countryside who arrives in Paris, only to find out that his cooking idol is dead. When he makes an unusual alliance with a restaurant s new garbage boy, the culinary and personal adventures begin despite Remy s family s skepticism and the rat-hating world of humans.

A rat named Remy dreams of becoming a great French chef despite his family s wishes and the obvious problem of being a rat in a decidedly rodent-phobic profession. When fate places Remy in the sewers of Paris, he finds himself ideally situated beneath a restaurant made famous by his culinary hero, Auguste Gusteau. Despite the apparent dangers of being an unlikely - and certainly unwanted - visitor in the kitchen of a fine French restaurant, Remy s passion for cooking soon sets into motion a hilarious and exciting rat race that turns the culinary world of Paris upside down.
