[[WMG:Connected with the ''Pixar Theory'', it's likely that the events of ''WesternAnimation/{{Up}}'' is why Remy's Restaurant is possible.]]
Probably when word got out that there are intelligent dogs, people start to wonder how many animals are smart and self-aware. This revelation spread quickly that by the time the restaurant opened, people already accepted that rats are smart and can cook.

A common criticism/joke about the film's ending is that the new restaurant Remy created will quickly get shut down like Gusteau's, due to the fact that a rat is the head chef and his colony lives there (or at least visits frequently). However, that seems unlikely, as the film heavily implies that the people of France don't view rats as unsanitary vermin anymore:
* Remy has tiny scaffolding and a pulley to help him maneuver around the kitchen. Any health inspector would see them and suspect that it's for small animals, and shut the place down. Yet, the restaurant is thriving.
** The presence of a tiny structure in these places to aid his movement suggest there's many all around the kitchen and restaurant. If not a health inspector, then any customer would've definitely noticed.
* Remy puts himself within view of humans twice during the ending. Both times, he makes no effort to escape their line of sight, as if he has no reason to hide anymore.
* By this point, Remy is friends with and understood by a former chef of Gusteau's, a retired but renowned food critic, and Gusteau's actual son. With them on his side, it wouldn't be impossible to convince people that rats are smart enough to be chefs and sanitary enough to use soap.
** Remy's talk with his dad in front of the poison shop suggested this was an eventual goal of his.
* The sign outside of his restaurant shows an actual rat. Again, business is booming despite this.

[[WMG: One of the rat bodies Django showed Remy in the shop window was Remy and Emile's mother]]
Django's mate and Remy and Emile's mother also got friendly with humans, until they turned on her and tried to poison her and her family. Mama Remy protected her family and was killed in the process, leaving Django with two young pups to take care of by himself.

[[WMG: [[WesternAnimation/TheGreatMouseDetective Professor Ratigan]] is an ancestor of Remy's]]
Both are incredibly intelligent and refined rats ([[InsistentTerminology BIG MICE!]]). Somewhere between 1897 and 2007, Ratigan's descendants left London after their patriarch died trying to kill the Mouse Queen and resettled in Paris...and over time, the rodents decided that clothes were uncomfortable, so now they all go naked.

* Alternatively he continued to do business with the rat until he and the rat had a falling out at one point. Unfortunately this would be the very night that Anton Ego would show up and unlike Linguini and Remy, the two did not make up so Ego tasted Gusteau’s terrible cooking and gave a scouring review leading to the death of Gusteau.

** When the old woman awakens and discovers Remy, if you pay attention, it happens right after Anton Ego speaks on the TV. She may watch cooking shows all day for a chance to see her busy son on TV, and woke up at that moment because she heard Ego's voice.

** For a better analogy, perhaps La Ratatouille, after re-acquiring the Gusteau’s name, has begun opening fast food joints, which would be a better comparison to how the remakes are released in theaters?

[[WMG: Furthermore, a follow-up series/sequel will have a HappyEndingOverride based on modern criticism of the Disney company]]
Which is to say that La Ratatouille has been buying out other restaurants to expand its menu and chain, and the inferior prepackaged items are back, this time resembling altered “deluxe” versions of classic menu items. [[note]] Disney has begun buying out large chunks of the film industry, and making inferior live-action remakes in lieu of the direct to video sequels[[/note]]

[[WMG: The movie takes place in the same universe as Film/TopSecret]]
Colette tells Linguini that Larrouse would have provided weapons for a resistance movement whose identity no one knows, so she assumes that they would have been defeated. In fact, Larousse provided weapons for the French East German resistance. That is why many of the members of this movement had nicknames associated with the culinary world (Croissant, Soufflé, Escargot, Chocolate Mousse). Larousse is so reticent about his activities because he suspects that the restaurant's sous-chef, Horst, is an East German spy sent by General Streck to eliminate him.
