Debunking the Rumors

Is Ratatouille 2 coming out in 2024? No, Ratatouille 2 isn\u2019t coming out this year, nor is any sequel in development at Pixar.

We\u2019re sorry to deliver the bad news, but you\u2019ve likely been duped by a fake poster from YODA BBY ABY, a Facebook page that posts made-up movies every day. This includes Three Granddads and a Baby, Police Academy: The New Class, and a new sequel to The NeverEnding Story.

YODA BBY ABY: Facebook Alongside the poster for 'RATA-TWO-ILLE', the caption reads: 'Get ready for a delectable adventure in \u2018Ratatwoille,\u2019 the enchanting Disney-Pixar sequel to Ratatouille! Join Remy and Linguini as they navigate the culinary world, running a top-tier restaurant. 'In theaters this November, witness their comedic journey through a cooking competition, where they\u2019ll stir up laughter, challenges, and the pursuit of being the best in this delightful family film!'

Brad Bird's Stance on a Sequel

Bird ruled out a Ratatouille sequel in 2018, telling io9: 'You know, I feel like that story is told. I\u2019m told I need to do an\u00a0Iron Giant 2\u00a0and I\u2019m told I need to remake everything that I\u2019ve made and no one apparently wants anything new anymore. I\u2019m a little at odds with society on that. I would like to do some new things.'

The filmmaker isn\u2019t totally averse to sequels, given he returned for The Incredibles 2. 'This did [turn out well]. But you\u2019re welcome to take a crack at a\u00a0Ratatouille\u00a0sequel. I feel like I\u2019ve done my\u00a0Ratatouille. I\u2019ve done my\u00a0Mission: Impossible\u00a0and I\u2019ve done my\u00a0Iron Giant. And that\u2019s that. I\u2019m not mad about it but it seems like it\u2019s the only thing that people want now is for you to repeat what you just did,' he added.
