Originating from the 2007 Disney-Pixar film, Ratatouille memes primarily revolve around two iconic scenes: Remy the rat controlling Linguini by pulling his hair, and the cynical food critic Anton Ego experiencing a powerful childhood flashback. The 'Remy pulling hair' template is often used to represent being manipulated or guided by an external force—like caffeine, anxiety, or a specific song. Conversely, the Anton Ego flashback represents the sudden, overwhelming feeling of nostalgia triggered by a specific experience. Both templates have become staples of internet culture for their high relatability and expressive character animation.
