Fans Question Disney Decision After Ratatouille Quietly Pulled From Park
One Disney park has made a quiet but unexpected change tied to one of Pixar’s most recognizable films.
Pixar’s Ratatouille is often considered one of the studio’s most impressive efforts. Released in 2007, the film (one of the few to not spawn an entire franchise at this point) combined culinary ambition with a whimsical premise, earning both critical acclaim and lasting cultural relevance within Pixar’s portfolio.
Ratatouille follows Remy (Patton Oswalt), a Parisian rat with an unlikely dream of becoming a chef. After teaming up with a shy kitchen worker named Alfredo Linguini (Lou Romano), he secretly cooks his way to acclaim, challenges culinary expectations, and proves that truly anyone can cook.
The film’s popularity made it a natural candidate for theme park adaptation. In 2021, Walt Disney World Resort opened Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure at EPCOT’s France Pavilion. The trackless attraction places guests at rat scale, racing through a bustling kitchen in ride vehicles designed to evoke the perspective of a rodent.
(It’s more fun than it sounds, we promise.)
But the EPCOT version has already seen changes. Following guest complaints about motion sickness, Disney recently removed the attraction’s 3D elements during a brief refurbishment. It also plans to add new elements to the queue area in the coming months.
The Paris Version — And a Restaurant Exit
The Florida attraction was inspired by Ratatouille: L’Aventure Totalement Toquée de Rémy at Disneyland Paris. That version is currently closed for its own 3D-to-2D transformation, alongside additional updates to its queue.
Unlike EPCOT’s attraction, the Paris ride ends with something extra. Guests exit directly into Bistrot Chez Rémy, a table-service restaurant located inside Walt Disney Studios Park, soon to be renamed Disney Adventure World.
The restaurant is themed to exaggerate scale, making diners feel as though they have shrunk to Remy’s size. Oversized corks, jam jars, plates, and household items dominate the space, reinforcing the illusion long after the ride ends.
For years, the menu aligned closely with the film. Ratatouille appeared as a featured dish, echoing the movie’s climax, in which Remy prepares confit byaldi for food critic Ego (Peter O’Toole).
That connection made the dish feel essential rather than decorative. A Ratatouille-themed restaurant, attached to a Ratatouille attraction, serving ratatouille seemed less like a novelty and more like narrative consistency.
Disneyland Paris has now removed the dish from its list of main courses.
An updated menu published on the Disneyland Paris website lists grilled steak, roast cod, vegetable blanquette, and roasted chicken supreme as entrée options. Children’s offerings include chicken with fries, bolognese, and a smaller portion of roast cod.
But Ratatouille does not appear among the main dishes.

Guest reaction has been swift. As one X, formerly known as Twitter, user wrote, “It’s like Universal not selling Butterbeer.”
Don’t Worry – You Can Still Get Ratatouille
The good news is that the dish has not vanished entirely. Fine print at the bottom of the menu states that ratatouille — described as a classic French vegetable stew — remains available as a side dish upon request.
The downgrade, however, is notable. What was once a thematic centerpiece has become optional.
But having tried it for ourselves, we can confidently say that guests aren’t missing much if they forget to request the ratatouille. In general, Bistrot Chez Rémy has long drawn mixed reviews. Despite its immersive design, it holds a 3.9-star rating on Google and 3.8 stars on Tripadvisor, with frequent criticism aimed at food quality relative to price.
The restaurant charges €45 ($53) per person for a starter and main course, or €55 ($64) for a three-course meal. Some of the harshest reviews question whether the dining experience lives up to its Pixar pedigree (not to mention that hefty price tag).
At the same time, Disneyland Paris is in the middle of its most ambitious transformation in years. Walt Disney Studios Park is being rebranded as Disney Adventure World in 2026, reflecting a broader push toward large-scale, franchise-driven expansion.
In March, the park will debut World of Frozen, a fully realized land centered on Arendelle, complete with Frozen Ever After (already found in EPCOT’s Norway Pavilion, with variations also found at Hong Kong Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea), themed dining, and a new central lake designed to anchor the park’s layout.
Additional projects tied to Tangled (2010) and Up (2009) are also planned, alongside extensive placemaking changes intended to shift the park away from its studio-lot origins.
