What animation studio produced Ratatouille?

The animation studio that produced Ratatouille was Pixar Animation Studios. The film was Pixar’s eighth feature and was produced for distribution under the Walt Disney Pictures banner, which is why both company names are associated with it.

Ratatouille began as a Pixar project conceived by Jan Pinkava, who developed the original concept, characters, and story foundations. After Pixar decided the project needed a major creative reworking, Brad Bird took over as director in 2005 and reshaped the screenplay with Jim Capobianco and Pinkava credited for the story. Pixar’s animators then created the film’s detailed Parisian settings, expressive rats, and unusually elaborate food imagery.

The most common confusion is answering Disney. Disney distributed the movie and, after acquiring Pixar, became its corporate parent, but Pixar was the production studio credited with making the animated feature. Sony Pictures Animation and DreamWorks were not involved as Ratatouille’s producing studio. The film opened in 2007 and became known for combining Pixar’s computer animation with a story about creativity, French cuisine, and an unlikely partnership between Remy and Linguini.
