What is the name of Remy's brother?

Remy’s brother is Emile. In Ratatouille, Emile is a friendly, enthusiastic rat who belongs to the same colony as Remy and their father, Django. Unlike Remy, who has an unusually refined sense of smell and taste and dreams of cooking, Emile is more interested in eating whatever he can find.

Emile supports Remy even when he does not fully understand his brother’s culinary ambitions. Their relationship helps show the contrast between Remy’s imaginative, individualistic personality and the colony’s practical approach to survival. Emile also appears in the short film Your Friend the Rat, which was included with Ratatouille home-video releases.

A common mix-up is confusing Emile with other major characters. Skinner is the restaurant’s suspicious chef and former sous-chef, Gusteau is the famous chef whose image inspires Remy, and Django is Remy and Emile’s father. Peter Sohn, a Pixar filmmaker, provided Emile’s voice in the English-language film. The character’s name is often written Émile with an accent, but “Emile” is the same canonical answer in a quiz context.
