What is the name of Remy's father in Ratatouille?

The story behind the answer

Remy’s father in Ratatouille is Django.

Django is the patriarch and leader of Remy’s rat colony, and he is voiced by Brian Dennehy in the original English version. He expects Remy to help provide for the extended family and views human beings, especially restaurant workers, as a serious danger to rats.

Django and Remy disagree because Remy dreams of becoming a chef, while Django believes rats should survive by scavenging. Their conflict is part of the film’s larger tension between family duty and individual ambition. Django’s warnings are not simply cruelty: he has seen the dangers humans pose to the colony.

Gusteau is Remy’s human culinary idol and an imaginary guide, not his father. Émile is Remy’s older brother, while Skinner is the restaurant’s antagonistic chef.
