GUSTEAU - Voiced by Brad Garrett: The late Auguste Gusteau, France's
greatest all-time culinary genius, is the author of Anyone Can Cook,
the cookbook that inspired Remy to dream of becoming a chef. His restaurant,
in Paris, France, became a landmark on the strength of Gusteau's imaginative
vision and masterful preparation, which simultaneously honored and
played with the traditions of French cuisine. Gusteau died mysteriously
soon after his restaurant was downgraded from five stars to four stars
(by Monsieur Ego), but his spirit lives on in his recipes and in Remy's
imagination - the great chef is a recurring figure as Remy's imaginary
soul mate and counselor. |

EGO - Voiced by Peter O `Toole: Anton Ego, the most powerful food critic
in Paris, can make or break a restaurant with a single review. The
sight of his dour, colorless, and unsmiling face strikes fear into
the heart of even the most complacently successful of culinary celebrities.
Chefs have become so afraid of displeasing. "The Grim Eater," as he
is commonly known, that no one dares to change a menu without his blessing.
Ego has grown accustomed to this power over the years and by now regards
it as his due. |

LINGUINI - Voiced by Lou Romano: Linguini, a timid and well-meaning
young man, is the new garbage boy at Gusteau's. After going through
a series of ill-fated jobs, Linguini is desperate to hold onto this
one, which he sees as his last hope. A chance encounter with Remy thrusts
Linguini into a highly unusual "ghost-cooking" relationship, in which
he provides the gangly brawn for Remy's culinary brains. As Remy's
food attracts more and more attention, the pair is subjected to increasingly
intense scrutiny. But for Linguini, the opportunity to spend time around
his new mentor, Colette, makes all the stress manageable. barely. |

REMY - Voiced by Patton Oswalt: Rats are no strangers to rejection,
but Remy, a rat who longs to be a great chef, has more than the usual
obstacles to overcome. His remarkable sense of smell and genius for
combining flavors puts him head and shoulders above most human chefs.
However, in the rat world he's resigned to a life of being the "poison
sniffer," using his unique talent to pick out the "safe" garbage for
his family to eat. Remy hates the idea of stealing and eating garbage
at all; he considers himself a maker, not a taker. When he's not out
scrounging around for the few gourmet scraps he can safely get his
hands on, he is busy poring over his most prized possession, a battered
cookbook by the late, great chef Auguste Gusteau. When circumstances
literally drop him in the kitchen of Gusteau's, his idol's world-famous
restaurant in Paris, France, Remy finds himself living his dream of
cooking, albeit unconventionally, in a real kitchen. |

EMILE - Voiced by Peter Sohn: Emile, Remy's brother, is a rat's rat-a
little overweight and good-natured, he's a lover of life and all things
edible and inedible. He doesn't always understand the finer points
of his brother's obsession with good food, but he is always ready to
support Remy on one of his harebrained errands, or cheer him up when
he is feeling low. His bottomless and appreciative appetite makes him
the perfect audience for Remy's culinary delights. |

DJANGO - Voiced by Brian Dennehy: Django, Remy's father, is the patriarch
of the rat clan. Django expects his oldest son, Remy, to one day take
over the responsibilities of leading and providing for the extended
rat family, but he is frustrated by his son's finickiness and reluctance
to eat perfectly good garbage. To Django, it's clear that "humans =
death" and a restaurant kitchen is no place for Remy to be hanging
around, not to mention cooking. Out of the question. |

COLETTE - Voiced by Janeane Garofalo: Colette is the toughest chef
and the only female in the kitchen at Gusteau's. Her grit, talent,
and intimidating air have brought her far, but years of climbing the
ladder in the male-dominated world of haute cuisine have made her wary
and self-contained. At first, she is exasperated at being assigned
to "babysit" Linguini as he begins his trial period as a chef. But
as time passes, Linguini's vulnerability and guilelessness begin to
win her over. |

LINGUINI - Voiced by Lou Romano: Linguini, a timid and well-meaning
young man, is the new garbage boy at Gusteau's. After going through
a series of ill-fated jobs, Linguini is desperate to hold onto this
one, which he sees as his last hope. A chance encounter with Remy thrusts
Linguini into a highly unusual "ghost-cooking" relationship, in which
he provides the gangly brawn for Remy's culinary brains. As Remy's

SKINNER - Voiced by Ian Holm: Skinner, whose modest physical stature
belies a domineering, even sadistic personality, is the chef in charge
at Gusteau's. Once the sous-chef to Gusteau himself, Skinner assumed
control of the restaurant and business when the great chef died without
an heir, and promptly set about exploiting Gusteau's reputation with
an extensive and mercenary line of Gusteau-branded products, from pizzas
to frozen burritos. He's driven the restaurant, once a temple of culinary
art, into a profitable but soulless luxury meal machine. |
