Genius Ratatouille Theory Claims Another Chef Was Controlled By A Rat
A genius Ratatouille theory claims Chef Gusteau was also controlled by a rat under his hat, similar to how Remy and Linguini operate together. In Pixar's beloved animation Ratatouille, Gusteau is a famous chef who supposedly died after his restaurant received a bad review.

Furthermore, when Chef Skinner steals a strand of hair from Gusteau’s hat and gives it to his lawyer to perform a DNA test, the lawyer returns to say that the hair was rodent hair. This theory compellingly then goes on to suggest that Gusteau did not die because his restaurant got a bad review but instead died from heartbreak after the death of his rat friend —
