An Oscar-winning, fan-favorite animated hit is heading to a new streaming home. The Pixar favorite, which earned more than $623 million worldwide, will soon be available for subscribers on Hulu.
Ratatouille begins streaming on Hulu in March
Beginning March 1, Ratatouille joins Hulu’s library, putting the fan-favorite Pixar gem back in the streaming spotlight (via Hulu). The 2007 hit, directed by Brad Bird and produced by Pixar Animation Studios, has hopped between platforms over the years as licensing deals expired and new ones began.
The story centers on Remy, a Paris-dwelling rat with five-star chef dreams and no interest in staying in the sewer. Against the odds, he teams up with awkward kitchen worker Linguini and secretly runs the show from under his hat. The film mixes sharp comedy, real heart, and foodie culture. That tasty combo helped it stand out in the crowded animated field and keeps audiences coming back for seconds.
The film’s voice lineup boasts major talent. Patton Oswalt leads the charge as Remy, backed by Lou Romano, Ian Holm, and Peter O’Toole. Critics and moviegoers were all in when the film first hit worldwide theatres. The movie didn’t just earn praise; it took home the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. Years later, the love still holds strong. The movie sits at around 96% on Rotten Tomatoes and roughly 8.1/10 on IMDb.
Ratatouille performed strongly at the box office. The Pixar Animation Studios and Walt Disney Pictures release carried an estimated $150 million budget and went on to pull in about $623 million worldwide. That run firmly stamped it as a commercial win. The story didn’t end in theaters. Strong reviews and steady fan love kept the movie buzzing for years. Its reputation only grew with time.
Although Pixar never produced a direct sequel, the film’s legacy lives on through theme park attractions and continued streaming demand. Its frequent platform changes mostly come down to shifting licensing windows as Disney manages where its catalog titles appear. Now, with its Hulu arrival, Ratatouille is ready for another round of streaming success for a new wave of viewers.
