What happens when the worldβs most lovable culinary genius meets Christmasβ most notorious mischief-maker? Ratatouille & The Grinch (2025) answers this question with a deliciously unexpected tale that blends food, festive spirit, and emotional growth into one delightful holiday adventure.

Remy, forever searching for the next grand creation, finds himself whisked far from Paris and into the snowy chaos of Whoville. Brad Garrett brings Remyβs optimism and spark to life once again β a tiny chef with a gigantic heart, determined to create Christmas magic one dish at a time.
Meanwhile, Benedict Cumberbatch returns as the Grinch, dripping with sarcasm, mischief, and that signature reluctance toward holiday joy. Assigned (yet again) to sabotage Christmas, he begrudgingly accepts the mission β until he bumps into a rat with a whisk and a dream.

Their first encounter is a hilarious disaster β Remy trying to teach the Grinch about flavor while the Grinch just wants to set fire to the roast beast. But as they clash, something begins to simmer beneath the chaos: curiosity, vulnerability, and the smallest hint of friendship.
Tasked with ruining the holiday feast, Remy instead convinces the Grinch to elevate it β if youβre going to ruin something, ruin it beautifully! What follows is a culinary rollercoaster where sabotage becomes creativity, and mischief slowly evolves into meaning.
As Whoville prepares for its most important Christmas banquet, Remy secretly slips lessons into every recipe β about compassion, teamwork, and the strange satisfaction of feeding others instead of stealing from them. The Grinch, fighting his instincts, starts realizing that maybe the real power isnβt taking joy away β itβs giving it.

The more Remy cooks, the more the Grinch softens. Not because he wants to β he hates it β but because, like food itself, connection sneaks into the cracks of the heart. Watching the Grinch taste his own creation and not know why it makes him feel anything is one of the filmβs funniest and most touching moments.
The climax? A Whoville feast like no other β where the Grinch stands before everyone expecting boos and chaos, only to be met with gratitude, tears, and a seat at the table he never thought he deserved. It is Remyβs final dish β a recipe about belonging β that transforms him.
This film shines brightest in its message: great meals donβt just fill stomachs, they change people. And sometimes, the coldest heart only needs warmth served on a plate to begin to thaw.

Packed with food gags, holiday charm, emotional growth, and a surprisingly profound partnership, Ratatouille & The Grinch (2025) becomes a delicious reminder that joy is meant to be shared β and even the grumpiest souls can be fed back to life.
A festive treat for all ages β savoury, sweet, and unexpectedly soulful. π½οΈππ
