As a TikTok meme generated by ordinary users and not a multi-billion-dollar mega-corporation, the “Ratatousical “ and “Ratatouille the TikTok Musical” videos grew out of a riff on that concept with multiple users uploading their own cooking videos featuring filmed renditions of songs like “Le Festin,” which appears in the film, as well as novel compositions inspired by the film, including “Rodent Boy, You’re an Angel to Me” and “Ode to Remy.” User Daniel Mertzlufft turned “Ode to Remy” into a Disney-esque Broadway production using instruments in Logic Pro X, going viral in the process, and professional actors like Andrew Barth Feldman and Kevin Chamberlin got in on the action, creating their own versions of the songs, as the phenomenon grew in popularity. The idea of a musical based on Ratatouille stems, of course, from the Walt Disney Company’s long relationship with Broadway productions based on its films like The Lion King and Aladdin.
