Remy Voice Actor Patton Oswalt Wants to Do ‘Ratatouille 2’ but It Can’t Be a ‘Money Grab’: A Lot of Sequels Are ‘Inorganic’

Patton Oswalt, the voice of Remy in Pixar's 2007 film "Ratatouille," expressed his desire for a sequel to the Oscar-winning movie, but emphasized that it must be a genuine artistic endeavor and not a "money grab." Oswalt stated that many current sequels feel "inorganic," suggesting a lack of authentic creative drive behind them. He believes a "Ratatouille 2" should only proceed if it maintains the original film's quality and storytelling integrity. Pixar is currently developing several sequels, including "Toy Story 5," "Incredibles 3," "Monsters Inc. 3," and "Coco 2," indicating a strategic focus on established intellectual property. However, "Ratatouille" remains a notable exception to Pixar's sequel strategy thus far. Oswalt's comments highlight a broader industry trend where established franchises are being revisited, and the voice actor's stance suggests a preference for quality over sheer volume in the creation of new installments.
