Overview
- Brad Bird told Collider on June 25 that he has no interest in making Ratatouille 2 because, in his view, “we told that story.”
- Bird said Pixar executives have made informal overtures or “little feints” to gauge his interest but that he has repeatedly declined.
- Patton Oswalt, who voices Remy, has said he would be happy to return only if Bird supplies an organic, director-led idea for a sequel.
- Bird is promoting his new film Ray Gunn, which reports say is slated for Netflix release in December, and he has signaled openness to further Incredibles work while declining Ratatouille follow-ups.
- Pixar’s recent box-office wins with sequels give the studio a clear business case to pursue franchise returns, so the decision not to move forward now may shift efforts toward other projects or different creative teams rather than a director-driven Ratatouille continuation.
