Toys and Games Reviews of Mattel Ratatouille Little Chef Remy
Customer Review: Fun for the kitchen
Summary: 4 Stars
My kids and I loved the movie and positively adore Remy, plus we enjoy cooking and baking together, so I thought Little Chef Remy would make a fun addition to our kitchen.
Remy's main feature is that he "smells" and comments on anything put underneath his nose. He "dances" and plays joyful cooking music too. My husband and I find Remy to be quite hilarious actually, and it's nice to have him around whenever we need a good laugh. You never know how he will react to each "ingredient" he smells and he certainly "knows" what he doesn't like. My kids love it when he says "eeeeewwwww, that is gross!"
I agree with one of the previous reviewers that Remy should definiately not be considered a toy for children to have. Even if he were, he'd end up collecting dust in a corner somewhere after only a few minutes of "smelling" various objects the kids could find. By keeping Remy in the kitchen, he's ready to be enjoyed by us and any adult or child that comes for a visit. He sure does look cute sitting on the counter by the stove too!
As for the price, I purchased Remy over the holidays for a significant Amazon discount. I personally don't think he's worth paying full price for, but if you find him on sale, he's a fun addition to your kitchen!
Customer Review: Loved the movie, love the rat!

I'm an adult who loves cartoons. "Ratatouille" has become my most favorite, saw it three times in the theater and pre-ordered it here at Amazon as soon as it was available. I think this toy came up in the "Today's Deals" under toys over a month ago and I was intrigued enough to check it out. I decided to order it for myself for Christmas(what's Christmas without a toy?)and am SO happy I did. I've had so much fun playing with this, and he's going to have a special place on the counter as soon as my kitchen re-model is done. In fact, I've enjoyed it so much, I ordered two more when he went on sale briefly after Christmas! I do wish it had better instructions, but it was easy enough to figure out the different switch positions. If you like interactive toys, this little rat is a lot of fun!Customer Review: A Look at Remy :: Youtube Video

I looked hard for a Remy that looked close to the one in the movie. Originally I wanted a plush toy that would be soft and cuddly for my girlfriend that absolutely loves it. But this was all that could find and I was not about to buy so disfigured-looking Remy from the Walt Disney store just because it was soft. To this day I still haven't seen a soft Remy for my girlfriend.
This toy is. It moves a lot, to the point that it can "crawl" off of a table. Animatronics are pretty cool but as most any other animatronic toy it can get "old" pretty quickly.
We finally removed the batteries and just have it sitting by the kitchen.

Customer Review: Okay toy - don't expect a whole lot

This was one of my 7 yr old son's "had to have" gifts for Christmas. We got it out of the box, and because it is a hard robot under the fur, you can't really "play" with it. It is more to be put on a table and wave stuff under his nose. He played thru each of the "sayings" once, then went and put it next to his bed so it wouldn't get broken. (His idea. ) He hasn't touched it since. What a bummer. A chef Remy stuffed plush would have been much better. But for what the toy was made for, it does the job advertised. I would say it's almost more of a grownup toy, like the singing Elvis fish or dancing penguins. I think if this hits the floor a few times it's days will be over. Not a bad toy, just not what we'd hoped it would be.Customer Review: My 7 year old daughter loves it...

She says it is "so cool!" They get to pretend to cook with Remy. She took Remy and got out a kitchen bowl and started adding pretend food and Remy was sniffing it....it was so cute. We have had it for 2 weeks now, works great. Just be sure to turn off after use to save battery, b/c he will keep talking. You also have to turn the button underneath off from "demo", to regular so he will go through ALL the phrases. The only thing that I will say about disliking it...we paid [...] for it at another store, and I don't know if it's really worth more than that unless your child loved the movie as much as mine!
