• Pixar animators worked with chef Thomas Keller at his restaurant, 'The French Laundry,' to learn the art of cooking. Keller also voices one of the patrons of 'Gusteau's' restaurant.
• To create a realistic look for the manure pile, artists photographed and studied real decaying matter. Fifteen different types of produce, such as apples, berries, bananas, mushrooms, oranges, broccoli, and lettuce, were left to rot and then photographed.
• During the initial character design, a sculptor created nine clay sculptures of Remy.
• In one of the street scenes, a mime appears in the background, who also appeared as Bomb Voyage in The Incredibles (2004).
• Remy has 1.15 million hairs rendered, while Colette has 115,000 hairs. The average person has about 110,000 hairs.
• A shop with a display of dead rats actually exists. It is located at 8 Halles Street in the first arrondissement and has been there since 1872.
• Colonel Remy was the alias of Gilbert Renault, a hero of the French Resistance during World War II.
• In the trailer, the French waiter describing cheeses is voiced by director Brad Bird.
• To understand how to draw the scene with the wet chef, artists dressed a specially trained little person in chef's clothing and threw them into a pool to see which parts of the outfit stuck to the body and which were see-through.
• Several changes to the rats’ appearance (mainly their noses and ears) were made after rat expert Debbie Daumman brought some of her pets to the animation department for reference.
• The animated film WALL-E, also produced by Pixar, features rodent-like robots inhabiting a landfill inside a massive spaceship. They are called REM-E.
• Linguini wears underwear with the Incredibles’ emblems. This can be seen in the episode where he is trying to hide Remy.
