This article is about Remy's father from Ratatouille. For the Phineas and Ferb character or Star Wars character, see Django Brown or Jango Fett, respectively.
Django is Remy and Emile's father and the leader of the rat colony. He is a major supporting character in Disney•Pixar's 2007 animated feature film Ratatouille.
Role in the film
His son, Remy is gifted with a keen understanding of cuisine, which Django really doesn't understand, as well as a powerful sense of smell and taste. Django notices his son's gift of a strong smell when Remy grabs a poisonous apple core away from him, in which he was going to eat. Because of this, Django gives his son the job of sniffing for rat poison. Django has split apart from his son Remy when their rat colony is discovered by the home's owner, forcing Django and the rats to flee into the sewer. Django is later reunited with Remy when Emile brings him back to the rat colony in their new home they moved into.
When Django hears that Remy has been close to humans, he is against it and gives Remy a warning that humans and rats will never get along, showing his son an extermination shop with dead rats hanging on a bar, but Remy refuses to believe this. Later, Remy is captured by Skinner, in which Django and Emile help rescue him. Remy returns to the kitchen, where Linguini reveals the secret of Remy cooking by controlling his movements under his hat to the staff. Everyone is in disbelief and walks out of the kitchen, leaving Linguini helpless. Django finally sees his son's passion and determination to cook, and realizes that humans aren't that bad after he saw what Linguini had done. As of this, he organizes a team of rats to stop the Health Inspector, who came to Gusteau's to check the restaurant for a rat infestation Skinner reported, and the rest of the pack to help Remy out in the kitchen. The team locks the health inspector into the storeroom as well as Skinner when he tries to interfere. Near the end, Django is sitting at mini tables located on a hedge of a window behind some plants talking with other rats in his son's new restaurant, La Ratatouille.
Trivia
- Django's name is referred to only once in the movie. Around 58 minutes into the film, when Remy is telling his father about his new living situation, another rat comes over and starts talking with Django, thus interrupting the conversation. Very faintly, viewers can hear the rat say, "Hey, Django..." and proceeds in telling a joke to Django, which makes him chuckle.
- He shares his name with a spaghetti western hero portrayed by Franco Nero, Uncle Topolino's voice actor.
- In Remy's Ratatouille Adventure, while Emile does the English safety spiel, Django does the Spanish safety spiel.
