Patton Oswalt, star of Disney-Pixar’s 2007 hit Ratatouille, expressed enthusiasm for a sequel-slash-spinoff series on the coming Disney+ streaming service after writer-comedian Zach Anner suggested a show that follows Patton’s rat chef and food enthusiast Remy as he “teaches kids the joys of cooking.” Replying to the “pitch” on Twitter, Oswalt enthusiastically tweeted, “oh my god dude YES.” Oswalt most recently said he would return for a theatrical sequel — which the actor-comedian jokingly dubbed Rata2ouille — if writer-director Brad Bird returned and cooked up a “truly great” story.

“If [a sequel] happens, I’ll be the last to know,” Oswalt told EW’s Couch Surfing in April. “I don’t want there to be a sequel just to do a sequel. I want it to be if Brad Bird comes up with a truly great story. Then we’ll do it.” Like last summer’s Incredibles 2, Bird’s 14-years-later followup to his 2004 superhero hit The Incredibles, Oswalt only expects Bird to develop a sequel to Ratatouille once he has the right ingredients — namely a worthwhile story.

“He was in no rush to do Incredibles 2,” he said. “He waited until he thought of a really cool story. He was like, ‘If I come up with a story, we’ll do one.’”
