Who Are You Calling a Street Rat?

OK, I have to offer a rebuttal to this next tweet. On the one hand, I absolutely agree that Remy would destroy Stuart Little in a fight, largely because Stuart is a spoiled little rich kid who happens to also be a mouse. But it would not be correct to say that Remy is a street rat.

Remy lives in the attic of a charming, quaint French cottage in an idyllic rural setting, with the only threat to his life being a very old lady who isn’t aware her house is infested with rats. When he ends up in Paris, he befriends a human who gives him a nice place to live and a job in a Michelin-starred restaurant. There’s nothing street about any of it. Come on, am I the only one who’s actually seen Ratatouille?
