As I understand, computer animation (as in Pixar) has built-in capabilities for the physically impossible. For example, there’s no constraint in the software that solid bodies have to have constant volume—when Ratatouille bounces around, he’s changing volume all the time for extra expressiveness and dramatic effect. In that way, “cinematic” reality is simpler than realistic reality—though of course it takes more artistry on the part of the animator to make it look good.

That isn’t technically impossible. ;)
Ratatouille is not a character, it’s a food. The rat’s name is Remy.
Dang, forgot that.
