Ratz is a 2003 Franco-Canadian animated series.

Two rats, Rapido and Razmo, are stowaways on the S.S. Wanderer, a cargo ship transporting a huge amount of Gouda cheese. When they're not dealing with the current crisis (often due to themselves, the crew or temporary passengers/cargo), they race throughout the ship using "ratboards", makeshift flying racecars.

Tropes used in Ratz include:

• Blessed Are the Cheesemakers
• Captain Oblivious: The Captain of the ship, appropriately.
• Cartoon Cheese: It's more holey than Gouda usually is.
• Deranged Animation
• Flying Car/Hover Board: The ratboards.
• Hey, It's That Voice!: French comedic duo Eric et Ramzy provided the voices in the version aired in France. The Canadian airing featured Terrance Scammell (Tripping the Rift, Arthur, Samurai Pizza Cats) as Rapido.
• Homemade Inventions: The ratboards seem to be made by strapping jet engines to mousetraps, but an episode shows that the rats don't know what an actual mousetrap is.
  • Razmo is a mechanic and creats various gadgets over the course of the series.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: Rapido wears red and Razmo wears blue. Razmo does lose his temper on occasion, however.
