* [[Department of Redundancy Department]]: Much of the dialogue in ''Ratatoing'' consists of characters [[Parrot Exposition|repeating what someone just said]], [[Captain Obvious|pointing out something which is obvious from the visuals]], [[Viewers Are Goldfish|or repeating what someone just said]].

* [[Disproportionate Retribution]]: Someone trying to sabotage your restaurant? Send them to an "out of town laboratory."

* [["Everybody Laughs" Ending]]

* [[Gonk]]: The cat.

* [[Lost in Translation]]: The Brazilian original was obviously supposed to take place in Rio de Janeiro. The English narrator refers to it only as "The marvellous city, land of sun and heat." This leads to a restaurant patron casually saying she'd come from "a great distance" (instead of, say, "all the way from Brasilia") to sample the delicious food.

* [[Lull Destruction]]: Watch the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDa15wEhqQI preparation scene] and the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTOpoej-TZE dancing scene] in their original Brazilian language, and then take a gander at the English version.

* [[Palette Swap]]: Most of the rats are recolors of the same two models with hair pieces added.

* [[Shout-Out]]: One of the mice wear [[Mickey Mouse]] ears.
