It started out as a simple hobby when, lo and behold, I realized I have just accumulated 20,000 distinct toy characters in my collection... and the number is still growing. This blog is a great space to share to others just how amazing some of these characters are especially the ones that may have been forgotten or perhaps even those deemed insignificant. Visit Percy's World of Toys as often as you can and witness how the list progresses right before your eyes. Enjoy.

2487. Colette Tatou
Colette Tatou is the lead female character from Disney/Pixar's 2007 film Ratatouille. She is voiced by Janeane Garofalo.
Colette Tatou is the only female cook in Chef Skinner's kitchen.
Colette is a capable cook, hard working and very tough to enter the masculine world of haute cuisine. She had defended Linguini from being fired as a garbage boy when Skinner caught him 'cooking' the soup in which Remy had made. She takes Linguini under her wing and teaches him the skills necessary to survive in the fast-paced kitchen. She was at first unaware of Luigini's admiration for her. Colette felt disgruntled when Skinner took a personal interest into Luigini, which in fact Skinner was trying to force the truth of Lingini's cooking.
The next day, she told a drunken Linguini that she thought he believed she was different, and stormed out when Linguini heeded her no attention. Linguini awakes, and was about to tell her the truth. Colette was initially puzzled by his actions and raving behavior, and slips a hand into her bag for a canister of mace. Remy desperately makes Linguini fall onto Colette to prevent him talking further and the two kiss. Colette was equally surprised as Linguini but quickly falls in love, dropping the mace. They rapidly blossom a romantic relationship.

2395. Emile
Emile is a brown rat, Remy's big brother, Django's other son, and one of the main protagonists in Disney/Pixar's2007 hit Ratatouille. He is voiced by Peter Sohn.
He is a brown (probably like his mother's fur color), overweight rat, and is slightly larger than his younger brother. He is friendly, understanding, and is the only one who Remy tells about his cooking, TV watching, and reading talent. He never tells their dad Django due to his brotherly support to Remy (although he did carelessly tell his friends about Remy's activities inside Gusteau's Restaurant). Emile loves food, however, he often swallows food whole and, to Remy's disappointment, doesn't savor the flavors.
2394. Django
Django is Remy and Emile's dad and the leader of the rat colony in Ratatouille.
His son Remy is gifted with a keen understanding of cuisine, which Django really doesn't understand, as well as a powerful sense of smell and taste. Django notices his son's gift of a strong smell when Remy grabs a poisonous apple core away from in which he was going to eat. Because of this, Django gives his son the job of sniffing for rat poison. Django is split apart from his son Remy when their rat colony is discovered by the home's owner, forcing Django and the rats to flee into the sewer. Django is later reunited with Remy, when Emile brings him back to the rat pack in their new home they moved into. When Django hears that Remy has been cooking in the kitchen with humans, he is against it and gives Remy warning that humans and rats will never get along, showing his son an extermination shop with dead rats hanging on a bar, but Remy refuses to believe this. Later, Remy is captured by Skinner, in which Django and Emile help rescue him. Remy returns to the kitchen, where Linguini reveals the secret of Remy cooking by controlling his movements under his hat to the staff. Everyone is in disbelief and walks out of the kitchen leaving Linguini helpless. Django finally see's his son's passion and determination to cook, and that humans aren't that bad. As of this, he organizes the rest of the pack to help out in the kitchen. They lock Skinner and the Health Inspector into the storeroom when they try to interfere. Near the end, Django is sitting at mini tables located on a hedge of a window behind plants talking with other rats in his son's new restaurant, La Ratatouille.
2393. Remy
Patton Oswalt as Remy, a rat. He strives to serve a grander purpose in life. Director Brad Bird chose Oswalt to voice after hearing his food-related comedy routine. Remy was named after director Brad Bird's dog, an American Hairless Terrier.
2369. Alfredo Linguini
Lou Romano as Alfredo Linguini, the son of Auguste Gusteau. He is hired as the restaurant's kitchen cleaner, but befriends Remy in the process.
2368. Skinner
Ian Holm as Skinner, a diminutive chef and owner of Auguste Gusteau's restaurant. He plans to use Gusteau's name to market a line of microwaveable meals. Skinner's behaviour, diminutive size, and body language are loosely based on Louis de Funès.
