TikTok’s latest craze isn’t a new viral dance or catchy sound, it’s…a Ratatouille musical? Yes, a Ratatouille musical.

Traditional entertainment industries have taken a huge hit from the COVID-19 pandemic, but no industry is better than live theater. From massive production teams and in-house audiences to ushers and hosts, theaters have been forced to close due to understandable infection concerns. With mass vaccinations still months away, Broadway is not expected to reopen until mid-2021. Nearly a year’s worth of shows have been suspended and thousands of jobs have been laid off. This viral musical arrived at just the right time.

“I've never seen anything where the entire world is working together for a common goal, for a common project,” creator Emily Jacobson said of the viral movement during an interview with Inside Edition.

It all started on August 10 with an innocent little TikTok song sung by the 26-year-old teacher in the aptly titled “Ode to Remy,” about the titular rat from the hit 2007 Pixar film. Commemorating the announcement of EPCOT’s new attraction “Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure,” set to premiere in 2021, little did Jacobson know that the “rat of all our dreams” would become more than a catchy throwaway lyric.
