“We tried to stay away from the most common gross-out points of rats-we wanted both Remy and Emile to be very charming, and immediately accessible-but we also wanted to emphatically say that they are rats. For Remy, we stayed away from the pointy, up-turned mouse nose and actually went the other way, making the nose turn down. Remy’s silhouette curves into this cresent shape, leading with his nose, because of his fantastic sense of smell. Emile has some of the more mouse-like qualities, like the up-turned nose. Part of this was because we wanted to differentiate him from Remy, but Emile also just had different personality ingredients. His nose is much smaller because smell doesn’t matter to him as much; he’s not a connoisseur. But his belly is much bigger, because he’ll eat anything.” Greg Dykstra- Character Designer Page22
