Giacchino stated that Bird wanted him to "express the taste of food with music" and doing the same with visuals.

He also wrote a buddy theme for both Remy and Linguini that plays when they are together. Giacchino had written two themes for Remy, one about him with the rat colony and the other about his hopes and dreams. A remastered double LP was released by Mondo, 10 years after the film's release in November 2017. Giacchino returned to Pixar to score their 2009 blockbuster Up. However, Giacchino won the Annie Award for Best Music in a Feature Production, and his first Grammy Award for Best Score Soundtrack Album. The music received critical acclaim, praising it as one of Giacchino's best score in his career, and gave his first Academy Award nomination for Best Original Score, though losing to Atonement. The score featured a diverse collection of influences of music genres: European romanticism, quasi-classical, folk-pop and traditional elements of Parisian cafe sounds. The album features original score cues, with an original song "Le Festin" written by Giacchino and performed by Camile, and was released by Walt Disney Records on June 26, 2007. The film marked Giacchino's second Pixar film after The Incredibles, which was also directed by Bird and also the second Pixar film not to be scored by Randy Newman or Thomas Newman. Ratatouille (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is the soundtrack album to the 2007 Disney/ Pixar film of the same name composed by Michael Giacchino.
