Sure, you can call us CL. 
Sometimes you can get facts from books about the movie…
Collette has to be older than Linguini, in her speech with the knives she states that it was hard work to get in this kitchen as a woman. There’s the point. WORK. That means some years of working in a kitchen. I think Collete is 26 years old, while Linguini is about 18 or 19 years old.
I agree. Also, movies never really had a couple where the female was older than the male. Most often the male is older than the female. Because of the previous sentence, I always thought that Linguini was slightly older than Colette and that him going to Gusteau’s was after he graduated from college.
And I think that Emile is older than Remy.
Stated in the official book, by Emile himself no less heh, that I got with my DVD, he say’s one of his…well I suppose it’s “likes” since it’s in french is… “Helping my little brother (I mean in size, not years)”
I’d say Collete would be mid to late 20’s and linguini might be 20 or late 10s. Like Linguini said, he’s been in and out of jobs for awhile and he’s grown desperate.
Yup, I agree 
I have a “the making of” Corpse Bride book, and it tells the ages of most of the main characters. I’ve yet to come across a Ratatouille book that would tell the ages, though… if you ever find one, let me know 
Oooh, what are they?
…okay, that’s off topic. But seriously, I hope they somehow do find a way to tel us how old the characters in Ratatouille are. They created them! I refuse to believe a company who studied rats for a year and actually cooked hundreds of French foods just to make a movie never thought about how old their characters are.
Would you all stop quoting so much? It’s driving me crazy! (jk) 
A long time ago, I actually got into a fight with someone (and I laugh at both of us for doing this) because we had different opinions on how old Doc Hudson was in Cars. That’s why I try to avoid these discussions as much as possible, but I can’t help it so here’s my opinion:
From youngest to oldest:
Linguini, Emile, Remy, Colette, Skinner, Django
I’m guessing that the first three are in their teen years, and about the same age.
Linguini: 17
Emile: 17
Remy: 18
Colette: 26
Skinner: 42
Django: 57
Well, that’s my best guess at the moment, but it might change soon. That was almost fun! 
Arguing about the age of a car? Whoa. I mean I guess it’s not that much different from debating the age of any cartoon character, but a car.
Anyway, I’m thinkin’ Linguini is a bit older than that. Like at least technically an adult. Partly because younger would make Colette a bit of a cradle-robber and she doesn’t strike me as the type.
I think Remy is supposed to be younger than Emile… I remember Emile saying something along the lines of “Hey, little brother!” in the film.
LeBatEnRouge: Emile calls Remy his “little brother” because he’s larger than Remy. Pixar even said so, but I’ll have to find that website again. I know that Remy’s older than Emile, just not by how much.
Ah, okay, that makes sense I always thought Remy seemed older, but until now I’ve always told myself he was younger, because of that quote 
Yeah, A113 is right about the age difference between Remy and Emile. Confusing as it is, Remy is older than Emile. Trust me, I read a book on the subject… (snigger)

Yeah I stated that beforehand…
Exactly. See, I think he is an adult, he’s just one of those sort of socially awkward adults with a young boyish face… which Colette thinks is very sexy.
sheila
A113: That is what I always though. I mean, Remy seems to be more mature, so that gave us the clue.
Colette is in her late twenties, according to the script of the film, typed out by Brad Bird, I think. Anyway…
There you go! She’s probably twenty-eight or something.
Late-twenties, huh? That sounds about right. I always knew Colette and Linguini couldn’t have been the same age.
Nexas - Ah, yes. Sorry about that. 
A113 - Ah! Well, there ya’ have it! Thanks for clearing that up for us via posting up a portion of the script.

I always knew she was in her twenties. Which part of it, I have yet to know. Thanks for clearing it up A113.
