I Trained A Rat To Cook Ratatouille

This video is safe for most kids, as it creatively teaches cooking steps and animal training through a fun, educational experiment inspired by the movie 'Ratatouille.' The strongest positive qualities are its hands-on demonstration of cooking techniques and the positive message that anyone can cook, but parents should note the brief moment where the rat eats raw broccoli and the mild surprise reveal that a rat prepared the meal, which may unsettle sensitive children.
