It’s about a mother learning to improve her relationship with her family.
Her journey of self-discovery takes her todozens of different universes, each stranger than the last.
One of these worlds sees Evelyn (Michelle Yeoh) working as a hibachi chef.
Cooking alongside her is a chef with a secret under his toque: a sentient raccoon named Raccacoonie.
The rat inRatatouilleis actually named “Remy”.
Evelyn reveals Raccacoonie to the world, and he’s taken by animal control.

Realizing how important Raccacoonie was to Chad, Evelyn accepts her mistake and decides to help him.
They were like, ‘What is Shooky Shylock?!’
So early days, we thought Evelyn could be similar.
It’s a very relatable experience, particularly for those whose parents grew up speaking a different language.
That whole thing becomes its own arc.
The Daniels' movies are filled with jokes taken far past the point you would expect them to be.
It goes from being funny, to too much, to even funnier.
There’s more to figuring out Raccacoonie than you may have guessed.
Hamer said,
“The guys [the Daniels] were like, ‘Think cheap.
We don’t want it to look good.
It should look goofy, like a bad taxidermy.’
That was one of the challenges.
The guys [were] going, ‘Cheap and quick and dirty.’
And I’m going, ‘No.
Cool and beautiful and funny!'”
There is a raggedy appearance to Raccacoonie that makes the reveal that much funnier.
Not only do raccoons talk in this universe, they also look like crudely taxidermied props.
Evelyn has trouble understanding what’s under the surface of the people she knows.
She doesn’t see the fractures forming in her daughter and husband because she doesn’t stop to ask.
Instead of digging in her heels, she apologizes and helps Chad.
It’s an example of her slowly changing heart throughoutEverything Everywhere All at Once.
