I don't think that Ratatouille had that much of an anti-capitalist angle. Let alone a late-stage capitalism one.
I didn't mean to suggest that. Simply that he was a business man doing business in a capitalist society. If you lose the talent of your main chef, what do you do? You ride his name and legacy for as long as you can.
That's just the world we live in.
In reality, you're right. But that stuff doesn't exist in the narrative of the movie. In the movie, he's a sellout and therefore: evil.
