Samantha Faiers and Kimberley Garner joined Oscar-winning rat Remy at Disneyland Paris on Saturday to preview the new Ratatouille - The Adventure.

The hit 2007 animation is honoured in the theme park's 60th attraction that includes an area paying homage to Remy and Linguini's Paris, a ride and, of course, a restaurant.

The TOWIE and Made In Chelsea stars joined a menu of celebrities at the Walt Disney Studios Park also including Michelle Heaton and TV chef Dean Edwards at a VIP launch ahead of the zone's official opening on July 10.

The ride, Ratatouille: L'Aventure Totalement Toquée de Rémy, sees the guest shrunk to a rat's size for a journey on a 'ratmobile' through the kitchen, dining room and even inside the walls and on the roof of Gusteau's famous restaurant while avoiding nasty Chef Skinner.

The ride is the first at a Disney park to feature trackless vehicles that the customers ride in while 3D projections of images from the Pixer Studios behind the original film add to the drama.

A Ratatouille-inspired version of Paris, dubbed La Place de Remy, has also been created in a corner of Toon Studios that is also home to the restaurant, Bistrot Chez Remy, which continues the tale of the film after critic Anton Ego is won over by the little guy's culinary ability.

Linguini, the bumbling dishwasher who served as Remy's hands in the kitchen and became his best buddy, will also be a new addition to the park for fans to meet.
