      Huh, I always saw it the otherway-round. Linguini had had motor reactions to hair follicle stimuli. Movie has a darker perspective if Remy can hijack any person with hair.

        Whenever he’s got hold of those hair reins, it seems as though Linguini loses complete control of his bodily functions, and Remy is in charge. Maybe I’m misremembering, but I’m pretty sure it’s what causes much of the comic mischief. If Linguini could still control his limbs, why wouldn’t he just stop Remy from flailing about…

        Or am I just thinking about the scene when Linguini is asleep in the kitchen and Remy is in complete control?

        Now that I think more about it, by the end of the film I think it becomes more of a synergistic thing as they learn to work in concert to cook the best dish.

        Which makes me believe that they could do the same thing with fighting, given enough time to train. In which case, it’s no question that they would (possibly quite literally) stomp Stuart Little’s whiney little bitch ass
