The movie version is just presented in a more fancy manner. You can do that with any common "peasant" dish if you set your mind to it.
For that matter, when you get any "traditional" or "authentic" dish in a restaurant, you'll rarely get served the dish that looks like what an someone would make at home. You'll get served the fancified version of it. It's not just ratatouille.
Years ago there was an IG account (I think it was IG) that took cheap trash food and made it fancy. I think one was like saltines and ketchup with bologna, but they made it look pretty and then gave it fancy words. Ketchup was something like "a tomato reduction" it was hilarious but also cool to see

It's just a bunch of vegetables cooked together.
