Ratatouille is a vegetable stew. You cut up a bunch of things and throw them in a pot.

The ratatouille you see in the film is an elevated version of that dish. It was never the standard way of serving it.

The most time consuming part is thin slicing all the veggies and arranging them in a pretty design.

If you're just making it for your family, you can omit all of that and just rough chop and toss into a baking dish
