Steve Pulaski The Rugrats television series is almost twenty years old, which is surprising because when one watches the episodes of the TV series the color and overall look of the show looks like a 2000 television series. Enough with that, lets discuss the film. Its what every TV show movie adaptation is. Just an extended episode of the series. Though the sequel is something that is a step in the right direction to be different from the series. With this though, it's fitting to be a full length movie because to chop this down to a thirty minute film would be impossible. Though, this is a favorable TV show adaptation in many ways.The plot is basic, but may be complex to a kid age five or six who this is targeted for. Parents may need to explain somethings about babies after the hospital scene. Tommy, Chuckie, Phil, and Lil are our protagonists in this ride and Tommy's mother Didi is having a baby. When welcoming what was thought to be a baby girl, is now a baby boy. They go with the name Dillon Prescott Pickles and now Tommy has a baby brother.Instead of being a nice companion he becomes a big nightmare for the whole Pickles family because Dil will not stop crying. Both parents Didi and Stu are too focused on Dil to pay attention to Tommy which is how every family gets when a new child is born. Phil, Lil, and Chuckie get tired of the crying and put Dil in the new "Reptarmobile" which Tommy's dad made in an effort to take him back to the hospital because he's "broked". Tommy does the adult thing of trying to resist, but after some odd results, the four wind up lost in the forest with no one to help them.The movie gets heartbreaking in a few sequences and tends to squeeze a tear out of audiences. Some of the humor and references will possibly be way over young kids' heads which is basically how every kids' movie can be sometimes. Watching this for the first time in about eight years I pointed out a lot more and understood more and more of it. The question remains me for me which children's film do I like more; The Rugrats Movie or Hey Arnold: The Movie? I think Hey Arnold's film made a bit more sense than this, but still both are fine pieces of film.This was too Nickelodeon's film film to win a Nickelodeon Kids Choice Award which I think is pretty lame. I don't think the company's film deserved to win the company's award. Thats like me patting myself on the back and giving me $100,000 for my review and giving it a "best" award. But I guess on a certain level it makes the smallest amount of sense. Either way though, this film deserves it and is still widely enjoyed by audiences today.Starring: Elizabeth Daily, Christine Cavanaugh, Kath Soucie, Cheryl Chase, Cree Summer, Tara Strong, and Charlie Adler. Directed: Igor Kovalyov and Norton Virgien.

sciencesite A really good film, I thought, at the time, it was one of the best 'modern' cartoons, the digital effects were again very good. I admit I am rather biased as I was quite an avid Rugrats fan at the time, and still think there a really good small screen cartoon for both children and adults. Anyway, back onto the film, the soundtrack to the film was also quite good, with some up-and coming artists, some of whom who made it big afterwards, although some of the rap songs on it weren't my cup of tea! Overall I was really impressed, and although technology has since moved on it remains a good feature-length. I also thought the sequel, Rugrats in Paris was another good film, however I wasn't over-keen on the 'Wild Thornberries & Rugrats' mixture in the second sequel.Cheers, James

Teng Vang First the movie didn't make any sense to me when I was 8 years old, it was just to weird at first, is very odd. I have seen it 4 times, 3 times on TV, when Nickelodeon put on the air in summer 2004, once in a movie tape. Now I'm 19 years old, watch it again because nothing good to watch on TV, this time I was touch by it, now I really know what happen, in some parts of the movie I amazed, cried and full of joy. Tommy and his friends have trouble will Dil, Phil and Lil wants to take Dil back to Hospital. When Didi and Stu (Tommy and Dil parents) sing to Dil and poor old Tommy sitting in a closet door sing "Baby Dil..." something like that and it hit me. My eyes where tearing up, I try to fight it but fail, can't resist it. One part where Tommy found Dil with some circus monkey, later Dil didn't care about Tommy, takes the blanket to himself, later Tommy and Dil fighting for Bananas food (Baby food that is) Tommy said "You want bananers I'll give you bananers, you'll have a mommy monkey and a monkey daddy and a monkey brother..." Tommy was about to pour the baby food to Dil, monkey running away, and there it goes, the reflection by the water show Tommy's reaction (sadness) that part make me have even more tears. It was the best movie ever, I don't even mind buying or watching again over and over. I can't wait to watch RUGRATS IN Paris- MOVIE and the 3rd one too. I say these movies are a MUST SEE MOVIE if you know the story and the feelings of these babies going though.

ross robinson I remember when the rugrats movie came out in 1998, i went to see this film at the cinemas and i thought it was brillant, it made me laugh, it was full of excitement, full of Laughter, full of hunor and full of fun, i liked the new arrival character, DIL, he made me laugh when he said the word pooping and then he trumped, that made me laugh alot
