The first theatrical film from the popular Nickelodeon TV series became the surprise hit of the 1998 holiday box-office crunch, trouncing the highly competitive kids market. The key ingredient to the Rugrats' success is the writing. Venturing into their first theatrical movie, the pals--including the intrepid diaper-wearing Tommy Pickles, the nervous Chuckie, the twins Lil and Phil, and the wonderfully prissy Angelica--garble English into funny prose ("I want those fugitives back in custard-y!") and use movie references in their fantasy life. The opening here is a dead-on spoof of Raiders of the Lost Ark . The big news for the movie is that Tommy gets a new baby brother, named Dylan (or Dil for short). The rest of the film has no real plot but is a series of adventures as the clan gets lost in the forest riding an inventive Reptar wagon that is the '90s equivalent of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Parents search for the kids, the kids learn new lessons, everyone goes home happy. The Rugrats Movie is not as wildly appealing as A Bug's Life but is far goofier and wackier with its animation. There's also a tremendous sense of joy that is often missing from cartoons these days, and the songs used in the film--from such diverse musicians as Busta Rhymes, Iggy Pop, Lisa Loeb, Lou Rawls, Beck, and Devo--add to the fun. It's an acquired taste, but the creators' first efforts to take the 10-minute TV sketches into an 80-minute feature pay off. The video contains a short ( Winslow Doc ) from Nickelodeon's series CatDog . Although the animation is similar, one can only hope the series does not reach the popularity of Rugrats . --Doug Thomas Actors: Elizabeth Daily, Christine Cavanaugh, David Spade, Whoopi Goldberg, Kath Soucie Directors: Igor Kovalyov, Norton Virgien Writers: Arlene Klasky, David N.

Better than i remember
watched this countless times as a kid, but rewatching it now as an adult really hit differently. I finally caught a lot of the jokes I missed back then, and with a toddler and a newborn of my own, it felt even more meaningful. Such a great movie.

An amazing animated film! Nick should be proud of what they accomplished!
I remember that when I was a little kid, Nickelodeon, PBS Kids, Fox Kids, and Cartoon Network were my life. (Cow & Chicken, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Bobby's World, Blue's Clues, and especially Rugrats). I always was a fan of Rugrats and knew that someday, they'd get a movie and I was right. I remember seeing this film on Pay-per-view in the fall of '98 at a hotel in San Diego, CA and I enjoyed it from start to finish. Excellent animation and songs make this a good film. Tommy gets a new baby brother, Dylan Prescott Pickles (or Dil, played by Tara Strong), and things go off-course for the Pickles family and their friends. Plus, Tommy's dad has a new invention: the Reptar Wagon ("The ultimate in child's transportation!", "The perfect children's toy!") and the babies go off with it into one of the biggest adventures of their infant lives. Overall a good film for kids and nostalgic teens and adults.

A Good Nostalgia Kids Movie
I may not be a Rugrats fan anymore, but looking back, it's a solid movie for the nostalgic memory. Short but sweet! Recommended!

An absolute classic
This film holds up as well as it did when I was a kid. It is a prime example of doing justice to a TV series when bringing it to cinema.
