Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

StephenBurg The Rugrats Movie was the first theatrical film based on a Nicktoon and the first of three based on Rugrats. This movie seems very experimental. The test worked box-office wise and won admiration of some audience members, but not most critics. This movie is about Tommy's brother, Dil, getting born and the other babies don't like him, so they go on a musical adventure in the forest to find the hospital. Possibly the best scenes in the whole movie are when the idiotic news reporter (I read on IMDb that he's played Tim Curry)getting their names wrong, the Indiana Jones parody at the beginning, (though I think the Godfather parody was great and less obvious), Angelica singing a parody of "One Way or Another".There are several references to bathroom jokes and a few sexual innuendos. (It fits in with experimental: will adults like it with those innuendos?)If you like Rugrats, and you're given a choice of the three movies, think about it before pick this one. I would suggest you watch the second one. But if there's no choice, just pop this one in and watch.My rating: 6/10 Rated G

Cartoon King Taking place immediately after the "Rugrats" episode "The Family Tree" where Didi finds out she's pregnant. "The Rugrats Movie" is when Tommy's new sibling is finally born. The Rugrats are very excited about Tommy's new sister, but when the baby is finally born, it's a boy. Baby Dil practically does nothing, but cry, scream, and poop. Tommy thinks he can take him back to the hospital in exchange for a new baby brother, but soon they all get lost in the woods. This is their first time in actual danger, not just their imaginations.This is certainly not the best story for a movie, but it is okay. Baby Dil, however is very annoying. More-so in the later episodes of the show than this movie, because he constantly interrupts their adventures and makes every episode about baby-sitting Dil.While "The Rugrats Movie" is a decent film, it has flaws.It's starts the downfall of a once great cartoon show.Like in "Pokémon: The First Movie" this film tries a little bit too hard to be darker and more dramatic than the TV show it's based on.There are WAY too many jokes about poop, pee and other such gross things. I'm fine with crude humor when it's in small doses (like on "Rocko's Modern Life"), or when it's actually made funny (like on "The Ren & Stimpy Show"). But this movie (and the later episodes of the show) just over-do it.There are good things too though.I loved the opening sequence of the film.The animation is great, and perfect for the big screen.The voice acting is top-notch.Some parts were really funny. Like when they spoofed "Indiana Jones".Overall this is a decent and mildly entertaining film. But it's certainly not one of the greatest animated movies ever. There are better movies of animated TV shows ("The Simpsons Movie"; "The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie"; "Batman: Mask of the Phantasm"), but there are also worse ones ("Aqua Teen Hunger Force: Colon Film for Theaters"; "Pokémon: The First Movie"). Funny, nicely animated, good voice acting, but a little bit too much potty jokes, and it added a horrible character to a great TV show.Rating: 6/10 "Decent"

TheLittleSongbird The Rugrats Movie was enjoyable, not quite as good as Rugrats In Paris, but it is solid and colourful. Of course the film isn't without its flaws. The second half was rather loud for my liking, and while the story is simple, which is fine by me, there are bits where the film drags and it doesn't quite have the sense of fun that makes the show so enjoyable. That said though, the film is very, VERY cute and means well. While it is by all means a kids movie, there are a handful of laughs and references to other films for adults. I particularly loved Phil's "I didn't know she could fly"(in reference to Angelica) and Lil replies "I think it's because she's a witch." The animation is colourful and true to that of the show, and the soundtrack is great. The voice cast is especially strong, with Tara Strong, EG Daily and Christine Cavanaugh as standouts. Though as much as it pains me to say this, great actors like Whoopi Goldberg and Tim Curry have very little to do, and did disappoint. Overall, it's a decent movie, it is colourful cute and fun, but does have a tendency to drag and a bit loud in places. 7/10 Bethany Cox

Electrified_Voltage "Rugrats", a Nickelodeon show which ran from 1991-2004, is said to currently be the second longest running cartoon series in television history, with only "The Simpsons" ahead of it. Personally, I can recall watching some episodes of the show when I was around ten years old (the show had been running for a few years by then), and never exactly got hooked, but I think I found it mildly amusing at the time. It has been a long time since then, but I recently watched "The Rugrats Movie". Knowing it was more for kids, I wasn't expecting to like it a lot, but thought I might still get SOMETHING out of it, which didn't happen.Tommy's life changes when he gets a new baby brother named Dil. After the birth of his new sibling, Tommy finds that he isn't getting very much attention anymore, has more responsibility, and Dil seems to be spoiling his fun. Stu has recently invented a small vehicle called the "Reptar Wagon." The Rugrats gang believe that Dil should be taken back to the hospital, so they manage to sneak out of the house and set out on a trip in the Reptar Wagon, taking Dil with them. However, while on the trip, the toddlers don't make it to their destination. Instead, they find themselves lost in the forest with Tommy's newborn brother, where danger awaits them! Since I didn't watch the TV show a lot during my childhood, I barely became familiar with the characters, and when I watched this movie, I couldn't remember any of their names. Consequently, around the beginning, I found the movie a tad hard to follow. (Anyone else who is not that familiar with the show but is planning to watch this movie, I feel I should warn you about that.) In addition to that, I found the story very boring, and a couple gags early on in film may have made me smile or snicker, but for the rest of it, I didn't find any of the gags the least bit amusing. I may have even found some of the excretion gags somewhat annoying. I'm not even sure if my 4/10 rating is enough to tell you how much I disliked this movie. However, I'm sure I would have thought differently of "The Rugrats Movie" many years ago.Now, obviously not EVERYONE whose childhood has passed them by would think the same of this movie as I did. I suppose you could find SOME fun in it. However, it's certainly not for just anyone who likes animated family movies. While it may not be strictly for kids, it definitely has more for them than it does for anybody else. Regardless of your age, it also might help if you're a big fan of the TV show, which means you're familiar with the main characters and their traits. However, it appears that even some fans of the show have been disappointed by this movie, so even being a fan doesn't guarantee that you would like it, though it's probably worth a try. I wouldn't expect this movie to be a family masterpiece, but I'm sure many kids would like it, and probably certain people in other age groups as well, even though it didn't do anything for me.
