Rugrats in Paris - The Movie description The second theatrical film from the popular television show is better than the original surprise hit. Instead of delving into their rich fantasy life, the Rugrats gang goes on a real adventure when their families visit Paris together. Mr. Pickles is brought over to fix his giant Reptar robot, the centerpiece of EuroReptarland (a biting version of the trouble-plagued EuroDisney). The underlying story has Chuckie (the one with the square glasses) looking for a new mommy, as his dad (who has a square personality) starts to fall for a villainous executive (voiced by Susan Sarandon). Soon Paris takes it on the chin as the diaper gang tries to save Chuckie's dad from the altar. The success of the Rugrats is in the writing, where much thought goes into finding comic gems for the adults (there are wonderful parodies of The Godfather and King Kong that will sail over kids' heads). The garble-mouthed youngsters keep up their joyful ways in this 78-minute feature that feels no different from their Nickelodeon series except in length, some 3-D animation sequences, and an eclectic song score (with Cyndi Lauper's "I Want a Mom That Will Last Forever" the real catch).

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Could've been better, but still an overall good movie |
| I, like most of the people commenting here, grew up watching Rugrats since it first came out on TV and I personally still like to watch it to this day as a closet hobbie of mine. That said, my feelings for this movie when I first watched it were good and bad, but overall positive.
To start with the turnoffs, I was surprised a G rated movie had things such as Tommy's diaper falling off and mooning everyone while dancing on top of the record player at his Grandpa's wedding, or Coco's wedding dress being ripped apart and exposing her underwear. I didn't think stuff like that needed to be in there and thought the movie was a little bit grosser than the potty humor found in the regular TV episodes. I also thought it was a bit of a stretch for the babies to be capable of operating the giant Reptar robot. Though I still was entertained by all the havoc it created by rampaging through town, I just couldn't see how a bunch of infants would be smart enough, let alone be big enough to control it. Sure the movie is made for kids, but even my younger siblings thought that was wierd and didn't make sense. Now for the good stuff. I thought Klasky Csupo did a good job of integrating pop culture parodies such as Lady and the Tramp, King Kong, and my favorite of all, The God Father. I couldn't stop laughing when I first saw Angelica appear as "The Bobfather" (and believe me she fits that role perfectly) or when Dil first drooled all over her hand. The pop culture parodies were one of the things that made the show great in the first place, and in my opinion the writers did a good job of inserting more of it into this movie. Coco Lebouche also made a pretty good villian. When you love to hate the bad guy in a movie you know they're good and I just loved her coniving manipulative personality. It's always fun to see those kind of villians get what they deserve at the end and she definately got hers (In fact I wish they had kept the alternate ending [one of the bonus features] in which she was stuck working at a deoderant factory and being grossed out by that low life job she was forced to work). Most importantly of all, this movie has a wonderful family values aspect to it. Chuckie is my favorite character, and I've always felt sorry for him in being the only baby in the group to not have a Mom. So to see him finally get a really good one in Kira Watanabe, as well as a new sister in Kimi was very touching to me. It's this kind of stuff that I wish more cartoons had these days. |
