The Rugrats and family become stranded on an island after Stu (Voiced by Jack Riley) promises his family and friends a wonderful vacation but instant he rented an old boat ship instead going on a cruise ship. Tommy (Voiced by Elizabeth Daily), Chuckie (Voiced by Nancy Cartwright), Phil & Lil (Voiced both by Kath Soucie), Susie (Voiced by Cree Summer) and Dil (Voiced by Tara Strong) wander off to the jungle. Spike (Voiced by Bruce Willis) loses his sense of small due to sneezing.Angelica (Voiced by Cheryl Chase) meets an equally but older bratty teen by the name of Debbie Thornberry (Voiced by Danielle Harris). When a doted leopard named Siri (Voiced by Chrissie Hynde) goes after the babies. But an intelligent little girl by the name of Eliza Thornberry (Voiced by Lacey Chabert), who can talk to the animals will try to find the babies before Siri does and adventurer Nigel Thornberry (Voiced by Tim Curry) becomes amnesic after finding the babies and the situation doesn't go well for the Pickles, The Finster's, Thornberry's and De Ville's family.Directed by John Eng and Edmund Fong made an amusing family animated film that is an improvement (For some fans) over the second "Rugrats" film. This is the last film for the "Rugrats" teamed with the equally popular "The Wild Thornberrys" T.V. Series. The film's chief novelty is Willis providing the voice of Spike the Dog, who normally doesn't talk. This film is basically hybrid of the two popular animated T.V. Series. This film wasn't a big hit at the Box Office like the previous two "Rugrats" films. Still, it is worth a look for fans of these two televisions series mixed into one movie. Digital Widescreen. (*** ½/*****).

Angellica really lets herself go and gets what she deserves: Getting left behind. The cute and adorable kids meet a travelling family. The film lacks creativity, and has musical numbers. Spoofs galore, along with certain jokes and gags courtesy of our funny kids Phil and Donnie. Bruce Willis voices Spike. Didn't Spike speak in a classic episode of RUGRATS (circa. 1991), where Chuckie is dreaming and is trying to defrenciate the lines of fantasy and reality? SURVIVOR, and GILLIGAN'S ISLAND gets spoofed. The only good part is the giant squid. Angellica meets someone with the same personality and someone to relate to (i.e. Debbie) and Chuckie meets someone that looks kind of peculiar (i.e. Donnie). Poor old Stu get verbally belittled by his friends that what he did was a big mistake! A small ship instead of a cruise ship. The film was released on Friday the 13th. So it could blend in with that troublesome event. Unfortunately, Ebert and Roper gave it two thumbs down. Hey it was good. It was better than the previous two film I commented on at the old domain called Matthew. There are morals in this picture, No one likes a bossy, stuck up person. And family time good, work bad. First the woods, then Paris, then an island, and what next, outer space? What will happen there, the kids in there all grown up form will be in space to avoid Angellica and meet friendly, weird, amazing, and funny aliens? Hope not. Let this be the last RUGRATS film. And what will become of THE WILD THORNBERRYS, they will go into an adventure that references such films as THE LOST WORLD, or JOURNEY TO THE BEGINNING OF TIME? Only time will tell, my friend, only time will tell.

The end credits for "Rugrats Go Wild!" include a section headed "Klasky Csupo Accounting," which unfortunately figures; this third theatrical outing for the Rugrats and second one for the Wild Thornberrys plays more like a marketing exercise than an actual movie.With this big-screen crossover of two TV shows, you'd think that they'd both get equal time, but due to their show having been more successful and having their full name in the title (it was originally called "Rugrats Meet The Wild Thornberrys" before someone decided that was too obvious), Tommy, Chucky and the rest get more time on screen than the far more appealing Eliza Thornberry and Co; it's not until near the end that they're on anything like equal footing, and by then the movie's been sabotaged by a plot that's too skimpy for words (the Pickles, Finster and DeVille families - plus Susie - get stranded on the same island that the Thornberrys have pitched up on for their latest jaunt, and cue much running around and shrieking), an ounce of actual amusement amongst a ton of shrill and strained gags, too many characters squeezed into too little time, and far too many songs, pop or otherwise (Chrissie Hynde. Why?).Having Bruce Willis do the voice of Spike doesn't help much, and neither does including some of the most heavy-handed movie references this side of a Leslie Nielsen comedy. In fact, the movie officially becomes a waste of time when their boat capsizes and it turns into a mini-homage to "The Poseidon Adventure," capped by Angelica singing "The Morning After" in her toy karaoke machine. (If only she had been the character played by Stella Stevens.) But even that's more forgiveable than having Stu say "I can't help feeling partially responsible." Stealing lines from "The Simpsons" is the final insult... Eliza's older sister and Betty DeVille are the only ones to emerge intact. Note to Paramount: ENOUGH ALREADY!

I don't see why people aren't enjoying this. I mean come on... 4.3 out of 10? That's a little harsh. This was an enjoyable ride and equel to the first movie and the sequel to it.In this 3rd rugrats movie, all the rugrats and their families plan to go on a cruise, but end up on a deserted island were they meet the wild thornberries.Ignore all the negative reviews. This is a sure family favorite and kids who like the show will highly relish this funny Rugrats movie!RUGRATS GO WILD!: 7 out of 10PG; mild crude humor.
