This movie was officially released in 2000. I first saw it in 2003- 2004, when I was only a young child. I enjoyed it a lot but since I was so young I couldn't remember anything from it, until i watched it again a few years later in 2009, and it brought me back to it. I've been watching Rugrats since I was 2 so I grew to love this movie. I watched it again a few weeks ago, and I cried so much. The scene at the start of the movie when Chuckie had to stand out from a mother-and-child dance because he had no mother of his own (and the lovely song "When You Love" playing in the background) literally had me in tears. Even more so the scene on the plane, with the song "I Want A Mom That'll Last Forever" playing whilst Chuckie is looking out the plane window, sad and lonely about having no mother when he sees a picture of his late mother and him in a cloud. That scene hit me even more.The movie in general though, is extremely entertaining, cute, beautiful, well written, and in some cases funny. It is definitely one of my favourite movies and I recommend it to anyone who is a hardcore Rugrats fan from any time of their life. It is also a fantastic family film. However, the two sad Chuckie-mom scenes will always make me cry, no matter how old. I have to say that watching this film for the third time in December 2015 was really a great feeling. It brought me back to my Rugrats filled childhood and it felt sweet and happy at the same time.Personal rating: 10/10. An absolutely brilliant film. I love it. After 15 years of its release, they definitely need to show this movie on Nickelodeon or something again. It will definitely bring back the nostalgia that either 90's kids or Nick/Rugrats fans dream of. And I'm not even a 90's kid, and I still love this movie! It's because, like I said before, my love for the Rugrats. :)

The Rugrats in Paris: The Movie (2000): Dir: Stig Beggvist, Paul Demeyer / Voices: Susan Sarandon, John Lithgow, Tim Curry, Debbie Reynolds, Jack Riley: Surprisingly better than the original film while still being mediocre. This is an exaggerated paradise when factoring the Rugrats venturing to Paris but the animation itself is still pretty bad. One of the fathers must travel to France to repair a mechanical dinosaur and his friends gather up their babies and join. The villainess must get married in order to seal a theme park ownership deal. The rest is formula yet may appeal to children. Directed by Stig Beggvist and Paul Demeyer who can be credited for the broader plot but it is the villainess voiced by Susan Sarandon who steals the film. She attempts to con her way into a relationship for her own personal gain and is brought down by these juveniles. John Lithgow voices the thankless role of henchman who is out to botch the Rugrats under the villain's orders. Tim Curry and Debbie Reynolds are among the talented voice talents voicing cardboard characters. It is practically a given that one's career is in shambles when it comes down to lending your voice to this. There is a parental theme that somewhat works but adults will prefer that this idiocy remain in Paris. It is pretty much toned down to a child's understanding and that isn't totally complimentary. Score: 4 / 10

I first saw this film at the cinema in 2001 with my sister and a volunteer/social worker and we all found it enjoyable. Later that year I received the VHS for Christmas (which I still have to this day) and I was happy that it included two bonus features at the end; the music video for the Baha Men's 'Who Let the Dogs Out? (the most memorable pop song in the film itself)' and behind the scenes footage.Back to the film. The animation is more fluid and detailed than that in the television series while the backgrounds for Euroreptarland are vibrant and imaginative. A lot of the dialogue is pretty memorable with some funny and clever lines, particularly from the Rugrats themselves (such as Dil saying "Wee wee/Oui oui" as he wets himself and Angelica saying he's speaking French already) and some pop culture references that I didn't pick up until my most recent viewing today. The characters from the original series and 'The Rugrats Movie' are their usual selves while Chuckie brings out his brave side towards the end, and although Susie (who I think should have gone to Paris since she didn't join the other Rugrats on their adventure in the first film) and Kimi (who is new in this film and pleasingly appeared in 'Rugrats' episodes following this film) got the least screen time. While the story was weak in places, I liked the main plot of Stu being sent to Euroreptarland to fix a giant robotic Reptar and the subplot of Chuckie longing for a new mother. The incidental music is mostly grand and cinematic with a couple of quirky spots that sound like the music used in the series; however while most pop songs were pleasant, funny and catchy, they weren't as memorable as the Baha Men's number, Geri Halliwell's version of 'These Boots Are Made For Walking,' and the rendition of 'Bad Girl' performed by Angelica and the sushi place staff. Another flaw was the second coating of slime on Angelica changing from purple to green during the climax. Flaws aside, another positive spot was the voice acting, particularly from the Rugrats and their parents. Debbie Reynolds was a pleasant surprise for Lulu while the French accents from Susan Sarandon and John Lithgow for Coco and Jean-Claude respectively were spot on.In spite of its problems, 'Rugrats in Paris' is fun to watch and brings back fond enough memories of watching the television series as a child and teenager. 8/10.

After a successful, entertaining Rugrats film I was expecting this one to be an interesting sequel. Think about it, most TV shows that are adapted to films are basically and more often than not just longer episodes. Some films like The Simpsons Movie, when thought about, could just be half and hour episodes. With the first Rugrats film it would have been next to impossible to chop it down to a half hour episode. With this one though, the babies (or rugrats) I was excited because I thought now their really changing it up. Way different, unexpected setting, a fine plot, this should be memorable and way more entertaining than the first. I was off.The plot is recycled and just modified to fit the characters. Stu Pickles gets a late night call from Paris to go to EuroReptarland, a theme park, to fix the broken Reptar mechanical robot. He brings Tommy, Chuckie, Phil, Lil, Angelica, the baby Dil, and all of their parents to have fun in Paris while Stu works. Soon and ironically, Coco LaBouche is looking to run EuroReptarland and must find someone with a "heart of a child". When Angellica overhears her talking about this, she comes up and tells her about Chuckie's lonely father, Chaz in exchange for her own princess float at EuroReptarland. So Coco is determined to win over Chaz.Not a bad plot, but it's not really unique in anyway. Is that the best they could do? Its better than if they recycled the babies getting lost like they did in the first. But still, that plot might have worked in a big city like Paris. I must also note Grandpa Pickles doesn't make an appearance at all in this movie, unless I missed him. I didn't recall him appearing once in this entire movie. I was disappointed because he was one of my favorite characters.In sequel terms, it's fine, but the first like 80% of the time, is better. The idea of the babies in Paris could've spawned numbers of ideas. The babies visiting the Eiffiel Tower, running ramped through the town, anything. But the idea they went with just didn't grab me in really at all. There were parts that the film felt original, fresh, and funny. But the comparison it has on the original film is small. Could Rugrats Go Wild be any better than this? Don't count on it.Starring: Elizabeth Daily, Tara Strong, Cheryl Chase, Christine Cavanaugh, Dionne Quan, and Kath Soucie. Directed by: Stig Bergqvist and Paul Demeyer.
