I was sheltered as a kid and could not see this movie. I did not see why, it was Rated G. Toy Story is G. Lion King is G. Jonah: A Veggie Tales Movie is G. I saw this when I was 15 and wondered-how is THIS G? There is a song where newly born babies pee everywhere. One asks, "Hey, they cut my cord!" Another, looking down their diaper, responds "Consider yourself lucky." Wow. Circumcision in a kids movie. One baby pulls down their diaper, to which the others shriek in horror. This was a cute movie, but how did these scenes make it past the MPAA as G? And now every innocent kids movie gets a PG rating! I'm kind of glad I was not allowed to see this, there are better things to enrich a kid's mind. Have you seen the aforementioned Jonah?

The Rugrats Movie (1998): Dir: Igor Kovalyov, Norton Virgien / Voices: E.G. Daily, Cheryl Chase, Christine Cavanaugh, Jack Riley, Tara Strong: Aimed more at children than Beavis and Butt-Head but every bit as hideous in the animated department. The Rugrat children are perhaps too exaggerated especially when factoring that children would never survive out in the wilderness by themselves. Of course this is a silly and stupid cartoon not to be taken seriously. These kids venture into the wilderness in a toy one of the fathers invented. There is a birth in the family so older brother feels that he must look out for new born. Hideous animation is all very corny and serves no purpose other than to place a pathetic cartoon on a movie screen. Directed by Igor Kovalyov and Norton Virgien as if two people creating a piece of junk would be more impressive. Voices by E.G. Daily, Cheryl Chase, Christine Cavanaugh, and Jack Riley among others. They all seem to make it their priority to talk down to any adult who must witness the shame with their kids. The popularity of the animated TV show is a mystery to me but I am unable to suspend imagination when it comes to children having more brains than their parents. This film should be shoved down a paper shredder to see if it becomes something more interesting than the trash it originally was. Score: 0 / 10

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"

First the movie didn't make any sense to me when I was 8 years old, it was just to weird at first, is very odd. I have seen it 4 times, 3 times on TV, when Nickelodeon put on the air in summer 2004, once in a movie tape. Now I'm 19 years old, watch it again because nothing good to watch on TV, this time I was touch by it, now I really know what happen, in some parts of the movie I amazed, cried and full of joy. Tommy and his friends have trouble will Dil, Phil and Lil wants to take Dil back to Hospital. When Didi and Stu (Tommy and Dil parents) sing to Dil and poor old Tommy sitting in a closet door sing "Baby Dil..." something like that and it hit me. My eyes where tearing up, I try to fight it but fail, can't resist it. One part where Tommy found Dil with some circus monkey, later Dil didn't care about Tommy, takes the blanket to himself, later Tommy and Dil fighting for Bananas food (Baby food that is) Tommy said "You want bananers I'll give you bananers, you'll have a mommy monkey and a monkey daddy and a monkey brother..." Tommy was about to pour the baby food to Dil, monkey running away, and there it goes, the reflection by the water show Tommy's reaction (sadness) that part make me have even more tears. It was the best movie ever, I don't even mind buying or watching again over and over. I can't wait to watch RUGRATS IN Paris- MOVIE and the 3rd one too. I say these movies are a MUST SEE MOVIE if you know the story and the feelings of these babies going though.
