Perfectly adorable

It is a performances centric movie

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

As a film of many genres, The Rugrats Movie seamlessly links many genres and aspects of film. It's not only a family friendly film, it is also a psychological thriller, a comedy and a musical. It contains drama and adventure and is not afraid to pull on the viewers heartstrings. The symbolism in this film is phenomenal, and the soundtrack is no less than a work of art; without going into detail its similar to something God himself would lead the people with. The animation is nothing short of majestic, its a timeless classic and will forever live on to be the best film our universe has ever seen. I feel privileged and honoured to be reviewing this masterpiece. To the creators, I applaud you. Simply amazing. - Elena

The first thing that should be clarified here in this movie is that "The Rugrats Movie" is by far the darkiest, slimiest and moodiest point of anything pertaining to Rugrats that was ever made. Seriously. At one point, Drew Pickles puts his brother Stu Pickles in a choke-hold at one point or another in the movie, blaming him for losing his daughter Angelica. There's definitely not that much humor to be have here in this movie. If you watch the cartoon, you'll know what I mean and that is definitely a turn off point for some and why "The Rugrats Movie" as a whole, received a polarizing response by critics.There are definitely some parts of the movie that drag on and on. The part where the babies get lost and stuck in the forest and wonder around aimlessly in hopes of getting back home, drag on WAY too long and Dil's overall presence in the movie is more irritating than it is pleasing to the typical viewer.Then again if you are someone who isn't a fan of Rugrats, you shouldn't even be watching this in the first place.I give the movie credit for taking a different direction and doing something it's not but, in 20/20 hindsight, it's not all perfect. The songs that the cast of the characters sing throughout the course of the movie are hit and miss. The best one was probably Angelica's take on Blondie's "One Way Or Another" hit song from the 80's.In all, I only recommend checking this movie out if you are a part of the Rugrats fan base. For everyone else, it's nothing special and you can safely skip it as there's better family movies out there.

The Rugrats movie was a disappointment. With such a successful show till that point, you would've expected the first Rugrats film to be a major hit but instead it was a major disappointment. The story is that a new member of the Pickles family was recently born called Dil and Tommy and his friends do not like him and decided to somehow send him back to the hospital by going out on a wild crazy adventure. Problem is that on the way to their journey, they get lost and are faced with a very difficult situation and want to return home but they are unsure how. Like I've said, the film was a let-down. The plot was very cheesy and the film was not really about the Rugrats but more about Tommy and his new 'annoying' brother. I was seven at the time when I watched this but even then you can instantly tell just how poor this film is and the Rugrats movie is nothing like we see in the Rugrats TV series prior to this film. Sure the film has some good parts but mostly it was pretty ordinary and dull which is a shame considering how successful its TV show is and this movie basically put a massive dent on its show. Fortunately, the following Rugrats films is somewhat better but even those films did not even live up to expectations. So if you asked me "Is it necessary and worth watching"? I will say NO! Like I've said, there are some parts that are good but overall the film is average or below. The sequels in my view are much better than this film. Ever since this film was made, the Rugrats as a whole has gone downhill and eventually everything was ended in 04.

A really good film, I thought, at the time, it was one of the best 'modern' cartoons, the digital effects were again very good. I admit I am rather biased as I was quite an avid Rugrats fan at the time, and still think there a really good small screen cartoon for both children and adults. Anyway, back onto the film, the soundtrack to the film was also quite good, with some up-and coming artists, some of whom who made it big afterwards, although some of the rap songs on it weren't my cup of tea! Overall I was really impressed, and although technology has since moved on it remains a good feature-length. I also thought the sequel, Rugrats in Paris was another good film, however I wasn't over-keen on the 'Wild Thornberries & Rugrats' mixture in the second sequel.Cheers, James
