What You Need To Know:
RUGRATS, Nickelodeon’s popular cartoon series about a group of adventurous babies, gets the silver screen treatment this Thanksgiving in THE RUGRATS MOVIE. Tommy, Chuckie and the gang get lost in the woods and must take care of Tommy’s new brother, Dylan, when a dinosaur toy goes haywire and a van crashes. The babies face a band of crazy monkeys, a thunderstorm and a scary, hungry wolf in this energy-packed adventure that is a little too frenetic for small children.
THE RUGRATS MOVIE is too fast-paced for very small children, but older children may enjoy the crazy journey the babies take. Much of the charm relies on the quirky voices of Tommy, Chuckie and the twins, voiced by E.G. Daily, Christine Cavanaugh and Kath Soucie. Although the movie fittingly has no foul language or sex in it, it does have discussions and references to babies messing their diapers, a scene where babies in a maternity ward urinate to form a rainbow in the air, and some moderate action and slapstick cartoon violence. Responsibility and love win out in the end, however, so there are some positive moral messages in the text of this enjoyable, colorful animated movie
