cinephile-27690 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?
Prophetik Tommy didn't have to do what he almost did to Dill & still to this day that sad scene still haunts me and im so angry. No little kid should have to feel that way about a cartoon
Steve Pulaski The Rugrats television series is almost twenty years old, which is surprising because when one watches the episodes of the TV series the color and overall look of the show looks like a 2000 television series. Enough with that, lets discuss the film. Its what every TV show movie adaptation is. Just an extended episode of the series. Though the sequel is something that is a step in the right direction to be different from the series. With this though, it's fitting to be a full length movie because to chop this down to a thirty minute film would be impossible. Though, this is a favorable TV show adaptation in many ways.The plot is basic, but may be complex to a kid age five or six who this is targeted for. Parents may need to explain somethings about babies after the hospital scene. Tommy, Chuckie, Phil, and Lil are our protagonists in this ride and Tommy's mother Didi is having a baby. When welcoming what was thought to be a baby girl, is now a baby boy. They go with the name Dillon Prescott Pickles and now Tommy has a baby brother.Instead of being a nice companion he becomes a big nightmare for the whole Pickles family because Dil will not stop crying. Both parents Didi and Stu are too focused on Dil to pay attention to Tommy which is how every family gets when a new child is born. Phil, Lil, and Chuckie get tired of the crying and put Dil in the new "Reptarmobile" which Tommy's dad made in an effort to take him back to the hospital because he's "broked". Tommy does the adult thing of trying to resist, but after some odd results, the four wind up lost in the forest with no one to help them.The movie gets heartbreaking in a few sequences and tends to squeeze a tear out of audiences. Some of the humor and references will possibly be way over young kids' heads which is basically how every kids' movie can be sometimes. Watching this for the first time in about eight years I pointed out a lot more and understood more and more of it. The question remains me for me which children's film do I like more; The Rugrats Movie or Hey Arnold: The Movie? I think Hey Arnold's film made a bit more sense than this, but still both are fine pieces of film.This was too Nickelodeon's film film to win a Nickelodeon Kids Choice Award which I think is pretty lame. I don't think the company's film deserved to win the company's award. Thats like me patting myself on the back and giving me $100,000 for my review and giving it a "best" award. But I guess on a certain level it makes the smallest amount of sense. Either way though, this film deserves it and is still widely enjoyed by audiences today.Starring: Elizabeth Daily, Christine Cavanaugh, Kath Soucie, Cheryl Chase, Cree Summer, Tara Strong, and Charlie Adler. Directed: Igor Kovalyov and Norton Virgien.
spamisnotfood In my town we have a 10am movie showing of G and PG movies during the summer months. Only costs a dollar for the kids and the adults are free. Thank GOD! Because I would have hated to spend any more money on this show. This movie, although rated G was NOT what I wanted my children (or the children of my friend who we went with.) to see. We are used to watching TV, but shows that are somewhat educational. This movie used the word "stupid" and "hate" (JUST the words I want my 3 and 4 year old s to use!)My daughter (3 yrs old) was scared of the wolf in the forest and the monkeys are mean, and the little girl in with the blond hair is just plain mean too. The movie was really a PG if you ask me. I thought the movie was worthless... although I giggled a few times(at the little cartoon kids vocabulary , but I started to fall asleep in the middle and wished I could but I had to cuddle w/ my daughter because she was frightened...(I didn't mind the cuddling.) If you don't mind rude kids and scary scenes then fine, but my vote is no.....We don't like sponge bob either, that was the other movie showing today. I really don't see how all these parents liked this movie for their children. My take of it is, kids learn to be smart mouthed and sarcastic soon enough, why push it on them at 3 and 4.
