an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

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?

This is a loud movie which was fun for about 40 minutes but then it just gets to be too much, too abrasive with the yelling. Do they think kids are hard-of-hearing? Are they trying to make kids deaf?Whatever. . I guess this is geared a lot more for young kids who are used to the TV blasting away at them. For me, that loudness is okay for awhile, but it gets tiresome. In fact, the simple storyline in here goes on for too long, too. This is an 81- minute film, which is not long, but would have been far better at no m ore than 70 minutes. An hour would have been just right.Still, on the plus side, there are plenty of interesting scenes, the colors are bright and visually attractive, the sound is very good and there are some decent subtleties as well as slapstick humor. There are things in here adults would enjoy.

I hate the rugrats. They're one of the worst cartoons I've ever seen. People don't even bother watching nickolodeon period. Nickolodeon used to be OK but they banned all the cool cartoons. And teen nick is as bad as nickolodeon it's self. Rugrats should finally die off. My two year old brother hates the rugrats. All the rugrats is, is a bunch of little kids exploring with there parents and they imagine stuff that isn't real. Come on Nickolodeon this is sad man. Well yeah words can not describe how bad this film is. But don't go experimenting and see how bad this film really is I barely made it through the film. And I used to be a nick fan but ever since they banned Ren & Stimpy I've hated Nickolodeon ever since.

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
