Summary: Adorable and a Great Way to Discuss Difficult Topics!
Review: I thought this movie was going to be another ordinary cutesy cartoon video. Boy, was I wrong. I first like how the rugrats mess up the words. It also made me cry when Chuckie who has no mom had to sit out the for a dance. This was his one wish. Angelica is more than horrible in this movie. I was hoping that she would be left in Paris forever. How the kids dealt with it was wonderful. I will not ruin the movie but recommend it for adults too. The topics that are talked about in this movie inclued: death of a parent, wishing for a replacement, dating, traveling, and worried about a new mom or dad. These are some to name a few. I was able to talk about death with my son comfortably. Now, he wants to go to Paris and see Raptor!

Summary: Better than the first one at least!!
Review: This movie was kind of dissapointing to me. It gives kids with divorced parents, or with one parent dead the TOTALLY wrong message. In this movie Chuckie gets a new mom. In real life that usually doesn't happen. I mean, just think of it, some little kid watches this movie, and then while trying to find a new parent realizes that he just isn't going to have a mom and a dad. How depressing. I do have to say some good things about this movie though. It was quite commical and Phil and Lil are very entertaining. I think it was better than the first movie, but still just wasn't very good. I reccomend another movie, like Bambi or something more realistic, haha, just kidding. I do like Bambi though, but thats just me.

Summary: Oh Angelica, What Have You Done ... Again? An Enjoyable Trip
Review: Now I remember watching the first "Rugrats" movie in almost empty theater, which went totally ignored in Japan, where Nickleodeon's original famous, long-cherished TV series is virtually unknown among Japanese anime productons. And this second theatrical offering, after that result, went as a consequence almost unnoticed, given only a very limited theatrical release (and Japanese-dubbed version only). So, I bought a copy at Amazon, just to listen to the original cast's voice. Yes, no one can reproduce the voice of wickedly funny Angelica.

The second movie "Rugrats in Paris" turned out better than I expected, and probably the first thetrical one. Adults, let me give you good news, there are less toilet humors that is one of the characteristics of the series. Well, still there is, but thanks to the producers' wise decision, the focus is given to Chuckie, (comparatively) elder member of the baby gang that go to Paris with a reason so far-fetched that you might as well forget at all. Anyway, the point is, the kids in dipers go to an amusement park in Paris, managed single-handedly by a mean, greedy woman Coco (imagine Cruela of "101" with-French accent, voiced by Susan Sarandon) Apparently in the name of love for kids (but with her own hidden agenda), she swears that she is going to marry Chuckie's dad, but before that, her amusement park, and inevitably the city of Paris also has to suffer the greatest wreck since the time of "Armaggedon."

The story is nothing but an excuse for those kids' wracky gags, and sometimes the film, even for its short running time, looks as if padded out. Still, the film goes smoothly (more smoothly than the previous film) and by giving (again comparatively) elder characters more time for spotlight, the film avoids being filled with gross-out laughs though, obviously for younger audience, they are still retained. One of my favorite moments of the film is when deliciously mean child-devil Angelica reflects: "Sometime I can't help myself." Yeah, that's why you are so lovely.

The only complaint from Japanese audience is that the film, intentionally or not, seems as if confusing Japan and China. Though names like Tanaka or Yamaguchi are obviously Japanese ones (and Mako, born in Kobe provides for the former), their costumes and manners rather belong to Chinese tradition -- for instance, dragons or gongs -- and this kind of confusion might explain the lukewarm reception on the side of Japanese distributors. As a matter of fact, the people in both countries are getting too much weary of this kind of mistakes.

These things aside, the film lives up to our standard of animated film today, and if nothing special, "Rugrats in Paris" gives you an enjoyable trip to fantasy world with those noisy but lovely child gang from Nickelodeon.

Summary: Its OK
Review: This is a cute movie,but not the greatest!The plot is nothing new but it does sort of have a rugrat twist that makes it a little different.Kimmi is very cute and different from the rest of the babys.Some of the movie parts are sad though.The music throughout the movie is not that good but some of the lyrics are.SO BOTTOM LINE ITS OK

Summary: Good for little kids!
Review: This movie has a very "young" sense of humor. It is not worth purchaing and if you don't have a young child than it isn't even worth renting. This show in general has no particular morals it may even lead to the child thinking that adults are idiots and have the right to be fresh. Thank you for reading!

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: GOOD BUT NOT THE BEST
Review: THIS MOVIE WAS GOOD. IT WAS JUST TOO UNREAL THOUGH. TOWARDS THE END THE BABIES ARE DRIVING A HUGE DINOSAUR DOWN THE STREET. I LIKE THE RUGRATS BUT IT WAS JUST TOO UNREAL. I THINK WHEN A GOOD SHOW TRIES TO MAKE A GOOD MOVIE IT USUALLY ISN'T A GOOD MOVIE. I THINK WHAT THEY SHOULD DO IS JUST RELEASE THE COMPLETE 10 SEASONS OF THE RUGRATS ON DVD. THAT IDEA WOULD MAKE PLENTY OF MONEY SO THEY CAN HIRE A BETTER STORY WRITER. I DID LIKE THE RUGRATS ALL GROWED UP SPECIAL THOUGH, AND ACORN NUTS AND DIAPEY BUTTS.
