Reviews for The Rugrats Movie
Intermittently snappy and featuring slicker animation than its TV incarnation, this popular children's cartoon may satisfy its youngest fans, but it'll be a big snoozefest for the rest of the family.

Makes little effort to reach beyond its target audience.

Top CriticA host of cooler-than-cool voices/cameos (Reed, Anderson, Curry and the B52s) and throwaway humour do keep the adults happy the whole time.
05/20/08
Fun for kids, but, despite some adult references, appeal for the over 10s is limited.

The dialogue reproduces infantile idiom even as it parodies the baby talk of adults, and a touching, didactic scene involving a baby blanket that's become the object of sibling rivalry may appeal to a broad age range.

Top CriticThose unfamiliar with the series will have a chance to marvel at Klasky and Csupo's refreshing innovations: their affectionate play with traditional presentations of 'sweet' baby behaviour and 'pretty' toddler looks.

Like many children's films, The Rugrats Movie is told from the point of view of a boy who enjoys a wonderful relationship with another boy.

Although it works on two levels, one thing makes it work for any age: the sense of the id unloosed.

The cast is good, but it's nothing they haven't done a million times; the same goes for the animation, music, and general production design.

The result is a happy blend of smart-aleck humor and wacky adventure.
