Review of The Rugrats Movie (1998) by Clint P — 19 Dec 2018

I don't wish to write ill about a movie which is primarily geared towards small kids but this isn't that good a movie at all. Parents who bring their young offspring to The Rugrats Movie will likely find that the children appreciate what the film has to offer.

However, with the high level of quality available in several other current family productions (Antz, The Wizard of Oz, and the soon-to-be-released A Bug's Life), one wonders why someone would choose The Rugrats Movie.

The film isn't unwatchable, but these tiny cartoon characters belong where they were born: on a television set, where a discriminating viewer can use the remote control to banish them. The film is basically an extended version of an episode of the TV series, with only slightly elevated production values.

If your age is under 10, this is all probably engaging, if not I suggest you give this film a pass.(Strictly for under 10 only).
