Movie version of the popular Nickelodeon animated show:
One-year-old Tommy, with his friends Chuckie, Phil and Lil and his older cousin Angelica,
get lost in a forest while trying to retrieve Tommy's newborn brother Dil. With the voices
of Elizabeth Daily, Christine Cavanaugh, Kath Soucie and Cheryl Chase. [1:19]
SEX/NUDITY 2 - We see a bare cartoon behind. There are many references to
pregnancy and birth, as well as a few implied references to private parts, circumcision
and umbilical cords. Newborns create a fountain of urine as they simultaneously urinate
out of their cribs (we only see the stream of urine). A pregnant woman gets ready to give
birth.
VIOLENCE/GORE 4 - There are several quite tense scenes as the toddlers get
lost in a dark and threatening forest. A long sequence inspired by the opening scene of
the " Raiders of the Lost Ark" shows the Rugrats go through a tunnel while a
boulder is speeding towards them; then they jump over a ravine. In another scene they sit
in a toy car while it speeds down a hill and almost over a cliff, then falls into a river
and almost goes down a waterfall. One of the toddlers falls into a river and another hangs
onto a rickety bridge. Several scary looking circus monkeys surround and taunt the
toddlers and kidnap one of them. A very scary wolf threatens the toddlers and fights a
dog; both fall into a river. Kids fight over toys and one kid throws up.
PROFANITY 2 - A lot of mild scatological humor, some strictly kiddie
scatological and anatomical references, several insults. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Pregnancy and birth, new siblings, senility, different
lifestyles, professional success.
MESSAGE - Kids are resourceful. Dormant older adults do not make good
baby-sitters.

A CAVEAT: We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and some of our early standards were not as stringent as they are now. We therefore need to revisit many older reviews, especially those written prior to 1998 or so; please keep this in mind if you're consulting a review from that period. While we plan to revisit and correct older reviews our resources are limited and it is a slow, time-consuming process. |
