Chuckie (Nancy Cartwright) and Tommy (Elizabeth Daily) find themselves stranded with their parents on a remote island. By coincidence, the adventurous Thornberrys are also exploring the island. So, with his talking dog, Spike (Bruce Willis), in tow, Tommy takes Chuckie on a walkabout meant to find Donnie Thornberry (Flea) and his sister, Eliza (Lacey Chabert). They'll need to be careful, though, as exotic leopard Siri (Chrissie Hynde) is hungry and not afraid to make her presence known.

Critics Consensus

The Rugrats franchise has gone from fresh to formulaic.

The worst thing about Rugrats Go Wild is that the Rugrats have dragged the Thornberrys down into the diaper bag with them.

Behind The Lens

Yes, there is some humor. Yes, there is some small amount of charm; most of it emanating from Eliza Thornberry. ... I think this Odorama experience should be reclassified as "Stinkarama." -- big time!

If you dismiss the flaws and pretty unimaginative plot line, you'll really have some fun with the film...

[T]his is more like a TV sweeps month stunt than the beginning of new chapter of Rugrats history.

Rated: 3/5

This movie is the best crossover movie ever made, especially when it's two popular Nickelodeon shows made by the same animation style, company and people, meeting each other who both shown to be in the same world. Definitely worth a watch!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

A movie thats filled with stupid gimmicks and a weak plot. The scratch and sniff cards you got from Burger King at the time did not add to the movie.

20 years old and this is a cute harmless Nickelodeon movie combing two popular properties The Rugrats return for their 3rd film adventure Tommy, Chuckie, Phil, Lil, Dil, Suzie, Kimi, and Angelica are excited to go on vacation with their parents on a luxury cruise Tommy in particular is a fan of Nigel Thornberry's wildlife tv program and dreams of becoming like him even though Angelica says it's impossible The cruise plan fails as Stu Pickles can only think of sailing everybody himself so he can keep everyone together so they're no distracted by the glamour of the cruise A storm hits and they become shipwrecked on a deserted island...or so they think It turns out Nigel Thornberry, his wife Delia, Donnie, Darwin, and their two daughters, Eliza and Debbie are on the island too They're busy finding a clouded leopard to film footage for The Foundation The Rugrats bump into Eliza and Debbie unexpectedly as they both figure out a way to survive The creators even break tradition by actually having Spike the dog talk! He's voiced by Bruce Willis It makes sense given Eliza's animal talking powers Yes the story isn't exactly fresh and it's been done before from Gilligans Island to Perfect Storm But the animation is very solid, the jokes are funny enough ranging from poo to wedgies to feet to nose bubbles, the soundtrack is cool, and this is a very decent crossover for fans Whichever show you prefer this does the job for both Sure it could be stronger ending both of these programs but hey it's for everyone

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars
