The Rugrats' leap from the small screen to the silver one is a nostalgia filled romp fest. Looking back this is a surprisingly dark movie filled with peril and innuendos. Honestly, it doesn't have the wow factor that the later installments had.

It's been 25 years since this movie came out and I remember loving this as an 8-year-old. I'm now 33 and watched it again after so long and honestly, this is a movie that is intended for kids. The jokes range from funny to bad. The songs range from catchy to cringey since there were a lot of them than I remembered. There are some heartfelt moments especially involving the moral of the story which kids should keep in mind when it comes to siblings, whether they're the oldest or the youngest. There's nothing to hate on this film at all, but a good laugh to think of something you grew up in the 90s being a good laugh while asking yourself what was silly and what you thought was funny as a kid but later you laugh at yourself for liking some things as an adult. Overall, this is an average movie that's targeting for little kids regardless of generation and if you grew up with the movie and the OG Rugrats like myself, I'm sure you'll have a good time with a little spark of nostalgia while laughing at what was good and what was bad. 6/10.

The result is several steps above the clunky, offputting animation of the series' early episodes.

TV Guide

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.
