Spoilers for the first five seasons of Rugrats will be left unmarked.The Rugrats Movie, as the title says, is the first of three films based on the Klasky-Csupo-produced Nickelodeon cartoon Rugrats. It is directed by Norton Virgien and Igor Kovalyov, with a script by David N. Weiss and J. David Stem. Released on November 20, 1998, it was the third theatrical film released by Nickelodeon Movies as well as their first animated one and second one based on one of their television series, the first being Good Burger. It was also a huge Western Animation milestone, becoming the first non-Disney animated feature to gross over $100 million in the United States (though not the first to do so worldwide — that was Antz), despite earning mixed critical reviews. The film was also the highest grossing movie based on an animated series until it was broken by Pokémon: The First Movie in 1999 and later The Simpsons Movie in 2007.Taking place between the show's fifth and sixth seasons, the plot concerns the Rugrats having to deal with an unhappy amount of changes that have come as a result of the birth of Tommy Pickles's (E.G. Daily) new baby brother, Dil (Tara Strong), who's unable to speak. Tommy feels he's being neglected by his parents Stu (Jack Riley) and Didi (Melanie Chartoff) in favor of Dil, and Chuckie Finster (Christine Cavanaugh), Angelica Pickles (Cheryl Chase) and Phil and Lil DeVille (Kath Soucie) dislike Dil. Things get worse when the babies get stranded in a mysterious territory named Skull Territory with Stu's new toy, the Reptar Wagon (Busta Rhymes), being pursed by a Vasto Wolf and a bunch of monkeys who've escaped from a traveling circus. Will the babies learn to cope with Dil and make it back home?The film also stars the voices of Tim Curry as news reporter Rex Pester; Margaret Cho as Lt. Klavin; and Whoopi Goldberg and David Spade as forest rangers Margaret and Frank.See also Rugrats in Paris and Rugrats Go Wild! for the sequels. | |

Tempting Fate | |
The Rugrats Movie / int_15b2cab3 | comment |
Tempting Fate: Didi scoffs at the idea of Infant Sibling Jealousy, which everyone warns her will be double if the new baby is a boy. When Tommy and Dil meet, there's a moment of shared awe at each other. Didi insists "they already love each other!" Moments later, Dil grabs Tommy's nose, which startles him. Tommy bursting into tears startles Dil, who also bursts into tears. This leads Betty to laughingly remark: "Well, that's a start." When Angelica comes across the wrecked circus train in the woods, she says to Spike (who's pulling her along by his leash), "Dumb dog! There's no babies around here!", right before Chuckie almost runs into her. After Angelica hitches a ride on the Reptar Wagon, she begins berating the babies for almost leaving her behind... seconds before the Wagon gets caught on a hole in the bridge, almost launching her off the bridge in the process. | |

The Rugrats Movie / int_1a3a91dd | comment |
Say My Name: Angela shouts "Cynthia!" a few times. A standout example is when she realises her Cynthia doll is missing (because Dil has her and Angelica failed to ger her back), and it's accompanied by the camera zooming out and panning across town to where Cynthia is (in Dil's hand as the Reptar Wagon tears through the streets). The babies all shout "Spike!" in horror when they realise Spike is about to fall off the bridge with the V-Wolf as same in Rugrats: Legend of the Reptar when the Reptar truck and the other Reptar truck was about to be sent over the cliff | |

Just Train Wrong | |
The Rugrats Movie / int_1fb947b6 | comment |
Just Train Wrong: You can't just stop a freight train at a station for a coffee break like it's a car at a rest stop. Also why is there a 19th century steam train operating in the late 90's? While circus trains still exist today, they use modern locomotives and rolling stock and the train operators are not affiliated with the circus. There would also be numerous safety regulations that would not allow leaving a loaded and operational circus train unattended. | |

Stu as well, both behind the wheel of his car and when piloting his Dactar glider. Justified because of adult fear, he's looking for the babies and the rules of the road (and later the sky) are a lesser priority than finding the babies safe and sound. | |

Gross-Out Show: Dil poops in his diaper at one point while they’re lost in the woods and the other Rugrats are forced to change him, thankfully we don’t see anything. Dil pees on the other Rugrats as they attempt to change his diaper at one point. Or the "fountain" during the musical number. Rainbow at the end aside... Dil also vomits on Chuckie when the Reptar Wagon is tearing down the streets. | |

The Rugrats Movie / int_2f95aaf0 | comment |
Father's Quest: Stu builds the Reptar Wagon for a toy-building contest being held in Tokyo, in the hopes of winning the money to support his newborn son, Dil. When Phil and Lil see the Reptar Wagon, they try to use it to take Dil back to the hospital against Tommy's wishes, which is how they, along with Tommy and Chuckie, get lost in the forest. Stu believes that he accidentally sent the babies to Tokyo (due to the babies having played in the crate he was going to ship the Reptar Wagon in earlier), only to find out the goat is there instead. When he learns the babies are in the woods with the Reptar Wagon, he does everything he can to find them, including take to the skies on his Dactar glider. | |

Refuse to Rescue the Disliked | |
The Rugrats Movie / int_39d96ba9 | comment |
Refuse to Rescue the Disliked: Dil gets taken by a pack of runaway circus monkeys. Tommy sets off to rescue him, and asks Chuckie, Phil, and Lil if they're going to help him. Phil and Lil refuse, because they see Dil as nothing but a nuisance. Chuckie refuses to help Tommy by reminding him of all the times throughout the movie he didn't help him (because at those times, Dil needed his attention). This is repeated later in the movie, when Chuckie suffers a Heel Realization and insists they go back to help Tommy. Phil and Lil again refuse, reminding him he only cared about Dil's wellbeing rather than his. Chuckie makes the meek reasoning "Well somebody has to... don't they?". It seems to work. | |

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Angelica, sort of. Despite being mean to the babies and Spike, kicking the babies out the door in the wagon causing them to get lost, and attempting to track them down for inadvertently stealing her doll, she is very distraught to see Spike nearly taking his life to protect her and the babies from the wolf, even distracting the wolf when he almost kills Spike which helps him defeat the wolf, crying out of remorse for her previous behavior towards him and tearfully concurring to the babies' wish to the 'wizard' to bring Spike back. She is also relieved to see Spike alive along with the others. | |

Last-Minute Baby Naming | |
The Rugrats Movie / int_52c6a4d | comment |
Last-Minute Baby Naming: Justified in this case, as Stu and Didi were told they were having a girl and planned on naming her after Stu's mother. When Dil makes his appearance, they quickly rework the idea and name him after Didi's cousin. | |

Book Ends: The prologue and the epilogue feature an "Okeydokey Jones" game of pretend, though in the latter Dil makes an appearance, since Dil of course wasn't born until after the prologue. Incidentally, having Dil around is what allows their mission to succeed this time, unlike the prologue where the babies failed. | |

Infant Sibling Jealousy | |
The Rugrats Movie / int_56cdab49 | comment |
Didi scoffs at the idea of Infant Sibling Jealousy, which everyone warns her will be double if the new baby is a boy. When Tommy and Dil meet, there's a moment of shared awe at each other. Didi insists "they already love each other!" Moments later, Dil grabs Tommy's nose, which startles him. Tommy bursting into tears startles Dil, who also bursts into tears. This leads Betty to laughingly remark: "Well, that's a start." | |

Achievements in Ignorance: Tommy mistakes the pocket watch Stu gave him for a compass, but somehow manages to get some mileage out of using it as one. The babies head for what they believe is a "wizard's tower" but is actually the rangers' station, enabling the adults to find them. | |

Jerkass Has a Point | |
The Rugrats Movie / int_6b05b601 | comment |
Jerkass Has a Point: A few, in fact, involving a father and daughter. Drew had very legitimate points about his brother Stu's career choice. With no insurance, savings and is barely capable of supporting his family before Dil was born, he is merely trying to look out for his brother and his family. Not to mention, Stu's pigheaded attitude makes it seems like he isn't thinking about his family's future either and is banking too much on one gig to make ends meet. He was incredibly lucky he managed to get success by the time the next movie came along. During Angelica and Susie's fighting over singing the song at the baby shower, Angelica does raise some valid points that raising a child does come with difficulties like dealing with dirty diapers and constant screaming. | |

Missed Him by That Much | |
The Rugrats Movie / int_6e27397 | comment |
Missed Him by That Much: When Stu is speeding his car after Grandpa Lou lost the kids, he's right behind the mattress delivery truck that the babies are currently inside of. The truck door opens briefly, but Stu isn't watching the road at that moment, as he's talking to Grandpa. ("We'll never find the babies with this jerk in front of us!") Then the truck door closes shut just as Stu turns his attention back to the road. Then as Stu passes the truck, he inadvertently causes it to swerve and crash through the guard rail and plunge into the forest. Good thing the truck driver jumped out just in time and the truck was full of mattresses to protect the babies. While travelling through the forest, the babies barely just miss the rangers patrolling the area. Downplayed as they were heading towards the rangers hut anyway as they thought a wizard who could help them lives there. | |

Vile Villain, Saccharine Show: The biggest and deadliest threat the babies ever encounter comes in the hungry and Dead Serious form of Scar Snout, an evolved wolf. He is a very scary antagonist from a kid's cartoon franchise. He’s made even worse by the fact that this is a shared universe with The Wild Thornberrys where most animals are sapient and aware of humans. | |

Cool Car: The Reptar Wagon. Downplayed, it's still a children's toy that needs to be pushed to move, but it's a Not Zilla-shaped wagon that's very effective as an onroad and offroad vehicle, the arms can be extended to perform a swing-turn on a pole, becomes a boat with a propellor as "Aqua Reptar", deep-sounding voice clips via Stu's edited recordings, and prior to him removing them, mounted flamethrowers. | |

Given his falling asleep while watching the babies led to them ending up in the forest with the Reptar Wagon, it's only appropriate that The Stinger shows Grandpa sleeping in said wagon...only to them be bucked down the street in it by the goat. | |

Mistaken for Transformed: When the monkeys take the diaper bag, Tommy tries to get it back, leaving Chuckie, Phil, and Lil to look after Dil. The monkeys take Dil, and Chuckie, Phil, and Lil leave a baby monkey in Dil's place when Tommy returns. When Tommy sees the baby monkey, he thinks that Dil turned into a monkey, and decides to use the wizard's wish to turn Dil back into a human baby, at the risk of him and his friends still being lost in the forest. Lil and Chuckie spill the beans that the monkeys took Dil, so Tommy sets off to find him on his own, as Chuckie, Phil, and Lil all refuse to help him, the former two seeing Dil as a nuisance, and the latter reminding Tommy of all the times throughout the movie he didn't help him (because at those times, Dil needed his attention). | |

Never My Fault: It's quite clear that the entire mess is Grandpa Lou's fault, who once again fell asleep while watching the kids. Grandpa tells Didi that Stu lost the kids, but Didi doesn't buy it. They both call Grandpa out on this. Also the fact that the babies are lost in the woods is the twins' fault, as they tried to put Dil in the wagon against Tommy's wishes and Chuckie tried to talk them out of it, but they wouldn't listen. Tommy even calls the twins out on it, while Chuckie is just in the middle of the argument. | |

Foreshadowing | |
The Rugrats Movie / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: The monkeys that take over their owners' circus train and end up crashing it into the forest. The wolf that Spike pulls Angelica away from in the beginning returns to menace the kids later. The wolf itself is subtly foreshadowed by the remarks about Little Red Riding Hood by the babies when they first get lost. If you listen closely, when Angelica tells Spike to quiet down with the barking, you can hear "One Way or Another" playing on the TV. Angelica ends up singing her own version later during the storm. The argument between Stu and Drew when we first see them sets up the relationship that, at first, Tommy will have with Dil because of how the brothers (both Stu and Drew and Tommy and Dil) don't connect. When the Reptar Wagon is tearing down the neighborhood, it winds up in a playground, where it rides a ladder bridge like train tracks. It not only foreshadows the involvement of the monkey train, but also when the Wagon repeats this with real train tracks during the climax when the babies outrun the monkeys. When the wolf sneaks up on Angelica in the woods after her roller skate breaks, Spike pulls her out of the way just in time, saving her life. Spike goes on to save all the babies from the wolf in the climax (and even stops the wolf before it can bite Angelica again). | |

Post-Support Regret: Tommy prioritizes his Big Brother Instinct over his friends’ annoyance over Dil being The Load and an Annoying Younger Sibling, even leaving them when they refuse to help him rescue Dil from circus monkeys. When Dil is an Ungrateful Bastard who still hogs all of the resources and laughs at Tommy’s misfortune, Tommy snaps and declares that he was wrong to choose him over his friends and should have just let his friends get rid of him. | |

Hero Insurance: Nothing is said of the damage and destruction the babies cause riding in the Reptar Wagon. They cause at least two cars to crash (and the fate of the drivers is unknown), smash a stairway banister in the park, shatter a large amount of glassware from a moving truck, cause a big mess in a mattress factory, and smash a "DO NOT ENTER" sign into splinters, among the most notable destruction caused. | |

Predators Are Mean | |
The Rugrats Movie / int_ab497c22 | comment |
Predators Are Mean: Scar Snout the V-Wolf. The one trait that puts it more on the evil end of the scale is that it spends most of the movie specifically targeting the babies. During its fight with Spike in the climax, Angelica blows as raspberry at it and it actually takes notice of this, turns around and is ready to bring his jaws down on her, making this wolf seem exceptionally petty in addition to being mean. | |

Oh, Crap!: Stu and Grandpa when they first realize the babies are lost. Stu when Drew hears about the babies going missing, leading to Drew attacking him. The babies the second time they hear Scar Snout the wolf howl in the distance (the first time it happened, it looked like Tommy did it), and then again when he actually appears on the bridge. Spike has a moment of it earlier too when Scar Snout is behind Angelica and nearly eats her. | |

Big Damn Movie: The show never had the babies going on this kind of adventure.

The film, on the other hand, has them literally lost in the wilderness. | |

Screw This, I'm Outta Here: After Tommy finds out Dil was taken by the circus monkeys, Phil and Lil refuse to help Tommy find him and say that Tommy can find Dil on his own. Chuckie also refuses to help Tommy because of how Tommy has only looked out for Dil's wellbeing over his, so all three of them leave Tommy and Dil behind in the woods. Granted, it was Phil and Lil's fault in the first place they were stuck out there and karma does bite them back when Phil almost gets crushed by a falling tree, which drives Chuckie to get the twins to help him go back for them. The second time is Tommy's Heroic Breakdown where he decides to leave Dil with the monkeys after he finally reaches his Rage Breaking Point. Thankfully, he reconsiders and doesn't go through with it. | |

The Chew Toy: Rex Pester. Being an arrogant, nosy jerk reporter in a kids' cartoon, it is kind of expected. First, Stu accidentally slams into his helicopter while riding Dectar, ripping out the throttle and sending him crashing into the forest. He later reappears with an arm in a sling, pushing away another reporter already on the scene. He is promptly attacked by the monkeys who steal his toupee, with Betty cheering them on. For the babies, Angelica is the one who goes through the worst. She gets dragged around the woods by Spike (and the monkeys at one point), she almost gets killed by the wolf twice, she goes through the most Clothing Damage, and she flies into the air and gets dangled over a bridge by her detective outfit. | |

The other adults justify this as Stu should have known Lou was too incompetent to left alone with the kids in the first place (to Lou's indignance). A bit of karma might have hit him in The Stinger however, napping in the Reptar Wagon when it rolls away again. | |

Drives Like Crazy | |
The Rugrats Movie / int_f96f188c | comment |
Drives Like Crazy: The babies when driving the Reptar wagon through the streets and later through the forest. Having no knowledge of driving, this was inevitable. Stu as well, both behind the wheel of his car and when piloting his Dactar glider. Justified because of adult fear, he's looking for the babies and the rules of the road (and later the sky) are a lesser priority than finding the babies safe and sound. | |

Running Gag | |
The Rugrats Movie / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Aunt Miriam—Grandpa Lou's cousin—appears taking bets on how much the baby's gonna weigh and gets Didi's name wrong in a conversation as she did multiple times before in her eponymous episode. | |

My Little Panzer: Stu thought it was a good idea to install real flamethrowers on the Reptar Wagon. He only decides against it after he accidentally sets part of a wall and Grandpa Lou's shirt on fire while testing it. | |

Non-Malicious Monster: The monkeys, if the ending is any indication—in the end, they and the babies had the same end goal: To go find their family, in this case, the two circus ringleaders who raised them. | |
