I sort of enjoyed the Rugrats movie, but this is better. It is sweeter and funnier, and is consequently very enjoyable. While there are some really sweet moments like Chuckie getting upset(that bit nearly made me cry) and some truly funny parts too, namely the priceless wedding scene at the end and the part when Betty sarcastically says while they are in Notre Dame "If you've seen one church, you've seen them all, wake me if you see a hunchback". The animation is bright and colourful, and the gorgeous Paris setting is used to very good effect. There is also a nice soundtrack and great voice work from Christine Cavanaugh, Tara Strong, Elizabeth Daily and Cheryl Chase. Susan Sarandon was also wonderful as Coco. While well written and funny, plus the Reptar was cool, this film is not a masterpiece, it is too short, and some of the secondary characters needed more development. I loved the references to the Godfather, Hunchback of Notre Dame, Godzilla and King Kong, they were hilarious, and I think adults will find some enjoyment too with the well scripted lines and the frequent references to various film favourites. In conclusion, funny, sweet, colourful and enjoyable. 8/10 Bethany Cox

This is film sequel to the first film based on the second longest running cartoon on TV (longest running is obviously The Simpsons). Basically best talking baby friends Tommy (Elizabeth Daily), Chuckie (Christine Cavanaugh), twins Phil and Lil, and mean Angelica (Cheryl Chase) this time are going to Paris when Tommy's Dad, Stu, is summoned to the region's theme park, Reptarland, to work on his new invention. Along the way the kids see the blossoming romance between Chuckie's Dad, and secretary Kira Watanabe (Julia Kato), who works for the horrible Coco LaBouche (Susan Sarandon). Also starring Casem Kasem as the wedding DJ, Debbie Reynolds as Lulu Pickles, John Lithgow as Jean-Claude, Tim Curry as Sumo Swinger, Billy West as another Sumo Singer and Dan Castellaneta as Priest. Good for kids, and adults will like some of it too. Worth watching!

Great joke for the adults!The movie starts with the wedding of Grandpa Pickles and has Angelica as 'Godmother' receiving visitors 'in the occasion of her grandfather's wedding. Dil and Lil found the head of a hobby horse in their crib and Chuckie asked for a new Mommy.All the rugrats travel to Paris to EuroReptarland and Angelica almost sets Chuckie's Dad up with childhating Coco who wants to make her retiring boss think she likes children so she can take over Reptar Inc. Along the way we meet Coco's assistant, Kira (and 3 year old daughter Kimi) who help the rugrats crash Coco and Chaz's wedding in a giant Reptar robot.The movie ends with the wedding of Chuckie's dad, Chaz, and his new mommy Kira (and a new sister Kimi. Chuckie is receiving Angelica's visit 'on the occasion of his father's wedding' with Kimi warning Angelica to not disrespect him.

Very good animated comedy. And true to the TV series, out of the mouths of babes comes potty talk and there is always the heavy helping of potty humor. The Pickle clan along with Chuckie Finster and his widowed father find themselves at a Japanese theme-park in Paris where the greedy proprietor Coco LaBouche(Susan Sarandon) tries to force Mr. Finster into marriage. Chuckie interrupts the wedding at the appropriate time by uttering his first word(understood by adults)...NO! But that doesn't mean romance is dead. All is well that ends well. The Rugrats' appeal seems to still be snowballing. This flick has what it takes to please everyone in between the younger diaper set to the older diaper set! Forget about your troubles for just a little while and find the humor in the messes these toddlers and crawlers get into.Christine Cavanaugh is the voice of Chuckie. Cheryl Chase gives voice to the group's brat Angelica. Sarandon is not exactly in her element with the French accent. Some other voices you may or may not recognize are that of: John Lithgow, Melanie Chartoff, Casey Kasem and Debbie Reynolds.
