During the original theatrical run, an unfinished episode of Spongebob Squarepants would play before the films start, it was the episode Shanghaied and ended at a scene that would be determined almost a year later by fan votes, this version of the episode is somewhat infamous as being the original version which contained very frightening images; one scene showing the character Squidward falling through a skeleton themed background was so scary, that when it finally aired on television it was reanimated to be spaghetti instead.

Dionne Quan is legally blind - she has never actually seen what her character, Kimi, looks like.

Christine Cavanaugh's final movie role, as she retired from acting a year later.

Currently this is Susan Sarandon's first and only G-rated movie. All the other movies she has starred in have been rated PG or higher.

The film was originally intended to be more of a musical, similar to Rugrats - Der Film (1998). The Rugrats were set to sing "L' Chuckie Chan" and "Ooie Gooie World Theme" while Chuckie performed "I Want a Mom That Will Last Forever," though a much sillier version. While these songs remain in the film, they are performed by other artists, respectfully. Only two songs ("Bad Girls" and "Packin' to So") are still sung by the characters in the movie.

This is the shortest Rugrats movie as being only 78 Minutes.

Coco LaBouche's name translates literally to "Coco the Mouth".

After the babies have been "apprehended" and are being returned to the ride Ooey Gooey world, you can see Nigel and Eliza from The Wild Thrornberrys in the car behind Coco and Chad.

Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon Movies first sequel to one of their films in this case The Rugrats Movie (1998) and it is the only sequel until Rugrats Go Wild (2003) which releases three years later; this made Rugrats the only Nicktoon to have more then one movie adaption until SpongeBob SquarePants with The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out Of Water (2015) which released 12 years since Rugrats Go Wild (2003) and 15 years since Rugrats in Paris: The Movie.

When Kira calls Stu, the call is shown to be transferred by map from Paris to the Pickle's house, placing them in Southern California.

The scene where Spike and Fifi share a slice of pizza is similar to the famous spaghetti scene in "Lady and the Tramp".

The song sang during Chuckie's dream sequence is "Chuckie Chan". In the dream, he imagines himself as a martial arts expert similar to Jackie Chan. Chuckie's real name is Charles, same as Jackie Chan's father, Charles Chan.

EuroReptarland is a parody of Disneyland Paris

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

In Nickelodeon's second theatrical film based on one of their "groundbreaking" Nicktoons, Stu is summoned to Reptarland (via a cheesy scene where he talks to a woman on the phone very late at night)to fix his attraction and he brings along Chaz, who's thinking about remarrying. (Like the show, everyone else comes for the ride also). The best scenes in this movie are the Godfather parody, Casey Kasem's few lines at the wedding, the King Kong/Godzilla/Super Mario 64 parody, the famous scene where Chuckie SPOILER ALERT: crashes the wedding, the Chuckie Chan song, Ooey Gooey Land and Chaz's MySpace page. This film is the best of the trilogy. After seeing this, the first one just looks like an experiment and Rugrats Go Wild, the third and final movie, just looks like a bad film. If you like Rugrats, and you're given a choice about which one you want to watch, pick this one. Oh, and if you want to see this, pick it up very quickly; it hasen't been on TV for years. However, after the movie, the show started to go downhill. (I think that I'm the only person who realized that the tittle is abbreviated to R.I.P. Maybe it was intended to be the series finale...) My Rating: 8/10 Rated G (Cocoa MIGHT have said "ass" at one point of the film.)

Hunaya

I have watched the movie Rugrats in Paris and I think that it is really a great movie for kids to watch and enjoy. The movie was very realistic just like the other Rugrats movie The Rugrats Movie. Although it wasn't very good because of some parts. On a scale of 1 to 10 I think I will give it a 7 or 8.

Hono

Being that the first film in this series was somewhat of a disappointment, I had no expectations of this being above or beyond its predecessor-much to my surprise and pleasure, I was rather thrilled at the results.

The animation is stunning, even inspired. The illustrations are full, with just enough whimsy to let you know that this is still what it is. The story is a bit of a tear-jerker, especially if you have seen the series and are familiar with the characters. Anyone who doesn't feel something during this film never had a childhood.

Each segment comes alive with its own beat, pulsating joyful across the screen. There is enough in here for adults to WANT to see it again, and enough that the kids won't complain. The references to pop culture are extensive, not limiting themselves to the last five years, or just one genre, but running the gamut from art to politics and back again, from the present day to the distant past. This a film to treasure-not quite all time great material, but very, very good.

There are of course, scenes which don't work, or could have been cut out, but then it wouldn't have been itself-And what's the point of that?

Modred

I went with my 3 daughters and whole family.(husband and inlaws) We all loved it. The music scores was just right, and I thought it was VERY good. Two new characters are introduced. The locales were true to life. The detail was amazing. And after the movie... I had to remind myself that it was made for the kiddies. It's not something that an adult will groan as 'the obligatory movie' for their child that they have to suffer thru as their chaperone. Knowing the characters before-hand is a plus... then you would know/understand what's going on with the characters, because everyone is there at some point. For a kid's cartoon... it was very good. two thumbs up and in perspective, it's for the kids.

lacki

This movie is even better than the 1st Rugrats movie. It was a really fun movie to go see. It had jokes and gags for both the kids and the parents (that's me). I went with my wife and my daughter and all of us really enjoyed the movie and thought it was better than the 1st movie. It was great seeing Chuckie trying to be brave like Tommy. And Angela was her usual naughty self. Phil and Lil were their usual gross selves, too. Even Dill was there, along with all of the grownups. You definitely have to go and see this movie, whether you are a kid, or just a kid at heart.

POFOD

I sat through this movie with my wife, my two-year-old daughter (on my lap) and my boys (5 and 7 years old). We've been watching Rugrats on TV for some time, and are quite familiar with the characters.

Honestly, this was one of the better movies I've seen this season, bar none. There are ample parodies of other movies (to make the adults laugh-outright), as well as lots of fun for the little ones. The battle between Robo-Reptar and Robo-Snail kept my boys talking excitedly all the way home.

If you are not a fan of the Rugrats, this movie will do little to change that. However, this movie is considerably better than either the first Rugrats movie or any of the individual TV episodes. For once, a movie spawned from a TV series is actually better than the series.

It is a pleasant surprise when a movie meets your expectations; it's a great gift when a movie exceeds them. "Rugrat in Paris: The Movie" does just that. Being a sequel usually means a movie has one strike against it. Not only does it have the predecessor to live up to, but it needs to still seem fresh and new. The rugrats movies had the almost decade old series to live upto. The first one was a ruckus affair reminding one of the early years of the series. It was a total triumph. To maintain the high standards of both the series and the first movie would require some hot writing and a big payoff. Both are present in the newest edition to the rugrats saga. The story is a heart warming touching story, the songs that make of the sound track are just fantastic. Even if you are not a parent this movie will be one of your favorites of 2000.

With lots of fun references to other movies (`Godfather' being the best homage) `Rugrats in Paris' is a good time for all.

The animation in this film is not as flashy as in the first `Rugrats' movie that came out in 1998 but because of that it works all that much better. It is more simplistic, less dark and much more in the vein of the Nickelodeon cartoon series.

It also has a few breakthrough moments: why Chuckie doesn't have a Mom, Chuckie's first word (at least the first word understandable by adults) and actual empathy by Angelica for another person's feelings.

That is why I continue to watch the `Rugrats' both on television and in their movies: unlike so many other cartoon characters they continue to evolve and grow though I hope they never truly grow up.

In addition to the usual voices used in the Nickelodeon series the addition of Debbie Reynolds, Susan Sarandon, John Lithgow and Casey Kasem make this film version just that much better. Especially Susan Sarandon who plays the scheming Coco LaBouche' a real star turn if ever there was one.

There are a few scary moments that children of the actual age that the Tommy, Chuckie, Phil and Lil are supposed to be might find to be a little too much but the overall film has a lot of warm, fuzzy moments that, as is the standard for all the Rugrats' productions, teach a good lesson without hitting you over the head with it.

There is pathos, sweetness, redemption, scariness and just the right amount of humour to make this a film that all the family should see.

I first saw this film at the cinema in 2001 with my sister and a volunteer/social worker and we all found it enjoyable. Later that year I received the VHS for Christmas (which I still have to this day) and I was happy that it included two bonus features at the end; the music video for the Baha Men's 'Who Let the Dogs Out? (the most memorable pop song in the film itself)' and behind the scenes footage.

Back to the film. The animation is more fluid and detailed than that in the television series while the backgrounds for Euroreptarland are vibrant and imaginative. A lot of the dialogue is pretty memorable with some funny and clever lines, particularly from the Rugrats themselves (such as Dil saying "Wee wee/Oui oui" as he wets himself and Angelica saying he's speaking French already) and some pop culture references that I didn't pick up until my most recent viewing today. The characters from the original series and 'The Rugrats Movie' are their usual selves while Chuckie brings out his brave side towards the end, and although Susie (who I think should have gone to Paris since she didn't join the other Rugrats on their adventure in the first film) and Kimi (who is new in this film and pleasingly appeared in 'Rugrats' episodes following this film) got the least screen time. While the story was weak in places, I liked the main plot of Stu being sent to Euroreptarland to fix a giant robotic Reptar and the subplot of Chuckie longing for a new mother. The incidental music is mostly grand and cinematic with a couple of quirky spots that sound like the music used in the series; however while most pop songs were pleasant, funny and catchy, they weren't as memorable as the Baha Men's number, Geri Halliwell's version of 'These Boots Are Made For Walking,' and the rendition of 'Bad Girl' performed by Angelica and the sushi place staff. Another flaw was the second coating of slime on Angelica changing from purple to green during the climax. Flaws aside, another positive spot was the voice acting, particularly from the Rugrats and their parents. Debbie Reynolds was a pleasant surprise for Lulu while the French accents from Susan Sarandon and John Lithgow for Coco and Jean-Claude respectively were spot on.

In spite of its problems, 'Rugrats in Paris' is fun to watch and brings back fond enough memories of watching the television series as a child and teenager. 8/10.

After seeing the utterly horrid "The Rugrats Movie", I wasn't expecting anything better than mediocrity from this one. Boy was I pleasantly surprised.

The plot concerns Stu Pickles going to Paris to fix a Reptar Robot he gave to a French theme park ran by Coco LaBouche (Susan Sarandon). Well . .. I don't wanna spend too much time on the plot, so . ..

Hardly perfect, but it's above-average, compared to most Nick films. Certainly way better than the original.

The animation isn't great (in my opinion), but numerous jokes and movie references (much more intelligent than the three year old-directed humor of the original) work extremely well. The continual parodies of "The Godfather" are hilarious and shockingly well-done. (And Chuckie does kinda sound like Vito Corleone . . . scary.) There are references to "King Kong", "Lady and the Tramp", the "Godzilla" movies, "The Hunchback of Notre Dame", "Enter the Dragon", and surely more. This film is, as one reviewer of "The Rugrats" series put it, on the fine line between children's entertainment and adult satire.

There are some relatively emotional moments, too: the opening wedding scene is surprisingly effective (and it takes a lot to get me crying, believe me), the wedding of Kira and Chas, Chuckie screaming "No!" (his first word intelligible to the adults) as Coco and Chas are about to get married . . . the only drawbacks are the toilet/gross-out humor, which is unfortunately abundant here (esp. the scene with the babies playing in the bathroom of a plane [I don't get it, either] and "Ooey Gooey World"), and the fact that the new characters, Kira and Kimi (Chuckie/Chaz's wife/mom/daughter/sister) would destroy what little enjoyability the "Rugrats" series had left. But, aside from that and the (enjoyable) implausiblity (I'd rather see the 'rats riding the Reptar robot around Paris than Spike fight that stupid wolf on a bridge), this is a very good family film.

Seven stars.

Rugrats In Paris is a really cute movie. The tv show has been aired from around 1990 till now, and is a very fun children's show. The movie also shows more emotions from the characters than in the original, such as the mother-less Chuckie. This movie is really funny and entertaining. I give Rugrats In Paris a 10 out of 10. :)

lucky kitten

Rugrats in Paris, where can I start.... well, it's kinda like the first film, the fact that it's not a terrible movie, but certainly not a masterpiece either.

First off, the only good bits are the Godfather Parody at the start, and I must say, it's a good parody, and some well scripted lines, thats where the good stuff stops, and if you wanna expect a good film, stop reading now.

The bad points are that the movie has crappy animation, some bad voice acting, and crappy designs, thats all the bad points.

Other than that, it's a relativly enjoyable experience, and you just might like it.

Overall: 6/10

Rugrats in Paris: The Movie is another worthy sequel to a great movie. The babies are funnier this time around and the in joke refrences are hilarous. The Godfather parody will ahve you rolling in the aisles. This is a movie for the young and the young at heart.

I started to watch the Rugrats' TV show because my kids wanted to watch it. I'll watch it on my own now, because it's one of the funniest shows around, and the movie is even funnier.

Fortunately, it's not a show or movie that talks down to kids, or does whatever it can do to stupefy the parents (as, say, a show about a certain purple dinosaur). "Rugrats in Paris" succeeds because it has humor on all levels -- certainly simple slapstick, but also higher satire as well (what three year old kid will understand the reference to "The Godfather"?). Even though you could probably see the ending coming from a mile off, it was still a very funny movie, and extremely well made. A lot of the animation effects were worth the price of admission itself.

Oh yeah, my kids loved it, too. This was the first time that my three year old daughter was in a movie theatre, and she loved every minute of it.

Dukinos

THIS MOVIE IS SO BAD, UGLY, GROSS! I WANT AN IMMEDIATE REMBOURSER!

Gugrel

I had a blast. They had a blast. It was clean fun. No profanity, no sex, nothing I had to "explain." (Other than what a Godfather was.) ;)

I enjoyed it much more than the first movie, and more than the TV show It is amazing how they can throw in some pretty high-level humor that only my wife and I are going to laugh at, while simultaneously showing babies shoving "goo" in their diapers and putting my kids into fits.

I thought I was going to fall off my seat when Phil and Lil came up with a horse's head that they found in their crib.

We will actually go see it with our kids again in the theatres. (Probably do a matinee this time.) I can think of a lot worse things to do with two hours.

Gardall

This film is just as great as the first one was. I recommend everyone to see it. I can't wait for it to come out on video so it can proudly be added to the rest of my Rugrats video collection.I hope they make a third Rugrats movie next year so Kimi can have a full adventure with the rest of the crew.

Llbery

If you only see one movie this year... hopefully this isn't it. It's a good movie (I gave it an 8 out of 10 though I was probably a bit generous), but there are better ones out there. However, if you're an adult with children, or you just want to take a break from "serious cinema" and go on a shallow emotional roller-coaster ride, this is your ticket. Geared primarily for kids and the adults they drag along with them, this will probably appeal to those who may have had a bad experience with other holiday releases (i.e., one featuring a certain revamped Dr. Seuss character who shall remain nameless.) It's definitely one of those movies that you've got to allow to be corny, cheesey, and oftentimes sappy in order to enjoy it. If none of this appeals to you, then you'd best avoid this movie, because it's full of it. Though it makes up for it by having its share of in-jokes, parodies, and subtle "wink over the kid's heads" humor that won't make sense to them for a decade or so. Was it an unnecessary sequel? Perhaps. But as far as unnecessary sequels go, this is one of the better ones I've seen recently.

[Warning: single fathers with children may have difficulty explaining to their kids afterward why they can't go mother-shopping in Paris too. (And no, that's not a spoiler, you're told that much in newspaper blurbs.)]

Vut

I thought Rugrats in Paris was a great movie, a must-see for all ages, especially Rugrats fans! The plot was intriguing, the animation outstanding, the dialogue funny and charming. This movie definitely brought some major changes to the Rugrats clan, and all in all, made me love them even more!

Anasius

I loved the first couple of seasons of the TV show and I love Paris! So I thought this would be great fun -- afterall I could imagine the kids getting lost in the Louvre, or dangling over the edge of the Eifel Tower, or falling off a bridge and onto one of the tour boats on the river, etc. But, this film takes place in a pseudo-Tokyo theme park named EuroReptarLand (can you say EuroDisney?) There's jokes about sushi, not escargot, sumo wrestlers as waiters and floor show entertainers, and some ripoffs of the "Lady And The Tramp" film, etc. All in all, a huge disappointment.

Memuro

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.

Clever

While I will go as far as to say this sequel to the smash (though not to smashing to me) 1998 film Rugrats is better than the first, I'm not giving this film everything. There are as many (if not more) poop and pee jokes here than the original and while I'm a fan of that humor (Jeff Daniel's landmark scene in Dumb and Dumber is a good example), this goes too far. Still, despite various liabilities, it was fun, with the big pull up being the parody of The Godfather with the Mobfather as Angelica. Celebrity voices include Susan Sarandon, John Lithgow, Cindi Lauper, and Isaac Hayes. B+

Simple fellow

I don't even need to see it to believe it! The whole Rugrats empire has gone too far. A second movie IS NOT necessary at ALL. Here goes... little scaredy cat Chuckie Finster goes to a wedding and gets depressed that he doesn't have a mom (deceased). A brother of the father Chaz calls up and says there's a malfunction at Euroreptarland (a licensed Japanese Godzilla-type "Reptar" theme park in Paris) and make's a mistake, saying that Chaz can bring family and friends (I don't know why they could have settled it all with a nice, long mini-series). That was the cunning way to a plot of garbage. Chaz had an idea that he could find love in gay [not today's meaning :-P] Pareee. All the babies and company go to Paris and get into a typical Scooby Doo situation (Stupid meddling kids...). Two new characters come into view, a new Rugrat, Kimi, and the step-mother of Chuckie, which has yet to be determined. They make a big deal about a minor character instead of a new Rugrat. But hey, I'm only a 12-year-old who loathes many popular cartoons (Pokédie!)) A Rugrats movie is the way to introduce a new character to the show (miniseries...). They have also stereotyped the French enough to call it discrimination. Streetside cafés, monuments (like the dog doing his busines on the Eiffel Tower, ala Big Daddy), the language (like saying Oui, Oui meaning an amber bodily waste), their fashions and appearances, food, etc. etc. What the $%#@ did Nickelodeon do to them? Infiniti thumbs Way, Way DOWN!

Malodred

Better than the first and third. Chuckie finally gets a mom, and his father finally gets a wife. Susan Surandan plays a spoiled woman who wants to control Eurp Reptar as well as marry Chuckies father.

New characters are brought in as well as a great story with Angelica veing her evil self, tricking chuckies dad to marry Susan Sarandon's father so she could get a float. It backfires as the evil woman's assistant tries to stop her.

Chuckie finally learns to talk, stopping the wedding from happening. His father finally realizes that she wasn't the right woman to merry.

I thought out of all the rugrat movies, this was the best one. Better than the first. A MUST WATCH!!!!
