Well, it looks better than I though it would. I don't know if I'll get Paramount + so I would probably have to resort to any clips or possible free episodes online. I would still rather have it have tragically animated. While they don't look terrible the characters just have a design that wasn't made to be in CGI. Since the original VO's and some writers are involved I'll give it a chance.
Also I bet Betty will be a canon lesbian in this. Or at least bi explaining her relationship with Howard.

I often wonder what I would have made of Evangelion as a kid, since it premiered in Japan when I was kindergarten, a fact I find amusing for some reason.
If Doug is one side of Nicktoons and Ren & Stimpy and Rocko is the other side, Rugrats fell somewhere in the middle, depending on the episode it usually had the more laid back vibe of Doug (usually the earlier seasons) or was a little edgier in the vein of Rocko.
Personally that was one of the things I liked about Nicktoons as a kid, sometimes you were in the mood for something calmer and sometimes you were in the mood for something crazier, nothing wrong with variety.
I did, it was in the fact the last Rugrats thing I liked, for me it was the grand finale of the franchise.
I was for the most part meh when the show returned in 1997 and I was meh on the 1998 movie, but it was nice after what felt like ages to finally see another Rugrats thing I liked.
Nickelodeon in the latter half of the 90s was pretty meh in general compared to the first half, with the only real standout things being Hey Arnold and SpongeBob, with everything else mostly ranging from "eh, it's ok I guess" to downright lame and stupid.
That's why I'm glad Cartoon Network picked up the slack for the latter half of the 90s, Cartoon Network for me as a kid in the latter half of the 90s was what Nickelodeon was to me as a kid in the first half.
But the 2000 Rugrats movie felt like a nice reminder of the good old days of Nickelodeon.
"let the past die, burn it if you have too."
Those were the words of a villian meant to originally show how irredeemable he was...but now they are truer to life than ever before.
I HAVE to get paramount plus, I was subbed to cbs all access for a year and have to switch to paramount plus on the 4th. Oh well at least it'll be free for the remainder of my yearly subscription...i think.

Not a bad comparison, the 1990s was all about intentionally ugly character designs because that was "funny" and "quirky"
I didn't hate that style but one of the things that drew me to anime as a kid was everyone was just so much more attractively designed than most contemporary at the time cartoons, it was kind of mind blowing.
You've hit the nail on the head for why the first movie didn't work and why the second did, I didn't bother with the third movie because by that point I was too old and didn't care much about the Wild Thornberrys.
One thing I like about the second movie is, in keeping with turn of the millennium culture, they played up Reptar's Japanese origins more (despite the movie taking place in Paris), which was anticipated by that 1999 episode where they go a drive in to watch a Reptar movie that more explicitly spoofs Japanese Godzilla movies, complete with a joke about bad dubbing.
The Mr Friend episode was probably the funniest one in fact.
Angelica the drumpf supporting neo nazi bigot who commite hate crime on suzy coon michaels.
black people with big lips is problematic... because... because it isn't like real life black people tend to have have big lips or anything like that. I'm not even going to post an example of why what I just said is retarded, we all know it's bullshit.
Also the voice of Oblina from Ahhhhh!! Real Monsters and Gosalin from Darkwing Duck.
Big time F.

I am 99% sure they mentioned it in the same vein people talked about Disneyland Paris (then still called EuroDisney I believe). "Why is there an American theme park in Paris?" Just swap American for Japanese and that's almost word for word what one of the parents (not Stu) says about the whole emergency trip. Actually I'm pretty sure it was Didi who made a big deal about that because I recall Betty as the one who gave no fucks about Paris proper.
Yes, it was a spoof of EuroDisney and it was Chuckie's dad that says "Gee, I dunno Stu, a Japanese theme park in Paris?" and Stu tells him just to "go with le flow"

Eh, close enough, Didi didn't care about it either. And it works because they're emphasizing the setting and how bizarre it is. It showed that they had a clear idea of where they were going, instead of the mess in the first movie. That felt more like they didn't want it to really take place in the house, decided on a random location for the bulk of the setting (the woods), but couldn't figure out a way to get them there that wasn't a completely random scenario. Really, they had no idea what to do and how to do it, that mess should've been sent back for more rewrites.
They got Happyology spokeswoman Nancy Cartwright too
I don't get the Susie hate tbh. I always thought she was cool. She wasn't all "Strong Black Wamen" and she almost cut a bitch. That All Grown Up show? Noncanon imo.
In retrospect All Grown Up is kind of depressing when you think about it
Nancy Cartwright is a psycho.
Oh yeah, I was so disappointed in the movie as a kid, it does feel like they really didn't what to do to make a "movie" other than put the babies in actual danger, but they didn't realize how dull a location "the woods" is to base an entire movie around.
Another thing that disappointed me too was after the opening sequence we never see the babies use their imagination again, which was always one of my favorite parts of the show.
But Rugrats in Paris was so refreshing compared to the first movie because they actually came up with an interesting setting.
That one I never saw, it's still weird to me that Rugrats as a franchise (prior to this revival of course) lasted as late as 2008.
The 2D artstyle always looked terrible, but in 3D, this is nightmare fuel incarnate.
