Rugrats in Paris: The Movie

Rugrats in Paris

American children have adored Rugrats since 1991, as it has consistently ranked the highest across all kid’s programs. In the second Rugrats feature film, the characters travel to France as they go assist ‘Stu Pickles’ who’s working on a mechanical dinosaur ‘Reptar’ built in ‘EuroReptarland’. Paris is a dream city for many and is not different to Chas Finster who now has his ‘Chucky’ son looking for someone new to date. It is evident that many people in Paris have smitten Chas as two very different women try to capture his heart.

They are terribly mismatched in so many ways and one of them is the arrogant director Coco LaBouche and the other is a quiet meek kind-hearted assistant named Kira Watanabe. It is Kira whose devotion of all things selfless is of concern to the ladies character which borders on an obsession. However, the director is not concerned with Coco’s opinion at all she has her own desires and wants to marry Chas which brings her happiness.

Generally, good motherly traits are highly endorsed. At one point, Chas goes through pictures of Chuckie’s mother, who is deceased, and tells his son, “Your mom was a great woman. But she’s in heaven smiling on us now.” A song in honor of mothers suggests that such mothers, “smile at, talk to nicely, tuck, tell stories, and love all their kids.” Other kids in the brief urge Chuckie not to give up in his search for a mother, “You will never know unless you give it a shot.” And it is Chuckie who, in the end, actually saves the day. And it is, most importantly, the triumph of love and it is quite clear that these families love each other.

Licit sexual depictions where parents and other family members are absent.

A wedding dress gets a lot of dirt on it, and later sds reveals her underwear to the audience. Wierd waitress costumes are seen in a Japanese restaurant with sailors in the background.

Angelica brags about being ‘the Godfather’ (Apparently she crept into somewhere and caught a glimpse of her parents’ violent movie) ‘I would twist heads and pull their hair.’ A huge bot chase in Paris results in a lot of urban decimation. Black monstrous ghouls of Chuckie’s dreams attack him and they do martial arts.

As expected, the children’s television show, is replete with Angelica’s carrots and obnoxious humor. Her favorite name for the other little kids is “dumb babies” she repeats it several times. Of course, it was in the show and not everything in her mouth is beautiful. The slang word “jeez” is employed once.

The kids are quite free to misbehave. They vandalize a hotel room, an office, ruin a wedding reception by making it a huge cake fight and in the course of playing with a giant robot, the kids take out whole areas of Paris. A baby is shown farting when someone says, “Give it some gas.” And children eat lots of disgusting food. The dog even lifts a leg on the Eiffel Tower.

For parents who enjoy the Rugrats tv show (which is full of crass language, toilet humor and absolutely no sense of discipline) then this movie is for them. At no time is a child ever made to feel bad for causing so much disorder, or ever told off for her bad manners considering some of them probably cannot speak anyway due to their age.

It is really wittily scripted, in that even the adult will manage to stay focused on it for not less than three minutes, but that some of the children’s behavior and attitudes are allowed to be the ones that distort life in the household order. A children’s film, especially, does not just poke fun to flicks so R rated as The Godfather and A Few Good Men.
