Critics' reviews

"What makes 'The Rugrats Movie' such satisfying family entertainment is that it knows how to please everyone"

Miami Herald
"The pleasant surprise is that the film is a delight."

Anita Gates: The New York Times
"The film has a satirical edge that won't be lost on adults but retains a sense of innocence and a joyful toddler's outlook."

Peter Stack: SFGATE
"Writers raised with Dr. Spock and Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood as spiritual guides. But the creative team also dispatches overeducated parenthood and post-permissive childhood with wry, observant wit."

Lisa Schwarzbaum: Entertainment Weekly
"Dizzy, delightful and just a bit deviant, 'The Rugrats Movie' blends all the sarcastic sensibility of "The Simpsons" with the old-fashioned silliness of Soupy Sales."

Michael O'Sullivan: The Washington Post
"Intermittently snappy and featuring slicker animation than its TV incarnation, this popular children's cartoon may satisfy its youngest fans, but it'll be a big snoozefest for the rest of the family."

TV Guide
"'The Rugrats Movie' is warm yet minus the gooey sentimentality of so many animated movies for kids."

Kevin Thomas: Los Angeles Times
