RUGRATS the good the bad and why Ioved this cartoon

   First off if you don't know what Rugrats is then you didn't live much in the 90's. Rugrats is a cartoon that was about talking babies on Nickelodeon that started out in 1991 and ended in 2004. Spanded three movies (Two were good, the third one sucked)
   It tells a story a story about babies named Tommy, his baby brother Dil, his best friend Chuckie, twins Phil and Lil and the most bossiest child you will ever know in your entire life. ANGELICA PICKLES.  My mom always thought I was so much like her. Why? Mostly because I looked like her, and I acted like her too. Being so bossy.

   When the show started, Dil wasn't even around, it was just Tommy and his friends and Angelica, soon, they got Susie to tag along and she's pretty cool, she was about Angelica's age and always stood up for the babies. The adults are kind of like children too, mostly Tommy and Angelica's fathers (who ironically are brothers) who act kids. They have a grandpa (voiced by to actors, but we'll get to that part later) who was always watching the kids, but then would always fall asleep in front of the tv as the kids would cause trouble somewhere else. They would have awesome adventures and Angelica would try her best to ruin it by telling the adults, blaming the chaos on the babies and eventually she ends in trouble. So much like my life. LOL.


   The good side of it was the early episodes leading up to the first movie where Didi (who is Tommy's mom) revels that she is pregnant will Dil, then that's when it went down hill a little. The episodes were OK, but they weren't as funny as they were, they seemed a little bland. Don't know why I couldn't get into them that much but eventually they weren't too bad. Sadly on an episode called "Mother's day" It has been revealed that Chuckie's mother had died of cancer in a feature season (like maybe season one, I don't know nit picking here) so his dad tells him everything about his mom. Soon, Chas decides he wants to get married and that's where the second movie comes in but to somewhat an evil woman but then, it seems she doesn't love Chuckie's father and... you have to see the movie but soon we are introduced to another Rugrat, Chuckie's sister Kimi.

   Then, it went downhill and I couldn't take it anymore. It didn't have the fiiness that the 90's rugrats gave us. It wasn't funny, but what made it worse was the third movie, where they are in the jungle and let's just say having Bruce Willis voice Tommy's dog "Spike" not a smart idea.

    The voice acting on the other hand, was good to bad, how well we lost David Doyle, who use to voice Grandpa and was replaced with someone who does have the looney tunes today. NOT FUNNY! Another voice changing was from Chuckie. The original voice actor left for personal reason and we got Nancy Cartwright, the actress who voices Bart Simpson. I like Nancy Cartwright and all, but this isn't the roll for her, half the time, I don't know what Chuckie's saying. What is he saying?


    Well the worst of it all came in 2003 when Rugrats did the worst ever, they became teenagers in a new series called "All Grown up" WHAT THE HELL WERE THEY THINKING??? Why did these wonderful rugrats into depressed teenagers? They even aged the adults and half the time it looks as if they were getting face lifts, or their faces were melting. The voice actors were the same, I doubt they even wanted to do this, but for money, they'll do anything. Thank god it was short lived and ended in 2008.


  But in my opinion the best, was the classic 90's Rugrats before Dil came around, before the voice actors changed before ALL GROWN UP happened, I just stick with the classics. Why? Because that's me. Till then, Ciao bloggers? Have a great April.
