Rugrats in Paris: The Movie Johnbobb: 6 JONA: 6 Genny: 6 Inviso: 8 Stifled: 10 Charon: 11 Scarlet: 22 Snake: 24 Red: 25 Karo: 27 Total Score: 145 Johnbobb: This falls into some of the same issues as the first movie. Things like recurring toilet humor and outdated licensed music stops it from holding up as well as it could've over time. Still, it's a huge step up from the previous film, as it all takes place in a more interesting environment, and focuses primarily on Chuckie (who's always been the best character, let's be honest). Most importantly, there's actually a powerful and surprisingly moving story at its core, delicately dealing with the rather heavy subject of a young child with a dead mother and his single father trying to move on. JONA: I really liked the focus on Chuckie here, since he was my favorite as a kid. I also liked the Paris and park setting. Man, I wish Godzilla was as popular as Reptar is in the Rugrats world. Fun movie. Genny: Rugrats in Paris: The Movie is in my opinion, an example of a sequel that actually improves on the previous installment (take notes, A New Generation!) For one, it actually has an antagonist, and Coco's pretty entertaining to boot, and it has a theme anyone could connect with. Most everyone has experienced a loss of some sort at some point. It might not be someone as important as a wife or a mother, but anyone who couldn't sympathize with Chuckie at the mother-child dance (is that even a real thing) is a heartless monster. I feel like the addition of Kimi wasn't fully realized as they didn't do enough with her character to distinguish her other than "I know this place", "I live here", or "Here's a shortcut". She ended up being more a tour guide than an actual character, and her personality is kind of a blend of Phil and Tommy. If anything Kimi's used more as a proxy to further connect Kira and Chas Finster. That gripe aside, it was a cute movie. I'm glad Spike's sidequest to get a girlfriend wasn't a complete waste of time, and I enjoyed the shameless Disney references sprinkled throughout their date. I also immensely enjoyed the parody scenes of The Godfather, though it did kind of end up making me want to watch one of those films instead. Inviso: EVERYTHING the first Rugrats movie did wrong, this one does its best to correct. It still has a lot of the same trappings (there is an overemphasis on bodily functions from Phil & Lil, but nowhere NEAR as much as in the first movie, and the plot becomes extremely outlandish towards the end of the movie), but its easier to overlook because it feels like theres a lot more HEART in this movie. I guess it comes down to the fact that I find Chuckie a lot more compelling that Tommy, and I find Chuckies role as the only child of a single-parent household a lot more interesting than giving baby Tommy a baby brother. The Mothers Day episode is right up there with Hey Arnolds Christmas episode as one of my favorite Nickelodeon memories, so having a whole movie dedicated to Chuckies search for a mom was actually really nice. The new characters work well, and its a pretty solid movie, for a kids film. It certainly stands out as having quality compared to most of the films on this list so far. --- https://imgur.com/ptVv7Hu all going according to the plan of BKSheikah* this time...* <cite>PrinceKaro posted [p:906921633] in Gauntlet C...
