Purportedly "Rugrats in Paris – the Movie" is about more than Notre Dame, high fashion, the Eiffel Tower and smelly cheese. Well, what else is there?
This animated adventure of the lovable gang of RR's, idols of the two to eleven-year-old set, proves once and for all that there's quite a bit more. Oh, come on, now, we knew that.
Seems that Chucky wants to find a new mother for his single dad, and when blind circumstance casts Chucky and his pals to Paris, France, voila! the hunt is on. Paris will never be the same. Then again, the inexplicable Parisians have always had that inexplicable thing for Jerry Lewis.
For reasons best known to people who write production notes, Napoleon Bonaparte, that old scalawag, is quoted: "Courage is like love, it needs hope to nourish it." For those of us over eleven, it'll take more than courage to slog through this adventure, but the rest of us will love it, and, come to think of it, that's who it's for.
The "Rugrats" TV series started on Nickelodeon in 1991 and has won countless awards. It has spawned enough consumer products to stock a small country in worthless merchandise for 15 years.
Along with Cheryl Chase and Christine Cavanaugh, Susan Sarandon, John Ligthgow and Debbie Reynolds lend their voices to the project, which is directed by Paul Demeyer and Stig Bergqvist.
