Rugrats Go Wild (2003)

Very Cool!!!

Strong and Moving!

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

I'm pretty sure that I probably watched this movie when it was still playing in the movie theaters a long time ago. I still don't know why I decided to download this movie and rewatch it after 8 long years.Comparing my experience now to the 7(or 8)-year-old kid that I was, I can say that I enjoyed this movie a whole lot more, before. It's no big surprise since this movie was targeted towards kids. It was a big plus that during my fresh childhood years, the Rugrats was one of my favorite TV shows. I also watched The Wild Thornberrys every once in a while. With that being said, I guess I enjoyed this movie just because the sight of seeing my favorite characters on the big screen, was already great to me.It was a decent movie experience. I even got that happy feeling- you know, the one that you feel when the hero finally saves the day after numerous hardships and obstacles- when Donnie took over Darwin's spot and helped raise the Comvee up with his super hyper energy and also, when the babies and Nigel saw the Giant Squid.It seemed kind of short, though. Also, I felt that they didn't give Eliza much screen-time. It kind of revolved around the babies plus Donnie. You can see Lil kind of mature here when she told her brother to stop eating bugs because it was hurting them. It reminded me of a typical older sibling-younger sibling relationship. Not two babies.I liked the Rugrats in Paris movie and The Wild Thornberrys Movie better than this one. There was more development in both films. In this movie, nothing really happened, come to think of it. The starting and the ending were the best parts of the movie. But it was still enjoyable, seeing as I grew up with the characters of the film. It made me feel a bit nostalgic.Having said that, I think that both shows are great, but when put together, it didn't make the best movie. They shouldn't have done a cross-over.If you're a Rugrats and/or The Wild Thornberrys fan, you may consider trying this. But don't expect it to be amazing. You're better off watching The Rugrats Movie, Rugrats in Paris or The Wild Thornberrys Movie.

I enjoyed the early seasons of both Rugrats & Thornberries, plus the previous movies. Therefore I was curious about this cross over, although I decided to wait for it on TV. My concern was that late episodes of Rugrats just did not have room for all the characters, while late Thornberries concentrated more on Eliza growing up, than adventures with animals. Therefore throwing these two shows together meant that nobody got their fair share of screen time. Darwen barely said a word. Bruce Willis was not a good voice choice for lovable, loyal Spike. All the songs were forgettable. The scene stealing character was Donnie the wild child. It had a good amount of laughs. The plot felt very rushed. If you like Thornberries, but not Rugrats, you could be disappointed. Passed the time, but nothing special. 5/10

this animated offering from Nickelodeon features the Wild Thornberry family and The Rugrats together.now,i know i'm not the target audience,but this is as pretty slow,lame movie.plus,it's so negative.you'd think a movie with these two families together would be pretty decent,but it isn't.i'm pretty certain a lot of kids will find it the same way,at least the older ones.the younger kids might be entertained.anyway,i was very disappointed.for a really great,funny, entertaining animated movie that the whole family will enjoy,try Recess: Schools Out instead and leave this one alone.for me, The Rugrats go Wild is a 4/10

I went to see Rugrats. When I told this to a friend of mind she said why, you're pushing 40...I went because I thought I would laugh....I did for the whole movie.Its great, its wonderful, its not Rugrats in Paris or Wild Thornberry's the Movie, but its a fun 90 minutes thats better for adults who know the references...the Poseidon Adventure song for example. (And even the filmmakers know this isn't high art when one of them in mid-panic says haven't we don this before- a reference to the first Rugrats movie) Most of the new songs suck, but the use of old ones such as "Atomic Dog" and "Should I Stay or Should I Go" was choice. I also loved who ever covered "Message in a Bottle".Any movie that lets Bruce Willis and Tim Curry riff wildly can't be all bad.The film was in ordorama--- but no one got the cards. The six smells were donuts, Peanut Butter, Flowers, Stinky Feet (Go to work dill)a Burp and Kippers. I know the kids were a bit lost behind me with the flashing numbers. If a card come with the DVD I will buy the disc."Its a lot easier going potty in the rain forest, you don't have to worry about getting it on the walls and floor" - Chuckie Spikes full name, if you care, is : Down spike down get off that couch...I loved this movie a lot. Its just great fun...My mom would go crazy about Lil and Phil and the discussion about eating bugs and mud... that included the Nemo echo of we don't eat bugs we pet them.I would like someone to explain a booger farm to me...or not... since understanding is not required to laugh at the joke.Go see the movie and laugh for 90 minutes and understand that sometimes nothing special is very special when it comes to movies.
