Rugrats Movie Animation Cel

Won this in an ebay auction for $100, the background was sticking to the cel and was heavily damaged, I scanned in the background, which was a copy, and fixed the damage in photoshop, printed a new one and framed the whole thing myself. I think it came out pretty good, I would maybe switch the second mat to a similar color in the future but for now I'm glad I was able to preserve this. I also included some images from then listing showing the damage.

Football fans, help me out with the Touchdown Tommy episode

The dads all get together to watch the Ultra Bowl football game while eating pork rinds. I am clueless about football. Were/are pork rinds really a popular snack during the ball games? Seems like an odd choice to me but I don't even like pork rinds.

Why Angelica targets Chuckie ( fan theory)

Was watching dusk til Shawn’s video on Chuckie and how he points out Angelica tends to target Chuckie a lot.

She would target him the most out of the babies and I have a theory of why she does it..

So in 1988 Angelica was born and obviously she was getting a lot of attention from the adults in her life , the adults that look after her like Stu and Didi.

She also would get attention for being the first baby born from the friend group.

And then 1989… Chuckie would be born. And soon the atria shifted. The spot light she had her life was taken and put on Chuckie for being the newest baby born.

And Angelica when her own parents were being too busy for her and her aunt and Uncle were having split attention from thier neice follow up supporting and giving advice to Chaz and Melinda . the attention he had was slipping away.

Then in 1990 Didi was pregnant with Tommy. And more babies were coming into the grown up lives.

As you can see she is mean to all of the babies but she especially mean to Chuckie due to him being the start of the spot light taken from her.

So Angelica tend to act this way to him out of revenge for something she believes that was his fault.

She torments him in the process of potty training

Lies to him about turning into a rhinoceros/ chicken when he gets chicken pox.

Scares him with a bunny mask and tries to blame him for breaking Tommy’s lamp

Singles him out for being an alien.

Makes him a salve after saving him from a kid running him over with a 3 wheel bike.

Teases him for eating a water Mellon seed.

Takes his glasses during hide and seek plus steals his planet earth inflatable ball toy.

Breaks his record player when he played a song to help comfort Tommy about his bath tub phobia.

Calls him a scardy cat when he trying to face his fear of the slide and undermines him and discourages him from confronting it.

I could list more but you can see how she tends to target Chuckie the most from the babies.

1991 babies Unite!!!!

If you were born in 1991 the year Rugrats premiered like my October 91 born self, do you remember seeing Rugrats, Full House, or Blue's Clues first? My earliest memories seems to be in a tug of war on this cuz I feel like I first saw the Olsen twin around the same time as Rugrats lol

Of course this would have to be by the mid 90s like 1995 and later...

Any other modern movies you could see the show parodying?

I think the show could've parodied Little Miss Sunshine (just have it be the entire Pickles family in a van going through their issues)

Now that I think about it Drew anger in the first movie was very hypocritical

I’ve been rewatching The Rugrats Movie, and one thing that has always bothered me is how Drew absolutely unloads on Stu as if Stu was just being lazy or irresponsible. The older I’ve gotten, the more I think Drew’s anger was completely unfair once you actually consider what Stu and Didi were dealing with.

Think about the timeline.

Stu and Didi had just brought Dil home from the hospital. Dil wasn’t portrayed as an easy baby either. The movie makes it pretty clear that he cries constantly, demands attention nonstop, and completely turns Tommy’s life upside down. If the audience could see how exhausted everyone was, imagine how the parents felt.

Any parent will tell you that bringing home a newborn can be brutal. You’re running on almost no sleep, your routine disappears overnight, stress is through the roof, and you’re trying to adjust to caring for another child while still giving attention to your first one. That’s exactly what Stu and Didi were going through.

Yet Drew walks in acting like Stu has no excuse for falling behind.

I get that Drew had business expectations and probably wanted Stu to be more reliable, but there comes a point where empathy should kick in. Your brother just became a father again, is clearly sleep-deprived, and his household is basically in survival mode. Maybe instead of criticizing him, ask if he needs help.

What also gets overlooked is that Stu has always been shown as someone who genuinely loves his family. He’s absent-minded and not the greatest businessman, sure, but he’s never portrayed as someone who intentionally neglects his responsibilities. He was simply overwhelmed.
I actually think Drew’s personality made him blind to that. Throughout the series, Drew tends to value success, appearances, and productivity. Stu is much more creative, emotional, and scatterbrained. Because of those differences, Drew often assumes Stu’s problems come from incompetence rather than circumstances.

Ironically, if the roles were reversed and Drew suddenly had a screaming newborn keeping him awake every night while trying to balance work, I doubt he’d be performing at 100% either.

This scene hits differently as an adult because you realize Stu wasn’t just “slacking.” He was a parent trying to survive one of the hardest transitions a family can experience.
Maybe that’s why I don’t see Drew’s lecture as justified anymore. It feels like he completely ignored the obvious reality that Stu and Didi were exhausted, emotionally drained, and adjusting to life with a newborn who hadn’t stopped crying since they brought him home.

Does anyone else feel like Drew judged Stu far too harshly, or do you think his frustration was understandable given the business situation

Grandpa and his nicknames.

I've seen this asked a few times, so I figured I would clarify. People often ask, is grandpa saying "sprats" or "sprouts"?

The answer is, BOTH.

Sprouts are little baby plants, and sprats are a small forage fish a part of the herring family. Closed captioning is not messing up, and you are not hearing it wrong. Grandpa often switches between the two, and as a gardener and fisherman, it makes total sense he would utilize both.
