Leave your thoughts about Rugrats Go Wild.
| Reeling ReviewsRobin CliffordThe kids will like it but leave this one to home video. |
| Film BlatherEugene NovikovThe less discerning audience of toddlers and pre-teens will be just as delighted as before, and the parents will be less bored than usual. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura Clifford"Rugrats Go Wild!" combines two successful franchises with woefully tame results. |
| South Florida Sun-SentinelLaura KellyIt does hit on a few perfect matches that are worth enjoying for those familiar with the clans Finster, Pickles, De Ville and Thornberry. |
| Detroit NewsTom LongThe Thornberrys just happen to be visiting the same island the Rugrats have been marooned on, a coincidence born in corporate cartoon heaven, letting the newer franchise prop up the older a bit. The good news is, it pretty much works. |
| Minneapolis Star TribuneRandy A. SalasFor those already familiar with these oddly lovable characters, this one comes out smelling like a rose. |
| Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittDon't expect much from the scratch-and-sniff "odorama" gimmick; the mischievous John Waters set a higher standard for that novelty in "Polyester" (1981). |
| Austin ChronicleMarc SavlovIts a message movie, as are all kids films these days, but these environmentally-aware messages are sweet and unforced, and well worth hearing. |
| New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanThough the energy occasionally flags, the movie does a nice job of exploiting the crossover potential. |
| Movie MomNell MinowAnother mildly pleasant mix of malapropisms and pop culture references, diaper humor, snippets of rock classics, a little adventure, pleasant for the kids and not too painful for their parents. |
