Rugrats Have Announced The Most Bizarre Reboot…

[@geeker6350]

The only way this can work is if it's a psychological horror movie about Stu slowly losing his grip on reality.

[@QueSeraSeraaaa]

With something like "I’M NOT STU!"

[@caseymcdonald9714]

"stu it's 4 in the morning, why on earth are you making chocolate pudding" That's how it starts

[@sofiadominguezleon4106]

​​@@caseymcdonald9714So Stu goes insane and he imagines that the babies talk but in reality they can't Because Stu becomes a drug-addict So his wife Didi sent him to therapy

[@l33ch.b0y]

At that point they should just go full rugrats theory creepypasta

[@SparkpadArt]

The only way I can see a live-action/animated hybrid working is if the animation is deliberately stylized when focusing on the babies to represent their vivid imagination, and regular live-action everywhere else. Not "as realistic as possible" CGI to blend in with it.

[@HayLeesHomeMade]

I don't want to watch another super babies -esque movie while it's in live action, but i agree that's the only way this would work

[@diegovazquez9742]

Likewise I think having real babies with uncanny valley CGI would be creepier.

[@LoneDawg-tg5kf]

Worst idea ever, you don’t need to make every cartoon live action

[@Abbiline7]

Exactly! The live-action market feels so oversaturated now

[@Trainfan1055Janathan]

Stephen Hillenburg never asked people not to make SpongeBob spin-offs. He only said, "I don't see any at this time," or something like that. But on a side note, interesting fact: In Japanese, "The Rugrats Movie" is "Rugrats Movie," "Rugrats in Paris: The Movie" is "Rugrats: The Paris Expedition" and "Rugrats Go Wild" is "Rugrats: Go-Go Adventure."

[@QueSeraSeraaaa]

Nickelodeon didn’t respected him when he was alive, even less in death. They used his creations for politics stuffs, two years after his passing.

Stephen Hillenburg never made Rugrats

[@Trainfan1055Janathan]

I know. But he was saying something about the whole Stephen Hillenburg thing. I forgot the exact quote, but it was something like, "like making spinoffs to SpongeBob SquarePants, despite Stephen Hillenburg's direct wishes not to." I should've time stamped it.

[@Birdsflight44]

The quote has been taken out of context- the vibe was that he wasn't feeling it at the time, but he wasn't STAUNCHLY against them. He was literally chuckling in that conversation, iirc. He probably wouldn't appreciate shitty cash grabs, but it didn't seem like he'd be all that upset if his animation peers were allowed to make a quality product.

Dude didn’t we JUST have them actually DELETE a live action cartoon hybrid reboot??? You’d think they wouldn’t try to jump at the idea again.

[@Probox-hn9yf]

This is already worse than The Minecraft Movie

[@Fusilier7]

Y'know, Cartoon Network use to poke fun at studios remaking old programmes into flashier, modernised graphics, what use to be parody is now our reality. The Rugrats was a 90s show, leave it in the 90s, no one was asking for a photorealistic reboot of the Rugrats, this could end up like the Baby Geniuses films, what next? A photorealistic reboot of Rocko's Modern Life?

[@pheunithpsychic-watertype9881]

Yeeees. Geez even as a snotty kid going into the 2000s I knew rugrats was of its time because it could only work in its time. By the new milenium cartoons gradually became less and less cartoony and whacky and more cynical and ironic. It had its time and they're just Frankensteining it at this point.

[@some_guy117]

Watch the only animated things be the babies talking, spike, and when the babies imagine something and they spend like 15 minutes doing something before the main story begins

[@OcioCamaraMx]

Imagine watching the movie to find out the adults are all live action while the babies and the dog are made with a super uncanny CGI. At this point, 2D puppet animation like Bluey would make more justice to franchise.

[@PeterGriffin11]

I thought this was cancelled before? I wish Paramount would instead consider making that crossover NickToons movie I heard got cancelled instead of this.

[@ThePkmnYPerson]

Don't pretend this movie isn't the first in a planned Nicktoons Cinematic Universe.

[@Lilcutiepie95]

Ewww please no. It will bomb hugely. Jesus. It sounds gross.

[@henryhehman8015]

The only idea I can see that would work with a live action CGI hybrid movie would be if when the babies go into their imaginations, they use CGI to show that

[@alexgrant7514]

This sounds like itd be something like the Baby Geniuses movies. Like you have live action toddlers with cgi mouths, buuuuuut if they do it so the babies in this film look like cgi monstrosities while their parents are normal would be terrifying.

[@pheunithpsychic-watertype9881]

Modern garbage pail kids

[@BVidwatcher]

Wasn’t that who talking now movie?

[@UberMilch]

Maybe it could be that the CGI is only when they're playing pretend?

[@TeruteruBozusama]

One of the "rules" of Hollywood is "never work with untrained animals or children", creepy cgi babies ahoy...

[@AlexiaHoardwing]

Was thinking the same thing.

[@ma.2089]

that sounds pretty ok then

[@jayjaybulldog9180]

What’s crazy is that this movie was originally supposed to release back in 2020 but cancelled it to be pushed back due to the worst cgi trailer of sonic the hedgehog first had, now but now paramount thinks that it can be just as good as sonic which is literally gonna be a total nightmare😳.

[@antwong6999]

I mean even still you could have the live action area of like backgrounds and backdrops. But the babies and the people be animated almost like a rotoscope situation maybe

[@albatross4920]

Given Clasky Kupo's wonky potato art style, the characters are gonna look pretty trippy in a live action environment 😵‍💫

[@remixchild]

0:19 because learning from past mistakes is haaaaaaard!!!

[@crashban4t.f.s.b783]

F Paramount for cancelling Rugrats in space. Give us a Stu and Drew show/Rugrats prequel where we could see Stu and Drew in highschool and I’ll forgive them.

[@bak8823]

The first season art style with mainly seeing Tommy's perspective on the world was amazing. Just do that again but in the modern day n get the baby's view on todays toys n gadgets.

[@Harambemojo]

Paramount is just rolling the dice for what IP they wanna push out a movie for, even if it doesn’t make sense they make it happen

[@faithlessangel6836]

The new CG rugrats show is not just a rehash of the old show for one they made Susie the same age as the baby's instead of the same age as Angelica so they age turned down for some stupid reason also they changed Grandpa Lou his whole personality is different

[@GLITZNGOR3]

WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL IT'S TURNING INTO THE LIVE ACTION FAIRLY ODD PARENTS ALL OVER AGAIN

[@BoltofMystery]

When hearing a mix of 2d and 3d, I thought they were going 3d simulating 2d, not live action. 🤔

[@QueSeraSeraaaa]

I was thinking about the Peanuts movie released in 2015, it was modern but faithful to the franchise.

[@mathieuleader8601]

I'm getting flashbacks to the movie Baby Geniuses & the Doctor Who episode Space Babies

[@AoshiStark]

I think I figured out how they're going to make this work. Both the babies and the parents and the environment will be live action. But when the babies are left to their own devices, their " imaginations " take over and that's when the film shifts to CGI. That's the only way I could imagine this working and not have it be horrific

[@Sh4d0wN1ght0]

"Rugrats reboot can't hurt you, it isn't real." Rugrats reboot:

5:15 the first Nickelodeon Studios movie was Hariet the Spy. It has Rosie O'Donnell and a creepy feet focused scene

[@holdenmenard1312]

OMG, I forgot about that movie! I keep forgetting Rosie O’Donnell was in that movie, and yeah, the feet scenes was just creepy and messed up to look at after rewatching. The child actors were literally preteen babies, was that creep Dan Schneider involved with Harriet the Spy?

[@gamerzilla6113]

You should consider making a video on Creature Commandos

[@bsabruzzo]

It could be worse. It could be on the level of baby geniuses and baby geniuses II.

[@GenerationX1984]

I prefer old animation styles to the CGI animation they have today. There's too much of it now.

[@toonitedytp4194]

I personally feel like this movie should go down the Chip n’ Dale: Rescue Rangers root. The reason why I think that is because it’s a better animation choice than realistic cartoon characters in the real world trope. At least of what I know of, I wasn’t even aware Chip n’ Dale: Rescue Rangers was going to be a crossover movie until the first trailer came out. Idk how that would work if they’ll use only Nickelodeon/Paramount IPs or expand out with IPs from other studios. The only plus side I can see with that idea is the possibility of making movie Sonic meeting Ugly Sonic canon.

[@AcGd-f7d]

If anything Ren and Stimpy should have a movie

[@tacksgmvs2070]

Can’t wait to see the parents catching the babies talking then Tommy turns around and says “Uh... meow?”.

[@WillDaBeard]

Wow as if that CG cartoon wasn’t enough nightmare fuel visually, a hybrid of CG and Live action of RUGRATS sounds actually HORRIFYING!

[@krossrex]

Rugrats was MY SHOW growing up, even now as an adult I’ll still go back and rewatch it. When the new show released I originally was heavily against it after watching it. However when you step back and look at it not as a continuation of the original, but as a remake in the modern era, it isn’t that bad. Of course I’ll always be upset about some of the changes, especially how dirty they did Charlotte who went from being this bad ass business mogul who literally saved all the families by ripping off her high heel shoe and creating an opening for everyone to escape the capsized boat in to a shallow vein nobody who hates everyone in Drew’s extended friends and family (who also low key hate her in return) but the show (standing back and looking at it as a ‘new’ stand alone series’ isn’t half bad. Of course there’s nods to the original show for us adult fans, and even reskinned with tweaked storylines based off a few original show episodes. But it does grow on you after a while. Their Halloween special they dropped a couple years back was actually pretty great compared to modern show Halloween specials, and the Christmas one is pretty good as well, even comparing them to some of the originally running rugrat holiday specials. It is good in its own right, compared to a lot of the modern shows across the different animation networks, it’s a fine successor to the original series, even if it isn’t AS GOOD. Not every episode is a winner, but more than half are enjoyable. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

[@rangerzickle3350]

1:40 yes thats exactly how they described it.

[@mario-mario822]

😊or Nickeloden could make a My Life as a Teenage Robot 2d animated movie instead ❤️🤖

[@zezimare]

i can kinda see this working?? if the baby point of view is the animated part, and the normal outside parent POV is live action? but it still seems a weird choice.

[@honkbonk6255]

Harriet the spy in 1995 was the 1st nickelodeon movie, then goodburger.

It was actually in 1996, not a year before, but you’re close. 👍🏼

[@killerkeksie3465]

I think it could be everything live action but the babies fantasy will be CG

[@DarthTella]

the two ways this could work for me is if every character including the babies are live action and we get a CG Reptar or something. Or, if they have all 'real world' stuff happening in live action and the babies imagination stuff in CG.

[@lexibyday9504]

[@Envy1359]

I can’t believe they’re gonna ruin my childhood even more with this idea… By the way, ever since I was still a high schooler, I heard rumors that Rugrats will get a live action film… Perhaps the rumors are true after years have passed since I graduated… Now they’re being like Disney with their idea of “live-action remakes” similarly…

[@sam-jn6nl]

[@kassiem333]

[@fallautumn5080]

I can see them maybe making the real world live action then maybe when the kids are do they're playing it turns cartoony? Idk wishful thinking

[@Spiritofthecimmarron]

I feel like they said "yeah lets make it live action thats whats cool nowdays" and then realised its impossibly hard to get real toddlers to follow a script and also probably not possible to do half the stuff the kids actually do in these animations because its dangerous for the child actors, so decided to just animate the babies instead. Its probably going to be some uncanny valley babies that haunt all our dreams forever after we watch it

[@Miscellaneous_Minx]

I’m as old as this show has been over 😭

[@gregzotter6189]

Why?! Why, after their mediocre FOP live-action films (and series) would they look at ANOTHER famous IP that should stay animated and say, "yeah, that looks good in live-action"?

[@AlexiaHoardwing]

How I can see it making some sense but still being bad. When it's from the parents perspective/real life it's live action. When it's the kids perspective/imagination it's cgi.

[@novarachnid]

I'll never forgive All Grown Up for draining the life out of Klasky Csupo. At the time they were also doing As Told By Ginger which I feel is severely underrated and should have had more love put into it. Lots of plot lines that dropped off for no real reason.

They weren’t involved with the reboot. They were supposed to be, originally. But they stepped down mid production. Former Klasky alumni were involved with it, however.

[@hunterolaughlin]

I understand while many weren’t fans of the CGI reboot, I did personally enjoy it and felt it kept the spirit of the original series alive. However, this live-action CGI hybrid is definitely a hard pass for me and just looks like it’s going to bring horrible flashbacks of Son of the Mask to moviegoers. This is just going to make the Baby Geniuses films look like masterpieces in comparison. At least those films knew to use real babies and toddlers and CGI only for their lips. Heck, this could even cause those who weren’t fans of the CGI reboot I’ve mentioned to end up reevaluating the reboot and finding more positive things to say about it in comparison to the live-action CGI/hybrid film.

This isn’t even the first time a CGI/Live Action Rugrats film has been announced, there was another one announced around the 2010’s only to end up getting cancelled I have no idea why they decided to bring the film back

[@michaelpiper8198]

If I was making it then everyone would be both in the way where in scenes where the camera is with adults then everything is live action with the children being slightly CG enhanced to move or wink or gesture only to keep it as if its "just babies being babies" feel to the scenes then when in the perspective of the children the camera would transition to the cartoon world viewpoint that is slightly more vibrant colours and has fantastical events take place during such moments. then at the end I would have the two worlds viewpoints come together in some event like them being trapped somewhere separated and have them reunite on differing sides of a sealed door that need the children to open it up before some time expires so one of the parents plays into the children's fantasies prompting the rest to do the same and the children "battle" the last hurdle before escaping with their parents they "saved" with an afterward of them having a playdate and have the parents talk about how scared they were when the children got stuck in something far more mundane than the children's side would have one believe.

7:26 Scooby-Doo was better than this! Not every reboot was great but the best ones were amazing and showed that there is plenty of life left in the franchise. Rugrats had its time, I admittedly don't enjoy it like I did as a child but even I know it would be much better than this.

[@consumeroftoons2119]

Rugrats has this current punching bag status online, because people are sick of Nickelodeon's dependence on 90s nostalgia. I believe the show has lasting appeal and could thrive in any era. It saw a resurgence in the 2010s and was even popular among younger viewers, like Gen Z. Rugrats in Paris also had significant airtime in the early 2010s, proving that new generations can still connect with these characters. While the reboot wasn’t bad, it struggled because it was too similar to the original and had some flaws that turned viewers away. (I enjoyed it despite the flaws but unfortunately they were enough to sour people)

[@Dinobolt1]

@@consumeroftoons2119 I apologize if I sounded harsh, what I meant when I said that Rugrats had its time was that the original series came and went leaving an impact. It deserves to have the lasting appeal many people find in it and should still be re-ran on Nick. Yeah I admittedly can't get over how they ruined my favorite character grandpa Lou. He's nowhere near as entertaining as the original version.

[@spooderdude5949]

They just need to leave this show alone, it was perfect the way it was when it originally aired to the point where you could still show its classic iteration to children growing up today, and they will still take on those lessons. I don't know why these companies think that all of these shows need a revival. When all they really need is just a brush up in the animation, and maybe to have some of the voice actors come back and fix some lines, that is it, we do not need new animation style or storylines because the story that they gave was perfect to begin with.

[@JeremiahRichardson-i8m]

Oh boi 😰

[@Homerstar]

The recent CGI reboot can’t have been that successful as I don’t think I saw anyone talk about the 2nd season to the point that I didn’t even think the reboot got a 2nd season. But yeah, this movie sounds like a disaster. What is hollywoods obsession with making every animated property Live Action at some point, not everything has to be Live Action.

[@consumeroftoons2119]

It did fairly well on streaming, (even with Nick not marketing it much) and has a third season on the way. Unfortunately, networks still count traditional metrics and it didn’t too well on the linear network. Three seasons is enough, especially since the 2021 series is just a retelling of the original series. But it still got done dirty, with the reboot being removed from Paramount+ and the rest of Season 2 being relegated to digital platforms, and DVD.

[@yukidogzombie4708]

as someone who loves the old cartoon & the reboot, just no to this movie I honest can't not see how it would be good in any way

[@TellyMan200]

as someone said , not again, rugrats was nice back in the 90s and 00s but not so much now, much have moved on

[@consumeroftoons2119]

I believe that the current negative sentiment towards "Rugrats" grows from viewers' frustration with Nickelodeon's reliance on legacy properties, which detracts from the development of original content. Interestingly, "Rugrats" enjoyed considerable popularity throughout much of the 2010s, leading to excitement when the reboot was first announced. While I understand the reasons behind the current discontent with "Rugrats," I maintain that the characters and premise possess a timeless quality that can resonate in any era, as evidenced by the success of Boom Comics. Even ignoring that the live action/CG movie is a bad idea, and goes completely against what people loved about Rugrats, this is not the way you introduce those characters. A different strategy, such as the one employed in "A New Wish," could have proven more effective.

[@GODZILLA2915]

With that reboot, I didn’t like their 3D models and it has dull lighting and colors such as the living room. Also where’s Howard? Nostalgia had its uses for Nick such as Hey Arnold The Jungle Movie and even gave a few shows one more special, but I say the Rocko one gave the best lesson when it comes with nostalgia.

[@consumeroftoons2119]

The lighting in the Pickles' house tends to be quite dim, while other locations feature brighter illumination. Regarding Howard, there are subtle hints and teases about his potential introduction in the series. However, if he is indeed brought into Season 3, as suggested, it would have been more effective to introduce him from the outset and to portray Betty as bisexual. This is not to undermine the talent involved in the reboot; it includes notable alumni from "Hey Arnold," such as Joe Purdy and Rachel Lipman, and showrunner Kate Boutilier has a history with both the original "Rugrats" and "The Wild Thornberrys." My critique is not directed at these people, they had their hearts in the right place, but rather at the decision to adopt a partial modernization approach instead of fully reimagining the series. While I personally enjoy the reboot, I believe a special or miniseries format could have been a more compelling alternative.

[@darthkitsu]

What if it's a live action movie, but the babies' imagination is CGI? Not saying I like it, but that might be a good way to go about it.

if you don't like Baby geniuses, baby's day out, sonic, Rocky and bullwinkle, speed racer, Minecraft, possible casting of Chris Pratt as Tommy, Seth Rogen as Chucky, then you won't like this movie.
