The Rugrats Are Back... With Creepy CG

The Rugrats are back for both a revival series and a live action/creepy CG film. I do not have much faith in this.

I'm starting to get annoyed with the whole "introduce a new generation to this and that" if you wanted to introduce a younger generation to something then just replay the old shows. Like PieGuy said why not reboot or continue old shows that weren't really popular and repackage as new to a younger generation.

[@nogidoki3325]

Becuase money and pulling in view babe. They want the views and they will use any method for it. No more reboots please,2016 powerpuff girls and TTG were too much of a blow for me and reboots always go hlaf ass these days becuase the team behind the show doesnt care or know in depth about the old series and the network couldn't really give any shits if they do have any clue about how it was.

[@theteamrpmgfs3901]

Well at least it's not a show like dbz or ott or Digimon or pokemon or avatar the last airbender or beyblade or yugioh or whatever else

[@malachitehawk6337]

Yeah, reboot stuff like Catsratch or El Tigre, which Nick rarely mentions.

[@TheTundraTerror]

>we're rebooting the series for a new generation >first episode assumes you know everything about the series gdiaf Dickelodeon

[@EDeeDeeS]

AAAUUUGH NO the only reboot my nine year old brother watches is ducktakes, the industry really needs new ideas

[@WeegeeSlayer123]

Why do we have to reboot a show to introduce a new generation to an old show? They're acting like the old show is completely inaccessible to newer generations, or that new generations just won't "get it."

[@Drstrange3000]

My worry is it will be filled with internet humor and memes and contain none of the charm of the original series.

[@WeegeeSlayer123]

AC Tom Nook It's a horned helmet.

[@gustyko8668]

Probably because of the "Tumblr generation".

[@RyanStorey1231]

To be fair, there are some aspects of certain 90s shows that new generations just won't get because they were built around the culture of the time period they were made in. I still remember how awkward it was in Hey Arnold: The Jungle Movie how they had to shoehorn in cell phones and point out that beepers were obsolete. It just reminded me of why this show would not work today. It's a great show, but it was a show that only could have existed in the 90s and it's better if it stays that way. I feel like Rugrats is the same way.

[@arran4285]

WeegeeSlayer money

[@ThatGuyWhoMakeRandomStuffYEEAH]

Sometimes I just wish Networks would just air the original show, I mean back in December they aired Rugrats at 7am

[@TheCreativiTeamposts]

Klasky Csupo in CGI sounds like the uncanniest of valleys

[@halfmoon4163]

The Hugh Guy A valley where you can't own any cans... No canned soda? No canned vegetables? NO CANNED BREAD?! This truly IS the worst timeline...

[@kennithball9787]

Believe me, it is.

[@swishfish8858]

Even worse than Butch Hartman in CG.

[@KaijaSchmauss]

Especially when we're talking about characters that are already human and would fair better with actual people playing the characters. Why did anyone think this was a good idea?

[@NICKtendoReviews]

Thank you for using comic sans in the thumbnail PieGuy. You give me life.

[@JustCallMeHeavy]

why did you get a oc

[@bigrybone24]

Hey are you doing another podcast with rebeltaxi since the other one failed

[@NICKtendoReviews]

cause using a logo to represent my opinions was becoming lame

[@NICKtendoReviews]

Idk. Pan said he’ll try and edit it but I’m not sure if I’d go on again if they did a replacement episode

[@JustCallMeHeavy]

Why does everyone need a oc now? They are nearly always human or humanoid Or in your case, Pure *EVIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!* It's face eats your soul as you look at it!

[@JH-xc9we]

Nickelodeon has turned into the Nostalgia station. Too in love with their past and afraid of their future.

[@runningoncylinders3829]

If they feel like they have nowhere to go, then it could spell the downfall of the network. There's simply too much nostalgia plaguing popular media these days. That was the whole joke of South Park's Member Berries. They intentionally did it over and over to death.

[@wilderac2250]

They stopped trusting their future long ago. In the past 10!years nickelodeon new shows bite the dust almost immediately. With either failing ratings or something else(Outside of the loud House). They realize that their old stuff brings back their hype and they’re riding it for as long as it takes them, because that’s technically where the ratings are now. In fact they’re so scared about the new shows not getting ratings that they are willing to just put their new shows on Netflix (ie Pinky Malinky). Welcome to the Wayne went MiA after its first two weeks being weak in ratings, and even Bunsen is a beast got cancelled after one season.

[@crustpunkjesuschrist]

Spiriten XIII they hated their past for a long time, and I think they are just overcompensating

[@dddrrr3506]

+andykishore Yeah, Butch Hartman left, which led to the downfall and eventual discontinuation of Fairly OddParents, as well as the cancellation of Bunsen is A Beast.

[@harold5337]

Nick pander constantly pander to Nostalgia, even to shows that were mediocre or poor Cartoon Network neglect their past and heritage, forgetting their older much loved shows even exist. To put it to perspective, Nick celebrated Rocket Powers 20th anniversary, yet Cartoon Network did nothing for Ed,Edd n Eddy and Dexter's Laboratory. There needs to be a balance.

[@simariocrossing]

Honestly I'm extremely sick of the reboots nowadays. Original ideas are difficult, I understand that, but recreating the same concepts over and over again to cash in on nostalgia is getting old.

[@EDeeDeeS]

MoonStrike Ultra they're only bringing it back because rugrats was one nick's most popular shows of the 90's and early 00's, the exact same reason cn brought ppg back, just a another cash grab

[@simariocrossing]

Epiphany Scott Yeah I'm aware. I think that is where a lot of my problems with this sort of things come from. I already know it'll be horrible and low effort. Why? Because they're only in it for the cash and know people will aimlessly watch it without a thought. Maybe it'll be good, but I strongly doubt that. In my eyes they should just make more original toons and give newer creators a chance.

[@maakujiten3812]

MoonStrike Ultra What do you give new Creator's a chance on Nick? The channel where wacky ideas were ignored and passed on. The channel that still mess with long time Creator's. I'll admit Nick is getting better and some new ideas are getting the love that they deserve. But they're the exception not the rule.

[@theteamrpmgfs3901]

Who the hell cares about this reboot because it's not a reboot of Pokemon and beyblade or dbz or digimon

[@TheTundraTerror]

Creating new things is easy. No, the issue is not wanting to risk money on something that doesn't have a brand name.

[@McForkCoverup2005]

I'm getting flashbacks to the Fairly Oddparents live-action movie. If there is one thing, that could look creepier than a cgi fairy, it's a cgi baby.

[@123Yellowberry123]

Well, if it helps, I don't remember Poof looking too bad in CG.

[@Bowiemusiclover]

Cyrillus Crower Oh god now I have the image of those fairies in my head save me!

[@Amishmediagroup]

Hey, you gotta be thankful the FOP movie didn't reuse the models from the GameCube games. It seems like something Nick would do to cut costs.

[@dddrrr3506]

Well, Cosmo and Wanda were played by actors for a brief time.

[@amyrosefan926]

Watch, in 2022 there’s gonna be a Naked Brothers Band continuation or something

[@mechajay3358]

Hannabel Not likely. The brothers are pretty much busy in the movie business.

[@simariocrossing]

Hannabel Ned's Declassified Middle age crisis survival guide

[@wotintarnation8388]

And in 2024 we'd get a reunion of Big Time Rush

[@chuckjose9271]

SHHH dont give them ideas

[@runningoncylinders3829]

Zoey 2101, to be aired in the year 2101.

[@steventylerrocks8382]

Rugrats feels like a product of its time to me.

[@positionassume9101]

Unlike Spongebob, Simpsons or Family Guy, Rugrats is strictly a 90s product and can't work today. At least the other shows, despite not being as good as they used to be have staying power.

[@RyanStorey1231]

It's the same with Hey Arnold. While I'm happy that The Jungle Movie was finally made and I did like it, it did remind me of why this show wouldn't work today. It's rooted in 90s culture, and seeing how they had to shoehorn things like introducing cell phones and mention that beepers are obsolete just shows just how awkward it is to see this show in the 21st Century. And just look at the numbers: it didn't do very well. Why? Because kids have no idea who these characters are and it doesn't appeal to them compared to what they watch currently. Again, Rugrats and Hey Arnold are wonderful shows. But they were products of their time and there are some aspects that haven't aged very well. They should just stay in the 90s. This is exactly why The Simpsons lost steam eventually. Its entire existence is so rooted in 90s culture, but it's been on for so long that now it's in its own little bubble detached from the rest of the world in real life.

[@JudgeTyBurns]

As Chuckie himself would say, “I don’t think that’s such a good idea.”

[@princessaur]

Can we bring My Life as a Teenage Robot back for a movie please? I feel like Jenny would look really cool in CG if done right tbh.

[@goldylover1000]

Christina Hunt OH HELL YEAH seriously please make a movie of mlaatr and another season

[@Dafawfulizer]

Is it just me, or does this "reboot everything" mentality seem kind of elitist. From Smurfs to Alvin and the Chipmunks, people seem to act like "oh the kids NEED to have their own version of it," as if what they grew up with is automatically superior to anything original that might be made for kids now. I don't have a problem with introducing a newer generation to older properties, but it feels like some people are acting like anything made before the turn of the century is instantly more important than anything else.

[@Jonathanest90s]

Dafawfulizer it’s not a reboot, it’s a revival. It’s going to be a new season of Rugrats.

[@Amishmediagroup]

People have been doing that forever. If the parents actually wanted to show their kids the shows they enjoyed in their youth, they would buy the DVD sets or call Nick and ask for them to air on the NickToons Network or something. I think the case is that movie execs realize that parents will let kids see movies based on childhood franchises instead of new products because they're familiar. It's not because the parents miss the shows; it's that they know what it is so they're not afraid it's going to shock anyone.

[@train4292]

Nice too see you here!

[@Waxican]

Out of all home shows, they play pick Rugrats? Their character stories are completed, Hell we even got to see them grow up. I don’t want to watch 10 years of development again just because they want to make a quick buck.

[@kartoonfanatic]

That was my biggest argument against the PPG reboot--I'm sick of seeing these characters, they've had their story arcs completed. The special with the key to the city was meant to be a finale of sorts.

[@Matsu_Suzuki16]

Nickelodeon is becoming more greedy

[@crispybutterballs1294]

I feel a Rugrats live action remake is going to be filled to the brim with fart jokes and god awful references. I think it would’ve been an interesting idea to make the Rugrats as adults and maybe they have kids of their own. Maybe their kids are like the Rugrats and go on adventures as well. I mean, the whole turning kids into babies or adults into kids trend really should be dead, yet I feel it would be a nice revival for Rugrats. It shouldn’t have to be a series either. Even a small TV movie about the adult Rugrats would be satisfying. That’s just my opinion though.

[@EDeeDeeS]

I've loved rugrats with my whole heart for the past 20 years of my life, but no. Out of all the shows they could have brought back they chose rugrats? A show that ran for over 10 years and does not need a reboot whatsoever?

[@eatatjoes6751]

They did the PPG and it ran for six seasons and a movie.

[@nogidoki3325]

Cuase money boi ! They need to bring back views desperately! How you do that? ruin the childhood of the adults that used to watch the show. This is going to be a shitty reboot for sure,seeing the babies having some LSD in the reboot lol

[@EDeeDeeS]

bruh drake agreed, kids don't watch as much tv these days so theyre cashing in on the older generations nostalgia. I hope it's not terrible because I have loved rugrats my entire life, but I dont see anything else they could do with rugrats besides make them adults or something

[@EDeeDeeS]

Maridia Monroe and the ppg reboot is terrible, such a shame the original is one of my favorite cartoons ever, even now as a adult, and now theyre gonna do the same to rugrats. I'm tired

[@Spongebrain97]

Yeah I think its pretty dumb especially considering that by 2004, while the animation obviously improved, they clearly ran out of plot ideas and they went down the path fairly odd parents by adding new characters

[@Igorcastrochucre]

Dill, Kimi, Tommy and Chucky's new dogs, their babysitter Taffy, Kira, Harold, Samantha, there were really a lot of characters in the final years of Rugrats.

[@Darkcyndermaya]

Let's bring back a classic! But twist: CG nobody likes :D

[@jm82911]

I'd be okay with the movie if the CGI was like the Peanuts movie where it was like 2D 3D for the entire movie.

[@russellhunter363]

The characters in that movie were 2D but the backgrounds were 3D.

[@KaijaSchmauss]

Or the Captain Underpants movie where it felt like a good blend of the original books' style with newer CG animation. I'd be on board for a Rugrats move like that.

[@maxshapiro078]

Okay, WHY WHY WHY is the movie a live-action/CG hybrid? Do they have THAT little faith in traditional animation?

[@casualvanilla]

It's similar to how the new Lion King movie is going to be live-action. Completely pointless.

[@chuckjose9271]

the fact that a reboot of the original beauty and the beast has a new live action adaptation especially disney remaking more of their classics of animated films like the lion king and more WHY JUST WHY DISNEY AND VIACOM WHY DO REBOOTS AND REMAKES EXIST GIVE ME REASONS

[@Carlhero-ce2xq]

Cameron Dobson they've ran out of ideas

[@chuckjose9271]

see i told ya in other words DISNEY BE CREATIVE AND STOP REMAKING YOUR CARTOONS FOR MONEY PEOPLE ARE GETTING WISER BY NOW

[@runningoncylinders3829]

Maybe it's cheaper to animate one CG character than to make a fully-animated feature film? Maybe not. Live action movies based on cartoons are almost never good, usually a total swindle for families because artsy film buffs have entirely the wrong opinion on animation: it's a medium, not a genre, so it shouldn't be an Oscar category. Tangent aside, I have no expectations for this. If you're in the same boat, then don't watch it.

[@maxshapiro078]

Aw man. I was always on board with another Rugrats movie as a one-and-done type of thing, but we DO NOT need a whole reboot series.

[@brrgames]

I would take the revival series over the live action/animated movie any day. The idea of Rugrats getting a live action/animated movie is giving me some Son of the Mask vibes.

[@jackiegonzalez6814]

BRRGames agreed.

[@JudgeTyBurns]

BRRGames “Hello, mah baby!”

[@eatatjoes6751]

Not Son of the Chipmunks...

[@mania4270]

BRRGames but what if its good? I'm gonna see it because I'm a fan of the show but I do hope its good. hopefully like all rugrats movies, it's spoofing some thing

[@kikaturcios9758]

Its not a reboot its season 10 / revival

[@MajinWeabuu]

Originality is dead.

[@DrManhattan-l5x]

That couldn't be any further from the truth.

[@RB01.10]

SpingeBill HankHill Why's that ?

[@Gamesforus1]

Majin Weabuu Reboots have been happening for a LOOOOONNNNG time.... literal decades dude.

[@Amiri_Francis]

HELL ORIGINALITY ISNT EVEN IN THE DICTIONARY OF NICKELODEON ANYMORE

[@eatatjoes6751]

I'm starting to really hate the *introduce X to a NEW GENERATION* trend now because the inevitable NG they're shooting for often happens to be whiny defenders of the thing (PPG 2016, TTG, She-Ra, possibly Daria & Jodie, Thundercats Roar) and literally no one else wanted it in the first place. However, this could go one of two ways: they could go the All Grown Up route and have the OG Rugrats be adults, with the kids being the titular Rugrats or they could just...reboot the thing entirely *BECAUSE WHY NOT?!*

[@cordyceps7531]

Just give us the Invader ZIM movie already.

[@ThatWeirdoWhoMakesVideos]

Tbh I feel like the movie is in development hell until further notice

[@codeblack9407]

That Weirdo Who Makes Videos it will be out next year

[@giovanniorellana2200]

There's one show we won't get a reboot, and thankfully it's Ren and Stimpy.

[@d4148]

Giovanni Orellana we already did, it was on mtv. "Adult party cartoon"

[@austinj.jenkins2547]

andykishore i heard they were gonna do a short of ren and stimpy later on, but due to the john k. Issue, they chuck that out the window

[@Kanohoro]

I heard that they were going to have another Ren and Stimpy short to go before the third SpongeBob movie, much like the Pixar shorts, but that was before Jon K was exposed. Part of me isn't surprised that they cancelled it, but they must have put a lot of time and money into a half-finished cartoon. Much like Jon K's entire career after the new millennium.

[@austinj.jenkins2547]

HeWhoIsSadAndLonely thats what i was saying. Seeing how most of the ren and stimpy people are now working on spongebob. Also it was spike tv that crushed APC. John had a small part, but spike wanted to be like south park, so they made him write in extra dirty ideas onto the spinoff.

[@swishfish8858]

"John K exposed"? Someone enlighten a rock-living fish, please?

[@WilfredCthulu]

Ah!! I thought this was just Search for Reptar! Can I just have that instead? Plus, what the hell? The art style was a huge part of the original Rugrats' charm.

[@WilfredCthulu]

Mighty Raccoon It just made the show more funny.

[@ElectroBlastLuigi]

I didn't expect both of you here lol

[@nikkithompson854]

I noticed that shows in the 80's That have been rebooted have performed well like voltron, mlp, transformers, etc. And that shows from the 90's have been hit and miss so like you I'm very skeptical of the reboot is going to be successful. Like don't get me wrong I loved Rugrats as a child and an adult but cgi characters in a live action movie just gives me spongebob 2 shudders. And this is obv an attempt to cash grab those 90s kids but I'm hoping that they make the show welcome for new comers and not alienate viewers

[@mania4270]

TheImaginative Artist but remember its just a movie. the series is what I'm hyped for. Paul germain is back. he wrote the first 3 seasons, which are the best, so these new episodes will be fire

[@mania4270]

TheImaginative Artist also, everything is a cash grab. also. do some research. nick has been mentioning bringing the series back since 2012. they just wanted the full creative team back. now if nick pulled a power puff girls 2016, then thats a cash grab. but just because an old property gets brought back, doesn't mean its a cash grab. every thing in entertainment is a cash grab. nothing is put out for love. sure the writers do it for the love, but its also a business. rugrats was the biggest cartoon in the 90s, makes sense to revive it than let it sit there

[@ferricbro7847]

80s cartoons like the ones you referenced are more about the concept and relied on selling toys than telling stories, so any reboots of those shows had a lot more room to be a unique version of the franchise. 90s cartoons on the other hand were much more creator driven. Stories and characters were made specifically by the show's creator, because of their artistic vision. A reboot that captures the vision and feel that the original show was going for is incredibly more difficult. Even shows like Spongebob, which aren't even reboots, struggle to keep the vision and feeling that their own show had without the creator working closely on the show.

[@RyanStorey1231]

It's also worth noting that there are some shows from the 90s that should just stay in the 90s. I noticed this with Hey Arnold: The Jungle Movie. While I was super happy to see this movie finally get made and that it concluded a story arc that had been left hanging for over a decade, it did remind me why this show wouldn't work today. They had to really work around obvious things like cell phones being a thing instead of beepers. It was really awkward. Hey Arnold and Rugrats were great shows, but since they were slice-of-life shows set in the real world, there are things in the shows that date them to a modern audience. It just doesn't make sense to continue them today. These shows were built around the culture of the time period they were made in, and remaking them today wouldn't appeal to kids or the adults who grew up watching them the same way. 80s cartoons are easier because they were fantastical, which always ages better, and they were cheap toy commercials, so there was more room to improve things.

[@pheunithpsychic-watertype9881]

TheImaginative Artist yeah sure what about the alvin and the chipmunks reboot

[@Arson_Hole]

Great, first Teen Titans, then Blues Clues, and now Rugrats. Is there no end to my childhood's constant beating?

[@ec5179]

ikr feels like a knife 🗡 to the heart

[@phantom-pr6op]

If it's a reboot of Rugrats I'm not really interested. Rugrats and All Grown Up both felt like products of their times and should be left as is. Just run reruns. I'm not against reboots but I seriously don't see why Rugrats needs a reboot to begin with. Though I will admit, if you had the babies as adults and made the reboot about the kids of the kids that could be interesting if it keeps the same sort of humor and spirit that the original had. Set it in the modern day and you have a possibility for a few new ideas lol.

[@itheckinwindy]

Nick could have their cake and eat it too, going that route. They can bring back the older viewers who will appreciate the adult's perspective with the old characters, and new viewers can have brand new characters they can grow up with. They could easily replace the voice cast as well and it would totally make sense, since they're all adults now.

[@phantom-pr6op]

Doctor Evilface yeah! That sounds actually really cool xD

[@Pundit07]

Oh boy, here we go...

[@cierraprice246]

Making it CGI is completely unnecessary. 😒

[@majamystic256]

The only reboot i want to see would be anime styled serialized My life as a teenage robot reboot

[@mattboy5296]

Mystic System So like My Life as a Teenage Robot meets Avatar The Last Airbender? That sounds kinda good actually.

[@booklover4330]

Depending on how it's done. But yeah; My Life is a Teenage Robot was something that didn't seem as big as some other cartoons and seemed to have ended before it was ready, but even so it would be a old cartoon that people who are adults now will be like oh yeah I know that cartoon I watched it all the time! Or oh yeah I vaguely remember that cartoon, I watched it every now and then. Something like My Life as a Teenage Robot getting rebooted would make a little more sense, especially since there's a lot of untapped potential, but with something like Rugrats that had 10 seasons, like three movies and a spin off All Grown Up, it just doesn't need rebooted. (As much as I love Rugrats). Now if it was like Rugrats but the Rugrats are adults and have kids of their own and we are following their kids. (That would take time getting used to honestly) but at least that would be something a bit different if that's the way they plan on doing Rugrats. (Which I doubt it is).

[@goldylover1000]

Mystic System agreed

[@101Youfail]

Did this really need a reboot? I mean I wouldn’t mind if they rebooted something like Danny Phantom or MLAATR or even El Tigre but why the show that had 9 seasons to it? What is it with these networks rebooting shows that need it the least?

[@russellhunter363]

Nick should reboot a short-lived show like Making Fiends or El Tigre, at least it would give the creators a chance to tell more stories.

[@shwahgamer]

King DJ Danny Phantom is my favorite cartoon of all time. I don't want a reboot.

[@Jonathanest90s]

King DJ it’s not a reboot, it’s a new season.

[@goldylover1000]

King DJ agreed especially mlaatr and el Tigre I prefer those 2 cartoons over rugrats any day of the week bring on the flame wars everybody

[@101Youfail]

You know, I agree with you there, they’re pretty underrated. Especially El Tigre.

[@parforet6988]

Hollywood seems to be convinced that CGI animation is the only way to make money from animation.

[@MegaToonzNetwork]

What if they made a "True Story" movie about your life? Made it animated in CGI and have Tara Strong lend her voice to you?

[@theentangledwiggler-man2344]

I'm so sick of all these reboots. I just want these beloved franchises would be left alone. Reboots can work, the mst3k reboot isn't half bad, but that was a passion project, and this seems much more monetarily motivated.

[@captainimagination1110]

Is it bad that I'm more interested in your Danganronpa marathon?

I was HOPING someone would ask. Almost done with the Danganronpa 3 anime.

[@usermcskull4713]

PIEGUYRULZ Haven't seen it, but how are you enjoying the franchise so far?

[@simpsonsfanatic777]

Danganronpa 3, along with Ultra Despair Girls, are the low points of the series. I'm not sure if you've played V3 yet, but it's much better!

[@MajinWeabuu]

Danganronpa is hard to put down.

[@sketchyjulia]

They better let EG Daily voice Tommy. She already lost Buttercup it would suck if she also lost Tommy

[@yaoi2love]

To be honest, I don't hate the idea of rebooting old shows. Actually I think it's a great idea. There are a lot of shows out there that I enjoyed watching as a kid that I would love too see again. However at the same time I hate the direction that they are taken in. Teen Titans Go and Powerpuff Girls being some of the worst offenders. I tried showing my nieces and nephews the old versions of those shows and they told me how awful they thought the old ones were compared to the newer versions. I disagree of course and even though I know Rugrats will probably be bastardized, I look forward to seeing it. And if it comes out awful, well no harm done, I'm already an adult so a bad cartoon reboot won't affect me much. The only impact these reboots have on me personally is that my nieces and nephews will be pissed off at me because I will be changing the channel. Anyways thank you PieGuyRulz for keeping my updated on all the animation news that I need to sound intelligent when talking to other cartoon lovers. ^.^

[@blackoverblueskies6221]

These producers have to remember why it was canceled in the first place, Seasonal rot. What stories can be told that wasn't told 10+ years ago? "Tommy escapes 'child mode' on dad's tablet"

[@mechajay3358]

There is so many ways they can get right with this, and other ways this can go very wrong. Honestly I'm getting pretty tired of Studios rebooting a lot of classic shows lately and just banking on nostalgia.

[@Coolbert]

Yeah..... Jimmy Neutron Season 4 when? (Probably not anytime soon)

Honestly, if the Powerpuff Girls reboot didn't last, I doubt a CGI Rugrats will stand a chance unless the writing is strong enough to keep a teen or child audience. But I honestly can't really see a ton of kids watching this new Rugrats today. If adults watch it and love it and watch it with their kids then maybe it will have some audience, but like I said, I can't see it doing much better than the new Powerpuff Girls unless the writing is amazing.

[@DrManhattan-l5x]

And nothing of value will be lost.

[@kojikakoifish2862]

I cant think of anything creepier than seeing the Rugrats in live action.

[@MistbornTaylor]

*whispers* Nooooooooooooo

[@hankboog462]

I wish they would pull a Roger Rabbit and blend live action with the rugrats 2D style

[@runningoncylinders3829]

Since the Rugrats are human I agree, they'd look much less out of place in 2D than as 3D creepazoids. Roger Rabbit is awesome, they'll never hit that level with this project because it's a cheap cash grab.

[@hankboog462]

Runningon Cylinders unfortunately, you're right. But they would still look less out of place in 2D, at least doing something on the level of space jam or the original spongebob movie (yes, I know neither of those had humans in 2D, but they're still good examples of what could've been, even for a cash grab)

[@runningoncylinders3829]

Hank Boog I think they at least had Elmer Fudd. He'd have looked worse in CG I'd imagine or as an actor.

[@hankboog462]

Runningon Cylinders true, and Yosemite Sam

[@mattm2451]

Omg I love Dangaronpa, also great video

[@maplewing_]

I think As Told By Ginger deserves a continuation/reboot. That show was so ahead of its time and alot of the themes are still relevant today. Thats one show i wouldnt mind having a 2010s culture in it with social media and whatnot; it just makes sense.

[@NeoKokoro20]

I agree with you about the movie. I'm looking forward to the revival series though. Rugrats was one of my favorite cartoons growing up.

[@NeoKokoro20]

How do you know? But yes, you're right about that. Don't get me wrong, I did enjoy the first three seasons, but I felt the later ones had more interesting episodes, Angelica was more likable (I couldn't stand her in the first three seasons), I liked Kimi, and overall, they were more fun. The only complaints I ever really see about the later seasons is Flanderization of the baby talk and the reduced hidden adult jokes, which aren't really a big deal to me.

[@brianlevine871]

I like the idea you mentioned about Tommy and co. as adults and having their own kids. That's the only way I could see a "Rugrats" revival work and it would be nice to see how much these beloved characters have grown, kind of like what "All Grown Up" did with them as preteens (even if I didn't care for that show). Outside of that, no. While I'm okay with reboots/revivals of older properties, they need to have a good reason for bringing back said property aside from money and nostalgia. Or screwing with their own IPs like how CN is handling their biggest ones. If it's something that wasn't able to finish a storyline, like "Samurai Jack" and "Hey Arnold," then a revival is necessary to conclude them. If somebody has an interesting idea for a reboot of an older series, like "Ducktales" or "Ninja Turtles," then feel free to make it. Just make sure it works both on its own and as a part of said franchise. "Rugrats" already ran its course and it doesn't need more episodes, let alone another show. And I don't even want to think about that 'movie' they're making.

[@toonjay7232]

Paul Germaine is coming back to the show after he left after the third season of the original show. He never liked Dil so maybe that's why he isn't mentioned. Not sure what he thinks on Kimi though.

[@simpsonsfanatic777]

I guess you could say, the news of this reboot filled pieguyrulz with despair!

[@krisrp0]

why do they need to make a live action movie with cg characters? They were able to make three fully animated movies in the past

[@casualvanilla]

Because it's what's trending. Have you heard of Disney's new Lion King? It's live-action even though there are no humans.

[@axolotl2686]

" It's live-action even though there are no humans." In that case it's not live-action,just animated very realistically.......

[@thearchives6197]

Talk about the fortnite show on Disney XD

[@zetamagnus101]

I totally agree, if they want to make a movie, just animate it in 2-D. I just hope they don't mess this up.

[@Zim999]

It's times like this I'm glad they are giving Invader Zim a movie which might like lead to a continuation.

[@invaderpez12]

Ah, glad to see PieGuy is a DingleRumpus fan

[@smokesterify]

Shows that could come back: Invader Zim (sorta coming back, but it's just one movie) Wander Over Yonder (a recent one, but it got canned and the people behind it still had stories left to tell) Dan Vs. (canned, I feel it could've easily gone on another few seasons) Gravity Falls (I wouldn't want this to come back, but if it did, there's definitely enough material to make new stories with it) Hey Arnold (it got a really good run and a movie to end things off, but if it did come back, it probably wouldn't suck) The Flintstones (I would actually love to see a reboot for this. It's old enough and hasn't aged very well, unlike most reboots it would actually make sense to reintroduce it to a new audience)

[@SgtTwilight]

There was a Rugrats reboot a few months ago in comic form. I actually recommend them! They're one of the few comics I read regularly anymore and they're really fun.

[@awesomegnat2065]

I see no ways making a 2D show into a 3D show could go bad. No way at all.

[@sarcasticallysardonic6361]

I'm so happy this is back.

[@RyanStorey1231]

There are some shows from the 90s that should just stay in the 90s. I noticed this with Hey Arnold: The Jungle Movie. While I was super happy to see this movie finally get made and conclude a story arc that had been left hanging for over a decade, it did remind me why this show wouldn't work today. They had to really work around obvious things like cell phones being a thing instead of beepers. It was really awkward. Hey Arnold and Rugrats were great shows, but since they were slice-of-life shows set in the real world, there are things in the shows that date them to a modern audience. It just doesn't make sense to continue them today.

[@gerawallstar3487]

This is going to sound off topic, but does anyone remember when Hannah Barbara did The Jetsons reboot version in the 80s? It was basically a kid-friendlier version of the 1960s show. Thankfully, it wasn't all that bad as reboots like TTG, and PPG(2016) are. Unfortunately, the sole purpose of the reboot at the time was to make money, and sell toys, just like the reboots we have nowadays. With this upcoming Rugrats reboot, I am hoping to god that the quality will still be good, although I doubt it. Probably be another nostalgia cash-in. However, I have no hopes for the live action film of this.

[@thenostalgicyoshi7149]

I personally enjoyed the show when I was younger, and I'm all for CGI but I'm still a bit skeptical about it. Firstly I don't really trust reboots. Yeah some of them aren't terrible, but they heavily ruin the shows that ARE, like Teen Titans, PPG and the Magic School Bus. I'd rather show the older show to the future generation rather than having them lose faith in the franchise as a whole because they only know the NEW shows (if it ends up sucking). And second, I really hope they don't cut off characters. Unless they end up making the original kids adults, that would be the only logical way to cut off characters. But if they don't end up doing that, it's very likely to become a disaster if they cut off characters. If the original Rugrats have kids of their own, THOSE kids can be the main characters and I think that's the only way they can bring an original Rugrats vibe to it (unless of course they ruin it). Finally, I'm surprised Nickelodeon wanted TWENTY SIX episodes for it AND a movie. It is a bit much for a revival, I'd wait for a successful point to make this much. Maybe thirteen episodes to start off instead of twenty six. Overall, I'm afraid they're going to ruin the franchise (since the spinoffs weren't well received). The original will always be in my heart though.

[@CassiCalamity]

N O

[@TheDirectMessenger88]

The new Rugrats needs Devo on the soundtrack. (I'm going to explain the joke now, because it probably wasn't funny to begin with. Mark Mothersbaugh, member of Devo, was a composer for the rugrats' music)

[@piggybankvillan]

R.I.P. Rugrats

[@NerdigansInc]

i am more hyped for my life is a teenage robot's return! it ended waaay to soon

[@goldylover1000]

Nerdigans Inc. where did you hear it's officially returning

[@carmacharmella2769]

My Life As A Teenage Robots getting a reboot?

[@benny25162]

12:57. Milked dry? Nice pun, Pieguy. 😂

[@RaidPirateGaming]

I hope this live action movie doesn't happen. Omg. Just reading about it made me cringe. I don't think this will succeed in the long run. I know a lot of people wanted Rugrats back on the air, but no one I can recall actually wanted it back in production. This is a series that got so stale they had to make a spinoff which was, to put nicely, boring. I just don't know anyone who was calling for new episodes, so I don't see this getting much hype for it to live long.

[@goldm3513]

D-d-d-danganronpa

[@Samsapopin]

The only reason why I could see them do CG for the movie is mainly for Chuckie. No baby or human in real life has a weird shaped nose like his or even the crazy orange hairdo. Other than that, the movie sounds as bad of an idea as the upcoming Sonic movie that's also coming from Paramount. The new series I'm down for,... IF my TV service still had Nickelodeon.

[@sega-megadeth1276]

The revival series has potential, but the movie sounds completely awful.

[@zzcolby27]

They'll come to steal your soul while dabbing in the process

[@OptimusPhillip]

The Michael Bay Transformers film series is over. We're getting a spinoff movie by a new director, but after that there are no new movies planned

[@chuckjose9271]

thank god but still Micheal bay is a god awful director allright

[@Amishmediagroup]

They'll probably make another one after Bumblebee. Just you watch. I think Age of Extinction made a ton of money. Never saw how Transformers V performed.

[@OptimusPhillip]

The Icystorm 9 When Last Knight came out, they were already planning on a sixth movie, and possibly more. However, those projects have since been cancelled, likely due to the harsh reception Last Knight got

[@jerrymations2926]

Rugrats is one of my faveret shows

[@MaxineLunaZorua]

Yeah you bring up the point what about Kimi and Dil? I don't want see Kimi and Dil origins again. Can't they just be there?

[@dillon1012]

the thumbnail reminds me of that one game i played in which the designs of certain characters (especially the parents) were creepy as heck. they did do well given the constraints of 2mb of memory though. I hope this revival doesnt ruin my childhood.

[@AudraBurgess]

I remember the creators once said they wanted to see the babies grown up with their own kids

[@vestonbruno2795]

Another thing, as much as I like to see Stu Pickles again, I hope Nickelodeon doesn't recast him and instead retire his character, and possibly Grandpa Lou too.

[@isetmfriendsofire]

2:34 "That's an odd statement, but sure" lmao

[@DigiRangerScott]

Using My Life as a Teenage Robot as a hypothetical comeback is weird because Rob Renzetti is currently at Big City Greens, a show that just started airing a month ago

In the entertainment industry, quantity has a quality of it’s own.

[@TJ-ce1lz]

I'm here from the future to say the Rugrats movie has been cancelled

[@housinengi9512]

pieguyrule:its not like they can have the characters grow up right? Um they did that already with all grown up so that based been covered

[@Waxican]

Man they’re really running out of ideas, aren’t they.

[@ec5179]

Waxican seems like it lol

[@Amiri_Francis]

Or artists wouldn’t work for them since they heard about how shows get mistreated by the network

[@MrMike855]

It feels like too much time has passed between Rugrats (and its attempted spinoffs) for this to really work. The original was cancelled in 2004, the Tales from the Crib released its last DVD in 2006, All Grown up was cancelled in August 2008, Preschool Daze was cancelled in December 2008 (after flopping) and I hardly ever remember Rugrats being rerun on Nick since then. Granted, I haven't watched Nick since about 2012-13, but I never remembered seeing Rugrats or All Grown Up after around that time. Nostalgia is really all its got at this point, as I can't imagine many kids who watch Nick would even know this show (unless they had a particular interest in 90s cartoons) and changing it to CGI (which isn't needed at all) wouldn't exactly bring back much memories. It isn't like Scooby Doo, which has been introduced from generation to generation. Just a few years back, it almost seemed like Rugrats was falling into the sands of time. Also, with regards to the Powerpuff Girls, it felt like it was rerun much more often and much more recently than Rugrats.

[@marvinthemaniac7698]

Remember that Flintstones reboot rant video from 7 years ago? I'm starting to feel the same way about this Rugrats reboot.

[@Akrenix]

I bet this: CG Characters meet live action characters and then go on crazy adventures. JUST LET IT BE TOO DEE

[@blobbertmcblob4888]

Honestly I think a better idea for any sort of Rugrats reboot would be, to have the "babies" Tommy, Chuckie, Phil, Lil, and Angelica be adults, married with young babies of their own. And have their kids basically get into the same shenanigans that the main gang did.

[@demontamerbf18]

When someone says live action with CG I immediately have PTSD flashbacks to the Smurfs, Alvin and the Chipmunks and Garfield

[@Jfam11638]

I’m sure you’re at least aware that the CG from the thumbnail is from Rugrats: Search for Reptar on the PS1, right? No offense, but it seems kinda misleading to put that there.

[@casualvanilla]

I think that's actually the Rugrats in Paris for the N64. Models look smoother than the PS1. God, that game was horrible.

[@Amishmediagroup]

He knows that, definitely. He plays a ton of Nickelodeon licensed games. Look at his LP channel and you'll see what I mean.

[@Miyu88]

Having a continuation of the series where we follow the adventures of the kid of the original characters would be cool to see. I'd like to see it. We could get a glimpse of how their kids look and act apart from their parents.
