Pickles. And poor Tommy and Chuckie can't seem to get the "growed-ups'"
attention anymore. So what's a baby to do? Find out in this humorous yet
touching story about how Tommy begins to accept his new role as a big brother.

dimension and surrounded by aliens!
It's Chanukah, that special time of year, and Chuckie, Angelica, and
Tommy are ready to see Grandpa Boris in the annual pageant. But there's

Rugrats
in Paris Movie Storybook by Kiki Thorpe, Sergio Cuan (Illustrator)
If there's one thing in the world that little Rugrat Chuckie wants,
it's a new mommy. His dad, Chas, agrees, and starts dating.
"What are dates?" Chuckie asks the other babies.
"Big raisins that make you poop," his friend Phil tells him.
With that cleared up, Chuck and Chas continue the search. But it isn't
until their friend Stu is called to Paris to fix the dinosaur-like Reptar
he designed, and invites everyone along, that things really get interesting.
Will Chuck and Chas end up with Madame Coco LaBouche, the fiendish head
of Reptarland, or the lovely princess of Reptarland? Or perhaps someone
entirely different? One thing is certain; surrounded by volcanoes ("bowlcanoes"),
doorknobs that turn into dragons, and ninja security guards, the Rugrats
will have their fill of adventures before this Parisian trip is over.
Perplexing (if not downright inane) to the adult eye, the Rugrat stories,
based on the Nickelodeon TV series and the Rugrats in Paris movie, have
a tremendous appeal to young children. And if the movie tie-in books--Rugrats
in Paris: A Dream Come True, Rugrats in Paris: Babies in Reptarland, and
>, Rugrats in Paris: Joke Book --can encourage kids to make the transition
from watching TV to reading, more power to 'em! (Preschool to age 6) --Emilie

Rugrats:
Runaway Reptar VHS (1991)
At the drive-in, the diaper set learns their beloved Reptar has turned
to evil in his latest movie. So while Grandpa's distracted by his war film
on one screen, the kids leap into the action on the other. When refrigerator
magnets stick to the once-friendly Godzilla clone, the kids figure out
the reason why a gleeful Angelica has declared that Reptar has "turned
naughty." The manipulative kindergartner has created a metal replica to
carry out her devious plans. But Tommy and Chuckie and their baby siblings,
aided by the Carmichael kids, persevere through volcanic lava, vehicle
mishaps, and a menacing pteranodon to save the day in this 45-minute episode.
The 12-minute "Chuckie's Complaint" continues the Reptar-fest, when the
bespectacled tot takes issue with the dinosaur's cereal commercial and
writes a letter of complaint, only to have to face the prehistoric beast
in person when the moms decide to take the kids to meet him at the mall.
Don't worry, it ends with a group hug. (Ages 3 and older) --Kimberly Heinrichs

The
Rugrats Discover America VHS
During a Pickles family barbecue, the backyard becomes the setting
of "Reptar Tours in Discover America," the first of four episodes on this
video. Imaginations run wild as Chuckie, Tommy, Phil, and Lil set off to
find a "zoominer" (a neat present that comes from a faraway place, not
from a store) for Dil. Tour guide Lil is quick to point out interesting
places like "Graham Canyon" and "Pile of Rockies." The gang's take on each
of these locations is quite amusing. A simple trip to the local garden
center takes a turn for the wild side in "The Jungle." Grandpa wants to
plant soybeans, saying, "you can make anything out of soybeans; you can
make corn out of soybeans." But Mom Pickles wants to plant flowers. With
the grownups preoccupied, the gang takes off on a wild jungle adventure.
Suspecting that Dil has fallen victim to "Jungle Beaver" (jungle fever),
they must get him to safety. But first they must outwit a pesky lion (actually
a poodle) and the "Latin hyenas." When Chuckie's beloved Reptar Jr. gets
put in the basement by mistake, the gang must rescue him in "Journey to
the Center of the Basement." They encounter all sorts of obstacles: a pile
of old newspapers becomes a pyramid of an ancient civilization; a mouse
takes on huge proportions. The twins announce that this is the scariest
"denture" they've ever been on. A trip to the Renaissance Faire is the
setting for "Faire Play." They escape from "Ye Olde Daycare" on a quest
to find the Good Knight. When Stu's homemade dragon runs amok, there's
only one thing that can save him... Reptar. When Phil kisses a frog, Reptar
appears to save the day. It's fun to see how Rugrat logic works. The clever
writing make for a lot of laughs for children as well as adults. Since
it's broken into four separate cartoons, you can watch this one-hour video
in sections or straight through. This is one you'll watch again and again.
