Storyline

Wishes come true in this movie, and love makes its way into the hearts of those young, old, and overseas. Chuckie's dad, Chaz (Michael Bell), starts dating again, and it's Chuckie's wish to find a new mom. When Stu Pickles (Jack Riley) is summoned to Reptarland, an amazing new amusement park in Paris, to work on his Reptar invention, Tommy (Elizabeth Daily), Chuckie (Christine Cavanaugh), Angelica (Cheryl Chase), Phil (Kath Soucie), Lil (Kath Soucie), Dil (Tara Strong), Didi (Melanie Chartoff), and the whole gang tag along to the city of romance. But the Rugrats' big adventure turns out to be more than glamor, fashion, and smelly cheese. Chuckie learns that when it comes to Princesses and potential mommies, things are not always what they seem, and for Chaz, finding the right woman can be difficult in any language. As the Rugrats' travels take them from the Eiffel Tower to Notre Dame and everywhere in-between, the world's favorite babies learn new lessons about courage, loyalty, trust...

Goofs

When Kira first calls Stu to tell him to come to Paris, the clock next to him says it's 3:03. Upon accidentally picking up the baby bottle, the clock is out of frame, and when it cuts back to it when he picks up the phone, it says it is 3:00.

Crazy Credits

At the start of the film after the Paramount logo, there's a Nickelodeon Movies bumper with a man outside with his dog raking a big pile of leaves. He falls down to the ground when the Nickelodeon logo collapses his house. The Eiffel Tower can be seen in the bumper too

Alternate Versions

The DVD version has two alternate endings that explain what happened to Coco now that Chaz married Kira:

• Alternate ending 1: Coco still works at Euro-Reptarland in "Ooey-Gooey World" and it ends with slime falling on Coco.
• Alternate ending 2: Coco works at the "Perfume P.U." plant where she tests deodorizers on people with smelly armpits and the segment ends with Coco's henchman telling her to test the foot powers, in which she eventually faints.

User Reviews

They did it again. I laughed, I cried and you will too; if you have a heart.

It is a pleasant surprise when a movie meets your expectations; it's a great gift when a movie exceeds them. "Rugrat in Paris: The Movie" does just that. Being a sequel usually means a movie has one strike against it. Not only does it have the predecessor to live up to, but it needs to still seem fresh and new. The rugrats movies had the almost decade old series to live upto. The first one was a ruckus affair reminding one of the early years of the series. It was a total triumph. To maintain the high standards of both the series and the first movie would require some hot writing and a big payoff. Both are present in the newest edition to the rugrats saga. The story is a heart warming touching story, the songs that make of the sound track are just fantastic. Even if you are not a parent this movie will be one of your favorites of 2000.
