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...

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

The decline continues

Rugrats in Paris, where can I start.... well, it's kinda like the first film, the fact that it's not a terrible movie, but certainly not a masterpiece either.

First off, the only good bits are the Godfather Parody at the start, and I must say, it's a good parody, and some well scripted lines, thats where the good stuff stops, and if you wanna expect a good film, stop reading now.

The bad points are that the movie has crappy animation, some bad voice acting, and crappy designs, thats all the bad points.

Other than that, it's a relativly enjoyable experience, and you just might like it.

Overall: 6/10
