In the new spinoff, Tommy has purple hair. Also, similar to Susie's talent for singing, Tommy also has a new-found talent: making films with his camcorder. A few episodes have been made around this fact: "Truth or Consequences" (first US tx: November 30, 2003), which also revealed he made his first film at the age of 37 months, had him making a negative film about his friends; the main storyline of "Brother, Can You Spare The Time?" (first US tx: January 17, 2004) opened with him mentioning recently winning a young filmmaker's award; and one ...

One of the original five main characters introduced in Rugrats, Chuckie has uncontrollable red hair, glasses and bucked teeth, and is left-handed, as revealed in "Chuckie's a Lefty" (first US tx: February 19, 1999). Chuckie commonly wears a blue shirt with Saturn on it, green shorts, and red shoes with untied shoelaces. He is scared easily, but is still friends with Tommy Pickles and the DeVille twins. Among his fears are adventures, Santa Claus, clowns, and the "guy on the oatmeal box" (a parody of Quaker Oats). He is loyal and often ...

In a live-action production, voice actors may be called upon to read the parts of computer programs (Douglas Rain; Majel Barrett), radio dispatchers (Shaaron Claridge), or characters we never actually see on a show who give instructions by telephone (John Forsythe in Charlie's Angels) or mailed recording (Bob Johnson in Mission: Impossible). It is not unusual to find amongst the ranks of voice actors people who also act in live-action film or television, or on the stage. For those actors, voice acting has the advantage of offering acting work without having to both ...

Angelica's physical features and clothing on Rugrats were blonde hair with 2 pigtails (each punctuated with a large purple bow), a red-and-black-striped shirt with flared cuffs, a purple jumper, blue tights with green dots, red socks, and purple sneakers. In some early episodes she also wore diapers. She is an only child -- as a result, she has become a very spoiled child whose parents tend to her every need and give her anything she wants without cease. Her parents--Drew and Charlotte-- are hardly ever around because of their jobs, which in ...

Rugrats was created by the then husband and wife duo of Gabor Csupo (pronounced Chew-poh) and Arlene Klasky in 1989 along with Paul Germain. They were inspired by the antics of their then infant children, which they found humourus, it was one of three pitches to popular children's cable channel Nickelodeon, which was planning on commisioning their own animated series, which would later be called "Nicktoons". They produced a pilot, "Tommy Pickles And The Great White Thing", which was directed by Peter Chung, later of Aeon Flux fame. The produ ...

In Rugrats, Chuckie was one of the most popular characters, as he represented a timid boy who had many challenges before him, and, despite his fear, would always overcome them. He was a truly original character that had a lot of potential story-wise. His character was greatly explored throughout the series, eventually culminating in him being the focus of the Mother's Day episode (where the fate and identity of his mother, Melinda, was finally revealed) as well as the second Rugrats movie Rugrats in Paris, where he not only gained a new stepmother and ste ...

Angelica's absence from All Grown Up!'s first Christmas special (first US tx: December 7, 2004) was seen as controversial, for two reasons: one, both of Rugrats' Christmas specials had plotlines which were centered on her, and two, all the other regular characters on the show (including Susie, who mentioned that she was gone on vacation in Aspen) were in that episode. ...

Since he got older, Chuckie has been wearing braces for his teeth (which is expected to be for "2.5 years", according to Chuckie's statement in the pilot for All Grown Up!). He still considers Tommy his best friend. Notable storylines for Chuckie have included his crush on Nicole Boscarelli, dropped after the first season ("Chuckie's in Love" and "It's Cupid, Stupid", first US txs: December 6, 2003 and February 14, 2004); partnering with Angelica on a social-studies project ("Project Chuckie", first US tx: November 27, 2004); entering ...

After the show's revival in 1997 (and especially after the first movie), the show, though still making occasional culture references, began relying on more bizarre and outlandish plots, and more reliant on gross-out/toilet humor, especially with the addition of Dil to the cast. The show also seemed to have changed its animation to a much brighter style. Two things which many of the show's older fans also found annoying in particular were the show's increased use of baby talk (such as "diapey" for "diaper", for the most obvious example) and r ...

For much of the history of North American animation, voice actors had a predominantly low profile as performers, with Mel Blanc the major exception. Over time, many movie stars began performing voice acting roles in movies, with one of the earliest examples being The Jungle Book, which counted among its cast contemporary stars such as Phil Harris, Sebastian Cabot, and Louis Prima. The film which truly brought about this modern perception, however was Aladdin which was marketed with a noted emphasis on Robin Williams' role. The ...

The series has a very vague setting. It has been shown that the Rugrats, as it is probably assumed, live in the United States, and although the name of a specific city or state is never mentioned, an early episode shows the flag of California flying at a post office, so it may be assumed that the show takes place there. The best guess as to which region of the country in which the series takes place is somewhere in the southwest, since the family has taken trips to both the Grand Canyon and Las Vegas, and Stu once mentioned "driving through ...

Besides All Grown Up! there were plans for two other spinoffs that never made it to air: The Carmichaels was planned to see Susie move away from California to Atlanta, where she apparently has relatives. There were plans to make The Carmichaels into a series as early as the 1999-2000 TV season, but plans involving the toddler Rugrats had put the new series' plans on ice. Subsequently, when plans for All Grown Up! and Angelica and Susie's School Daze (below) came up, concerns for continuity led ...

Although she has grown up, Angelica continues to be mean and spoiled. Since turning 13 (see below) has been doing many stereotypical "teen things" like getting a cell phone, pursuing boys, and getting the latest trends in fashion. Also, she still constantly rivals Susie, mostly at singing. One of Angelica's most important storylines was when she turned 13 in "Lucky 13", and had many things to deal with: an obligation to invite the other kids to her birthday party, and a popular teenager, Savannah, organizing a spring bash to lure away any other potential party-goers. Savannah has since warmed up to Angelica, even ...
