Paramount Pictures has confirmed the development of a new Rugrats movie, offering a nostalgic revisit to the beloved animated series from the ’90s. The upcoming film will feature a hybrid of live-action and animation, providing a fresh take on the iconic adventures of the toddler gang that includes Tommy Pickles, Chuckie Finster, Angelica Pickles and twins Phil and Lil DeVille.
Directed by Jason Moore, best known for his work on Pitch Perfect, the movie will bring new life to the classic series. The screenplay is being written by Mikey Day and Streeter Seidell, adding their comedic flair to the beloved characters. Details about the release date or the cast have not been announced.
Originally created by Arlene Klasky, Gábor Csupó and Paul Germain, Rugrats first aired in 1991 and ran for nine successful seasons until 2004. In 2021, the series was revived with a reboot, reintroducing the characters to a new generation of viewers. Over the years, Rugrats also inspired three animated films—1998’s The Rugrats Movie, 2000’s Rugrats in Paris: The Movie and 2003’s Rugrats Go Wild.
The Rugrats franchise, cherished for its imaginative storytelling and endearing characters, continues to be an enduring piece of childhood for many. As details for the new movie emerge, fans eagerly await to see how this iconic group of toddlers will return to the big screen in a new format.
