WHAT Is Going On With The 2021 Rugrats Reboot?

[chrism_]

I don't like how they've got Susie being manipulated by Angelica now. Such a big part of her role in the original series was being the anti-Angelica who protected the babies from Angelica's schemes.

Susie and Kimi switching ages is surreal.

KIMMI’s OG voice actress is completely blind. Did anyone know that? All of her scripts are in Braille. As someone with a visual impairment myself, I thought learning that about her was cool!!! She got a role in an amazing franchise.

I still think they should've just made a sequel to All Grown Up where we see the OG Rugrats deal with life as adults and parents of the new Rugrats. That'll attract the parents who grew up with the show and make the kids watch it with them

[rennisanctuary]

i think the only downside to the new animation style is that everything feels so dark !! the og cartoon was soooo vibrant and weirdly colored it added so much character. this new style has zapped some of that away due to just the lighting. its my main complaint, i even find it kind of distracting which is weird cuz i can usually overlook stuff like that

[VampirePrinceKRS]

I didn't even realize they made Susie younger until people started mentioning it. I just figured she was hanging with the younger kids more since she always liked them better than Angelica.

[Nightmank]

I don't mind the artstyle, but the weird changes to the voices and the continuity are what made me not interested. They should have just had them all aged up to a year and a half (to have them all in slightly different scenarios) and maybe followed Dill and with a group of babies his age to still keep it Rugrats-y.

In my opinion I would much prefer a whole original show that takes inspiration from Rugrats or reboot the Rugrats with an all new cast of characters to make it feel like it's own universe separate from the original classic.

[Psyducks-headache]

Kimi was such a good influence on Chuckie. He felt that he had to be the big brother he needed to be, which helped him to be brave at times. On top of that there were so many sweet sibling moments between the two that it made me forget they weren't actually related by blood. So taking that completely away is just... No thanks. For me anyway. There's so many confusing changes for seemingly no reason... If anyone enjoys this show, that's awesome. By all means, continue enjoying it. But for me personally who grew up with the original that ended in the mid '00s... This Rugrats is just no longer canon to me lol. That's just how I feel anyway. The show's not for my generation anymore 😂

[Kathrynerius]

It's tripping me up so much what they did with Suzie and Kimi's ages/relations to the babies.

[Silentgrace]

Oh geez, they absolutely butchered Kimi’s character model.

If they want to retcon her as a separate entity and a bit older? Fine. But don’t just mimic her 2d model then put it in a stretch tool. Fine tune it to make it fit and move better given the context.

[jamie]

You convinced me. I'm not watching it.

We made Susie feel stupid and we took out Kimi/aged her up so Angelica gets a non-threat. Seems sus to me.

[rednefarious]

God the whole thing feels like a fever dream. Not even too bad just so weird and warped.

I loved the original series as they were a part of my childhood as a kid growing up in the 90’s. This reboot however…it lost me when they made Grandpa Lou a hippie, the Twins lose their father and have Susie and Kimi swap ages. The dynamic of Susie vs Angelica feels lost in this reboot. Talk about be careful with what you wish for moments as there is always a downside to it all…

[Mordgp]

Wouldn't it have made more sense to have a "Rugrats: The Next Generation" thing going, where the parents are the OG babies and the New Rugrats are their kids? The time frame would make more since, they were born in the early 90s, they would have grown up into a digital age and by now be in their 30s.
When I found out they tried to fix it so the parents were basically born in the 90s it felt wrong. Why is grampa a hippy, he wasn't a hippy in the original and it doesn't make since to make him a hippy now. Why is Dill and Lils mom gay (I hear) just beacuse she was tough and her husband was kinda meak didn't mean she was gay and he was her beard or what ever. The babies should have grown into adults and still been friends, allowing their kids to be friends.

I can't be the only one who thought this?

[KingDuken]

Something about 3D animation and having every single character having a single black dot as their eye color is super uncanny.

[mechajay]

Kimi's look highlights the major issue I have with the reboot's CG look. It just does not mesh well with the show's art style.

[cheshire]

Glad to finally see Kimmi back, but unfortunately her original actress Isn't gonna comeback reprising real soon since she now retired.

"I'll always have the original so this reboot can't hurt me."
Me: *Unable to watch even the original powerpuff girls because the reboot won't stop haunting me.*

"I Dream of Duffy"
Basically that same episode where Angelica learned how to speed-dial food from Grandpa Lou.
Was a good episode because as a smol I didn't understand how credit cards worked and that everything Angelica ordered would eventually have to be paid for.
Cool reviews
