Rugrats Go Wild (2003)

Rugrats meet The Wild Thornberrys in this Nickelodeon crossover adventure that features characters from both of the wildly popular animated series. The Pickles family of RUGRATS decides to take a jungle cruise vacation that ends up in disaster. Shipwrecked on a seemingly deserted island the babies are separated from their parents and must fend for themselves under the leadership of Tommy Pickles (the voice of E.G. Daily). Unbeknownst to Tommy his idol--naturalist and television explorer Sir Nigel Thornberry (Tim Curry)--is also on the island with his family to film a documentary on the rarely seen white leopard Siri (rocker Chrissie Hynde). Lost in the jungle the young RUGRATS kids meet the Thornberry daughters Debbie (Danielle Harris) and Eliza (Lacey Chabert) whose magical ability to talk to animals makes it possible to converse with Spike (Bruce Willis) the Pickles family dog. But Spike has lost his sense of smell thanks to jungle allergies and isn't much help in finding their way--he bumbles along cracking crude jokes with the help of the film's special interactive scratch-and-sniff "Odorama" feature. Hysterical but witless Spike is no match for the leopard Siri and soon everyone is in danger of becoming her next meal as they race around the jungle in search of their parents. Devo frontman Mark Mothersbaugh composed the film's original score which includes the duet "Big Bad Cat" sung by Hynde and Willis.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: CHILDREN/FAMILY UPC: 097363405245 Manufacturer No: 340524 Product Description

great

like any rugrats movie my 2yr old loves it theres alot of action but i did not like it when spyke talked February 14, 2007

Good fun for all the family

I got his movie for my two little nieces because I knew they would love it and they did, and so did I! This is a delightful and fun filled movie where the Wild Thornberries and the Rugrats meet up in an adventure of a lifetime.

Stranded on a tropical island after their boat capsizes, the Rugrats and their families have to survive in an environment to which they are not at all suited too but help is at hand in the guise of the Wild Thornberries who just happen to be in the area on one of their jaunts.

The adults squabble and bicker (but they all make up and work together when the children are in danger) whilst the Rugrats lurch from one crazy adventure to the next and we are treated to Spike the dog speaking for the first time (Bruce Willis) because everyone knows that Eliza Thornberry has a wonderful secret, she can speak to animals and they understand her and can speak back!

It's a nice movie because it brings together two great animated series, it also is a fun film that young kids can watched and be enthralled with, that is what I like about it the most, it is an enjoyable cartoon romp for the whole family. October 29, 2006

Why No Scratch & Sniff Cards With The DVD?!?

This is a review of this product: Rugrats! Go Wild DVD. Amazon may display this review on the page of another version of this product, for which this review may not apply. After reading this review, please click on the link so that you can be assured that the product this review applies to is the same one you thought it was for.
--------------------------------------------------

The Scratch & Sniff options on the DVD relate to the "Odorama" stunt used during the film's original theatrical release. Special numbered cards, each representing a particular smell, were available with kids' meals at participating Burger King restaurants from 6/2/2003 to 6/29/2003, and separately at Blockbuster Video stores from 6/15/2003 until supplies ran out.

Participants picked up the cards, then took them to the local movie theater showing the film. When a particular number flashed on the screen, viewers scratched off the scent that had that particular number on it. Numbers flashing in red mean that the viewer should find the corresponding number on their card (glow-in-the-dark for their convenience), and be ready to scratch-and-sniff when the on-screen number turns green.

Sadly, Paramount Home Video decided not to include the cards with the DVD release. So unless you got a card when the film was originally theatrically released, you're out of luck.

Here are the numbers, DVD time codes of when the numbers first appear on screen, and description of the scent.

1 - 05:31 - strawberry
2 - 11:42 - peanut butter
3 - 22:41 - a flower
4 - 39:05 - smelly feet
5 - 48:50 - root beer float
6 - 62:58 - fish

I've uploaded a small scan of the card to the Product Images section for this DVD, so feel free to take a look at it. May 5, 2005

It's amazing!

There's a lot of action in this movie. I like when Spike talks...it was really funny! I like that Debbie and Angelica meet each other, because they're alike...they're both mean and bossy. It was nice to see Angelica get bossed around for a change. I didn't think this movie was too scary. My brother and I really enjoyed this movie. August 1, 2004

Not as funny or creative or whimsical as the first two!

This Rugrats movie is the worst of the three. Obviously, it was made for promotion and cash more than anything. Nickelodeon didn't consider the plot in the process, so the movie suffers. The plot is complex, yet it still manages to be too simple to be taken seriously, and it has about fifty holes and sub-plots. The movie is too complex for even a 10-year-old to grasp. Since Rugrats is aimed for 3-9 year olds, they won't get it. The main promotions for the movie were the scratch and sniff sequence [also, Burger King promotion to go with that], and the fact that Spike would now talk. Hah! Spike talked in the episode of the series about Chuckie's dreams. Besides, smelling some disgusting card [that you can smell anytime, not during the movie] isn't fun. The burger smells more like spoiled milk. Anyway, the movie is fluffy and light and tries for a few forced laughs but it dosen't happen. Debbie's well-publicized line and the "That is so wrong!" line, and the Wedgie-dance, are among the stupidest things I have ever seen. Maybe an 8-year-old would disagree. Being 12, I found the humour pretty dumb. So you're aware, I love the series. This movie just wasn't creative at all, it was more of a Thornberry-type flick. And finally, it just isn't whimsical or special in any way. Not recommended for anything except a rental from the video store, if that. July 28, 2004
