Hello, Rugrats fans, this is Concernedalien11780. I was a fan of Rugrats ever since I was born. It was on since before I was born, and looking back on it, I think it was probably the most accurate depiction of early childhood ever created. Tommy, Chuckie, Phil, Lil, and later Kimmy, while having a greater ability to talk than most toddlers, clearly think like toddlers, with wild imaginations created from innocent misunderstandings about the world around them. Angelica symbolizes how, with no logical reason, many kids lose their moral compass when they change from toddler to preschooler and take out their early pubescent angst and confusion on those younger than them. The teenage angst phase sometimes hits before or even after you're a teenager. And Dil is possibly one of the greatest fictional babies ever. I guess I only say that because I often enjoy the silent or not-really-able-to-talk characters in kids' cartoons. I like Maggie on Simpsons for a lot of the same reasons I like Dil- cute, babbling, and hiding a genius brain behind a babyish facade (maybe that last one moreso with Maggie than with Dil, but Dil might've been meant to be a baby genius, we could never tell for sure). Not to mention that it's probably the only mainstream kids' cartoons to sympathetically depict Judaism, and serve as a bridge between Nick Jr. shows and normal Nicktoons with its manner of teaching kids about issues in a way that doesn't talk down to them too much. I may have liked All Grown Up a little more in the mid-2000s when it was on and I was in the prime of kid-dom because of the belief that many media outlets put in kids' heads that if something has older kids in it, it's automatically cooler. Now I know that the original series has more charm and good feelings, and it would be great if Nick took up Klasky-Cspuo's offer to put the show back into production because I don't think any modern Nicktoons are really connecting with kids in a meaningful way, and a Rugrats revival could change that. That, and preadolescence is not "all grown up" by any means. Thanks for reading, and remember to never grow up, babies.
