It was created by Gabor Csupo and Arlene Klasky. Their own baby son inspired the pilot episode that blossomed into this success story. The basic premise entails a group of babies and infants who can communicate easily amongst themselves but cannot figure out what these ludicrous adults are all about.

The characters include Chuckie, Angelica, Tommy, the twins, Phil and Lil DeVille, Susie and the youngest of the group, Dylan (Or Dil Pickles). The characters lead very full lives for such young kids and we can’t help enjoying being witness to these brand new minds being slowly molded into grown- up and probably more cynical adult minds.

The show stars such famous voice actors as Nancy Cartwright (Bart Simpson), Joe Alaskey (Plucky Duck),Cathy Cavadini (Tanya Mousekewitz), Hasse Jonsson (many voices from Pirates of Dark Water), Deanna Oliver (The Brave Little Toaster), Tara Charendoff (Bertha in Beetlejuice) and Kath Souci (Bubbles in Powerpuff Girls).

The first Rugrats feature film was released by Klasky-Csupo Inc. in 1998. It became the most successful non-Disney animated movie and inspired the creation of more new episodes. The second movie, Rugrats in Paris was also a huge success and has guaranteed a steady and loyal audience for the cartoon show. There seems to be no need to worry about this show disappearing which is a relief to both kids and parents. Enjoy a Rugrats t-shirt today.
