New Rugrats movie with live-action actors and CG babies

A new report says Paramount has greenlit a hybrid live-action/CGI adaptation of the classic Nickelodeon cartoon Rugrats from the 90’s. Are you ready for this horrible cinematic nightmare?

The original Rugrats animated series was created by Arlene Klasky, Gábor Csupó and Paul Germain. It premiered in 1991 and quickly became one of the network’s most popular shows. Rugrats mainly focused on the adventures of a group of talking toddlers, led by Tommy Pickles. The series was a huge hit and led to several spin-offs, animated films, video gamesand others Rugrats merchandise. And now Paramount wants the Rugrats back, but as CGI babies in a live-action movie.

On October 2 Term reported that it had heard from sources that Paramount had approved the production on a Rugrats live-action/CG hybrid film. The film will be directed by Pitch Perfect director Jason Moore. The screenplay was reportedly written by Mikey Day Saturday evening live and Streeter Seidell.

Term didn’t have any other details to share about the movie, so we don’t know who is part of the cast, what the movie’s story will be, or when we can expect the new movie. But I can tell you this with confidence: I’m terrified of the concept and dread the day I have to see a trailer for this new Rugrats film.

The idea of ​​CG-generated cartoon babies interacting with real people sounds like a recipe for disaster. If the Rugrats if it looks too real, it will be a nightmare. If the babies look too cartoonish, it will also be terrible. I’m afraid there’s really no way to win other than canceling this project and spending the budget on a handful of interesting, smaller films that don’t just try to warm up leftover ideas and characters in a desperate attempt to make up the numbers. let it rise. But it’s 2024 in Hollywood, so that’s not happening. So get ready for some creepy CG babies when Rugrats will be released in theaters sometime in the future.
