The Rugrats are Back, and This is What Fans Have to Say

27 years after its premiere, Rugrats is coming back with a new animated series and a new movie (which so happens to be live action, with CGI characters, yikes).

In a press release, Viacom stated,

“Original creators Arlene Klasky, Gábor Csupó and Paul Germain will return to the TV series as executive producers. Nickelodeon’s Rugrats will be produced in Burbank, Calif., with production already underway. Additional news of the TV series, airdate and casting–and Reptar sightings–will be announced in the coming months.

The Rugrats movie will be written by David Goodman and is set to be released on November 13th, 2020 by Paramount Players, the division of Paramount Pictures that develops and produces co-branded feature films with Viacom’s leading media networks.  Rugrats is the seventh film title announced in connection with this cross-company initiative.”

As a passionate Rugrats fan, I have high hopes. The internet, however, seems skeptical. Readers, you decide, but check out some of the best reactions to this news.
