Rugrats in Paris

Remember those lazy afternoons without homework where you could lie down on the couch and watch Rugrats. Well during break that's exactly what I did except I did have homework, I had turned on Netflix and spent the net hour and a half watch and analyzing the Rugrats in Paris. I watched a group of toddlers go on an adventure around Reptar land and watch as they tried to stop a wedding and succeeded, and most of the time it’s just the kids on there own adventure without supervision. Although under most circumstances the adults play only a minor role in most shows, they actually play a big role in this movie they’re why they go to Paris in the first place and end up with different problems the kids try to solve.

Although not all the characters are main characters no two characters are alike, the twins mom is energetic as apposed to her husband which is timid and there kids the twins are just as energetic as the mom, Stew is inventive while his wife makes rare appearances and their kids Tommy and dill are more quiet but inventive, Angelica’s mom is all business no play and her child the oldest of the group Angelica well she’s the evil mastermind and teases the kids, while Chaz, Chuckie’s dad, is always gloomier then the rest. Like father like son, Chuckie is the same, they both want a new mother and wife, and this is where the story comes in.
For this movie Chuckie is the main character and like Reptar he is misunderstood and just wants someone to care for him. After hearing the story of Reptar and how the princess understood him and cared for him, Chuckie and his friends go on the search for the princess in hopes that she will be his new mother. While this occurs the villain, despite her dislike of children, is luring Chaz into marry her for her own selfish reasons, and Chaz falls for her tricks and is lured into believing she is the one he wants to marry. The kids a furious and want to stop the wedding so they steal a giant robot Reptar fight off the evil servant and stop the wedding where Chaz realizes its not her that he wants to marry, but instead he wants to marry her kind assistant that likes kids. After back home they do in fact marry and although it’s not the princess mom he wanted his new mom ends up being someone much better.

The core of all this has to be that adults are just bigger kids and they make mistakes too like Chaz and almost marring the villain and the adults for losing the kids. Not only that but the rugrat’s motto is “A babies gotta do, what a babies gotta  do” meaning if you want something you have to go for it and do it, after all without the kids teamwork Chuckie’s dad may have gotten married to the wrong person, which wouldn't have resulted in a happy ending. But racially there is a lot of diversity around them like asians and europeans but not many spanish or african americans, actually I didn't see any spanish people in it; also the important characters are all Caucasian. the only diversity added to the group are Kimmy and her mother but they are only added in at the end of the movie. The grown up in this movie are all adults with with stable middle class jobs, there are no tragic events in the family or  imigration, they are the average middle class american living in a suburban area. Theres no mention of money problems, they all are fully capable of taking a week off there jobs and going to paris and paying the trip by them selfs and for their family. Overall these families seem to be the perfect family, with parents and grandparents and one or more children. Also there is rarely any missed children or mixed marriages or gay couples. This show follows the social norm of the time period it was made and the expectations of what a normal family and community should be like.
