According to Tara Strong; the baby noises she made voicing Dill were so realistic that she caused a sound engineer who had just given birth to involuntarily lactate. I think about that fact at least once a week.
I get what you're saying about The Rugrats Movie being underrated compared to the Rugrats In Paris. The Rugrats Movie feels like The Rugrats MOVIE. I don't know how to describe it, but it feels like a really big episode of the show, whereas Paris feels like it's own separate movie that kind of bridges the gap from "old" Rugrats to "new" Rugrats with the addition of Kimi and her mom. I hope that kinda makes sense. I love both of them, I was the biggest Rugrats fan as a kid, but something about that first movie was just so special.
I feel like Rugrats The Movie is a Rugrats Movie. While Rugrats in Paris is pretty much Chuckie’s Movie (kinda like The Tigger movie with Winnie The Pooh) even though the whole cast is here. But I like what u said here. I always loved Rugrats in Paris more but The Rugrats First Movie is mad important and i love the Great animation here. Worth the 100 million in the Box Office.
On another note the first Rugrats movie is scary because of the concept of 1 YEAR OLDS LOST IN THE WOODS FOR 24 HOURS!!!! Imagine your 1 year old lost in the woods in the real world you would have a stroke 😮
Funniest thing about The Powerpuff Girls movie failing: reportedly, they were gonna make a live-action Johnny Bravo with The Rock in the lead and it got cancelled due to PPG bombing. Then again, it wasn't the movie's fault. That Memorial Day weekend was PACKED. They couldn't even beat Minority Report that week. No chance in hell they were gonna win. Plus Disney beat both CN and Nick with Lilo and Stitch, so they were already boned to begin with.
@@MayorOfEarth79yup. It was made in 2011, a literal decade after the show ended because India fuckin’ LOVES Johnny. It’s aight. They did it all in Flash too.
I never knew the PPG movie failed until now. I worked in a Walmart toy department during its release. The merch sales weren't the best, but they weren't so abysmal as to suggest the movie bombed. Then again, I assumed Disney's Dinosaur bombed based on its merch sales, yet now I read it did very, _very_ well financially despite being mid.
Part of me honestly misses this era in cinema where every animated series that was even slightly popular at time were able to get a big theatrical release, stuff like the mlp and ttg movies really made me nostalgic for that period.
I saw the mlp movie in theaters because I was a big fan (while I was in high school mind you) & the worker didn’t hesitate to give my the complimentary coloring sheet that came with the ticket 😭
@@sketchycat6223Saw that with a friend of mine the day before release, had the theater all to ourselves, we had a pretty great time, sadly though that would be the last time I saw her(she’s fine , we just lost contact with each other)
That is exactly what happened with me! I wanted to go see The Powerpuff Girls Movie, and my mom looked at me like I was crazy. "That movie is for girls." Fun fact: We went to see the Barbie movie together all those years later.
"Klatsky Cupo really knows how to make these ugly cartoons look pretty" so I think what you're saying it, we need, nay deserve, a Duckman theatrical movie.
Fun fact: There's a deleted scene in the Rugrats movie where Lipschitz sings about why Stu and Didi are bad parents. The fact that the voice of Frollo was singing such a song bewilders me in such a spectacular way.
35:11-36:00 really made me think. The idea of a theatrical movie for a TV cartoon being “celebration of the show” didn’t click with me until I realized I’d say the exact same thing about the cast of Adventure Time. If that movie they’re currently making just zeroes in on Finn the Human and Jake the Dog with every other character barely showing up, I’m gonna be disappointed, fan or not.
46:47 - This is entirely my head-canon, but I like to think the Professor was projecting how he feels about himself on the girls. He's this insanely smart scientist we rarely see having any meaningful interactions with people besides his daughters. In the show he falls really easily for a super-villain doing an act, and adding that to the creating his own children in a lab thing gets us a guy who is desperately lonely. Maybe his bad advice is how he handled "being different" as a kid and never learned how unhealthy it was. I think he's probably a Reed Richards / Doctor Doom type "isolated genius" who has a hard time fitting in with others because of how his mind makes them feel about him (or how he thinks it makes them feel). Unlike Reed, he doesn't have a jock buddy to invite him to all the college parties or a socialite wife pushing him outside his comfort zone for his own good.
@@NegaHumanX that’s a really interesting read on his character! I could see all that definitely being the case, though I wonder what made him go with Jojo as a lab assistant since he’s like the….*closest* to Reed’s pushes prior to the girls in his life lol
@@RisingJay Thanks for the compliment. Since Jojo isn't human the Professor might have seen him as more of a pet than a friend and he wouldn't feel the need to navigate the same social hierarchy issues with him (like autistic people sometimes do with pets. I'm on the spectrum myself and it is MUCH easier to be comfortable around dogs and cats than people, especially when I need to focus on something I'm passionate about). That might also explain why he never has any other assistants (as far as I remember). That would also explain why he forgot about their history so easily. Jojo was a plug for a void that the girls ultimately filled.
Gotta say I'm hella old (turned 40 this year) and have only the faintest memories of most cartoons running from like 2001 onward but still absolutely love watching these retrospectives on this stuff despite only relating to like a quarter of it. It's just cool as shit to me seeing how much passion and nostalgia people younger than me have for the stuff they grew up with too. I've got a couple of younger siblings who would very much relate to all this stuff better but they're all far more mature than me so I've got to take up the mantle. Yeah they might have kids and decent careers but they don't get to know the pure joy of eating chicken wings at 2 A.M while learning about some cartoon movie that you're getting second hand nostalgia from.
@@Unquestionable That’s real!! 💰💰💰 And thank you! I always hoped that older people that watch these still get a little something out of it, even if they don’t watch the shows!
One of my favorite revelations as an adult is realizing a coloring error is a continuity nod. Lipschitz they doubled down on their odd coloration (which did NOT carry over to the show) and gray Randy was a true error but I’m talking about Aunt Miriam. I completely forgot they established she wore wigs in her debut episode. So the brown hair she has in The Rugrats Movie and the weddings of the next movie are just her FORMAL wigs. I was blown away
TTG to the Movies giving the Titans' voice actors top billing before the celebrities in the credits is such a small thing, but it's stuck with me for years. Those 5 had been with those characters for over a decade when the film came out, and for many people are THE voices associated with the TT. Like yeah it's the bare minimum but it still seems like it'd be the coolest feeling to experience in one's career (especially when considering how little respect voice actors get). The final product wouldn't be nearly as funny without their performances and idk I'm just happy for them :)
@@magnum9588 Eh, it's been a while since I really paid attention to all of it, but there are like 5 episodes directly addressing the initial fan backlash (which again, I admit to once being a part of), even years after the haters stopped caring altogether. Still, that's no employee's fault
I love the Powerpuff girls movie it was a really good movie that told their origins. Seeing how the girls were using their power like a actual super powered kid would. Seeing how they met Mojo for the first time even being the ones who created his evil lair. It just sucks that it got the short end of the stick during its time. Would have been cool if they did a sequel where girls meet Him for the first time.
Kelsey Grammer was just doing anything in the early 2000s. Between Teacher's Pet, The Simpsons, Barbie of Swan Lake and Fraiser, that man was everywhere to me
It's funny that you mention that Teacher's Pet works as a standalone movie, because my ass literally just had the DVD growing up and didn't even realize it was a TV show until years later, I was way too young for when the show was actually airing
Side note: Teen Titans Go is a guilty pleasure for me for how stupid but hilarious it is. Not gonna lie, I thought the twist was going to be Slade working with Jade.
It's cliched to say but the moment in the Spongebob movie where they get dried out in Shell City was the first time I ever cried in a movie theater. Shit was ROUGH as a kid. I'll always love the Spongebob Movie either way though.
I deffo agree with you on that Ed Edd n Eddy observation. Animator Eric Goldberg once said that the reason he loved supervising comedic supporting characters like the Genie from Aladdin and Phil from Hercules because they are loud and funny for the majority of their screen time, yet the moment they get sad and/or quiet can git harder than the protagonist going through a broader range of emotions.
I remember how much of an event "The Rugrats Movie" was. And I do think it lived up to it, taking the babies on this grand adventure with major stakes. You can tell how much the Rugrats team wanted to make something worthy of the big screen. It will always confuse me that "Teacher's Pet" got a theatrical movie. I was one of those people who did watch and enjoy the show when it first aired, but once the movie rolled around, I hadn't thought about the show in a while. Also while I know it won a few Emmys, I don't think it was popular enough for a big-screen movie. And it's honestly so short, it could have been a television special. I remember when the Teen Titans Go Movie was released and critics gave it good reviews, so many online types thinking it was some kind of conspiracy or that "the critics were paid to like it." Or maybe, hear me out, movie critics aren't paying attention to what Animation Twitter is complaining about, didn't walk into the movie with some kind of bias at being upset Cartoon Network airs it so much and judged the film on its own terms. And with the movie being a satirical take on superhero movies released at a time when the genre was massively popular, it makes sense critics would find some enjoyment out of it and the Hollywood in-jokes.
Big ups for Gary Baseman the co creator for Teachers Pet. His art style is so goddamn iconic for me. Spent hours playing Cranium, the board game, during free time in middle school. So when that movie came out I was floored to see his design move with such fluid animation and bright visuals.
Homer Simpson: I can't believe we're paying to see something we get on TV for free! If you ask me, everybody in this theater is a giant sucker! Especially you! Us maybe but not you Tariq! Thanks for all the amazing videos you make!
I grew up in love with the original Teen Titans show, so it made me so happy to see the names of Scott Menville, Hynden Walch, Khary Payton, Greg Cipes, and Tara Strong on the big screen and hear their voices in a theatrical movie. Also “I think his dad’s a cop! Run!” had me CRYIN’ in the theater. That movie is hilarious.
The spongebob movie was my first movie i saw in theaters with my family when i was 3 years old. The whole time my eyes were glued to the screen and all I said during it was "popcorn" "drink" and I told my big brother and my dad to shush. Its still one of my favorite movies and i don't think that will change. I remember watching the rugats movie when i was little with my big brother when it ran on tv one day and i remember asking him something on the lines of "is how you feel sometimes with me?" and my brother being him said this "sometimes yeah, you're loud and you dont listen sometimes but for every moment there is of you being loud and chaotic, theres a moment of you listening and being very sweet and kind and i like that about you." I still think about that moment with him cause a sibling relationship is complex and difficult at times but some of difficult times are worth it to see the good if not the great times with them. I love and enjoy all of these movies cause the memories I've made with my family with them. Not every movie will be a hit but that's fine with me cause sometimes you just need some comfort food
Funny thing you mention Teacher's Pet feeling like a trans allegory. This was one of my favourite shows growing up because there was just something weirdly appealing and relatable about a character who desperately wanted to be just a regular boy despite everything ranging from biology to societal perceptions of who and what Spot/Scott should be. And there was just something so heartbreaking to me about the movie when he finally became human, but not in a way that he wanted, and even more heartbroken when he was turned back into a dog instead of trying to make it work and still living the happy, human life that he always wanted, even if he had to be a grown man instead while doing so. At least he has something even close to what he was yearning for. . . . . . Turns out I was fuckin trans.
I love how many times Tariq calls back to Big Picture Show, it's like the perfect cartoon movie to relate other ones to in terms of how they connect between show and movie as well as stand on their own
The Powerpuff Girls Movie & VeggieTales had the same issue of releasing in a way that guaranteed no one was catching either in '02, and it's just WILD to me 😂 The former was also a few weeks ahead of Spy Kids 2 so that summer in general was just not optimal. According to Craig or someone on the staff there was supposedly a regime change at CN that might've affected the marketing, which is real sad bc the film _deserved_ to do well! In a lot of ways I see as the quintessential show-to-movie leap alongside Spongebob 1 and it just isn't discussed in that way. Mad respect for this vid 👏
Dude I’ve had that Christi Carlson Romano Teacher’s Pet Song (and the variation of the show theme that they sing in the film) stuck in my head for like a *year.*
What amazes me is when I watched Rugrats as a kid, I understood the concept of Stu and Lou being upset and arguing all the time, but as an adult and actually understanding the dialog, made this a brand new movie to watch. Stu was a trip, and Dee rode for Stu. He had a lot of love and took care of his dream over responsibilities of his financial insecurities but still kept his family in mind. Lou was sick of his shit on a daily lol, probably always giving him money to get by, along with money to keep Angelica, then Stu goes and has ANOTHER baby to add to the stress. But Lou was the villain 😂
Rugrats Go Wild (WHY WAS IT NOT SPOKEN ABOUT?) was literally my hyperfixation as a child. I loved it. Even when Spike was talked to by Eliza and it shook me.
Rugrats go wild was randomly on cable one day when I was 12 and I thought the Thornberrys were just characters made for the movie didn’t realise it was a crossover or they had their own show until recently lol But yeah I have fond memories of it
- The scene with Stu telling Tommy about responsibility always hit close to home for me cause, similar to Tommy, I'm the oldest of 2 and my mom was the baby sister. When the youngest sibling has their first kid, the perspective they bring is that of someone that knows what it's like to be the baby and wants their firstborn to be the kind of good older sibling they would've wanted, and that's a really interesting dynamic. - Fully agree on how people perceive the first Rugrats movie compared to the second. If we're being fair, this movie does just as much for Tommy as a character that Rugrats in Paris does for Chuckie, and the first movie just has a distinct look and tone that makes it a wholly unique experience. The team's inexperience with the software resulted in a very interesting looking movie and while it's cool to see them refine it for Rugrats in Paris, it's just as cool to see where it started. As someone that loves Rugrats in Paris, The Rugrats Movie deserves just as many flowers, arguably more if we consider the groundwork it laid. The opening title sequence ALONE is chill-inducing. - 22:35 Tariq knows what's up. Finally someone that gets it. Hit me up if you need someone for that ghostwriter position lmao. - Ngl, I wore tf outta my DVD rewatching that tag sequence in the PPG movie. - Damn, boys weren't being allowed to see this movie in theaters? I saw this shit and Like Mike in the same day. This whole saga about cartoon movies has been great. Can totally see The Chipmunk Adventure being in this movie if you hadn't done a video on it already (and honestly it wouldn't deserved it's own video. Fuck it, imma go rewatch that vid now.)
Watched most of it on Patreon already but hadn't seen the teen titan's go part. I had just been talking to friends about how cartoons are too nice nowadays but hadn't even thought about Teen Titans Go.
Its one of the reasons i enjoy the show, they are basically like the southpark kids, but as superheroes. Wholesome stuff is great, but i think we forget that kids can be assholes.
Mao Mao Heroes of Pure Heart was also a fun mean cartoon (though it was more balanced since the main characters cared for each other and they had real trauma explaining their behavior) but then Zaslav fucked it over and I am...so sad. I miss it every day
i absolutely LOVE your comedic timing with the things you say and the clips you choose to show afterwards. like I always need to run the video back or pause it bc I'm giggling up a storm and unable to stop for a lil bit - and you're just naturally funny to me. like that's just another thing I love about your videos, I'm so happy i came across your content 🥹🥹
2004 was one of my most memorable childhood years. Next to Shrek 2, the SpongeBob movie was my favorite and the most impactful. (Of course the Incredibles would take over when I grew up.) I will forever remember the look of horror on my parents' faces when they realized that there was a SpongeBob movie that they knew I'd beg them to take me to. And I'm glad they did. All my classmates were singing the Goofy Goober song at the playground at Recess and Lunch. We ate that up!
To this day, I hate that Paramount Pictures STILL haven't given us the extended version of 'The Rugrats Movie' that was only shown ONCE on CBS. Shame that all of these films, aside from SpongeBob, Rugrats, and Teen Titans Go! bombed. Most of them should've gone to DVD & Blu-Ray or TV.
The Rugratz movie is a lesson in writing Stakes. It's also, relatively close to earth. There are not world domination and spies. Most of the stakes are emotional, and knowing they won't have a wolf eating the babies, that's reaaally important. Not a lot of cartoons feel like they can rely only in interpersonal drama to carry a movie.
“You can’t deduct them if you don’t have any income!” Said by the voice actor for Raziel. And now I want to set that line to one of the scenes of him trash-talking his brothers in Soul Reaver 1.
The Rugrats movie is the only cartoon movie that has made me cry! I remember seeing it in theaters and that scene of Tommy and Dil in the tree after he changes his mind about giving Dil to the monkeys and balling …seen that scene about a month ago and still cried 😩
This is one of your finest works, Tariq. And also one of the funniest. Partially expected the Lil' Wayne "Every Girl" line to pop up in the ad read, but it still gave me laughs when it came up.
The Rugrats Movie > Rugrats in Paris Chuckie's emotional arc is great, but the scope and danger of the first movie has never been matched. Infants lost in the woods while a wolf is chasing them!? That AND the appropriate emotional attitudes from the parents!? Yeah I'll take that any day over the Reptar mech fight and singing sumos.
The PPG movie high key turned me into what I am now. I watched every single second of every single special feature on that dvd. The couch interviews with the characters, the scenes where the VAs did in character commentaries, the behind the scenes making of feature, the deleted scenes; bro I was like 11 years old listening to the goddamn director's commentary. That movie ruined me for life, and I don't regret a single second of it.
I was born in 2006, my childhood shows where gravity falls in Phineas and Ferb so the idea of the rugrats just seems absolutely insane to me. Like how the fuck did that take off. You know? But just from Tariq describing this movie and showing the moments from it, It genuinely looks phenomenal. I can see it why it was so hyped back in the day.
It's 4am for me and I'm tired af that's why my grammar is so shite. And I can't edit it now cause I don't wanna remove the like from Tariq 😂 Thank you man, it's an honour 🙏
I had the PPG Movie on DVD as a kid and the entire scene of the dissention between Mojo and the other monkeys is top notch. The montage of each one pulling out the outfit and naming themselves, the color palette changing, Mojo's insane speech telling them to stop. Incredible Climax on that movie.
teachers pet had its theatrical release three days after I was born, I asked my mom and she said she remembered hearing the commercial on the TV, but only faintly cause of how sick she was during my birth. Absolutely insane 😭
Okay but Rugrats had me so scared of tax season as a kid. Lol you just see Stu hunched over the kitchen with a box of receipts and a calculator, desperately trying to finish his taxes and I thought that would be me once a year. 😭 even back then I was bad at math so I was terrified that would be me some day. Now I just pay a woman to do it for me once a year and pay the fee. LOL
I know people think The Wild Thornberries show was bad but I loved it as a kid. I was always a fan of learning about animals. I'm scared to watch it ever again because nobody has anything good to say about it so I don't know if it would hold up but I'm glad to hear at least the movie holds up. Honestly I never hear any really specific criticisms of the show but nobody seems to like it so I feel like maybe it doesn't hold up. I feel so called out by this video lol. This video also makes me want to check out the Powerpuff Girls movie too and the Teacher's Pet movie but I have super vague memories of Teacher's Pet.
In the recent SpongeBob episodes they dialed back the animation and the characters move normally again in season 13 and 14 and going forward. Watch Delivery to Monster Island and you'll see what I mean.
One thing I especially liked about Teen Titans go to the movies was how the voice cast were treated like actual celebrities instead of the actual celebrity voice actors they got. You rarely see that so it was cool to see.
Glad I’m not the only TTG Movie appreciator! I remember taking my little cousins to see it when it came out and having a great time with it despite not being a humongous fan of the show. It is wild how much genuine pathos we get out of movie based on such an anarchic, crazy cartoon. And yeah, the animation goes pretty hard for the music sequences.
The Powerpuff Girls Movie flopped at the box office, but I'm positive that a bunch of kids were young boys who wanted to see it but were too embarrassed to verbally ask their parents "Can We Watch The Powerpuff Girls Movie?" 😂😂
No word of a lie: one of my buddies saw Teen Titans GO! to the Movies with his 5 year old son and had to explain where babies come from afterward. That shit is hilarious, and it worked. I would listen to this man break down every frame of the Bob's Burgers movie for 6 hours, if he wanted to. I know it's not exactly "nostalgic," but it really is just a 90 minute episode. And that's the best thing about it.
Teacher's Pet was one of the MANY shows I knew about but never watched as a kid for 2 reasons: 1, I thought the character designs were ugly as hell (which was one of the reasons I didnt watch a lot of specific cartoons growing up, all said cartoons I wouldnt get into until damn near the end of their lives on tv) and 2nd is because it was on Toon Disney, which i did not have growing up. A couple years ago I decided to watch the entire series, and man oh man, I loved it. Hell, not having Toon Disney is the reason why for the longest time, I thought Pepper Ann was a boy. As a wee lad, I loved Pepperoni but my sister and mother didnt, so I thought only boys liked it, and due to Pepper Ann's name and hair color, I thought she was named after Pepperoni, so because of thinking she was named after it, and thinking only boys liked it, I thought she was a boy. For a while I tried to remember how I never saw her skirt, and I recently remembered: I thought it was a sweater or something around her waist. Cuz again, I never watched it, but I saw ads and stuff about it
How serendipitous that the one of the two vhs tapes of the rugrats I had growing up included the episode where they go to the movie theater, this aint that but close enough
According to Tara Strong; the baby noises she made voicing Dill were so realistic that she caused a sound engineer who had just given birth to involuntarily lactate.
I think about that fact at least once a week.
Poof from Fairly OddParents is arguably based on Dil since his debut was also meant to be theatrical.

The Florida jokes were almost certainly animated in Florida where much of Disney's 2D animation was done, especially in the late 90s and 2000s.

@@NegaHumanX that’s a really interesting read on his character! I could see all that definitely being the case, though I wonder what made him go with Jojo as a lab assistant since he’s like the….*closest* to Reed’s pushes prior to the girls in his life lol
@@RisingJay Thanks for the compliment.
Since Jojo isn't human the Professor might have seen him as more of a pet than a friend and he wouldn't feel the need to navigate the same social hierarchy issues with him (like autistic people sometimes do with pets. I'm on the spectrum myself and it is MUCH easier to be comfortable around dogs and cats than people, especially when I need to focus on something I'm passionate about). That might also explain why he never has any other assistants (as far as I remember). That would also explain why he forgot about their history so easily. Jojo was a plug for a void that the girls ultimately filled.
Gotta say I'm hella old (turned 40 this year) and have only the faintest memories of most cartoons running from like 2001 onward but still absolutely love watching these retrospectives on this stuff despite only relating to like a quarter of it. It's just cool as shit to me seeing how much passion and nostalgia people younger than me have for the stuff they grew up with too. I've got a couple of younger siblings who would very much relate to all this stuff better but they're all far more mature than me so I've got to take up the mantle. Yeah they might have kids and decent careers but they don't get to know the pure joy of eating chicken wings at 2 A.M while learning about some cartoon movie that you're getting second hand nostalgia from.
@@Unquestionable That’s real!! 💰💰💰
And thank you! I always hoped that older people that watch these still get a little something out of it, even if they don’t watch the shows!
What was it like living through the civil war
the mom from teacher's pet is the craziest hear me out on this channel so far
One of my favorite revelations as an adult is realizing a coloring error is a continuity nod. Lipschitz they doubled down on their odd coloration (which did NOT carry over to the show) and gray Randy was a true error but I’m talking about Aunt Miriam. I completely forgot they established she wore wigs in her debut episode. So the brown hair she has in The Rugrats Movie and the weddings of the next movie are just her FORMAL wigs. I was blown away

TTG to the Movies giving the Titans' voice actors top billing before the celebrities in the credits is such a small thing, but it's stuck with me for years. Those 5 had been with those characters for over a decade when the film came out, and for many people are THE voices associated with the TT. Like yeah it's the bare minimum but it still seems like it'd be the coolest feeling to experience in one's career (especially when considering how little respect voice actors get). The final product wouldn't be nearly as funny without their performances and idk I'm just happy for them :)
Thank you. I thought I was the only one who thought about that.
Absolutely agree. Even in the earliest, deepest depths of my TTG hate, I was happy for everyone that worked on it... besides the petty creator
@@TrashTawk I don't think they're petty.
@@magnum9588 Eh, it's been a while since I really paid attention to all of it, but there are like 5 episodes directly addressing the initial fan backlash (which again, I admit to once being a part of), even years after the haters stopped caring altogether. Still, that's no employee's fault
@@TrashTawk I know.
I love the Powerpuff girls movie it was a really good movie that told their origins. Seeing how the girls were using their power like a actual super powered kid would. Seeing how they met Mojo for the first time even being the ones who created his evil lair. It just sucks that it got the short end of the stick during its time. Would have been cool if they did a sequel where girls meet Him for the first time.
Kelsey Grammer was just doing anything in the early 2000s. Between Teacher's Pet, The Simpsons, Barbie of Swan Lake and Fraiser, that man was everywhere to me
He was one of The Simpsons’s first major guest stars (granted Albert Brooks already had 2 episodes to his name by the time Krusty Gets Busted aired)
He still is-want to see Frasier Crane go on about a dude fucking an alligator? _Money Plane._
If Wu-Tang taught us anything, it's C.R.E.A.M.
Don't forget X Men
And during this time he produced the show GIRLFRIENDS for some reason lol
It's funny that you mention that Teacher's Pet works as a standalone movie, because my ass literally just had the DVD growing up and didn't even realize it was a TV show until years later, I was way too young for when the show was actually airing
As crazy as I am for 3d animation, it does kinda suck looking at Rugrats and Thornberries especially and knowing we don't really get stuff like that.
I feel that, was just talking to a friend about this!
And the train keeps a-rollin'. First TV specials, then TV movies, now theatrical movies.
That's a compliment, BTW.
Side note: Teen Titans Go is a guilty pleasure for me for how stupid but hilarious it is. Not gonna lie, I thought the twist was going to be Slade working with Jade.
It's cliched to say but the moment in the Spongebob movie where they get dried out in Shell City was the first time I ever cried in a movie theater. Shit was ROUGH as a kid. I'll always love the Spongebob Movie either way though.
I deffo agree with you on that Ed Edd n Eddy observation. Animator Eric Goldberg once said that the reason he loved supervising comedic supporting characters like the Genie from Aladdin and Phil from Hercules because they are loud and funny for the majority of their screen time, yet the moment they get sad and/or quiet can git harder than the protagonist going through a broader range of emotions.
You’re definitely right about Teacher’s Pet working on its own as a film; I’ve never seen the show and this whole time I thought the movie came first.
I remember how much of an event "The Rugrats Movie" was. And I do think it lived up to it, taking the babies on this grand adventure with major stakes. You can tell how much the Rugrats team wanted to make something worthy of the big screen.
It will always confuse me that "Teacher's Pet" got a theatrical movie. I was one of those people who did watch and enjoy the show when it first aired, but once the movie rolled around, I hadn't thought about the show in a while. Also while I know it won a few Emmys, I don't think it was popular enough for a big-screen movie. And it's honestly so short, it could have been a television special.
I remember when the Teen Titans Go Movie was released and critics gave it good reviews, so many online types thinking it was some kind of conspiracy or that "the critics were paid to like it." Or maybe, hear me out, movie critics aren't paying attention to what Animation Twitter is complaining about, didn't walk into the movie with some kind of bias at being upset Cartoon Network airs it so much and judged the film on its own terms. And with the movie being a satirical take on superhero movies released at a time when the genre was massively popular, it makes sense critics would find some enjoyment out of it and the Hollywood in-jokes.
Man, I could not tell you how many times me and my siblings rewatch the Powerpuff girls movie DVD. That shit was a religious watch.
@@jamilfrost6217 every July 3rd everyone should stop what they’re doing & watch lol 🫡
Big ups for Gary Baseman the co creator for Teachers Pet. His art style is so goddamn iconic for me. Spent hours playing Cranium, the board game, during free time in middle school. So when that movie came out I was floored to see his design move with such fluid animation and bright visuals.
Homer Simpson: I can't believe we're paying to see something we get on TV for free! If you ask me, everybody in this theater is a giant sucker! Especially you!
Us maybe but not you Tariq! Thanks for all the amazing videos you make!
I grew up in love with the original Teen Titans show, so it made me so happy to see the names of Scott Menville, Hynden Walch, Khary Payton, Greg Cipes, and Tara Strong on the big screen and hear their voices in a theatrical movie.
Also “I think his dad’s a cop! Run!” had me CRYIN’ in the theater. That movie is hilarious.
The spongebob movie was my first movie i saw in theaters with my family when i was 3 years old. The whole time my eyes were glued to the screen and all I said during it was "popcorn" "drink" and I told my big brother and my dad to shush. Its still one of my favorite movies and i don't think that will change.
I remember watching the rugats movie when i was little with my big brother when it ran on tv one day and i remember asking him something on the lines of "is how you feel sometimes with me?" and my brother being him said this "sometimes yeah, you're loud and you dont listen sometimes but for every moment there is of you being loud and chaotic, theres a moment of you listening and being very sweet and kind and i like that about you." I still think about that moment with him cause a sibling relationship is complex and difficult at times but some of difficult times are worth it to see the good if not the great times with them.
I love and enjoy all of these movies cause the memories I've made with my family with them. Not every movie will be a hit but that's fine with me cause sometimes you just need some comfort food
Funny thing you mention Teacher's Pet feeling like a trans allegory. This was one of my favourite shows growing up because there was just something weirdly appealing and relatable about a character who desperately wanted to be just a regular boy despite everything ranging from biology to societal perceptions of who and what Spot/Scott should be. And there was just something so heartbreaking to me about the movie when he finally became human, but not in a way that he wanted, and even more heartbroken when he was turned back into a dog instead of trying to make it work and still living the happy, human life that he always wanted, even if he had to be a grown man instead while doing so. At least he has something even close to what he was yearning for.

I love how many times Tariq calls back to Big Picture Show, it's like the perfect cartoon movie to relate other ones to in terms of how they connect between show and movie as well as stand on their own
please make the adult cartoons becoming movies video omg. tv cartoons becoming movies is like my obsession
Great video as always! The way you talk about the Rugrats Movie makes me want to watch it again. Haven't seen it since I was a kid
The Powerpuff Girls Movie & VeggieTales had the same issue of releasing in a way that guaranteed no one was catching either in '02, and it's just WILD to me 😂
The former was also a few weeks ahead of Spy Kids 2 so that summer in general was just not optimal. According to Craig or someone on the staff there was supposedly a regime change at CN that might've affected the marketing, which is real sad bc the film _deserved_ to do well! In a lot of ways I see as the quintessential show-to-movie leap alongside Spongebob 1 and it just isn't discussed in that way. Mad respect for this vid 👏
Dude I’ve had that Christi Carlson Romano Teacher’s Pet Song (and the variation of the show theme that they sing in the film) stuck in my head for like a *year.*
What amazes me is when I watched Rugrats as a kid, I understood the concept of Stu and Lou being upset and arguing all the time, but as an adult and actually understanding the dialog, made this a brand new movie to watch. Stu was a trip, and Dee rode for Stu. He had a lot of love and took care of his dream over responsibilities of his financial insecurities but still kept his family in mind. Lou was sick of his shit on a daily lol, probably always giving him money to get by, along with money to keep Angelica, then Stu goes and has ANOTHER baby to add to the stress. But Lou was the villain 😂
Rugrats Go Wild (WHY WAS IT NOT SPOKEN ABOUT?) was literally my hyperfixation as a child. I loved it. Even when Spike was talked to by Eliza and it shook me.
I only did one movie per franchise! I’ll probably cover it some other time!
@@ToonrificTariq We will be seated either way. ❤️ Thanks for replying.
The trailer made me think the movie was gonna be all about Eliza talkin’ to Spike.
Rugrats go wild was randomly on cable one day when I was 12 and I thought the Thornberrys were just characters made for the movie didn’t realise it was a crossover or they had their own show until recently lol
But yeah I have fond memories of it
i watched that movie so much on DVD it wore out a skipped so much. it’s definitely one of my favorite animated movies ever
1:11:14 The writers are wild for that! Genuinely burst out laughing when I heard that line. And at the end of the movie too?
- The scene with Stu telling Tommy about responsibility always hit close to home for me cause, similar to Tommy, I'm the oldest of 2 and my mom was the baby sister. When the youngest sibling has their first kid, the perspective they bring is that of someone that knows what it's like to be the baby and wants their firstborn to be the kind of good older sibling they would've wanted, and that's a really interesting dynamic.
- Fully agree on how people perceive the first Rugrats movie compared to the second. If we're being fair, this movie does just as much for Tommy as a character that Rugrats in Paris does for Chuckie, and the first movie just has a distinct look and tone that makes it a wholly unique experience. The team's inexperience with the software resulted in a very interesting looking movie and while it's cool to see them refine it for Rugrats in Paris, it's just as cool to see where it started. As someone that loves Rugrats in Paris, The Rugrats Movie deserves just as many flowers, arguably more if we consider the groundwork it laid. The opening title sequence ALONE is chill-inducing.
- 22:35 Tariq knows what's up. Finally someone that gets it. Hit me up if you need someone for that ghostwriter position lmao.
- Ngl, I wore tf outta my DVD rewatching that tag sequence in the PPG movie.
- Damn, boys weren't being allowed to see this movie in theaters? I saw this shit and Like Mike in the same day.
This whole saga about cartoon movies has been great. Can totally see The Chipmunk Adventure being in this movie if you hadn't done a video on it already (and honestly it wouldn't deserved it's own video. Fuck it, imma go rewatch that vid now.)
Ayo bro you saw PPG and Like Mike the SAME DAY? Your body must have lifted off the ground when you walked out that theater
@@PhantomKing88 I felt like fighting crime with basketballs and magic sneakers with 2000s pop playing in the background.
Watched most of it on Patreon already but hadn't seen the teen titan's go part. I had just been talking to friends about how cartoons are too nice nowadays but hadn't even thought about Teen Titans Go.
Its one of the reasons i enjoy the show, they are basically like the southpark kids, but as superheroes.
Wholesome stuff is great, but i think we forget that kids can be assholes.
Mao Mao Heroes of Pure Heart was also a fun mean cartoon (though it was more balanced since the main characters cared for each other and they had real trauma explaining their behavior) but then Zaslav fucked it over and I am...so sad. I miss it every day
i absolutely LOVE your comedic timing with the things you say and the clips you choose to show afterwards. like I always need to run the video back or pause it bc I'm giggling up a storm and unable to stop for a lil bit - and you're just naturally funny to me. like that's just another thing I love about your videos, I'm so happy i came across your content 🥹🥹
Same^^
2004 was one of my most memorable childhood years. Next to Shrek 2, the SpongeBob movie was my favorite and the most impactful. (Of course the Incredibles would take over when I grew up.) I will forever remember the look of horror on my parents' faces when they realized that there was a SpongeBob movie that they knew I'd beg them to take me to. And I'm glad they did. All my classmates were singing the Goofy Goober song at the playground at Recess and Lunch. We ate that up!
To this day, I hate that Paramount Pictures STILL haven't given us the extended version of 'The Rugrats Movie' that was only shown ONCE on CBS.
Shame that all of these films, aside from SpongeBob, Rugrats, and Teen Titans Go! bombed. Most of them should've gone to DVD & Blu-Ray or TV.
The extended version of The Rugrats Movie did air on Nickelodeon quite a few times in the 2000s and the early 2010s. Haven't been seen since then.
The Rugratz movie is a lesson in writing Stakes. It's also, relatively close to earth. There are not world domination and spies. Most of the stakes are emotional, and knowing they won't have a wolf eating the babies, that's reaaally important. Not a lot of cartoons feel like they can rely only in interpersonal drama to carry a movie.
“You can’t deduct them if you don’t have any income!” Said by the voice actor for Raziel. And now I want to set that line to one of the scenes of him trash-talking his brothers in Soul Reaver 1.
Bruh. I've seen The Rugrats Movie plenty of times and never cried. Why are the clips in this video getting to me???
The Rugrats movie is the only cartoon movie that has made me cry! I remember seeing it in theaters and that scene of Tommy and Dil in the tree after he changes his mind about giving Dil to the monkeys and balling …seen that scene about a month ago and still cried 😩
That Cherish Chemical X song just unlocked something in my brain
I broke my VHS player by watching that Orange VHS on repeat. I lost that tape to that damn machine but it was my titanic I swear.
This is one of your finest works, Tariq. And also one of the funniest. Partially expected the Lil' Wayne "Every Girl" line to pop up in the ad read, but it still gave me laughs when it came up.
1:50 courage the dog in a rugrats commercial , love it haha
The Rugrats Movie > Rugrats in Paris
Chuckie's emotional arc is great, but the scope and danger of the first movie has never been matched. Infants lost in the woods while a wolf is chasing them!? That AND the appropriate emotional attitudes from the parents!? Yeah I'll take that any day over the Reptar mech fight and singing sumos.
Missed opportunity to have the speech bubble say "cinema."
The word's a little too long for the bubble!
damn wasn't expecting a Ralph Bakshi reference, especially heavy traffic
Only cartoontuber who knows who Young Nudy even is. The GOAT. Great vid as always!
Appreciate you, gang! Thanks for watching!
The PPG movie high key turned me into what I am now.
I watched every single second of every single special feature on that dvd. The couch interviews with the characters, the scenes where the VAs did in character commentaries, the behind the scenes making of feature, the deleted scenes; bro I was like 11 years old listening to the goddamn director's commentary. That movie ruined me for life, and I don't regret a single second of it.
Bro that circumcision joke in the baby room song fuckin broke me 😂
I was born in 2006, my childhood shows where gravity falls in Phineas and Ferb so the idea of the rugrats just seems absolutely insane to me. Like how the fuck did that take off. You know? But just from Tariq describing this movie and showing the moments from it, It genuinely looks phenomenal. I can see it why it was so hyped back in the day.
It's 4am for me and I'm tired af that's why my grammar is so shite. And I can't edit it now cause I don't wanna remove the like from Tariq 😂
Thank you man, it's an honour 🙏
I had the PPG Movie on DVD as a kid and the entire scene of the dissention between Mojo and the other monkeys is top notch. The montage of each one pulling out the outfit and naming themselves, the color palette changing, Mojo's insane speech telling them to stop. Incredible Climax on that movie.
Fun Fact the Wolf in Rugrats movie is named Scar snout
New Tariq...today is a good day
And no barking from the dog, and no smog
I didn't even have to use my Ak
It's like mfs WANT to piss me off by not watching and supporting your vids. Give my boy his damn engagement, y'all!
teachers pet had its theatrical release three days after I was born, I asked my mom and she said she remembered hearing the commercial on the TV, but only faintly cause of how sick she was during my birth. Absolutely insane 😭
Okay but Rugrats had me so scared of tax season as a kid. Lol you just see Stu hunched over the kitchen with a box of receipts and a calculator, desperately trying to finish his taxes and I thought that would be me once a year. 😭 even back then I was bad at math so I was terrified that would be me some day. Now I just pay a woman to do it for me once a year and pay the fee. LOL
The Teachers Pet movie has such a special place in my heart as a Floridian LOL
I know people think The Wild Thornberries show was bad but I loved it as a kid. I was always a fan of learning about animals. I'm scared to watch it ever again because nobody has anything good to say about it so I don't know if it would hold up but I'm glad to hear at least the movie holds up.
Honestly I never hear any really specific criticisms of the show but nobody seems to like it so I feel like maybe it doesn't hold up. I feel so called out by this video lol.
This video also makes me want to check out the Powerpuff Girls movie too and the Teacher's Pet movie but I have super vague memories of Teacher's Pet.
drunk off of ice cream spongebob and patrick was so funny even Legend of Korra had to sort of do its own version
"The only comics I read as a kid were like the Sonic Archie Comics"

@@kaylagaymon4873 I only wish most of them were truly successful
looking at that OG lineup of cartoons we really didnt know how good we had it
3:46 it’s funny in the movie Drew basically tells him $500 isn’t shit lmao
In the recent SpongeBob episodes they dialed back the animation and the characters move normally again in season 13 and 14 and going forward. Watch Delivery to Monster Island and you'll see what I mean.
Honestly to me, TTG isn’t that bad once you think of it as a kid friendly Always Sunny
Exactly, excpt the show i always say it is, is a kid friendly southpark.
One thing I especially liked about Teen Titans go to the movies was how the voice cast were treated like actual celebrities instead of the actual celebrity voice actors they got. You rarely see that so it was cool to see.
Glad I’m not the only TTG Movie appreciator! I remember taking my little cousins to see it when it came out and having a great time with it despite not being a humongous fan of the show.
It is wild how much genuine pathos we get out of movie based on such an anarchic, crazy cartoon. And yeah, the animation goes pretty hard for the music sequences.
The Powerpuff Girls Movie flopped at the box office, but I'm positive that a bunch of kids were young boys who wanted to see it but were too embarrassed to verbally ask their parents
"Can We Watch The Powerpuff Girls Movie?" 😂😂
Yup I don't know about it but if I did I be I won't ask
No word of a lie: one of my buddies saw Teen Titans GO! to the Movies with his 5 year old son and had to explain where babies come from afterward. That shit is hilarious, and it worked.
I would listen to this man break down every frame of the Bob's Burgers movie for 6 hours, if he wanted to. I know it's not exactly "nostalgic," but it really is just a 90 minute episode. And that's the best thing about it.
Teacher’s Pet was one of those shows I had the faintest possible memories of from childhood
I loved the Teacher's Pet movie as a kid!
I didn't even know that shit was a show until now lmao. Thanks for teaching me something Tariq
0:35 Doug's 1st Movie continues to remain his only movie.
Teacher's Pet was one of the MANY shows I knew about but never watched as a kid for 2 reasons: 1, I thought the character designs were ugly as hell (which was one of the reasons I didnt watch a lot of specific cartoons growing up, all said cartoons I wouldnt get into until damn near the end of their lives on tv) and 2nd is because it was on Toon Disney, which i did not have growing up. A couple years ago I decided to watch the entire series, and man oh man, I loved it.
Hell, not having Toon Disney is the reason why for the longest time, I thought Pepper Ann was a boy. As a wee lad, I loved Pepperoni but my sister and mother didnt, so I thought only boys liked it, and due to Pepper Ann's name and hair color, I thought she was named after Pepperoni, so because of thinking she was named after it, and thinking only boys liked it, I thought she was a boy. For a while I tried to remember how I never saw her skirt, and I recently remembered: I thought it was a sweater or something around her waist. Cuz again, I never watched it, but I saw ads and stuff about it
How serendipitous that the one of the two vhs tapes of the rugrats I had growing up included the episode where they go to the movie theater, this aint that but close enough
Great video man! Totally forgot about the scene where Tommy wishes for their dog back, shit got me tearing up
1:47 Bruh, that commercial is absolutely insane in hindsight 😯
“ I can barely hear myself suck”
Bro HUH😭
3:54 See that's why in the revival it's the Grandpa's house and Stu and Didi just live there. It makes more sense
That one scene in The Rugrats Movie where Tommy nearly sells Dill out to the monkeys is just strait-up a Judaism allegory
Lowkey as someone who is a born Floridian, I loved all the jabs to Florida in Teacher's Pet.
The rugrats movie isn't talked about enough
Always feels good to hear that intro
this is the most out of pocket you've been since the puffy amiyumi video 😭
