action

During Tommy's grandfather Lou's wedding party, Chuckie and his father Chaz realize how much they miss Chuckie's mother and Chaz's wife, respectively. Chaz believes that a new mother would be good for them. Shortly afterwards, Tommy's father, Stu, received a call from Paris: he was supposed to go to the Reptarland amusement park to repair a giant reptilian robot. Together with his wife Didi, his sons Tommy and Dil, his niece Angelica, the dog Spike, the friends Howard and Betty and their children, the twins Phil and Lil, he immediately sets off on a journey to the city of love. Of course, Chaz and Chuckie also come along. Chuckie hopes to find a new mother in Paris.

Meanwhile, the bitchy park manager Coco La Bouche learns from her boss Yamaguchi that she can take over Reptarland if she has a heart for children. The catch is that she doesn't have a heart or can stand children. Angelica tells her that Chaz is a single parent, which she sees as a good opportunity. She immediately tries to ensnare him so that he will marry her. The children get to know Coco's friendly secretary Kira Watanabe and her daughter Kimi, who immediately befriends them. With a mean trick, Coco manages to make Chaz believe that Chuckie wants her as a new mother. But then she has the children locked up and even takes Chuckie away from his dead mother's teddy bear, which even shocks faithful Kira.

But then the children manage to blow up the wedding with the help of a giant reptilian robot, whereby Chuckie learns his first word: "No." Finally, even Coco's stupid accomplice Jean-Claude comes over and unintentionally reveals Coco's nasty plans. The result: Coco is released and Chuckie not only gets a new mother in Kira, but also a new sister in Kimi. But Tommy's dog Spike can also present a success from the trip: a nice poodle lady!

criticism

The US-American film critic Roger Ebert certified the film that it was " better than the Rugrats film from 1998, funnier, funnier and with more identification points for adults ". Ebert particularly praised the appearance of the film, which “will be familiar to everyone who knows the TV show ”. The film is also suitable for adults. The Lexicon of International Films classified the film as " largely tough and humorlessly developed cartoon ", " which only offers sparkling gags in a few moments ".
