[edit] Removed the following personal commentary:

While a few (mostly younger) fans did enjoy the movie, it was considered to be a disaster by many long time fans and even casual viewers of the show. Many felt that the inclusion of the characters Dil (and his subsquent introduction to the show) was Rugrat's first jump the shark moment. It is still the most popular moment according to [jumptheshark.com]. Others felt the movie was simply "dumb" and revolved too much on potty humor previously used on minimum levels on the show (another thing that carried on afterward), and was as a result a break from the shows original humor stylings and roots..

Wikipedia is not a soapbox for fan complaints, unless properly sourced, referenced, and noted. --FuriousFreddy 02:10, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Movie Summary too long?

I had to scroll down for about 3 seconds at fast speed to skip the summary, so I think it's too long. Is it possible that someone can make a simple sypnosis, instead of every single moment listed here? Abcw12 04:30, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks to whoever shortened the summary. That was just too long! Abcw12 (talk) 00:40, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:TheRugratsMovieposter.jpg

Image:TheRugratsMovieposter.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Reaction section

It seems that another user has readded some bits of what looks like fancruft to me. Statements like these have to be reliably sourced, and don't use IMDb because that's not considered to be a reliable source. 70.101.182.149 (talk) 12:50, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

The whole article is unsourced actually. I'm going to put the info back and place a missing source tag on the article! TheProf07 (talk) 14:21, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

I agree with the IP user. IMDb is not always a reliable source, and some of the "Reaction" material, like that addressed by the IP, should be deleted. Marcus2 (talk) 13:07, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
