The Rugrats gang is supposed to take a cruise, but Stew arranges for something a little different: a cruise on their own little ship. On the voyage they run into a tropical storm and eventually find themselves shipwrecked on an unpopulated island. Unbeknownst to them, Nigel Thornberry and his family is on the other side of the island, trying to capture a very rare cat on film. Nigel Thornberry happens to be Tommy's hero and Tommy believes that he has to be somewhere in the jungle. He convinces the other kids and the Rugrat babies leave their side in the island and enter the jungle hoping to run into Nigel Thornberry. Surprisingly they do. However, Nigel gets bumped on the head and reverts to a childlike state. Angelica meets up with Debbie and Donnie switches clothes with Chucky and chaos insues.

I really enjoyed watching RUGRATS GO WILD. I admit that parts of the movie might be frightening for younger children and the movie deals with some tougher issues that the two shows normally don't touch. Nevertheless, I thought the filmmakers did a wonderful job of bringing everyone together and uniting the two different worlds. Younger children might be frightened by the storm or the wanderings of the babies in the jungle. Some will be confused by all the parallel story-lines. However, older children and youth will probably enjoy the movie and all the different elements. Adults will probably like it as well. I know I did.
