Rugrats

AdventureAnimationComedyFamily11 min per episode

Tommy, Chuckie, Phil, Lil, and Angelica are toddlers whose ordinary days keep turning into big adventures once the babies’ imaginations take over. A crawl across the living room, a family errand, or a mix-up with the grown-ups can become an expedition, a standoff, or a minor disaster, usually without the adults noticing what’s really going on. Voices including Elizabeth Daily and Cheryl Chase give the kids distinct personalities, from Tommy’s eager curiosity to Angelica’s talent for stirring things up. The show stays close to a child’s-eye view, where friendship, fear, and discovery all start with the smallest things.
