New "Rugrats" News & Discussion Thread

[glennbyrnes]

Finally, the apparent first episode of the revival is called "R is for Reptar", whose plot line is: "When the power goes out at the Pickles house, the babies and adults come together to share their own personal favorite Reptar stories. This collection includes short stories by Grandpa Lou, Phil and Lil, Angelica Pickles, Susie Carmichael, and Tommy Pickles as they each tell you their own version of Reptar."

Didn't they have an episode like this in the original series?

IMDb is full of lies and when I try to edit it and provide proper sources, they never listen. They only properly listen to the first editor. It is much much worse than Wikipedia.

It's been confirmed that the new Rugrats series will be CGI.

is it going to be the cgi like in the playstation games if done right

 

[Ghostbuster]

@harry580 It'll be more like the Mr. Peabody & Sherman movie from what I've heard.

The official poster shows Tommy and Angelica with two other new kids. Maybe they are there to replace Dil and Kimmi.

If you're referring to the one on IMDb, it's not official. It's fan art.

I have nothing against CGI inherently, but I don't think the revival will feel quite the same in CGI. Especially considering it's just that, a revival of the original series, not a new series.

Apparently Paul Germain wasn't keen on CGI at first, but was won over by what Nick showed him.

I wonder if they do it Peanuts movie style route, maybe with a Television budget.

As much as I dislike it CGI is cheaper to produce and has a quicker turnaround once the core models are made.

Well, TMNT 2012 was produced in CGI and I liked that show, so maybe this won’t be any different...?

Uhh, you'll have to excuse my ignorance, but isn't CGI the more expensive way to do animation (as opposed to traditional 2D animation)?

There are higher upfront costs, but once the CG models are made they can be posed via software to create animation rather than needing to animate every individual frame.

This isn't Toy Story 1 anymore.

Wow. The Rugrats looks pretty good! It actually does stay true to the original source material.

When I first heard about this announcement about a year or two ago, making the Rugrats characters into CG with it's brand new reboot/revival season, I have massive fears that the designs in CG is gonna look absolutely terrible. But now looking at this poster, it's actually well done.

Though, one minor nitpick I had with the new designs is the pupils. They need to make the pupils a tiny bit bigger because seeing them with the small pupils looks kinda creepy to me.

But other than that, everything else looks great. Great job, Nickelodeon for paying attention to detail.

I'm not sure how people are going to react to it, but I'll wait and see for a trailer to give out a better judgement. If the new revival season actually does stay true to classic Rugrats from my childhood, then I'll give it a watch.

Wow, Rugrats really looks good in CGI.

How do you know? The show hasn't premiered yet, and please don't mention the character designs. Of course, Tommy, Chuckie, Phil, Lil, and Susie (from the image) would look like they should. I imagine all the characters will, but as I'm sure you know, it's the writing that will determine whether or not it stays true to the original source material. I mean...I don't THINK it's going to be self-parody/tribute that doesn't know what it's talking about, but once the show premieres, we'll know for sure, won't we?...

 

[Dr.Pepper]

Wow. This looks a million times better than I expected.

 

[Ghoster1987]

I wonder how they're going to look like in motion.

also jeez feels like 2009-2013 Nick all over again with them going crazy with CGI shows. At least one original 2D Nicktoon is coming
