Rugrats is Nickelodeon’s classic hit animated series about life from a baby’s point of view. Whenever adults are around, the Rugrats act like real babies, but when they’re alone they drop their witless pose and talk to each other with the vocabulary of five-year-olds.

As Tommy and his pals wobble through life, supported by legs not yet used to walking, they show us the world as a baby views and understands it. The Rugrats’ world is one that exists below our knees; here mundane things and events turn into grand, comic adventures.

Jimmmy Neutron leads “The Big Surprise” Pre-Show cast of that features Spongebob, Dora The Explorer, Blue’s Clues and Fairly Odd Parents through a series of exciting and surprising adventures.
