The movie features the voices of a talented cast including Elizabeth Daily, Christine Cavanaugh, and Kath Soucie. The film is based on the popular Nickelodeon television series of the same name which follows the adventures of a group of toddlers led by Tommy Pickles.

The storyline of The Rugrats Movie is centered around the arrival of Tommy's baby brother, Dil, and how the family's dynamic changes in the process. The Rugrats crew is positively excited about the arrival of the new baby at first, but things take a turn for the worse when they become jealous of the attention that Dil is getting from their parents.

In the midst of all of Dil's crying and fussing, the Rugrats decide to take matters into their own hands and embark on a journey to return Dil to the hospital where they believe he was born. They hope to find a way to restore the family's previous dynamic in the process. The Rugrats tackle this journey with their usual mischievousness, causing them to face numerous obstacles and hardships throughout their adventure.

Along the way, the Rugrats confront personal fears and emotional upheavals while learning the value of loyalty and friendship. The group searches for their way through unknown territories and deals with the fallout of their mistakes, all while attempting to reunite Dil with his parents.

The film is jam-packed with everything that makes the Rugrats series so delightful, from baby talk to overactive imaginations, and of course, the hilarious antics of the group. There are many memorable moments in the film that range from laugh-out-loud funny to heartwarming and emotional.

The characters are all expressive with detailed features, with their movements conveying a sense of fluidity and liveliness.
