  • Rugrats Revisited: Part 10 By: Roxanne Greenberg the First Movie (November 20, 1998): Way Back in '96, in an Arrangement Between
    Rugrats Revisited: Part 10 By: Roxanne Greenberg The First Movie (November 20, 1998): Way back in '96, in an arrangement between Nickelodeon and Paramount Pictures, the Nickelodeon Movies branch was created; with the intent on bringing their hit TV shows to the silver screen. Their first effort, though, was not an adaptation of one of their shows, but of a children's book: Harriet the Spy. Their next effort, though, was an adaptation of one of their shows...in part, at least: Good Burger, based off the reoccurring sketch from All That about working for a fast food joint. The successes of those two films, on top of the growing popularity of Rugrats, ultimately lead to what would become Nick's biggest hit of that era: The Rugrats Movie. It's worth noting that, while the reaction from critics was mixed (The film is ranked at a 59% "rotten" rating on review aggregator, Rotten Tomatoes; 1% shy of being ranked as “fresh”), the film was a huge success financially; according to the Klasky-Csupo website, it was the first non-Disney animated movie to gross over $100 million worldwide during its theatrical run…which isn’t true, when Don Bluth’s An American Tail, released in 1986, holds that honor (Although I couldn't find any info on if that was adjusted for inflation or not). I remember when this came out, I wanted to see it in theaters...but I couldn't talk my parents into taking me (In fact, I wouldn't see my first movie in theaters until almost a year later; with Star Wars Episode I), so I ended up waiting until it came out on home video, so we could rent it.

After finding success in his chosen filmmaking profession years later, he seeks to make it up to his English teacher by reconnecting with her and giving the best book report of Moby Dick ever written. The crew follows his efforts, which also detail how reading itself can inspire us, help us and sharpen the intellect. It also shows what happens to current students who are struggling with dyslexia and what can be done to help them out.
