Rugrats

Rugrats is an American animated series, produced by Klasky-Csupo, Inc. for Nickelodeon. The series ran from 1991 to 1994, and again from 1997 to 2005. The show is about how babies and young children view life and perceive the events happening around them. more...

The toddlers in the show, Tommy Pickles, Chuckie Finster and the twins Phillip (Phil) and Lillian (Lil) DeVille, are able to communicate to each other in baby speak that the adults are unable to understand. Oftentimes, they mispronounce words or use poor grammar (in one episode, Chuckie uses the phrase "as God as my witness", but instead says, "as Bob as my witless"). Despite the toddler's inability to communicate with the adults, they can understand their parents' speaking, although often misunderstand what they say, usually by taking metaphors literally. Angelica Pickles, at age three, is able to communicate and understand language from both the toddlers and the adults, which she often uses as an advantage when she wants to manipulate either party.

Characters

The children

• Tommy Pickles (voiced by E.G. Daily, and Tami Holbrook in the unseen pilot): The most adventurous baby, always getting the group into trouble. Generally considered the babies' leader. Tommy is named after the first son of Paul Germain, one of the show's creators.
• Dil Pickles (voiced by Tara Strong): Tommy's younger brother, a true baby (i.e. not a toddler like the other children). Introduced in the first Rugrats movie.
• Angelica Pickles (voiced by Cheryl Chase): Tommy and Dil's cousin who always bosses the "babies" around, being the oldest about 3 years old. Enjoys lying to the toddlers, distorting & twisting their perception of reality. Acts perfect towards the adults but is generally mean to the babies.
• Chuckie Finster (voiced by Christine Cavanaugh up to 2002, Nancy Cartwright since): Tommy's loyal sidekick. Afraid of everything, especially clowns and the guy on the Oatmeal box.
• Phil and Lil DeVille (both voiced by Kath Soucie): fraternal twins (boy and girl) that have everything in common. Both enjoy playing in mud and like to eat worms and insects.
• Kimi Finster (voiced by Dionne Quan): Chuckie's younger step-sister, introduced in the second Rugrats movie, Rugrats in Paris. Kimi is a very happy girl who is always smiling.
• Susie Carmichael (voiced by Cree Summer): A neighborhood friend who is about Angelica's age. When around, Susie often stands up to Angelica when she taunts the young toddlers. She also has two older brothers, Edwin and Buster and older sister Alisha.
