Synopsis
Tommy, his friends, and family travel to Paris, France, where his dad Stu has been summoned to fix the mechanical centerpiece of the EuroReptarLand theme park, a huge Reptar robot (from the Rugrats TV Movie, "Acorn Nuts and Diapie Butts"). Meanwhile, the park's director Coco LeBouche (voiced by Susan Sarandon), is looking for a potential husband (to help herself earn a promotion), and is dating Chuckie's father, with the help of Angelica and Coco's sidekick Jean Claude (voiced by John Lithgow).

A number of real-life landmarks make appearances, including the Arc de Triomphe, the Eiffel Tower, and Notre Dame de Paris (the Louvre is conspicuously absent, however).

Notable events

 * A parody of The Godfather bookends the events of the movie.
 * Coco LaBouche is an homage to Cruella De Vil. In fact, many scenes in this movie make fun of Disney (especially the placement of the theme park in Paris).
 * First appearance of Kira (as Coco's secretary) and her daughter Kimi, as well as Fifi (the new dog).


 * Considered the best of the three theatrical Rugrats movies by both critics and fans alike for its long term development of characters, and for resolving a long running plot thread in the series (Chuckie as motherless), whereas other movies either simply introduced a character (The Rugrats Movie) or involved character crossover (Rugrats Go Wild!).
