In 1991, Arlene Klasky, Gabor Csupo, and Paul Germain, created the cartoon Rugrats. Rugrats was created to express an imaginative world of babies with the humor of a baby’s point of view of life. It gave color to what babies could or would say if they could talk. 

Rugrats also showed kids adventure and boosted their imagination. No one thought “Rugrats” was gonna be a hit. But the cartoon is still going strong. Rugrats’ relatable characters, engaging storylines, and the very unique comedy style is what helped the show thrive.

“A baby;s gotta do what a baby’s gotta do!” was a very popular line in the show. Feeding the characters and audience. “Tommy Pickles” was the leader of the group, wanting to explore the world with the innocent perspective of a baby. “Angelica”,Tommy’s older cousin, represented securities and manipulation of the world. Then you have Dil Pickles, the younger brother. He showed the development of complex thinking patterns. Trying to understand interaction with his cousin and brother.

The Pickles family shows a typical family,with the interactions with siblings and parents. Rugrats was an important cartoon because not only it puts imagination out there and represents lives, it also has a cultural significance, Representing American Jewish Life. Rugrats is quite a hit for children and their families.
