A baby's gotta do what a baby's gotta do, even when they're decades old.
The "Rugrats" are back nearly 30 years after their original show premiered on Nickelodeon. This time around, the babies are animated in CGI and available to watch on Paramount Plus.
"Rugrats" (2021) follows Tommy, Chuckie, Angelica, Susie, Phil, and Lil as they embark on adventures around the home. The series kicked off May 27 with five episodes. All voice actors from the original series' last season are back for the new show, including E.G. Daily, Nancy Cartwright, and Cree Summer.
