History YMMV / RugratsGoWild

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: During the Rugrat familys’ chase after the Lipschitz cruise ship, a couple are seen smugly watching them before clicking their drinks together. Who these two are and why they seem so amused by seeing that is never shown beforehand nor are they ever seen again.

* QuestionableCasting: The only reasonable thing for Creator/BruceWillis voicing Spike.

* WTHCastingAgency: The only reasonable thing that can be said of Creator/BruceWillis voicing Spike.

* TearJerker:
** The scene in which [[spoiler: Nigel sings to the babies as they're trapped underwater, choosing to FaceDeathWithDignity and keep their spirits up to the best of his ability, being certain they wouldn't make it.]]
*** [[spoiler: Susie asking if they can please go home and Nigel not saying a word. The babies all grow quiet as even THEY realize that they might not be getting out of this one.]]
** Spike rushing to retrieve the raft so they can patch the Comvee's pontoon with it [[PapaWolf and save "his" babies]], despite Eliza telling him that it's too dangerous.
--->'''Eliza:''' Spike, no! The waves are too big!\\
'''Spike:''' Hey! [[BadassBoast This is Spike you're talking to! I've paddled my way to more tennis balls than I can count!]] (''gets hit by a wave'') I-If I ''could'' count...\\
'''Eliza:''' But I'm afraid you won't make it!\\
'''Spike:''' Sure I will! [[HeroicSacrifice And if I don't, well, no one's gonna say that old Down Spike didn't try his best!]]
** Everyone, including his wife, losing respect for Stu. Even though the families' almost-deadly situation was his fault, seeing him look so disappointed in himself is hard to see. Worse yet, he did this because he wanted to spend more time [[NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished with his friends.]]

* MemeticBadass: Nigel Thornberry is an in-universe example, to the babies.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: ''The Big Bad Cat's an Act''.
* EnsembleDarkhorse: Spike is one of the most memorable characters in the movie, given he is finally heard speaking (thanks to Eliza) as well as his [[PapaWolf protectiveness]] of the babies.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: Susie was left out of the adventures of the previous two movies. Here she finally gets to be part of the main cast.

* {{Sequelitis}}: Unlike the more successful previous ''Rugrats'' movies, this movie was a box-office disappointment and also partially responsible for the end of Klasky-Csupo.

* VindicatedByHistory: Originally poorly received, opinions of the film have softened over the years thanks to nostalgic fans of Creator/KlaskyCsupo. It's now generally agreed that, while the film isn't great, there's enough to at least please the fans and can be seen as a decent sendoff to the studio's partnership with Nickelodeon.

* HarsherInHindsight: This film boasted a brand-new feature animation logo for Creator/KlaskyCsupo. It was the only time it would be used (save for the DirectToVideo movie made from the [[CompilationMovie completed episodes]] of their never-aired series ''Immigrants'').

* FoeYay: Some of Spike's interactions with Siri could be seen as somewhat flirtatious.

* WTHCastingAgency: The only reasonable thing that can be said of Creator/BruceWillis voicing Spike.

'''Spike:''' Sure I will! [[HeroicSacrifice And if I don't, they won't say old Down Spike didn't try his best!]]

'''Spike:''' Don't worry Eliza! I've paddled my way to more tennis balls than I can count! (''gets hit by a wave'') I-If I ''could'' count...\\

** Everyone, including his wife, losing respect for Stu. Granted their almost deadly situation was his fault, seeing him look so disappointed in himself is hard to see. Worse yet, he did this because he wanted to spend more time [[NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished WITH HIS FRIENDS.]]

* {{Continuity Nod}}: Angelica gets her comeuppance for her Island Princess song and all the mean things she said and did in the form of something very similar to what happened to Siri the Clouded Leopard right before Spike told her to examine her diet.

It's now generally agreed that, while the film isn't great, there's enough to at least please the fans and can be seen as a decent sendoff to the studio's partnership with Nickelodeon.
