Rugrats in Paris: The Movie is a 2000 American animated comedy film based on the Nickelodeon animated television series Rugrats. It is the second installment in the Rugrats film series and the sequel to The Rugrats Movie (1998). The film marks the first appearances of Kimi Watanabe and her mother, Kira, as well as the first significant villains in the Rugrats franchise, the child-hating Coco LaBouche and her accomplice, Jean-Claude. The plot takes place before the series' seventh season, and focuses on Chuckie Finster as he embarks on a mission to find a new mommy during a joint family vacation to Paris, France.
Rugrats in Paris: The Movie was released in the United States on November 17, 2000, by Paramount Pictures. It received generally positive reviews from critics and grossed $103 million against a budget of $30 million. This was the final Rugrats film to feature Christine Cavanaugh as the voice of Chuckie, who retired from acting in 2001 before she died in 2014. A sequel and crossover with The Wild Thornberrys, Rugrats Go Wild, was released in 2003.
