Tommy Pickles

Pickles brothers till the end! - Quote by both Tommy and Dil in "Brother, Can You Spare the Time?" 
Tommy Pickles is a fictional character that appears in the Nickelodeon animated television series Rugrats and its spin-off All Grown Up! as the protagonist of the shows. He is voiced by E.G. Daily.
==Why He Rocks==
===Overall===
#He is greatly voiced by E.G. Daily.
===Rugrats===
# He is the courageous, compassionate, intelligent leader of the Rugrats, and so always leads his friends during adventures and knows what to do in most situations.
#He also happens to be only one year old, which gives him an endlessly interesting perspective on life, being a baby.
#He likes to unravel the great mysteries of life, like learning what it means to be a big brother.
#He is a loyal friend, as he’s always there for Phil, Lil, Kimi, Susie, and especially Chuckie.
#*His friendship with Phil, Lil and Chuckie was emotionally tested in The Rugrats Movie, as the struggle of Dil was getting to them. Eventually, the babies made up and reunite with Tommy, and help him and Dil get out of the forest to the "lizard’s house".
#He loves his family very much, his grandparents, his parents, even his cousin Angelica, etc.
#*He especially loves his baby brother, Dil, and that emotional scene in The Rugrats Movie where they greatly bond and Tommy apologizes to him. Since then, Tommy has shown the great mysteries of life to him, and teaching his brother the great aspects of life, and always there to protect him during their adventures.
# He is very playful and loves going on adventures, such as exploring the forest, as well as Paris during the first 2 movies.
#He comes up with the most ideas to get himself and the other babies out of trouble, like how he saw the Reptar robot during Rugrats in Paris, and so came up with the ideas to get him and the rest of his friends, his brother and his cousin out of there and march to stop the wedding.
# Once Tommy lost his bravery in "The Bravliest Baby", however he was able to come back from it and help his friends and lead them once more.
===All Grown Up===
#He is more mature in this series.
#Same personality.
#His cute crush on Kimi Finster.
#He’s no longer short-tempered, stubborn, smug, or naive, as he became calmer, smarter, and more understanding of certain situations.
#He has an interest in film making, which is actually a good connection to when he was younger:
#*This was actually shown in Rugrats Go Wild!, when he wanted to be like Nigel Thornberry, who is a film documenter.
#*This is also shown in the episode, "Truth or Consequences", when his younger self picked up a camera and recorded for the first time.
#Just like in the original Rugrats, he likes to unravel the great mysteries of life.
==Bad Qualities==
===Rugrats ===
#He can be short-tempered, such as when he finally snaps after Dil put him through so much pressure during The Rugrats Movie.
#Like most Klasky Csupo characters, his design is a bit ugly, but not as ugly as most of the other Klasky Csupo character design.
# He is stubborn at times, like during The Rugrats Movie, when he and Dil were first pulling on a bear at home, and then a blanket in the forest.
#If under the influence of Angelica, he can be a bit smug, like when Angelica tricked him, and the rest of the babies, into thinking she had a twin sister, and when she had him, along with the rest of the babies, eat ice cream, so she could hide the fact that she was sick.
#He of course can be naive at times because he is still a baby, like not understanding about going back to school, or when Angelica needed to stay quiet, but he couldn’t understand her.
#Like all of the other Rugrats, he cries a little too often throughout the series, which can get annoying (although this is understandable since he is a baby).
#He is unlikable sometimes, like in "Grandpa’s Bad Bug" and "Hold the Pickles", for torturing his Grandpa Lou and his brother Dil, respectfully, with his friends.
===All Grown Up!===
#He can be a little bit stereotypical.
#Most of the time he can screw up just to learn a lesson, but then he immediately forgets it the next episode.
#He got slightly flanderized in this spin-off, as he is less optimistic and more prone to acting negative, but he kept most of his charm.
#He can be unlikable sometimes, like in "Tweenage Tycoons" for not leaving poor Dil alone when Dil was struggling with ideas on getting money for him and his friends to get concert tickets.
==Trivia==
*Tommy is based on Arlene Klasky's son.
