Rugrats

Rugrats is an animated television show produced by Klasky Csupo and first aired on Nickelodeon in 1991. This series focuses on the point of view of a group of babies, including Tommy Pickles, Chuckie Finster, Phil and Lil DeVille, and Angelica Pickles. The series led to movies, the spin-off All Grown Up, and a 2021 computer animated revamp (which postdated the CG revamp of Muppet Babies).
In 2024, Jim Henson's Creature Shop constructed walk-around versions of Tommy and Chuckie for the Nickelodeon Riviera Maya resort in Mexico.Instagram. June 8, 2024
