** With The Wild Dingleberries Movie, to a ''very'' tumultuous time in American animation and the industry that is woefully underdocumented and mentioned, but [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ED0ySD51Z2U does exist]]: Where big time animation giants Disney and Nickelodeon were milking in house cartoon shows to make onto the cinema big screen for an extra helping of profit, and essentially killed off any major movie interest in 2D animation for a good decade. While Nickelodeon did start this trend, the instigating feature of ''The Rugrats Movie'' and even the parodied ''The Wild Thornberries Movie'' were at least well made for the big screen; only ''Hey Arnold! The Movie'' (Craig Barlett is Matt Groening's cousin, so some favoritism might have been involved) and all of the flak The Simpsons gives to Disney would have been more appropriate, as they were playing the dueling train far much worse. And that's before getting into the [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsonsMovie actual movie]] the show put out three years later.
