History Trivia / TheRugratsMovie

* CreditsPushback: When Nickelodeon first ran the movie, they did this, and instead of using the movie's credits, they copied the credits straight from IMDB - complete with some credits having "[Uncredited]" next to them!

** The Creator/{{CBS}} broadcast included two scenes that were cut from the theatrical and video releases - the first one is about [[http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xzt5bd_the-rugrats-movie-missing-scene-when-the-baby-cries_shortfilms Stu and Didi having a nightmare about Dr. Lipschitz]], and the second had [[http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xzt5d0_the-rugrats-movie-missing-scene-army-chant_shortfilms the Rugrats dragging the Reptar Wagon up a hill while singing to an army chant]] (the latter scene was included in the print novelization). Unfortunately, very few people watched the CBS broadcast, and these scenes are also not included on the DVD release, but they were retained in Nickelodeon's broadcasts of the film, until November 2018, when Creator/NickRewind aired a newer HD master of the film lacking the scenes.

* CutSong: Music/DavidBowie recorded a song titled "(Safe in This) Sky Life" for the film's soundtrack, but it was ultimately cut, due to the scene it was written for being axed from the film. The song would eventually be re-recorded as the B-side to Bowie's 2002 single "Everyone Says 'Hi'", under the shortened title of "Safe". The re-recording was also included on the SACD and Japanese deluxe edition releases of ''Music/{{Heathen}}''. Also the song "When The Baby Cries" (and it's lead up scene) were cut from the Theatrical Release and only aired on television airings as the surreal visuals didn't test well.

** In 1993, Creator/TwentiethCenturyFox was going to release feature films based on the first three Creator/{{Nicktoons}}: ''WesternAnimation/{{Doug}}'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'', and ''WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow''. These plans fell through and only the ''Rugrats'' film got made under Nickelodeon's guidance[[note]]though ''WesternAnimation/Dougs1stMovie'' got made when the rights were sold to Disney. What the original plot consisted of is unknown[[/note]].

** Another unspecified deleted scene is notable for featuring "(Safe in This) Sky Life", a song written for the film by Music/DavidBowie of all people; the scene's axing meant that the song had to be left off the film's soundtrack album, and the song was later re-recorded under the shortened title of "Safe" as a B-side to a single off of Bowie's 2002 album ''Music/{{Heathen}}''. The 1998 version notably marked the first project between Bowie and longtime collaborator Tony Visconti in 18 years; the two fell out just before production on Bowie's ''Music/LetsDance'' began, leading them to part ways for most of the 80's and 90's. Bowie and Visconti's partnership for "(Safe in This) Sky Life" was a one-off at the time, but they'd meet up again and establish a more permanent working relationship with ''Heathen'', with Visconti producing all of Bowie's work from that point onward until the latter's death in 2016.

* CutSong: Music/DavidBowie recorded a song titled "(Safe in This) Sky Life" for the film's soundtrack, but it was ultimately cut, presumably because it wouldn't have meshed well with the finalized hip-hop-centric version. The song would eventually be re-recorded as the B-side to Bowie's 2002 single [[Music/{{Heathen}} "Everyone Says 'Hi'"]], under the shortened title of "Safe".
