History WesternAnimation / RugratsInParis

** In a more literal case following Coco's defeat, Jean-Claude gets attacked by the Pickles' dog Spike for helping Coco in kidnapping and attempting to hurt the babies.

** Angelica is the one who plots with Coco. She ends up getting imprisoned with all the kids, then being left behind by the Reptar mech, knocked off a bridge when it crashes through it, clings for dear life on his nostril, gets sprayed with imitation boogers, gripped in his hand, tossed up the Eiffel Tower, thrown into his mouth, swung round trying to climb a ladder...

--->'''Angelica''': (after confessing her misdeeds) I know it was bad... even for me. But sometimes, I just can't help myself. (sadly) I'm sorry, Chuckie.

* HypocriticalHeartwarming: After her plot's been exposed, Coco screams at the babies to get off her wedding train so she can chase after he boss to talk him out of firing her. Angelica

* FoodFight: During the final scene, with the wedding cake.

* PercussiveMaintenance: Right before the wedding starts, Howard is seen smacking his camcorder

* WhatYouAreInTheDark: On the day Chas and Coco are to marry, while she's preparing for said wedding, the audience gets a full view of her nastiness at its worst. With none of their parents (especially Chas) around to witness it, Coco (in company of Jean Claude) disparages the collective babies for how they disgust her, steals Chuckie's Wawa because [[ForTheEvulz she wants it burned]], and orders Jean Claude to have them locked up in a warehouse somewhere. And for good measure, she [[ILied rescinds her promise]] to Angelica to let her attend the wedding as her flower girl.
** Played with, however, as one parent was witness to this atrocious behavior: Kira. However, since Coco regards her as nothing but a lowly assistant who [[TheYesMan obeys her]], so in her mind, she doesn't count. Regardless, Kira seeing her unadulterated nastiness towards the babies is what inspires her to turn on her boss.

* NeverTrustATrailer:
** The theatrical trailer includes a bit where Angelica demands to know which of the babies put a pooped diaper in her suitcase, falls over due to her platform shoes, and Phil comments that "someone got up on the wrong side of the bread". There is no such scene in the movie, although Phil's line pops up on a different scene (referring to a mean stewardess, rather than Angelica). Also, the shot of Spike urinating on the Eiffel Tower and the Rugrats using the Reptar bot is shown happening in daylight rather than nighttime and dusk as in the actual film. Chuckie also doesn't wear the helmet to pilot the Reptar bot like in the trailer; Tommy instead wears it and sits on Chuckie's shoulders.

The film also stars Creator/EGDaily as Tommy Pickles, Creator/TaraStrong as Dil Pickles, Creator/KathSoucie as Phil, Lil and Betty [=DeVille=], Creator/MelanieChartoff as Didi Pickles, Creator/TressMacNeille as Charlotte Pickles and Creator/PhilipProctor as Howard [=DeVille=].

* DemotedToExtra: Susie, who misses out on the trip to Paris. Randy and Lucy would have theoretically brought the kids along, and Coco was already covering the expenses of the people who ''did'' go on the trip. Grandpa Lou and Lulu likewise only appear in the wedding at the start. Grandpa Boris and Grandma Minka likewise only make non speaking cameos.

The plot is as follows: Chuckie Finster (Creator/ChristineCavanaugh) realizes he has an empty void in his life left by the death of his mom, and he wishes he had a new mother to help him deal with his loss. Meanwhile, a Reptar robot that Stu Pickles (Jack Riley) made for [=EuroReptarland=], a French theme park featuring Reptar, malfunctions, so he is called to come there for repairs, bringing all the kids' families with him.

Over in Paris, we meet Coco [=LaBouche=] (Creator/SusanSarandon) and her smarmy sidekick Jean-Claude (Creator/JohnLithgow). Coco is looking to be promoted to the head of Yamaguchi Industries (the parent company for the Reptar-franchise). Since Mr. Yamaguchi (Creator/{{Mako}}), the current head of the company (and Coco's boss), wants his successor to have "the heart of a child," especially since kids are the main audience for the Reptar-franchise. Learning this, Coco lies to her boss by claiming that she loves children and is even engaged to a man with a child of his own. When Coco catches Angelica (Cheryl Chase) having been eavesdropping on her, Angelica offers to help set her up with Chuckie's dad, Chas (Creator/MichaelBell). Coco then pretends to take interest in Chas and gradually wins him over but has little luck trying to bond with Chuckie (especially since she shows what's BeneathTheMask to the kids behind Chas's back). During their Parisian adventure, the Rugrats meet a girl their age, Kimi Watanabe (Dionne Quan), and her mother, Kira (Julia Kato), an assistant of Coco's, who develops a mutual romantic interest in Chas. Also, Tommy's dog Spike falls for a poodle named Fifi.

The film is notable for being Cavanaugh's final performance as Chuckie and final role before her retirement from acting later that year.

* LighterAndSofter: When compared to the DarkerAndEdgier tone of ''WesternAnimation/TheRugratsMovie'', this movie is much lighter and more in tone with the series, though it actually features a main human villain instead of wild animals and a Jerkass reporter.

* MeaningfulEcho: The first time Kira says a poem about caring for children is "One of [her] favorites", it's relayed unceremoniously through Coco to look endearing to Chaz. [[spoiler: The second time she says so, it's to Chaz in person, marking the heartwarming instance where they not only fall in love, but Chaz recognizes her as a [[GoodParents loving parent]] [[BirdsOfAFeather like himself]].]]

* {{Symbolism}}: [[spoiler: When Chaz is about to get married to Coco, Didi and Betty reflect his Super Ego and Id (respectively). Didi (Super Ego) warns that marriage is a big step and he may wnat to reconsider tying the knot with Coco so quickly, while Betty (ID) throws caution to the wind and supports the idea of Chaz marrying on the fly.]]

* {{Blackmail}}: Angelica makes it clear to Coco that she can rat out her true intentions of courting Chas to the adults unless she's given something in return.

* KickTheDog: Coco attempts to wrench Chuckie's [[TragicKeepsake teddy bear]] out of his hands, causing a tug-of-war which the other babies get involved in. [[spoiler:But that's nothing compared to when Coco orders Kira to take the bear and burn it after having Jean-Claude to have Angelica and the babies locked away from the wedding.]]

** The film starts with the babies playing The Bobfather during Lou and Lulu's wedding reception before joining in on the party; the film ends with the same thing happening at [[spoiler:Chas and Kira's]] wedding reception.

* TakeThat: The "Ooey Gooey World" ride seems to be a parody of "[[Ride/DisneyThemeParks It's a Small World]]." Coco even complains about its EarWorm song.
