Tommy
Pickles, leader of our intrepid band of Rugrats, is intelligent,
courageous, compassionate and articulate. He also happens to be one year
old, which gives him an endlessly interesting perspective on life. Stu
and Didi Pickles do their best to coddle their only child. But as Tommy
says, "A baby's gotta do what a baby's gotta do." Under the not
very watchful eyes of the grown-ups, he leads his Rugrats friends on
expeditions to unravel the great mysteries of life-like, "Where does
the light go when the refrigerator door is closed?" To Tommy Pickles, the world doesn't always make sense, but it makes an incredible amusement park. In every crowd there's a worrywart, and among the Rugrats it's Charles Finster, Jr. Tommy's best friend Chuckie is a likable two-year old scaredy-cat who sees monsters in every closet and worries about a hundred ways things can go wrong. Tommy's adventurous schemes often reduce Chuckie to shivers. "M-m-maybe this isn't such a good idea," he'll suggest, as the Rugrats are off to sneak into the dark and dank garage. But since Chuckie also hates being left behind, he trudges along warily. And in the process, he often surprises himself with the courage he summons up. Like his dad, Charles Sr., Chuckie never forgets that every silver lining comes with a cloud attached. AngelicaShe's tempestuous. She's tyrannical. She's three. Tommy's cousin Angelica is a Rugrats alumna who can talk both to grown-ups and toddlers. She manipulates strangers- and when she comes to play, the Rugrats run for cover. "You stupid-babies!" She bellows as she bullies them into playing by her rules. "You don't know anything!" She screams as she terrorizes them with "true" stories from her imagination. Even worse, she forces them to sit still for her off-key, lyrically mangled musical numbers. Beneath her cold, hard exterior beats the heart of a true spoiled brat. But however cleverly devilish her schemes, somehow Angelica always seems to get the worse of it. Phil and LilNext door to the Pickles live fifteen-month-old twins Phil and Lil DeVille. They think alike, act alike, and even finish each other's sentences. (Lil is the one with the bow in her hair.) "Often visiting the Pickles with their mom, Betty, the twins are loyal followers of Tommy Pickles who joyfully participate in every Rugrats adventure- and the messier and scarier, the better. Their specialties: mudpies, bugs, and moldy things forgotten under sofas and beds. Phil and Lil are as close as siblings can be. They get along wonderfully and argue frequently. |
