Product Review

In "Babies in Toyland," it's Dil's first Christmas and the Rugrats want to make sure it's one he'll remember. All, that is, except for bratty Angelica--she just cares about the presents. A group excursion to Christmasland--parents and grandparents included--results in a holiday that no one is likely to soon forget. One thing after another goes wrong, but everybody learns to make the best out of a bad situation (like when those automated Nutcracker figurines go, ahem, nuts). By the end, even Angelica is convinced that it really is better to give than to receive--and hands her gift over to someone more deserving (you'll have to see it to believe it). The 110-minute program includes four other entertaining--but not exactly holiday-oriented--mini-episodes: "The Great Unknown," "Spike's Nightscare," "Cuddle Bunny," and "Falling Stars," a clever spoof of Star Wars (with Angelica as Darth Vader). For ages 3 and up. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
