All Growed Up is the third TV movie of Rugrats that aired on July 21, 2001 during the show's 8th season to celebrate the series' 10th anniversary, and acts as the pilot episode of All Grown Up! Its premise was to focus on what the babies' lives would be like if they were 10 years older. It proved to be popular enough for a spinoff based on it to be made.
When the babies were watching a science fiction oriented movie about a time-traveling machine, Angelica shows them her new "tapiyokie" (karaoke) machine. She forbids the babies to play with it, but, as with many of her toys, they do. Angelica is angry and chases the babies into a closet, with Angelica on the outside. Angelica starts counting to ten for them to come out, and Tommy suggests they go to "the foocher" (the future) so that they will be grown up enough for Angelica not to boss them around any more. Angelica says multiple random numbers in incorrect order before reaching 10, so this gives the babies enough time to rig the karaoke machine into a time-travel device. At the exact moment Angelica reaches ten, Tommy pushes a button and there is a swirling orange vortex and the babies see themselves in the future. Coincidentally, they are now ten years older.
The group stumbles out of the closet and teenage Angelica demands her Emica CD back (Emica is a famous popstar that all the kids like). They want the CD to learn each song in hopes that Emica will call one of them up to sing with her. In the beginning of this part of the episode, nine-year-old Dil is shown to have an unusual personality, and Angelica states that Phil and Lil dropped him on his head when he was a baby. Stu says that he has a disco dance on the same day that the group has their concert. Stu also states that he will wear his lucky zodiac necklace, one similar to Emica's.
