Rugrats in Paris: The Movie is a 2000 American animated comedy-drama film. It is the second film in the Rugrats film series, which in turn was based on the popular Nickelodeon series, Rugrats.

In the film, Chuckie Finster takes the lead character role as he searches to find a new mother. It was produced by Nickelodeon Movies and Klasky Csupo and distributed by Paramount Pictures and released into theaters on November 17, 2000. The film grossed $76.5 million in the United States and Canada, and $103.3 million worldwide.

The film marks the only appearance of two villains in the Rugrats franchise, Coco LaBouche, a cruel woman who hates children, including babies, and her accomplice, Jean-Claude. The film also marks the first appearance of new Rugrats character Kimi Finster and her mother, Kira. The film was released in the United Kingdom on April 6, 2001, and topped the country's box office that weekend.

The film opens with a parody of Paramount's 1972 film The Godfather at the wedding reception of Lou Pickles and his new wife, Lulu. A mother-child dance during the reception saddens Chuckie Finster, who realizes that he has lived over two years of his life without his mother, who died of cancer shortly after he was born. His father, Chas, shares Chuckie's loneliness.

Tommy Pickles' father, Stu, is summoned to EuroReptarland, a Japanese amusement park in Paris, France, to fix a malfunctioning Reptar robot. Due to a misunderstanding, Tommy, Chuckie, Phil, Lil, Angelica, Dil, their dog Spike and all their parents travel to Paris to take a vacation at the park.
