If you ask any ’90s kids what their favorite cartoon is, you’re most likely going to hear Rugrats. That’s because the characters were genuinely funny, imaginative, and brave. The fact that the main characters are all babies makes it even better! Despite our love for Rugrats, there are still so many things fans don’t know about their favorite cartoon. Here are 12 things you probably never knew about the show.
1. Chuckie, Tommy, Phil and Lil are all voiced by women.
