RUGRATS Imagined as Adults by Original Animated Series Artist
For all those who have ever wondered what the little Rugrats toddlers would look like as adults, today is your lucky day! Eric Kolinsky, who was a storyboard artist on the '90s series, shows us how Tommy, Chuckie, Phil, Lil, Dil, Kimi, Angelica, and Susie grew up.
In an interview with Studio360 he talked about working on the series and how he found it annoying:
“It really bugs me — not the quality of the artwork, but the interpretation. We referred to them as lumpy babies for a reason. If we ever drew the Rugrats as being too cute, our executive producer would scold us.”
He went on to talk about these adult character designs for the characters saying:
“The Rugrats did not all grow up to be fashion models or self-confident hipsters. Especially not Chuckie. They probably grew up to be average if not slightly lumpy looking people — just like their parents.”
It’s interesting to see how these characters might have turned out after all these years.
