WATCH: Rugrats are getting a soulless CGI reboot

Is God dead? The first look at the CGI reboot of Nickelodeon’s Rugrats would appear to support such a notion.

ViacomCBS held their investor’s meeting yesterday and announced tons of new content. Among the “highlights” was a preview for the forthcoming Rugrats revival. It finds the original voice cast reuniting with a CGI twist.

Rugrats originally ran on Nickelodeon for nine seasons between 1991 and 2004. The show spawned three movies and a spinoff series, All Grown Up!, which depicted the characters in their teen years. Paramount was also planning on a CGI/live action Rugrats film, which has since been cancelled.

The revival series will premiere on the streaming service Paramount+ later this year. Paramount+ is a rebranding as CBS All Access. It will feature classic television titles such as Reno 911! and iCarly. The streaming service will also include revivals, spinoffs and movies for entities like Spongebob Squarepants, Workaholics and Frasier, among others.

Paramount+ debuts in the United States and 18 Latin American countries on March 4. The streaming service is set to launch in Canada at a later date this year.
