Rugrats - "Opposites Attract"

Now, I'm going to review "Opposites Attract" one of my favorite episodes from the sixth season of Rugrats. Not much to say except let's get started, shall we.

The basic premise of the episode is that Tommy wants to go jump on rocks, but Chuckie on the other hand wants to go pick dandelions. This results to your typical Rugrats episode where a main character's best friend gets stuck in a quarrel that they can't get out of until the very end. That said, Tommy goes find somebody else to play with, and he comes across Samantha, an energetic bandage filled young girl, voiced by Noelle North, famous for her roles on The Adventures of Gummi Bears, Jem, and The Smurfs, here, she plays her biggest role as the energetic girl who has the same personality as Tommy. Meanwhile, Chuckie comes across Freddy, who is afraid of everything like Chuckie, and he is voiced by Hynden Walch in one of her earliest voice roles. She's more famous for her roles as Penny Sanchez in ChalkZone and Starfire on Teen Titans. Meanwhile, Phil and Lil collect ants and Didi and Betty play cards.

Much like "He Saw, She Saw," this episode is pretty cute and funny at the same time. I especially like Samantha's voice that Noelle North pulled on her, her energetic voice makes her sound so unique, and Hynden Walch puts a worrywart sounding voice for Freddy on this innocent young kid. One thing that really confuses me is that Freddy is more of a scaredy cat than Chuckie is, in fact, it goes so far that Chuckie even calls him out on it. But the one thing that baffles me is that when Chuckie is yelling a Freddy, Freddy just stands there, just flinching, not even bothering to leave and call for his mommy, I get that Chuckie's mad at Freddy for making all that stuff up, but that shouldn't keep her from running away; Sorry, just had to get that off my chest.

The highlight of the episode is when Sam jumps into a mud puddle and says "Geronimo, YEOW!" and also trying to go over the bar, like most kids would. The weirdest imagery I've seen is that from Freddy's point of view when Sam is "trying" to pull him up, is that Freddy thinks Samantha is an ant pulling her hair, that is weird, but funny at the same time when you think about it. In the end, as usual, Chuckie and Tommy cooperate to stop all this, and then they reconcile. Why am I not surprised? Anyways, this episode is pretty good, it's cute, funny, and it's got a good moral, don't always be afraid. Take note of that Professor Proofed you can actually make the Professor call out on the Girls for over protecting him and not make him go along with it. Go watch this episode if you come across it, okay? Good.
