The Rugrats Movie (1998) - Tommy’s Big Brother Responsibilities 

Look how tommys father shows him the picture of he and his brother when they were kids back then all those years ago

Now this is why the original is superior No one puts this much heart and soul

Stu likely noticed that Tommy and dil had tension. And didn’t want them to end up like him and Drew.

I like to think Grandpa Lou gave Drew a similar talk after Stu was born.

I really liked how stu was giving his tommy some good advice on being a big brother, and not turn out like stu and drew when they were babies. Remember there was an episode of them in that flashback of how they constantly fought.

I had to give my 5 year old daughter the same speech after her brother was born

I really like this scene with Tommy and Stu talk about responsibility.

0:23 Whats even crazier about this speech is Drew is actually older than Stu, even though it always felt like Stu was the older brother

“Keep in mind, Champ, I’m a little brother myself.”

I guess Stu was trying to teach Tommy a lesson in brother responsibility in attempt to avoid Tommy and Dill relationship turning into the same as his own with Drew

How fast 25 years goes by for this film

How can you not tear up...

Can you believe one of the show's creators hated this scene? He says that one of the show's rules was that the babies shouldn't interact often with the adults.

I love this scene,

Honestly, I think if he also explained that smaller babies don't really understand about some of the things bigger kids (and in this case bigger babies) do and that as long as they teach him as he grows, he'll understand a lot more, it would've came across Tommy's mind a bit better and he wouldn't have thought that Dil was just being very naughty near the end

Phil and Lil were the real villains of this movie and Dil was only a month old. Also with brothers Stu and Drew bickering all the time, fans usually take Stu's side. But I think they're just overreacting so much that they never take the time to notice that underneath that uptight, short-tempered, snobby, and sometimes a bully personality like his daughter Angelica, he's generally not a terrible person and he really loves his brother Stu dearly and even though Stu is too stubborn to take Drew's advice about finding a real job to financially support his family, he really loves him too!

Sweet that underneath all of the bickering are two brothers who do cares for each other deeply. The two are pure opposites with Drew being more serious and conservative while Stu is more free-spirited and wacky. However, deep down Drew do want to ensures that his brother's family are living comfortable financially and trust his brother and sister in law to watch over his precious daughter while he and his wife are at work. Meanwhile Stu may not admit it to Drew but deep down he does cares what his brother thinks of him and wants Drew to be proud to be a brother of an inventor.

so in the future tommy and dil will always be brothers always.

I know they tried to have this be a charming scene but... Tommy is 1. Stu having this kind of talk is weird even for this franchise.

Gotta have faith!

It is kinda sweet
