All Grown Up! is an animated television series. It is a spin-off of the popular series Rugrats, and is produced by Klasky-Csupo, Inc. for Nickelodeon.
The series revolves around the lives of the familiar characters, now nine years older. The kids appear to be in their teen years. It premiered in April 2003 as a preview before starting its regular run in late November (although in October, it began its regular run in the UK, on ITV1, and in Canada on YTV). The show is based on the Rugrats' 10th anniversary episode, "All Growed Up" (aired in 2001), which proved so popular that Nickelodeon decided to commission a whole series. Production began in September 2002. The principal characters and their traits (as well as their voice performers) have been carried over from the original Rugrats series, with a handful of changes and additional character traits, for example:
- Phil (Kath Soucie) still revels in mess, but his sister Lil (also Kath Soucie) focuses on finding her place in the school social scene,
- Dil (Tara Strong), younger brother of would-be filmmaker Tommy (E.G. Daily), behaves weirdly at school (ex. by walking backwards and eating strange food), and
- Angelica (Cheryl Chase) thinks she is so popular, however, Susie (Cree Summer, who also sings the series' theme song) is upstaging her as a singer with real talent. Besides being a talented singer, Susie is also a great student.
- Kimi (Dionne Quan) has developed a close-knit friendship with Susie. (Cases in point: "Runaround Susie" and "Susie Sings The Blues".)
Also, a handful of new characters have been added, for example:
- Harold Rumkin (Pat Musick), Angelica's flunky who knew her and Susie since pre-school, who has also appeared in the later episodes of Rugrats
- Savannah (Shayna Fox, also the voice of Reggie Rocket on Rocket Power), the leader of the popular crowd at the Rugrats' school, who also looks down on Angelica, as she has been a popular teen for much longer than Angelica. Klasky Csupo claims that she was first introduced in the "All Growed Up" pilot as Angelica's best friend Samantha Shane (at the time, she was voiced by Laraine Newman)
- Nicole Boscarelli (Lizzie Murray), whom Chuckie (Nancy Cartwright) has a crush on
- Estes "Slambang" Pangborn (Clancy Brown), former wrestler and current school vice-principal
When the series premiered its regular run, more than 3.2 million viewers, and over a third of all kids watching cable in the United States, tuned in, enough to put it into the 2nd place slot for the week, behind an NFL game on ESPN, and making it the highest-rated premiere in Nick's history (when the sneak peek ep aired in April, it didn't make the top 15 cable programs for that week, due to the ongoing war in Iraq).
During summer 2003, teasers for the show aired. However, the scenes shown were not from actual episodes of the show. The teasers showed:
- Tommy filming Chuckie for a video he's making
- Lil telling Phil in the cafeteria that he's immature
- Angelica and Susie running for class president
- Kimi chatting with Chuckie at the Java Lava
- Tommy and Dil having a fight
- Dil hugging Angelica in front of everyone
