A former Rugrats animator (and present-day Studio 360 staffer) got sick of seeing the internet mock-up modern-day versions of the kids (the first two images), so he went and did it himself (the third image). 

Read his rant:

hahahahahah

I hhhhate the ‘trendy reimagining’ shit fanartists keep doing. like I understand creative liberties but jfc at least pretend to know the characters instead of copying fashion magazine shit and pretending it’s them. the fact it’s irritating people who actually worked on those shows tells you something lol.

The dude who “who actually worked on those shows” had to be told to credit the fanartists they decided to drag in the mud. And now those same people are getting harassed because of this person being a dick.  Like holy shit these characters were babies for fuck’s sake.  Did you define who you were when you were 1?

Not only that, this asshole couldn’t be bothered not being lazy with the redesigns either.

Tommy looks EXACTLY like his dad even though even in all grown up we know he takes more like his mom(Especially the nose). Same with Angelica being a clone of her mom.

Chuckie is wearing the same shit he was wearing when he was a couple years old, he’s just stretched.  

Dil has what looks like a cassette player, but considering mp3 players got popular starting in 2001 and this person is stuck in the 90s, he ended up accidentally making Dil looking like a ‘hipster.’

Don’t even get me started on Kimi’s bullshit design. 

And at least the fanartists weren’t afraid to let Suzie have a more natural hairstyle. (And holy shit those color choices are fucking awful on her)

So the fact they’re going one how this is more “correct” is stupid.

People can change when they grow up.  Some kids lose freckles when they get older, some kids have thier hair change when they get older (My hair was more gold brown when I was younger but turned darker when I got older). Some kids that were brats as kids grow up into humbled adults (like a neighbor I grew up with). So there are a ton of ways people can interpret these characters, there is no one correct way.

So no, I don’t think artists drawing characters as adults with vastly different interpretations is wrong, nor do I think its right to slam them for not drawing them in the show’s exact style.  I do however think someone who’s been in the industry could have definitely worded themselves better without shitting on other artists in the process.
