Personally, I bought this video to show to my second grade students, but now I look foward to sharing it with my children. The Rugrats depict the story of Passover with some minor changes so as to not frighten young children. It's interesting and historically accurate (except for those few age appropriate changes). My students had a ball watching it and were able to recall much of the information about Passover afterwards. It's a movie for the whole family.

This video is the most wonderful story of passover for children ages 4-8. (Otherwise I would recomend the Prince of Egypt!) This story explains the story of Passover in a charming, funny way.

Okay, so maybe it's not the MOST accurate representation of a biblical story that I've ever seen, but it's definitely my favorite! Children of all ages will delight in the creativity that Angelica, Tommy, Chuckie, and the gang bring to this video. If you're offended by the historical inaccuracies, take a moment to consider the audience toward whom the video is directly, and appreciate that Nickelodeon is attempting to educate our children. You can always go back and make minor changes in your kid's understanding of the story later on. Besides, they'll probably be thankful that the story was presented in such a fun way.

Anyone familliar with the Passover story, yet not how to explain the concept of plagues and miracles to younger children will find amusing help with the popular characters from the Rugrats series. Also good is an animated insight into the religious heritage of Tommy's mom. END

Best Rugrats episode EVER. This episode exceeds all other Rugrats episodes. OK so it is not 100 per cent true to life but it is a CARTOON. I mean how often do Hollywood get it spot on not very often if I remember well. The babies and the adults all get locked in the attic one by one and all hear and take part in the exodus. Angelica as Pharaoh, well I will never look at the Sphinx in the same light again, and the mobile phone with the cartouch's on was just so HER. No the story is not the one we read in the Good Book but it is fun and there are some good one liners (from the adorable Miss P)and that is how we should view it. Watch it and SMILE.

If you have young children and you want them to learn a little about passover then try this. LambChop also has a cute one. Both are worth getting

I find this Rugrats episode for children and maybe even adults too. I mean the Jewish celebrate it but it is in the Christian side of the Bible so anyone can learn from it. I enjoyed the way they showed the holiday on a baby's point of view to make it show how people look at stories like Passover. I definitely recommend this video.
