What makes the Rugrats Passover episode so special, more than 20 years later? InsideEdition.com spoke to Paul Germain, one of the creators of Nickelodeon's beloved animated series, Rugrats, about the episode, one of the rare TV or movie events dedicated to the Jewish holiday. To this day, he's surprised it still resonates with so many.
“It’s kind of embedded in pop culture,” Germain said. “We were really proud of it. We never thought of it as a bit deal.”
"A Rugrats Passover" first aired on Nickelodeon on April 13, 1996. It was 22 minutes long, twice the length of the average 11-minute episode. (Usually multiple installments would air in the show's 22-minute time slot.)
The episode has achieved a cult-like status among fans of the classic Nickelodeon show. Some watch it every year the way they do with "A Rugrats Chanukah".
Kelvin is accused of stealing money from Ralph and rigging the competition to win a ghetto blaster. His trial finds him and the other kids guilty of various deceits, but the theft itself is a tale of another kind.
There's a Rat called Rattus, he's the leader of the bunch. A Cat called Modigliana, she's fluffy, but she's tough. Derryn, he's a Dopey Dog, and Mixy's a muddled up, mixed up Bunny! That's the Ferals for ya. Don't mess with the Ferals - They're gonna getcha, that's the Ferals!

JoJo Siwa, the Jonas Brothers, Ryan Reynolds and more celebrities have sent heartwarming messages to the Make-a-Wish Foundation and its young wish recipients.
The stars recorded messages in a bid to bring joy to the children, many of whom have had life-long wishes postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
In her video, JoJo talks about how she plans to keep her Make-a-Wish promises, and that she's even talked to one of her young fans via Facetime who is unfortunately missing out on meeting her. JoJo's Make-a-Wish's included meet and greets at her D.R.E.A.M. concert tour, however, the tour has now been postponed due to the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic. JoJo also gives thanks to all the healthcare professionals keeping us safe, and reveals why she's staying at home. The Nickelodeon star also reveals her very own wish: for things to go back to normal so that she can continue meeting fans.
Meanwhile, Kevin Jonas in his video message said: “We know a lot of these wishes have been canceled with everything that has been going on, but we just hope you know that you are loved and we think you guys are the greatest,”
Brother and former Kids' Choice Awards host Nick Jonas then offered his words of advice. “I know these are tough times, confusing times, but I think the thing that’s helping me through it -- and maybe this will help all of you -- is I’ve been spending some time just writing,” he shared. “It could be in a journal, it could be a short story or a poem or a song. Whatever brings you happiness, that’s the thing to focus on right now.”
Added Joe Jonas: “I hope this video brings you some joy like all the Make-a-Wish kids bring me and my brothers so much joy when we get to meet you."
Ryan Reynolds also sent a video, in which he joked about Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
“I know 99.99 percent of your wishes weren’t to meet me at all,” Reynolds said. “They were probably to meet The Rock. I’ve met The Rock and I can tell you that it’s well worth a wish. Anyway, hope you guys are doing OK. Just sending [because] maybe this will brighten someone’s spirits over there.”
“I love the Make-a-Wish Foundation,” he continued. “It’s been a huge part of my DNA ever since I started in show business and in every movie that I do, I look so forward to the Make-a-Wish visits. A lot of them were canceled on this film I’m doing, Red Notice, right now and then I got to thinking how there’s probably a lot of other wishes that got canceled as well, so that’s why I’m sending this video. Sending you guys tons of love.”
Gordon Ramsay, Criss Angel, Terry Crews (NINE NINE!) and athletes also shared video messages for the organization.
