"Silent Angelica" is the first half of the 15th episode of Season 6 of Rugrats.
Plot
When Charlotte is busy woking on a hostile takeover, she tells Angelica that if she is quiet for a few hours, she will buy her a present (The new Cynthia Dream House!) Can Angelica go without saying a word even when the other Rugrats come over to play? - Description from Klasky Csupo.
Why This Episode Should Be Silenced
- This is basically a torture episode for Angelica, as she has to stay silent so she can get toys, but many problems come her way that frustrate her, such as the babies, and it finally gets to the point where she finally yells the truth to the babies.
- Drew and Charlotte bribe their own daughter to stay quiet.
- While Angelica was good during most of the episode, there was the part where she yelled at the babies, which is her typical mean-spirited self. She also takes a package before her parents even get a chance to sign it.
- Charlotte and Drew probably should have told each other, as well as the babies, what deals they made with Angelica, then they wouldn’t have caused her so many problems while trying to stay quiet and watch the babies.
- Charlotte and Drew don’t pay attention much to most of Angelica’s struggles as they were busy, and don’t even see that some of those struggles are ones Angelica can’t do on her own, not showing the best parenting.
- Drew doesn’t even get the door for a package because of the game he’s watching and let’s Angelica do it. Lazy much?
- Charlotte and Drew couldn't get the phone, so Angelica had to get it.
- Angelica tries to tell her parents about her struggles, but then remembers her deal, and so she can’t ask them about her struggles.
- Drew and Stu fight again, this time over a TV remote, but at least it was quickly resolved thanks to Dil.
- The babies do think that Angelica doesn’t want them to play with her toys, and she was right on that. But they didn’t obey her request, still not fully understanding the situation.
- Bad ending: After Angelica yells at the babies unintentionally, her parents hear her yelling, which cause Angelica to lose her toy, and she even gets blamed for the mess the babies made. Sure, Angelica is a spoiled brat and a jerk, but she didn´t even deserved to get punished for something she didn´t do.
- Shockingly terrible moral: It's okay to bribe your own children to stay quiet.
Redeeming Qualities
- Good animation and voice acting as usual.
- Many of the characters are still likable in this episode. Angelica is actually likable here too, especially during the parts where she’s silent, and we sympathize her for the many struggles she faced, some she couldn’t do on her own.
- There are some funny moments, like with Dil chewing the remote that solved Drew and Stu’s issue and changed it a game they can both watch, and when the babies were doing silly faces.
- Angelica's fantasy about the toys she wants was actually nice to watch.
Reception
Along with its sister episode "Tie My Shoes", it has a rating of 6.6/10 on IMDb.
Trivia
- This episode reveals Drew's birthday, which is May 25.
- It was previously seen in "Chuckie's a Lefty" that Chuckie is left-handed; however, he plays Angelica's toy guitar right-handed.
- Whilst the Rugrats were dancing and laughing in one scene, the music from Rugrats: Scavenger Hunt can be heard playing from the record player.
