The Rugrats Movie Score

The Rugrats Movie Score is a 2-CD set featuring the scenic orchestrations of the film by Mark Mothersbaugh, Jamshied Sharifi and the London Metropolitan Orchestra. This is the type of music that's beyond the scope of the popular artists on the regular soundtrack. The first CD features the score itself, which was recorded at CTS Studios in London, 9/28/98 to 10/2/98 (completed with about a month to spare before the world prremiere). The second CD, the "Rugdance" CD, features 3 special musical numbers -- Pop Song, Poop Song and Have You Guys Seen My Shoes? This CD also had a multimedia feature, but all that does is take you to the now-closed Nick's international Rugrats Movie page, which was nothing special if you've been there as early as February 1999, and is completely useless if you try to go there after May 2000 (CD mentioned that it goes to Klasky-Csupo's site, but that is not the case). CD also includes stickers. Makes a great gift for any die-hard fan of the show or the film.

The Rugrats Movie Score retails for US$17.97.

The Rugdance disc is also available separately as a 12-inch vinyl record.
