Nickelodeon broke new ground with a special primetime edition of Rugrats dedicated to Passover.
Grandpa Boris (Michael Bell) tells the tale of the Exodus while he and the children are trapped in the cellar. In this context, Tommy Pickles is Moses. Angelica is the Pharoah. You get the idea. Nick executives initially wanted a story about Hanukkah, but that would come later, the result of this critically acclaimed, well received special.
In this clip, Moses parts the Red Sea. If you've ever read the story or seen "The Ten Commandments", you know what happens.
With schools on Passover/Easter break this week, the 40th anniversary of this landmark special shouldn't be overlooked or avoided.
No rating. Just a public service.
