Page "Rugrats" Paragraph 13

With Rugrats it usually took a few months to make an episode, for the story has to get written, and then approved.

The next process consisted of voice recording, storyboarding, pre-eliminating animation, overseas production & delivery, editing and polishing.

All of that had to happen even before Klasky-Csupo sent the master tapes to Nick.

In addition, fine animation took time to make.

During the first six seasons of Rugrats, shows were primarily divided into two eleven-minute episodes.

After the second movie, during season seven, Rugrats made a change with a different format that consisted of three episodes per show, though it returned to its original two-episode-per-show format in the final two seasons.
