* ''[[Rugrats]] in Paris'' is set in an especially stereotypical version of the place, yet ''also'' manages to invoke the [[Far East]] stereotypes via musical numbers, a visit to a Japanese restaurant and a dream. Oh yeah, most of the action takes place in a Reptar theme park, so there's not as much Paris involved as the title would let you think. Yes, the Eiffel Tower is there, and so is the Arc de Triomphe, but not the Louvre. And Notre Dame, where {{spoiler|Chas (Chuckie's dad) and Coco [[La Bouche]]'s soon-to-be-ruined wedding took place}}. One line even had Betty about to fall asleep and asking Didi to "wake her up if she sees the [[The Hunchback of Notre Dame (novel)|hunchback]]". Betty and Didi even hang a lampshade on the general lack of French-ness in their trip, at least culinary-wise: |
