...Office of War Information, for instance, advised movie producers not to mention the genocide. The O.W.I. had surveys showing substantial anti-Semitism in the U.S. Better, it thought, to play the Nazis in traditional enemy style, as geopolitical bullies.

There is also The Rugrats Movie itself, a knowing festival of pop-cultural citations, evocations and plain old rip-offs. Says Albie Hecht of Nickelodeon, which conducted "parent-focused research" to broaden the project's salability: "We worked hard to make sure the themes appealed to adults as well as children." Adds Klasky: "A lot of adults would fall asleep if there were no 'second level.'" Translation: This ain't just kid stuff...
