Nickelodeon’s late 90s and early 2000s era was largely defined by the animation studio Klasky Csupo, and now two of the studio’s best shows, Rocket Power and Rugrats, are getting new DVD collections. Whether you’re feeling nostalgic or want to introduce your kids to your favorite cartoons when you were growing up, these two massive bundles are packed with animated goodness. The Rugrats DVD is even more compelling, as the gigantic 36-disc set also includes every episode of the spin-off series, All Grown Up.
Preorders are now open for the two box sets, and preordering at Amazon makes you eligible for any price cuts between now and release. You also won’t pay until the item has shipped. If your kids have already seen every episode of Bluey, consider mixing up their routine with one of these excellent shows from decades past.

This 36-disc collection features every episode of the show, getting you over 70 hours of cartoons to enjoy. As a bonus, the bundle also includes seasons one through five of All Grown Up, following the kids as they head off to junior high. If you don’t mind skipping out on All Grown Up, take a look at the standard Rugrats: Complete Series (DVD)–the 26-disc collection gets you all episodes from all nine seasons.

Otto, Reggie, Squid, and Twister might be the most athletically gifted kids in SoCal, capable of biking, surfing, and skating at a level that rivals most professionals. They even had a chance to skate with the iconic Tony Hawk, who made a cameo appearance in season three. This upcoming 11-disc collection captures all of the gang’s adventures, featuring 71 episodes spanning over 26 hours. Like the Rugrats collection above, this is a standard DVD format.
