How you will feel about Rugrats: Retro Rewind will largely depend on how you feel generally about the Rugrats themselves.
Because, to be frank, even though this collects together six games, the quality of them visually is something that's really going to be make or break for any modern-day console user.
Bundling together games from across providers and platforms may be a nice touch in terms of archiving, but when it comes to actually playing them, it has to be said the Rugrats: Retro Rewind collection really makes you feel like you're back in the PS1 era.
Getting to wander through oversized environments and looking at them through child's eyes may only be something that'll get you so far with this. With sluggish controls, weaker camera angles and mind-melting visuals, the games offer varying quality returns and may certainly leave you feeling like you're not enjoying your time in the world.
As with all of these collections, the ability to rewind and use save points make for a smoother experience, especially where the games begin to feel repetitive and a little harsh.
All in all, even nostalgia can only get you so far with titles like this and while people loved the Rugrats, they may find their affections and memories severely tested by the games within.
The titles included in this collection are:
Rugrats: Search for Reptar (PSOne) Rugrats: Studio Tour (PSOne) Rugrats in Paris: The Movie (PC, PSOne, N64) Rugrats in Paris: The Movie (Game Boy Colour) The Rugrats Movie (Game Boy, Game Boy Colour) Rugrats: Time Travellers (Game Boy, Game Boy Colour) Rugrats: Castle Capers (Game Boy Advance)
Cast: Piper Curda, Bobby Moynihan, Jon Hamm, Kathy Najimy, Dave Franco
Director: Daniel Chong
For those worried Pixar's animation arm has lost its way, Hoppers is the perfect rejoinder to such complaints.
Funny, random and emotionally scary when it wants and needs to be, this tale of all living together and trusting crosses both generations and species. It's the story of Mabel Tanaka (Curda), a young eco-warrior in training who starts the film jail-breaking animals kept in school classroom cages during term time and ends with her sitting atop a rock with a beaver.
When the mayor of Beaverton Jerry (Jon Hamm) decides to build a flyover across Mabel's beloved glade where she grew up with her grandma, she decides to spring into action. Upon learning that all it takes to make the area decreed a nature reserve is a beaver, Mabel sets about to achieve what she believes is a simple goal.
However, she soon finds herself part of the animal kingdom after her consciousness is transported into a robot beaver...
Wildly inventive, deeply heartfelt and above all, completely engaging and joyous, Hoppers is a madcap adventure that is Pixar at its very best. With characters feeling rounded as well as grounded, and the emotional journey a complex and well-executed one, what emerges from it is a story that's genuinely laugh-out-loud funny as well as affecting when it needs to be.
But it's also not afraid to take some swerves into genre territory too, mixing in Fly-like body horror and sci-fi tropes as it all plays out.
The end result is that Hoppers, with its wild array of characters, manages to juggle action sequences and character moments with real aplomb - and never losing sight of any of the basics along the way. From the stand-out creation of the natural world where everything feels aligned to the empathy of loving all creatures, foibles and all, there's just something cohesive here that's utterly charming and exquisitely clever when it needs to be.
However, what's most impressive about Hoppers is the ease with which it manages all of these elements, and leaves you wanting more of the world it's created. It's inevitable there'll be spinoffs here - and quite frankly, they'd be unbelievably welcome.

Racing on 2 wheels has always had a checkered past on consoles.
Games have either tended to be extraordinarily technical and suited to fans of the genre, or they've been arcade-friendly outings that have alienated their core fanbase.
The Moto GP series has undertaken to have feet in both camps, and with last year's addition of a more arcade-led ethos, the series built to something of a crescendo. Fortunately, rather than ending up in the pits, the latest game is something that keeps the goodwill going and the rubber burning on the track.
With the option to race as a MotoGP Star, the game's built itself into a corner that shows how seriously it's taking it - and how widely accepted it is as a game that knows its apples. Rivalries, career modes, race offs - there's a lot to keep track of and much to ensure that petrolheads of all skillsets have enough to keep them engaged.
However, that depth of content does mean there's a somewhat sharp skill level to climb and those not au fait with some of the racing sims' need to keep all camps happy means that some players who are new to the genre may feel like it's too hard an ask early on.
But patience is to be rewarded in Moto GP26 and the more time that's sunk into Milestone's world, the more you appreciate that this is perhaps one of the ultimate two wheel sims out there.
Here's everything that's streaming on Netflix in July 2026.
Enola Holmes 3 (July 1)
In this next chapter of the franchise, Millie Bobby Brown reprises her role as Enola Holmes — Sherlock Holmes’ equally brilliant younger sister.
Also returning are Henry Cavill (Sherlock Holmes), Louis Partridge (Tewkesbury), Helena Bonham Carter (Eudoria Holmes), Himesh Patel (Dr. John Watson), and Sharon Duncan-Brewster (Moriarty).
Emmy Award-winning director Philip Barantini (Adolescence) joins the franchise for the first time, taking the helm for this third installment.
The film is written by Tony and BAFTA Award-winning screenwriter and playwright Jack Thorne (Enola Holmes, Enola Holmes 2, Adolescence). It is based upon the Enola Holmes Mysteries' book series by Nancy Springer.
The latest action-adventure sees Enola Holmes tackling another mystery, this time on the island nation of Malta.
As the private detective juggles the new case and the next stages of her relationship with Tewkesbury (Louis Partridge), the game is truly afoot.
Here's everything that's streaming on Disney+ in July.
