The Film Advisory Board, like the Parents' Choice Foundation, singles out any media that is wholesome for the entire family. The FAB gave 2 awards to The Rugrats Movie -- one as a theatrical movie, and another as a major motion picture on video. The FAB has also awarded Rugrats In Paris when it was released in theaters; it's very likely that they'll grant another award, once the film's on video in early 2001.
The Humanitas Prize is awarded to TV shows and movies that embrace the following family values: Openness & Trust, Curiosity, Self Knowledge, Self Affirmation, Honesty, Discipline, Freedom, Creativity, Responsibility, Love, Family, and Universal Concern. In 1995, I Remembered Melville was in the finals for the Humanitas, but did not win. In 1999, writer Richard Gitelson won the prize in the "Children's Animation" category.
