I remember finding them on the Internet somewhere in the early 2000s. I remember that Kimi was one of them, so it would have to have been after the second movie (Rugrats in Paris). Anybody remember these things? I can't find any details about them online.

Desktop toys! I used to love those! As we upgraded the family PC, they got buggier and buggier, but I kept trying.

I had a friend in highschool who once brought his laptop to school to take notes and on that day me and a few other guys learned that he had the virtual stripper girl desktop buddy

I had one that put lots of little sheep on the desktop, that would walk around on top of windows.

I fantasize often about writing a parkour stickman who climbs up my desktop windows and jumps between them

I'd love a Linux version of the classic Neko, that followed and played with your mouse

Hey! I found one of them. I didn't have this one as a kid, but it's the same kinda thing. No idea if it works in modern windows but it works in my Windows XP virtual machine.

I remember all of them. I remember there was one for one the Rugrats, one for Spongebob, and one for Ralph from Spy Kids (I still have the last one). And I remember they often had to be uninstalled because they'd screw up with the computer if it was older.

Yes! I had a cheap windows 95 or 98 PC and it barely ran them. But, I downloaded them over and over anyway.
