MAJOR PARTNERS SET TO TRAVEL WITH NICKELODEON MOVIES FOR GROUND BREAKING "RUGRATS IN PARIS" PASSPORT PROMOTION

Movie Theaters, Retail Outlets, Footlocker, Mattel and Mott's Join Burger King in Synergistic Stamp Campaign That Will Send One Lucky Family To Paris

Gateway, Kraft, Post, Jell-O, Oral B, Simon & Schuster and Farley's Also Make Promo Plans For Next Rugrats Big Screen Adventure

Hollywood, CA - March 29, 2000 - As part of its creative strategy to further reach kids and families, Nickelodeon Movies has joined forces with several major partners for a unique "Rugrats in Paris - The Movie" Passport Promotion. Over 2,000 theaters showing "Rugrats in Paris", as well as Kids Footlocker, Lady Footlocker, Mattel and Mott's, will join with Nick Movies to drive awareness of the film, and send one lucky winning family to Paris. The Passport Promotion will be supported with a pre-promotion passport mass mailing in a Fall issue of TV Guide, along with on-air spots and major support in theaters and at retail.

Nick Movies has also announced several additional promotional partners for "Rugrats in Paris - The Movie".

Among these are Gateway, Kraft Macaroni & Cheese, Kraft Mayonnaise, Kraft's Post Cereal brands, Jell-O Yogurt, Oral-B, Simon & Schuster and Farley's.

For Rugrats fans, the Passport Promotion journey begins when they see the new film. Movie goers will receive their very own "Rugrats in Paris" passport, which has a place for a personal picture, a two-page commemorative comic of the movie's plot, an instant win game and an entry form for a chance to win a "Rugrats in Paris" family adventure of their own. To enter for the chance to win the trip, consumers will have to collect at least four of seven different passport star stamps, the first "star" being the theater's "Rugrats in Paris" ticket stub. Kids and families will have a variety of other ways to get their four stars - at Burger King; a major toy retailer to be named shortly; on Mattel toy boxes; or on Nick.com -- though the movie ticket stub is required. (Later, the ticket stub requirement was dropped and there are now a total of 6 stamps available, though you still must collect 4 to enter; this rule was changed, as the very first rule says "No purchase necessary".-- SM) Grand prize is an all-expenses paid trip to Paris, a Rugrats tour of the city, first class accommodations, and 200,000FF (US$50,000).

(Note: at US$.14 per Franc, 200,000FF actually equals US$28,000, with US$50K equalling about 357,143FF. The rate given above is US$.25 per Franc. On the other hand, when the winning family does go, they'll probably end up being given their prize money in Euros. -- SM)

The Passport Promotion will be augmented by a six-to-eight week program in over 1,200 Kids Footlocker/Lady Footlocker stores. In addition, a wide-ranging Mott's campaign is expected to begin in the summer to promote Rugrats Watermelon and Fruit Punch, Single Serve Apple Sauces, Multi-Serve Bottles of Juice, Single-Serve Juice Boxes and Fresh Apple Products, with substantial media, in-store and on-pack support.
From PR Newswire, here's a snippet from Mott's press release on  their promotion:

[Specially-marked Rugrats In Paris packages] will be on retailers' shelves September through December.

Mott's is giving away over 1,000 prizes via an on-pack instant win promotion. Ten grand prize winners will receive a suitcase full of Rugrats toys by Mattel. In addition, 100 first prize winners will receive a Sing and Swing Angelica doll and a Bounce and Babble Dill (sic) Doll. Two hundred fifty Cheer up Chuckie dolls will be given out as second prizes and 700 third prize winners will receive a Rugrats My Size puzzle.

"This year we are delivering our first ever instant win game on specially marked packages of juice and apple sauce," said Product Manager, Mike Ryan.

The instant win game promotion will be supported with a national full page FSI (newspaper coupon insert) in November, as well as point of sale materials and on-shelf promotional packaging.

In addition, Mott's licensed Rugrats apple sauce products will deliver free in-pack sticker tattoos inside specially marked fruit punch and watermelon flavors.

The sticker tattoo promotion will be supported by a national half-page FSI, a full-page print ad in Nickelodeon Magazine, point of sale materials and on-shelf promotional packaging.

The first Passport Promotion on-air spots will likely run from mid-to-late October and specifically support the contest, with a second wave of commercials promoting the movie set to hit in mid-November.

In addition to Nick Movies' Passport Promotion frenzy, the company will also be partnering with several significant corporate partners to take part in the "Rugrats in Paris" promotional festivities. They include:

  • Gateway, which will utilize a two-phased six-week campaign to promote a Rugrats Astro PC in over 300 of its U.S. retail outlets. The promotion will also include bounce-back offers and be supported in-store, in-theater and with kid-directed media.
  • Kraft, which will promote its Macaroni & Cheese, Mayonnaise and Jell-O Yogurt brands with on-pack Rugrats-related coupon offers. Kraft will tap the power of the Rugrats further with its Post Cereal brands, providing TV and print media support, as well as on-pack and in-store coverage.
  • Oral B, which is planning a special pack promotion that includes a "Rugrats in Paris" activity book and crayons wrapped with Rugrats-licensed toothpaste and tooth brushes.
  • Simon & Schuster is creating in-store displays to support its "Rugrats in Paris" novel book, which is set to include a concession coupon. The book will also be promoted online at simonsayskids.com.
  • Farley's, which has a line of successful licensed Rugrats Fruit Snacks, will hold a "Rugrats in Paris" / Paramount Parks on-pack sweepstakes. The promotion will be supported with TV spots highlighting the contest.

"We have always set very high standards and goals with the Rugrats franchise, but the number of partners and the level of excitement for "Rugrats in Paris" is really amazing," said Pam Kaufman, Senior Vice President, Promotions Marketing, Nickelodeon. "With the Passport Promotion, we intend on taking strategic, creative marketing and promotions to a new level."

Added Albie Hecht, President of Film and TV Entertainment for Nickelodeon, "The next Rugrats movie is very special, and we think it will resonate with audiences of all ages, which is underscored by promotional partners as diverse as Gateway and Footlocker. We expect kids around the country to be clamoring to see this movie, and to extend their experience by collecting some very cool stamps and passports."

Canadian Passports

(Right: Canadian passport from YTV's website;

In Canada, YTV, Famous Players theaters and Kraft Dinner (what Canadians call "Kraft Macaroni & Cheese") presented a similar passport promotion. The winner in the Canadian version gets a 7 day / 6 night trip for 4 to Paris, plus C$1000 (about US$650) in spending money.

Here's the Canadian version of the press release from Canadian News Wire; I've edited out the redundant parts, as most of it mirrors the American press release:
MAJOR PARTNERS TRAVEL WITH NICKELODEON MOVIES FOR GROUND BREAKING "RUGRATS IN PARIS" PASSPORT PROMOTION

Famous Players, Burger King, YTV and Kraft Canada in Synergistic Stamp Campaign That Will Send One Lucky Family To Paris

TORONTO, Dec. 7 /CNW/ - Participating Famous Players theaters showing "Rugrats in Paris", as well as Burger King, YTV and Kraft Canada, will join with Nickelodeon to drive awareness of the film, and send one lucky winning family to Paris. The Passport Promotion is supported with a major television, retail and in-theatre campaign. For Rugrats fans, the Passport Promotion journey begins when they see the new film. To enter for the chance to win the trip, consumers will have to collect at least three of five different passport star stamps, the first "star" being the theater's "Rugrats in Paris" ticket stub. Kids and families will have a variety of other ways to get their four stars -- at Burger King on the Rugrats in Paris themed tray liner; on specially marked boxes of Rugrats Kraft Dinner; at Famous Players from the Rugrats in Paris meal deal tray and on YTV by watching three back-to-back Rugrats episodes and filling in a secret password revealed on-air. Grand prize is an all-expenses paid trip to Paris, a Rugrats tour of the city, first class accommodations and spending money. Entries must be received by December 31, 2000.

The three-week on-air campaign features promotional spots, promotional billboards, dedicated promotional pages on YTV.com, on-line banner ads, and in- theatre promotional crawlers.

In addition, Kraft will further promote the Rugrats franchise with promotional offers on Post Cereals (Honey Comb, Alpha Bits, Sugar Crisp), Kraft Dinner, Lunchables, Cheez Wiz, Jello, Peanut Butter and Handi-Snacks and has provided TV and print media support, as well as on-pack and in-store coverage.

(Webmaster's Note: The Canadian press release also includes Albie Hecht's comment about "collecting some very cool stamps and passports" from the American release, but the Canadian passport, as you've seen above, consisted only of a single page, and the only "stamp" used from the American version is Kimi -- uncool, ordinary proofs of purchase seals, a plain ticket stub, and the YTV password are the other "stamps". -- SM)

Here are the contest details (from YTV's website):
Print your Be a Rugrat in Paris passport by clicking here or pick one up at a Burger King restaurant.
