The final feature film of the Rugrats film franchise, and the last Nickelodeon movie sequel until स्पोंजबॉब द मूवी: स्पोंज आउट ऑफ वॉटर (2015).
When this movie was originally released, a scratch and sniff stunt called "Odorama" was used. Special numbered cards, each representing a particular smell, were available with kids' meals at participating Burger King restaurants and separately at Blockbuster Video stores. Participants picked up the cards, then took them to the movie theater showing this movie. When a particular number flashed on the screen, viewers scratched off the scent that had that particular number on it. Numbers flashing in red mean that the viewer should find the corresponding number on his or her card (glow-in-the-dark for their convenience), and be ready to scratch-and-sniff when the on-screen number turned green. The scents were as follows: #1 was strawberry, #2 was peanut butter, #3 was a flower, #4 was smelly feet, #5 was a root beer float, and #6 was a fish. Filmmaker John Waters claims this idea was stolen from him, having had the original idea for the scratch and sniff Odorama card for his movie Polyester (1981).
This is the only Rugrats movie where Susie Carmichael played a major role, as opposed to her cameo appearances in the first two.
This is the only Rugrats movie to earn a PG rating by the Motion Picture Association (MPA). The other two were rated G.
