So says the tag line for the Japanese version of The Rugrats Movie, release in Japan by UIP on 12/23/99. While the tag lines for most other releases say "An adventure for anyone who was in diapers", the Japanese are giving the Rugrats the same attitude as Pokemon by tying the Pokemon's invasion of North America with the Rugrats' invasion of Japan, to whet the appetites of prosepective Rugrats fans in the land of the Rising Sun.
Below are the fronts and backs of the Japanese Rugrats movie posters, and their translations. Posters and translations contributed by Acco-ya and are ©1999 Viacom & UIP Japan (posters) and Acco-ya (translation).
