    After the film, a Little Monsters sweepstakes was held as an infomercial, featuring an old-style children's rap song. Calling 1-900-89-MAURICE resulted in the caller winning various prizes. The prizes ranged from small ones such as copies of the film, glow-in-the-dark shirts and small standee cutouts of Brian and Maurice, to bigger ones such as a signed photo of Fred Savage, the pinball machine Brian and Maurice played in Monster World, and a trip to Hawaii. The sweepstakes have ended, as the number to call is no longer available.
