Line 9:
Needless to say, when the monsters find out that the Baron is handing over his secrets to his nephew instead of one of them, they are outraged. Hilarity and chaos ensue.
The film was under-promoted and did poorly in its theatrical release, but has since become a cult classic. Five years later, Rankin/Bass would give the film an unofficial (and somewhat illogical) sequel of sorts, ''Mad, Mad, Mad Monsters'' (1972), a 2D television film for the anthology series ''[[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] Saturday Superstar Movies'', using most of the original Jack Davis character designs, though dropping Phyllis Diller for a "Monstress" who somewhat resembled this film's Francesca<ref> at least, until we see her face</ref>.
Today, ''Mad Monster Party'' is considered by many to be the precursor to ''[[The Nightmare Before Christmas]]''.
