It consists of a 4-page folder with "ADVERTISING - PUBLICITY - PROMOTION" under the movie title on the cover, the cast credits on the back cover, and the crew credits on the inside covers. There is a single sheet that gives the "press story", another sheet that gives the official billing and information about "the production". There is a third page that gives "promotion with illustrations and text about competitions, contests, and robot competitions" that theaters could hold, and there are other kinds of promotions advertised on the back, including the tie-in paperback and records. There is a double-sided page that gives "advertising blocks", which are nine newspaper ads of various sizes. Finally, there is a double-sided sheet that has "editorial blocks" on one side, which are images with text that could be inserted into newspapers, and on the other side is the "accessories", which gives an image of the British quad, as well as a set of six 11" x 14" stills, and also 22" x 28" star portrait enlargements of the top five stars.
