Plot summary
Ichiro Miki lives in Kawasaki, where his father works on the trains and his mother works long hours, so the apartment is often empty. Bullies led by a boy nicknamed Gabara take his things and chase him; his friends are a toymaker, Shinpei, and a classmate, Sachiko. A news report tells of a bank robbery. Ichiro escapes into dreams of Monster Island, where he watches Godzilla battle giant mantises and other creatures and meets Minilla, Godzilla's son, who is tormented by a monster called Gabara. When Shinpei wakes him, his mother cannot come home that night, and the gang finds him outside again.

Did you know?!Facts and trivia about All Monsters Attack (1969)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Due to production costs, All Monsters Attack reused extensive stock footage from Ebirah, Horror of the Deep, Son of Godzilla, King Kong Escapes and Destroy All Monsters, and the filmmakers also used the same Godzilla suit as Destroy All Monsters.
- Eiji Tsuburaya was credited as All Monsters Attack's special effects director but was not involved; Ishirō Honda shot the effects scenes himself with assistant Teruyoshi Nakano, later saying Tsuburaya got the credit out of respect because of budget and time constraints.
- All Monsters Attack was the first "Toho Champion Matsuri", a festival-style programme that bundled short films with a feature film for Japanese audiences.
- The 1971 American version, titled Godzilla's Revenge and dubbed by Riley Jackson, cut the song "Monster March" by Lilly Sasaki and the Tokyo Children's Choir.
- All Monsters Attack was shot in a small studio where both the special effects and the drama scenes were filmed, even though the two were normally filmed in separate studios.
