I love it when the Fairies are summoning Mothra on stage. They're like "Oh, you want a song? Well, we'll sing you a song. We'll sing you a song you'll never forget!"

So, a bit like religion? "He has made a graveyard of the globe in trying his honest best to smooth his brothers' path to happiness and heaven." - Mark Twain.
8:23: "I just had a wonderful dream about eating a giant silk shirt!" Funny thing is that in one of the episodes of Monster Island Buddies, you can see that Mothra is eating sweaters when she was invited for dinner with Godzilla, Rodan, and Jet Jaguar (this was the same episode in which Godzilla recall of him ranting about how everything gives you cancer, only for Jet Jaguar to say that Godzilla should've gave everyone cancer considering he is radioactive himself)
"Between this and Rodan you would almost think Toho had just bought a giant wind machine and wanted to get their money's worth?" BINGO! Got it in one! This is Toho's standard approach to such things so long as Eiji Tsuburaya was still around. He maximized the use of every dime they spent. Remember what happened to the Octopus used in King Kong vs Godzilla. It was both an efficient low budget special effect and Tsubaraya's lunch that day.
"Mothra" is indeed a Toho classic, and as it happens, Mothra wasn't Catholic, but Eiji Tsuburaya was--he frequently found ways to incorporate his faith into the movies and shows he worked on. For example. Ultraman's classic Specium Ray pose is a riff on the True Cross to represent it as a force of goodness. The Mothra song, as sung by the late Ito twins, is one of the most touching and sweet songs I've ever heard, for sure; those girls could SING. Mothra is one of my very favorite Toho kaiju, as it happens, and she even made an appearance in my Pathfinder game briefly.
I was so stoked when Mothra's song was in King of the Monsters. When it came on me and my son, who is an up and coming kaiju fan, both sat there singing along with the three rows around us joining in.
Nelson portrayed by Jerry Ito is by far the most memorable thing of this movie, a character so cartoonishly evil he's over the top even in a kaiju movie, and that says something.
Peanuts - twin sisters Emi and Yumi They were born in Nagoya, Japan in April, 1 1941. As identical twins they had voices only slightly apart in timbre, which resulted in their singing together sounding like a solo artist utilizing double tracking or reverb. Very popular and beloved.
This is one of those movies that you go back and watch to remind yourself that, while Mothra is a very benevolent Kaiju, and not usually one of the more destructive ones, she's still a force of nature when all you have is conventional weapons
13:22 Oh thank god. That giant butterfly got rid of our giant worm problem. Also why would you leave out the scene where the comic relief guy fought off four of Nelson's goons and WON? That scene was amazing.
The twin girls were actually a popular singing act in the 60s known as "The Peanuts" they had several albums apparently did stage shows. They have some videos on TH-cam from that era.
Hey Brandon, I don't know if anyone told you. But did you know tnat Mothra originally debut in her own novel titled The Luminous Fairies and Mothra months before the film came to be? That's right! Mothra is actually an adaptation and in short makes Mothra one of the only kaiju to be a literary character first.
Not sure if it actually exists, but after seeing so many Kaiju movies, it would be awesome if there is a movie based on EDF. Nothing like the Earth Defense Force to take on various giant monsters, aliens, or robots.
Aakili K. Sharp fun fact: during the bridge scene in Rodan, when rodan dived into the water the cables holding him up broke and Haruo almost drowned in the suit. R.I.P. The true dare devil.
And Gezora, Ganimes, Gaira, Varan, Baragon, a sailor in "H-Man", Maguma, Invisible Man Akita, and cameos in Human Vapor, Secret of the Telegian and Dogora.
re: 3:26 Back in 1961, the studies that would go on to prove plate tectonics (and thus the historic existence of Pangaea) were still underway. So calling it a "legend" in a 1961 movie isn't entirely unfair.
Theory: Mothra _protected_ the natives of Infant Island from radiation. She's the reason they're all still alive and not in complete agony from radiation poisoning.
No. Is the red juice. (Mothra vs. Godzilla also supports that; and at the same time contradicts it, but that's why you have to see kaiju in Japanese. Things are clearer).
5:05 - You laugh, but in D&D, they are! I just read the Monster Manual (2E) entry for the Vampire Cactus. Name aside, no, it does not wear a cape and it actually stands around in the sun without turning to ash. :D Imagine something as scary as a vampire plant that can photosyntethize AND drain blood!
Random riff I made for Rebirth of Mothra, was during the time travel scene, "Once this moth hits 88 miles per hour, you're gonna see some serious shit.".
Ah, Mothra, the only monster that has defeated Godzilla in every movie they've been in together where they were enemies. The only other monsters who can lay claim to that are King Kong and Biollante. There's still several Toho monster movies you can do: Varan the Unbelievable, Frankenstein Conquers The World, War of the Gargantuas.
The battle between Godzilla and Biolante was actually a draw. Godzilla couldn't really deal a final blow to Biolante and Biolante's attacks were long enough to force Godzilla's body to heat up, allowing the ANEB to begin draining Godzilla's energy.
Mothra oh Mothra If we were to call for help Over time, over sea, like a wave You'd come Our guardian angel (Repeat of this first verse twice) Mothra oh Mothra Of forgotten kindness and ruined spirits We pray for the people's spirit as we sing This song of love Mothra oh Mothra If we were to call for help Over time, over sea, like a wave You'd come Our guardian angel

11:07 wow, that kid pummeled the first guy pretty well. For a Kid in a monster movie that usually competent, they usually just come up with ideas from nowhere that the adults didn;t consider or rascals with technology skills that come in handy for later.
You may knock moths, but once, they ate most of my new carpet and they were EVERYWHERE. Took me weeks to get rid of all of them. Brrrr. So yeah, underestimate moths at your peril! That said, the kind of moth that Mothra is is the Atlas Moth that is really totally harmless unless you are a tree.
Based on the budgets Toho had and the technology of the times, I think the effects are good. Even the stuff that doesn't look real at least looks awesome.
Technically, it's caterpillars that eat clothes, not moths. And only specific species (typically ones that prefer cotton as a primary food source). Also, Mothra was always muh fave. 1:00 And Silent Hill.
What's more is that in Godzilla: Tokyo SOS, this Mothra (1961) is not only referenced but connected to this movie with Hiroshi Koizumi again reprising his role as Shinichi Chujo.
0:16, the monster is called Guilala, He appeared in the movie The X from Outer Space, or Space Monster Guilala as it's called in Japan from 1967. In 2009 it got a sequel/reboot called Monster X Strikes Back: Attack the G 8 Summit. Btw, the monster is also sometimes called Monster X, cause that won't cause any confusion.
Mothra holds a big furry place in my heart! Obviously..... Also, Brandon, you could do more animated films.... But, try looking for something with less noseless, stalker, robot girls...... But, you be you.
Great review as always. I've never actually seen Mothra before, so really enjoyed this. And what's with the dislike?! Has Battra figured out how to use the internet?! : ) Great job.

You know it's kinda funny, I've never notice Mothra's original song was sung in my native language ( albeit with funny Japanese accent ) until I look it up.
Glad to see you do 'Mothra'. I hate to admit it, but I've never seen this movie or any other STAND ALONE Mothra films. Still, she's one of my favorite monsters in the Godzilla movies, in fact the original 'Mothra -vs- Godzilla' (1964) is my favorite Godzilla film of all!! On another note. I saw you with a Bass Guitar in one video, and your Canadian... hmm... I wonder if you like Geddy Lee?!
yippee! I was hoping you'd do a Mothra review! She's my favorite Kaiju. I hope you'll review some other movies with her. As for her destruction of the city, she's gone into Mama Bear(or Mama Wolf) rage. And lol at the evil laugh, I totally predicted that you would use the Austin Powers clip!
That kinda reminded me of one of the Dark Tower novels where the characters rode a train through a supernatural barren wasteland that had bizarre creatures crawling around in it.
Well, he could start with the original Ultraman, then Ultraseven since that was kinda more popular than OG Ultraman, and maybe some of the chapters of Gridman buuuuuut since that one here was only known as Syber Samurai Squad, yeaaahhhh i think its better if he does Old school Ultra rather than what came after Gridman since the new ones arent as popular as the studios wanted here in the west.
Wait this video was flagged by Sony and not TOHO? The Fuck? Also what about the movies focused on Ultraman, Varan, Gappa: The Triphibian Monster, Dogora, Space Amoeba and the TOHO Frankenstein movies?
There are still some spin off movies to review like: The Mysterians Varan Battle in Outer Space Gorath Atragon Dogora Space Amoeba War in Space Rebirth of Mothra 1-3 and of course more Godzilla movies!
The thumbnail art for this episode caused me to realize that Mothra (regardless of form) is somehow even more difficult to take seriously if she ever has a frowny face.
0:16 - But, but, I DO want you to review whatever the hell THAT is from! Seriously that is an amazingly terrible monster design. Does he have a tap on his forehead? What is that from?
8:50 - Why/How did Sony flag only that short part of the video from the review??? And does this mean you uploaded this once and they flagged it instantly before this was out on your site?
... This is suprisingly similar to Godzilla anime movies... specifically the second and third ones, which introduce a tribal race that worship Mothra and it's egg, introduces two identical twin characters that use telepathy to communicate - who aren't quite human themselves (although they aren't fairies in this case either... I think...) and live in a highly radiated environment... I have slightly more respect for those films now knowing that they in some sense incorporated ideas from the original Mothra movie despite taking place in a very different story set thousands of years in the future and involving alien races and shit lol.
As "GODZILLA" was Japan's answer to "THE BEAST FROM 20,000 FATHOMS" (totally true), "MOTHRA" was Japan's answer to "MIGHTY JOE YOUNG". Both involve cute girls and show business. The last time I watched "MOTHRA", my impression was that "Rolisica" was "America", and Mothra passed by San Francisco on its way to destroy LAS VEGAS. (But, that's me.)
Being a benevolent god is not a free pass for everyone to get on her bad side. It's not like the fairies weren't constantly warning people what would happen if they ticked Mothra off. Besides, she's helped save the world from Godzilla and King Ghidorah, like, five or six times now.
I love it when the Fairies are summoning Mothra on stage. They're like "Oh, you want a song? Well, we'll sing you a song. We'll sing you a song you'll never forget!"
Humans: well, as long as we're clear on that

Back in 1961, the studies that would go on to prove plate tectonics (and thus the historic existence of Pangaea) were still underway. So calling it a "legend" in a 1961 movie isn't entirely unfair.
"Legend" still seems like an awkward translation even considering that, but no more so than lots of the other lines.
Theory: Mothra _protected_ the natives of Infant Island from radiation. She's the reason they're all still alive and not in complete agony from radiation poisoning.
Yup.

So there's a "Pokemon" episode where Jigglypuff's singing awakens the Ancient Jiggly...and Jigglypuff is a FAIRY TYPE...hmm...
Yes
So basically Mothra’s a bug/fairy type. Gotcha.
Even though that episode is way before the introduction of the fairy type, I get the point
@@ryanangelastro504 Honestly, I can see that being Mothra's typing if she were a Pokémon.

think of it this way, you try to make that effect look better with what budget you can get, I promise ya, it ain't easy
yippee! I was hoping you'd do a Mothra review! She's my favorite Kaiju. I hope you'll review some other movies with her. As for her destruction of the city, she's gone into Mama Bear(or Mama Wolf) rage.
And lol at the evil laugh, I totally predicted that you would use the Austin Powers clip!
Do Frankenstein vs baragon soon
He should do Frankenstein Conquers The World that would be so funny.
Oh Yeah I know (just you know US crap version).
Your wish has been granted!
You're right I just want Martha as a plushie she is so cute😍
Mothra: basically the kaiju-equivalent of a *BUTTERFLY!!!*
#MothraIsButterfree
...and Butterfree was only Butterfree because they mixed up the design with Venomoth.
But.. her name is MOTHra.
A butterfly that killed a giant god damn dinosaur
A combination of America and Russia?
Because one or the other wasn't Strong enough by itself.
“Vampire plant?”
so is mothra as big as a battleship??
No, but La Cacanya is!
Next best thing to a Godzilla review. Fuck yes.
Mothra > Godzilla
+Jimi Best Godzilla>Mothra!
Thank you for this. My absolute favorite monster movie!
4:41 When you finally pee after holding it for three hours.
I love the song of MOTHRA...my band actually uses it as an intro to our shows
Loved the tremors joke could you review it some time
awww I love mothra she's just so fluffy
I just wanna cuddle her!
You should do some more Toho movies such as Varan, Atragon, and The Mysterians
Oh god, Big Man Japan at the end. That film is fucking weird. Awesome vid as usual!
Nigel Nigelson Big Man Japan is awesome!
That kinda reminded me of one of the Dark Tower novels where the characters rode a train through a supernatural barren wasteland that had bizarre creatures crawling around in it.
I was wondering what in the hell that was from. Gotta see it, now.
Finally, someone else who questions Mothra’s actions!
Great review. You said everything I do whenever I watch Mothra, even though I love it.
Mother’s twin fairies song have dope as heck lyrics
16:03 question why is Godzilla in the rebirth of Mothra II poster if he did not appear in the movie
Godzillas more recognizable than a new monster they introduced in the same movie
You gotta do Godzilla vs Mothra now
I thought he did, but I could be wrong.
Just realized, he didn't. It was a different youtube reviewer I was thinking of.
Brandon Tenold ULTRAMAN MOVIES

The
UltraMan tv series!!

#UltraManReview
Yesss. I second that
But...which ones, though?
Well, he could start with the original Ultraman, then Ultraseven since that was kinda more popular than OG Ultraman, and maybe some of the chapters of Gridman buuuuuut since that one here was only known as Syber Samurai Squad, yeaaahhhh i think its better if he does Old school Ultra rather than what came after Gridman since the new ones arent as popular as the studios wanted here in the west.
UltraGalaxyify like the ones that start with mebius to the current one
Can we also get reviews on the "Rebirth of Mothra" series?
Wait this video was flagged by Sony and not TOHO? The Fuck? Also what about the movies focused on Ultraman, Varan, Gappa: The Triphibian Monster, Dogora, Space Amoeba and the TOHO Frankenstein movies?
For some dump reason the mothra from the title card is soool adorable
king of kaiju *DUMB
MaximumRD no you dump
Dumb*
He saying that's how you spell dumb
lol Now it all makes sense ! You cannot fix stupid. :)
There are still some spin off movies to review like:
The Mysterians
Varan
Battle in Outer Space
Gorath
Atragon
Dogora
Space Amoeba
War in Space
Rebirth of Mothra 1-3
and of course more Godzilla movies!
You are not telling me you don't know what The X from Outer Space is.
The thumbnail art for this episode caused me to realize that Mothra (regardless of form) is somehow even more difficult to take seriously if she ever has a frowny face.
0:16 - But, but, I DO want you to review whatever the hell THAT is from! Seriously that is an amazingly terrible monster design. Does he have a tap on his forehead? What is that from?
its from the X from Outer Space, if I'm correct the Kaijus Name is Guilala.
Great job as always Brandon.
8:50 - Why/How did Sony flag only that short part of the video from the review??? And does this mean you uploaded this once and they flagged it instantly before this was out on your site?
Have to admit that i use your channel to jog my memory for monster movies I need to acquire. By the way black scorpion is an awesome movie
... This is suprisingly similar to Godzilla anime movies... specifically the second and third ones, which introduce a tribal race that worship Mothra and it's egg, introduces two identical twin characters that use telepathy to communicate - who aren't quite human themselves (although they aren't fairies in this case either... I think...) and live in a highly radiated environment...
I have slightly more respect for those films now knowing that they in some sense incorporated ideas from the original Mothra movie despite taking place in a very different story set thousands of years in the future and involving alien races and shit lol.
As "GODZILLA" was Japan's answer to "THE BEAST FROM 20,000 FATHOMS" (totally true), "MOTHRA" was Japan's answer to "MIGHTY JOE YOUNG". Both involve cute girls and show business.
The last time I watched "MOTHRA", my impression was that "Rolisica" was "America", and Mothra passed by San Francisco on its way to destroy LAS VEGAS. (But, that's me.)
Being a benevolent god is not a free pass for everyone to get on her bad side. It's not like the fairies weren't constantly warning people what would happen if they ticked Mothra off. Besides, she's helped save the world from Godzilla and King Ghidorah, like, five or six times now.
Oh god there’s a giant worm on the lose and Kevin bacon is still a little kid we’re doomed!! 11:50
8:18 My favoryte part
When you see a boat on a storm in a monster movie "ah shit here we go again"

Happy 62 birthday Mothra 🎉🎊🥳
