“A great duel against a new monster by a parent-child combination!”

AdventureScience FictionFantasy

Reporter Goro Maki stumbles upon scientists conducting weather experiments on Sollgel Island in the South Seas. He discovers the island is inhabited by giant mantis and a woman named Saeko who's been cast away since the death of her father. The pair soon find a helpless infant monster that Godzilla must adopt and learn to raise as one of his own.

VIBE

A charmingly dated adventure where science gone awry unleashes giant prehistoric creatures. It’s a colorful, campy romp with surprisingly tender moments about family and responsibility, all set against a tropical island backdrop.
