Battra made a impressive kaiju along with the long awaited return of Mothra.

While not a big fan of Mothra, I like this film quite a bit anyway. Leaps and bounds better than the King Ghidorah film anyway. The pacing of this film was one of the reasons I liked it, There were kaiju appearances spread throughout alot of the film and the miniatures and city destruction scenes were good in my opinion. I'm not really sure about Mothra's stuffed animal look but it seemed to hold up.

The films I felt had an impressive climactic battle and I must say I quite liked Battra....but you are right my main problem is Mothra looked like a plush toy...too cute a look for my liking....at least when we are talking about giant monsters.

That was probably Toho's intent. A cute, cuddly Mothra meant merchandising money from all those plush toys for the kiddies. ;)

Mothra looked even more like a plush toy in the Return of Mothra trilogy....but they weren't very good films

The Mothra trilogy movies are obviously geared for children although the third and final Heisei Mothra film, Mothra 3: Invasion Of King Ghidorah(1998), had a little more edge.

The somewhat cute rather plush toy look of Mothra must have been a hit with the kiddies...well it was one of the most commercially successful Godzilla films so I guess it must have been

I agree I like this one....I feel it brought the Heisei era back on track....another thing is I felt that this particular one had it's own charm and while not the all time best entry of the Heisei era..I was never the less very fond of it

BIGGEST GODZILLA NERD HERE!-Monster Island Hall Of Famer Posts: 4,526 Group: Moderator(staff) Member #108 Joined: November 11, 2007 Favorite giant monster film: Gamera 3: Incomplete Struggle Favorite horror film: Stephen King's Children of the Corn Favorite sci-fi film: John Carpenter's The Thing	Just thought something: if Battra is an embodiment of natue's revenge on humanity, isn't Godizilla that also? Shouldn't they have teamed up since they both serve the same purpose?
