#GIANT MONSTER AND TINY WITCH MOVIE#

Maybe this has something to do with the kid-centric theme. Desghidorah overpowers the aging Mothra in the beginning, but then Leo just comes in and gives him a good one-two. The drawback is that the final battle between Leo in moth form and Desghidorah is just way too easy. Overall the monsters are a plus and the action is pretty good. Kinda graphic actually if the kids are too young. He sure makes you hope for his death the way he heartlessly attacks Mothra and Leo in larvae stage. How about the villain monster in this movie, Desghidorah? He's an interesting take on the Ghidorah family, relying on four legs and with an almost elephant-like roar. Mothra also has blue circular eyes, whereas Leo has more angled green eyes and other design tweaks. In moth form, Leo looks notably different from the female Mothra.

This is also the first time we have a distinctly male Mothra, Leo. Her offspring, named Mothra Leo, looks pretty good and doesn't fall apart like the larvae of the Showa series. Boy, even the larvae can beam spam! Mothra looks okay, but a bit fuzzy in moth form. Mothra received a huge intake of power with her Heisei Godzilla redesign, and that continued even more so with this RoM series. Unlike the Heisei series of Godzilla movies, Toho decided to cater more towards kids with the Mothra series.

Her 1961 movie is something to check out, but getting that history out of the way brings us back to 1996's Rebirth of Mothra.

But actually, Mothra had her own movie before all of this, like some other monsters best known for their role in Godzilla movies (Rodan comes to mind). Mothra is definitely known for her numerous roles as a hero of sorts in Godzilla films ever since her first role in a Godzilla movie (Godzilla vs Mothra, 1964). The one that drew in females in what's admittedly a pretty male-centric genre was Mothra. After ending the Godzilla series with the Heisei series, Toho wanted to maintain a higher grossing monster movie.
