@RobynGoodfellow Good point, we'll have to check the toot velocity as well

#Monsterdon #Mothradon #Mothra1961

@Violinknitter she can code too... #Monsterdon

Smol ladies released

They hitch a ride with the Magnificent #Mothra and eff off over the sea!

THE END

Y'know Nelson and the military really seemed to be the real problem all along

Thanks for bringing us this excellent classic for #Monsterdon tonight @Taweret !

Coda where the girl reporter jokes that she forgot to take pictures and then Mothra flies back to her weird island and the natives have a celebratory dance party in front of their column diorama and also two misshappen easter island heads?

We learn that the diorama's true purpose is as a set for the faeries to sing on. Then a rock levitates and prays for world peace in a deep voice.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon

All hail, Mothra! All glory and worship to our lord and savior, Mothra! Here’s a cross, for no particular reason.

#Monsterdon #Mothradon

ooh, double feature! #Monsterdon #MarsAttacks

Okay so what we did was we painted the funny island cross, which I guess is Mothra's symbol, on an airport so she will land there after all the church bells mollify her.

Then we release the faeries who are like "k thanks we hope that there will be world peace one day!" and then go board Mothra who then fucks off into the sky. Everyone on the ground waves because they're swell.

#monsterdon

@jadebees And the 90s Mothra was even fluffier! #monsterdon

@nev "Heyyyy, Macarena"

#Monsterdon #Mothradon

Thanks @Taweret & the whole #Monsterdon gang.

Tonight we cocoon on Tokyo Tower, for tomorrow we will emerge FABULOUS!

Goodbye, longstanding Mothra reference twins

#Monsterdon

I love Mothra's fluffy mothy face.

#Monsterdon

reporter trying to make the sign of the cross and instead drawing a whole ass Kabbalistic Tree of Life

#Monsterdon

Aw, smol road paint trucks!

Gerry Anderson would approve.

#monsterdon

Miniature destruction 💥🏢💥

#Monsterdon #Mothra

Is that Caterpillar equipment?

#Monsterdon #Mothra #Mothra1961

Is this like an air show for truck enthusiasts

#Monsterdon

while we recover the Faerie box, Mothra is busy destroying New Kirk City. However, because we used all of our budget up already on toy tanks and explosions, the destruction scene is less interesting than the Tokyo attack.

It mostly involves Mothra flapping cars away and knocking the odd building over while anti-aircraft guns shoot uselessly at her.

#monsterdon

[vengeful flapping continues]

#Monsterdon

Oh that's a good depth of field. Nice work, DoP. #Monsterdon

Are military hats/helmets considered “Matching Hats?” Asking for a #MonsterdonBingo friend. The friend is me.

#Monsterdon #Mothradon

Also Christianity is just a corrupted form of Mothraism?

#Monsterdon #Mothradon

"Bad acting guy is right! If we don't return the fairies quickly, then New Kirk City will be destroyed!"

(shouts of agreement)

#monsterdon

Love that the priest had bling on his wrist

#Monsterdon

@msh @apLundell I might have to turn on autoscpiele on my psxhone #TheOlds #monsterdon

Some Mothra's do 'ave 'em

#Monsterdon

sorry, department store mannequins, mothra's pissed.

#monsterdon

@yatsu The smartass from that jellyfish thing, yeah! #Monsterdon

So the doll women like? Cilmbed up its butt or something? You know what, I don't want to know. #monsterdon

“If you want to, come back one day!”
Next year: *Mothra returns, carrying the fairies*

#Monsterdon #Mothradon #Mothra1961

hey, wasn't that guy in the hat on the stairs the detective from the other movie? (wow, so specific, but like, you know what i mean, right?)

#monsterdon

If I recall correctly, the American distributor of this film insisted that its finale occur in an "American-style" city, which is why "New Kirk City" in Russamerica is the target city of Mothra.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon🦖🗼⚡🦶🥚 🐛 🦋 😱

Just in time, I got my bingo!

Bingo!

#Monsterdon #Mothra #MonsterdonBingo

Super fun. Thanks #monsterdon ers. Take care. See ya soon.

gotta love it when bad guy gets shot
#monsterdon
#mothradon

@Louisa charming, isn't it?

#monsterdon
#mothradon

hey! there's the Brookkirk Bridge!

#monsterdon
#mothradon

Meanwhile, safely home in Russamerica, Nelson and cronies hear on the radio that Mothra has been destroyed and so they take the glass box off of the faeries, who start singing the Mothra song again.

Things to do not go as planned, because then the giant burning peanut hatches, revealing Mothra in her mothiest form yet! She starts flhying away, and her flapping wings jostle all the model cars around. We deduce that she is flying toward Russamerica.

#monsterdon

Well, looks like our uber is here. Gotta run!
#monsterdon

Mr. Nelson isn’t speaking Japanese any longer. It’s time for asshole English.

#Monsterdon #Mothra #Mothra1961

The plane usually survives if it's an actual airline.....

#Monsterdon

@floatybirb oh no! they never try fire! #StillBitter #monsterdon ((stupid phone))

THE BELLS, THE BELLS #Monsterdon

Everyone blame Nelson

#Monsterdon

Gonna be honest I forgot what was happening

#Monsterdon

Isn't Mothra just the cutest invulnerable giant bug ever

#Monsterdon #Mothradon #Mothra1961

"Boss boss! Dat big moff is dead. We got away wif it after all boss." Love these goons.
#Monsterdon #Mothra

Nelson has such a classic evil laugh

#MOnsterdon

While Nelson is fleeing, I guess the real Russamerican ambassadors has decided to help by loaning the Japanese an atomic heat ray cannon, which looks like a satellite dish delivered by a truck.

It's now day time and Mothra has transformed herself ina giant silk peanut.

#monsterdon

Ok so those looked like bluescreen, and not as good as the previous optical compositing shots. The lighting didn't match at all. #monsterdon

Nice clock. Where did you film this, Metropolis?

#Monsterdon

Nelson has decided to flee the country by pretending to be an embassy staff member and just taking a commercial flight back to Russamerica; he has the kidnapped faeries in his carry-on and uses diplomatic immunity to avoid a search.

#monsterdon

@MatthewTitus88 called "Air-hen" #monsterdon ((geeze my old man phone skills suck!))

Release the Epstein Files! What happened to the girls, Nelson?!

#monsterdon #mothra

The Mothra peanut has everyone worried

#Monsterdon

"ATOMIC CANNONS!"

excellent

#Monsterdon

cya on the flipside Nelson

#monsterdon

Mothra-crafted anti-helicopter spray. The perfect gift for anyone in your life.
#monsterdon
#mothra

Use of pistols on a fleeing suspect seems very in character for Rolisican cop. #Monsterdon #Mothradon #Mothra1962

@davesdogmaggie For me it's.....#monsterdon

the peanut!

#monsterdon

Presumably not sure where the faeries are at, Mothra has contented herself with attacking Tokyo Tower, because its really tall I guess. The army surrounds it and starts shooting her with missiles, tanks and different missiles, eventually knocking her to the ground (and breaking the tower, uh oh)

This causes Mothra to remember that she's a moth and so she starts spinning a cocoon, knocking down a helicopter as she goes, for bonus points.

#monsterdon

Mothra and Attack Of The Puppet People have both shown how hard it can be to transport tiny people.

Anyone with daughters would have known Barbie carrying cases would have been the way to go.

#Monsterdon #Mothra

"New Kirk City"???

#monsterdon

Lightly char your Mothra to really bring out the flavor. #monsterdon

Oh no, Mothra is Wilford Brimley-ing!

#Monsterdon

Mothra coming out doesn't require a political response

#Monsterdon

oooo, she's making a cocoon!

#Monsterdon

now what did mothra *think* was gonna happen climbing that tower

#Monsterdon

these bad guys know how to really yuck it up lol

#monsterdon

How is it 2026 and those energy beam weapons whatever they’re called still don’t exist?

#Monsterdon

Mon Mothra having a right old time Downtown!

#Monsterdon

Apparently, the Japanese government decided it fears a Kaiju attack more than the Russamericans being grumpy, so it sends some military police looking guys to back up the previous child-only rescue team and find the faeries, but alas, the faeries have been taken away.

#monsterdon

Tokyo tower
RIP
#Monsterdon

Loving the little tank models too

#Monsterdon

Excellent models. And now, a cocoon! #Monsterdon

Aw cute! When traversing land, makes me think of The Hungry, Hungry Mothrapillar
#monsterdon
#mothra

#Monsterdon

And Tokyo Tower was never the same after that!

#Mothra

hahaha take that, helicopter

#monsterdon

Would you love me if I were a 50-metre worm?

#Monsterdon #Mothradon

Because the grown ups have failed, it is time for the children to try to rescue the faeries. It seems to go as planned for a while, then more fisticuffs thugs stop them.

#monsterdon

This is the stuff Godzilla (1998) lacked. When Iguano-godzilla wrecked a building it was cheap CG crap that just looks silly now. This is the authentic model destruction, straight from the heart <3 #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Fake Chicken Mascot Gag.

This is the part of the movie where we see lots of splashing and also screaming an then a journalist saves a baby in a wicker basket.

#monsterdon

The very hungry caterpillar... #monsterdon

I wouldn't trust children not to be weird with the fairy ladies, think they were toys or something...

#Monsterdon

@bunnyhero pretty good for '62

#monsterdon

Why was the kid hiding in a chicken?!

#Monsterdon #Mothradon

Meanwhile outside a dam somewhere, Mothra stopped to bubble in the water for a while, triggering a minor panic, then started breaking a dam. The locals realize that they're in a kaiju movie now and so we get a Kaiju Movie Evacuation Scene! Hooray! Then Mothra splashes at them more.

#monsterdon

White Guy seems more fluent in Japanese than English

#Monsterdon

@Violinknitter I think it's the sub being 10 minutes longer than the dub

#Monsterdon #Mothradon

This era of Kaiju films has the best cars #Monsterdon

I dunno why but Nelson yelling at the telephone about his faerie exhibition show being cancelled is extremely funny to me.

#monsterdon

Damn the dams. Damn them all to hell! #Monsterdon

Next time my boss gets mad at me, I'm just gonna sing the Mosura song.

#monsterdon

Poor kid, they binned him. #Monsterdon

A kaiju film made by Zucker/Abrahms/Zucker about a giant San Diego chicken.....#monsterdon

Wow. Miniatures protip: Never use water, or if you do, don't use it with miniatures. #monsterdon
