So, the thing is that you discover a society of 3mm tall humanoids and you ask no questions, kill most of them, abduct 2 of them. And your first instinct is to put on a stage play. #monsterdon
#monsterdon We can't let you see them... they aren't done yet, in my pants. ;)
forbidden jelly bean
#Monsterdon
The normal-size people dancing the Mothra-summoning dance probably would have made a better show than the fairies
@paco
Sometimes I wish life was more like this.

MOSURA!!
WHY DO YOU THINK
(me leaning over and whispering)
Mothra is a big moth
#monsterdon
Either Mothra just hatched or that egg is REALLY EXCITED. #Monsterdon #Mothra
MOTHRA now departing from runway 1 to Narita Airport, Tokyo and surrounding areas. Dancers, please extinguish all smoking materials and fasten your seat belts.
I absolutely love the practical egg hatching effect. #Monsterdon
Even the egg is dancing!
Let me get this straight: if 2 people that are like 30cm tall get captured, we get a 10-ton, 30m monster to go rescue them?
Overkill, much?
#monsterdon
They aren't slaves. They LIKE living in a bird cage. Wow they speak dubbing. #monsterdon
they don't have a toilet in there....
How many cameras do you normally have?
@Binder anything's scientific data if you try hard enough #Monsterdon
#monsterdon Ceremonial Enamel Paint Sacrifices. It will call Merchant Marine tugboat deckhands from all four corners of the world!

Amazing voice projection by 6" fairies, with no mics!

@bunnyhero International cooperation FTW
This is a long musical number for a movie that isn't marketed as a musical.

the teensy twins are very good singresses
Oh no, the natives are doing a sexy group dance to arouse the Mothra!
EGG
Now that theyβve been kidnapped by Japanese P. T. Barnum, the twins can now do Broadway musical style numbers
(Hush, I know itβs not very Broadway)
This song gets stuck in the mind #Monsterdon

17s left in the 4th quarter and the Bears are tied up with the Rams and my wife is climbing the walls
@kcarr2015 I like it when Mothra shows up and Mothras all over those guys
the egg rolls down towards them and suddenly it's the indiana jones opening gambit
We have a fun spaghetti western from 1970 at #westwed this coming week. Absolutely killer Morricone score. #monsterdon
@SnoopJ
It's Mothra-in time!
A hothead businessman gets his way by spending all the money? Would never happein in 2026. :grr:
Do they sell Mothras at the mosura-ya?

Back on the island the Russamericans come back and kidnap the tiny ladies again. The natives try to stop them with their drum circle, but the Russamericans overule their objections with submachineguns.
One of the natives goes to a cave and prays at a diorama of some columns, screaming "Mothra" and then some rocks break, but we still don't know what Mothra is yet.
What in the E.T.?
Oh, these cackling kidnapper murderer dudes all better die by the end.
#monsterdon
#mothra
do they wheel out a giant magnifying glass for the audience to see?
"Let's use their plea for help as our entertainment!"
mwahahahahaha mwahahahaha
and now is the portion with the evil villains and their guns
I mean, I guess if you're conducting for #mothra, this is the right way to do it. Flap your wings like a moth near a flame.
#monsterdon This is a terrible venue to show off the fairies. They could be literal barbie dolls for all the audience can tell.
And we now have music reminiscent of the 10 Commandments as rock crumbles and a Thing is revealed
@saucerlost Or, from some angles and facial expressions, Jimmy Fallon.
#monsterdon Points for quick plastic Barbie prop use.
We really are going full colonialist jerks in this movie, huh? #Monsterdon
Fairies have nothing compared to Bat Child #Monsterdon
#monsterdon #mothra #mothradon
Steal the women, massacre the men. A tale as old as time..
God damn it, killing the local population. Like we didnβt already recognize the villian #Monsterdon
whoops, he went and told mom D: #Monsterdon

Nooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!
Dying Islander: Maybe we should have brought weapons instead of drums #mothra1961 #Monsterdon
#monsterdon There's some shots where the girls are obviously dolls, but they do a good job of not hanging on those shots. They go past quick.
Ah yes, explorers went forth to strange new lands in pursuit of strippers makes total sense #Monsterdon
wakaran. (what a handy word.)
Those are some crazy plants. #monsterdon

#monsterdon I've always wondered if anyone has ever greeting-bowed so hard they did a Three Stooges bonk gag.
Pretty sure I haven't seen this before. I'm surprised.
@helianthropy Ainu face? π¬

#mothra
Hahaha thatβs not what rubbings look like
Oh no, here comes the kidnapping π©
"You're using coconuts!"
"What?"
"You've got two empty halves of coconut and you're bangin' 'em together!"
"So? We have ridden since the snows of winter covered this land, through the kingdom of Mercia, through..."
"Where'd you get the coconuts?"
The thing about this movie is since we canβt understand the twinsβ language we have no way to tell if the movie passes the Bechdel test when theyβre on screen
#monsterdon #mothra #mothradon
We are watching the dubbed version, sadly.. our tears might drown the Japanese Norns.
those "natives" all look like surfer dudes
His utterly sinister expression when calling them specimens. *shudder*

π― The Peanuts (singers playing the two fairies) never interacted with the cast due to scheduling complications. They acted in front of a big blue screen in a giant set.
π Actors interacted with dolls during filming while a tape recorder with the Peanuts' lines was played back.
boo this man! this dishonorable faerie captor! BOO, BOO I SAY
"What should I do boss"
Y'know it's a shame the meaning of the word "goon" has shifted so unfortunately. That guy was *made* to be a goon. #Monsterdon
well WE won't be testing any nuclear weapons, we can't speak for the Americans.
This is like the Atari version of the Diva from Fifth Element
#monsterdon I don't want to make a Richard Gere joke. So I wonβt.
STOP HANDLING THE TINY WOMEN! They are not yours!

doc's got some exploitin' to do
@diazona I'm sorry, but size does matter. π

Is it Mothra yet? #Monsterdon #Mothra πͺ°π₯
This music is interesting. Thought it was a sound effect at first.

The little "fairies" or "priestesses" were difficult to schedule for shooting because they were already very popular as 'The Peanuts' singing twins.
ooo, he's got a 1950s Tricorder
oyasumi! (the only correct reaction to that guy.)
Computer: Stand down red alert.

Little women.
@CactuarJoe i thought it was part of the soundtrack for a bit #Monsterdon
That's not a news expression. That's just misogyny
#Monsterdon #Mothra
"Well, good night" yup, that's me
*men fantasizing about taking tiny women back home in briefcases*
I, too, also wonder...
Ah yes. Mold juice. Itβs what plants crave. #Monsterdon #mothra
