So that's why they are called the Peanuts!
#Monsterdon #Mothra

Congratulations! It's a gigantic moth! #Monsterdon

@emma #Monsterdon
Oh no!

Since it's a giant moth, we thought we would bring a gigantic lightbulb and just attract it. #monsterdon #mothra

The framing of the city shots with fire are similar to Gojira, but colorized. #Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe monsters of all shapes and sizes are just naturally drawn to the Tokyo Tower. Like moths to a wire frame.
#Monsterdon

Atomic heat gun is perfect for keeping the cocoon warm.

#monsterdon #Mothra

NO SPITTING, MOTHRA. #monsterdon #mothra

We have silk! #Monsterdon #Mothra

@ryan saaaaaad! My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
#Monsterdon #Mothra

destruction of the ever-important radio tower: ✅ #monsterdon

Heh, y'know, I don't think I've seen a kaijuu flick yet in which the Tokyo Tower goes unmolested. There's just something about it giant monsters can't resist :P #Monsterdon

sorry guys #monsterdon interrupted by a huge irl power outage 😬

Oh good model destruction! I do love a good building collapse :3 #Monsterdon

I guess this is before the military learned that no conventional weapons can bother a kaiju. What am i saying? No military has EVER learned that! #monsterdon #mothra

check in every corner, under every chicken! #Monsterdon

The recoil on the toy tanks *chef's kiss* #Monsterdon #Mothra

Mothra is doing the… butterfly stroke… on land! #Monsterdon

@cheribaker "Be a shame if anything should happen to it!..." #WrongMontyPythonSkit #monsterdon

Oh no, the kid’s name is Shinji? #Monsterdon #Mothra

I love that the faeries are like "this plan is already in motion and _nothing_ you do will affect it" #monsterdon

Nobody panics like an extra in a Toho film. #monsterdon #mothra

I love, absolutely love, miniature water effects. #Monsterdon

What does Golgo 13 back there think he's gonna do with a rifle against Mothra?
#Monsterdon #Mothra

Okay. Comic relief reporter gets a pass on any and all goofiness now. #Monsterdon #Mothra

Mothra’s on a mission #Monsterdon

EVACUATION SCENE!

#MonsterdonBingo
#Mothra #Monsterdon #Mothradon

#monsterdon what was in his mouth?

Did they remember to put breathing holes in the telepathy-proof box? #monsterdon

burning the ocean to kill a caterpillar #monsterdon

♫Mo-su-raaa ya!♪

#Monsterdon

To block the Mothra homing signal, we will need to put the fairies in a... Fairaday cage. #monsterdon

I love that every kaiju can swim. #Monsterdon #Mothra

unnecessary oscilloscope sighting #Monsterdon

Mothra was realized by a series of big moth props. And one of them was very very big.
Eiji Tsuburaya for scale.
#Monsterdon #Mothra

"nothing would be any use" these are utter disaster fairies #monsterdon

🗞️ just hitting em with a rolled up newspaper #Monsterdon

🦋 Metamorphic Trivia 🦋

The Mothra larva in water was about 3 feet long. Still, it had a built-in motorcycle engine. That's more power than my car.

#Monsterdon

you don't see a lot of playbill-kata anymore, it's a neglected art form

#monsterdon #mothra

The best way for a moth to get to Tokyo is to swim there #monsterdon

There she is!

#Monsterdon

Mothra: "I'm here to chew gum and stomp things and I'm a damn moth and can't chew gum."

#MONSTERDON

@sean kaiju uber has never been more popular

#Mothra #Monsterdon #Mothradon

#Monsterdon Minox camera

Not on my bingo card!

mothra hates colonialist scum

#monsterdon

THEY'RE ENJOYING CALLING THEIR GOD TO KILL YOU DUMBASS, NOT SLAVERY
#Monsterdon #Mothra

So the audience is basically watching a tank of sea monkeys from their seats.
#Monsterdon #Mothra

I love the Mothra song.

If I were to sing this in a time of trouble, I’m pretty sure it wouldn’t summon a vengeful moth goddess, but I’m also pretty sure I’d get through it.

#Monsterdon #mothra

@brion yeah, strong King Kong vibes. I love it! #Monsterdon #Mothra

@Taweret Life was tough in the days before they invented Jumbotrons #monsterdon

Oh, they... ARE actually singing. Gotta say, if a villain kidnapped me I would not really be eager to put on a show. #Monsterdon

Hahahaha you dumbasses are letting them summon #Mothra sucks to be you.
#Monsterdon

if there was no market for traveling tiny fairy shows then there would be no tiny fairy kidnap #monsterdon

This is so elaborate, and yet it's a terrible way to show off a pair of performers whose gimmick is being tiny.

#monsterdon

…well they aren’t exactly secret anymore now are they #monsterdon

Is there some cultural significance to the tiny flying coach? A Cinderella reference? MAKE IT MAKE SENSE. #monsterdon #mothra

Flying in in a a tiny gold carriage is totally rock star. I'll give them that. #Monsterdon #Mothra

please enjoy the next three hours of looking at the tiny women you can't possibly see from all the way across the theater

there will be no refunds

#monsterdon

They're gonna get eggxactly what they deserve .... 🥁

#Monsterdon #Mothra

so this guy has a Bela Lugosi accent? can he do that thing with his hands?

#monsterdon #mothra

the question only this film dares to ask: can a giant egg climb a skyscriper and fight off biplanes?

#monsterdon #mothra #waitno

Whoops, they're doing a colonialism. #MONSTERDON

gotta trust a guy who wears brown cardigans and can whip out a book with that many post it flags at a moment's notice. #Monsterdon

I appreciate that the villain of this picture is colonialist violence. I was gonna root for Mothra anyway, now I get to feel good about it. #Monsterdon

Leave the Smol Peanut Ladies alone! :blobastonished: #Monsterdon

They speak synthesizer!

#Monsterdon

The Shobijin speak in theremin!

#Monsterdon #Mothra

honda really excels at aesthetics and creating an atmosphere

#monsterdon

Bro your car alarm is going off bro #monsterdon #mothra

#monsterdon

some great set design #monsterdon

sorry i wasn't posting much. i was eating

#monsterdon

"No, JUICE. JUICE. Not Juche! JUICE." "The great leader is never wrong!"

#monsterdon #mothra

those rocks look really craggly and sharp. like they could slice thru those tn foil suits in an instance.

#Mothra #Monsterdon #Mothradon

Thought I was watching Mothra but this movie seems to be a Ghostbusters prequel. #Monsterdon

"And don't forget your backpacks!"

[every alarm is accidentally set off]

#monsterdon #mothra

Roliskan? The expedition is funded by the Roliskan government? Who came up with that name?

#Monsterdon

"...the radiation zone is for glowing and unglowing only. If you need to glow, please proceed to the radiation zone."

#Monsterdon #Mothra

Frankie Sakai is a great comedic actor. he's also in You Can Succeed, Too as a dancing salaryman #Monsterdon

that's right, Nelson is a Transformer #monsterdon

why would you translate iterasshai as good luck when bon voyage is right there. they're on a bloody boat for lord's sake. #Monsterdon #translationNitPicking

The best guillotine is the one you have with you

#Monsterdon #Mothra

"Just like the guillotine, you never know when the shutter's going to come down on you." Is Japan home to some super stealthy feral guillotine breed?

BREAK IT UP

#monsterdon #mothra

I wish this movie committed to having this actor behind a news paper or lab equipment or whatever the whole movie. He's handsome, but it would be a great bit. And this movie is not above bits.
#Monsterdon #Mothra

"please don't do that to me again" - the mouse

#monsterdon #mothra

Welp, now there’s some plucky kids, there goes the movie. #Monsterdon #Mothra

"naturally-occuring rad-away? my gods, this will be huge!"

#monsterdon #mothra

What is it with Japanese reporters and getting *right* up in your face? #Monsterdon

That's not a siren. Someone's trying to pill a cat on that boat. #Monsterdon #Mothra

Atomic test areas and ships. Like moths to a flame. #Monsterdon #Mothra

"...what? Infant island?"
"quick! Prepare the rattles!"

#Monsterdon #Mothra

@RobynGoodfellow Oh good, I was worried we were about to get a visit from Mr. Peanut. #Monsterdon

all the best kaiju movies start by sinking a boat

because fuck boats APPARENTLY is why

#monsterdon #mothra

Confession: The twins were my first crush. I think I was 5. #Monsterdon

Starting in a command center, good sign. #Monsterdon #Mothra

the weather station tells you it is SCIENCE #monsterdon

🦋 Metamorphic Trivia 🦋

Mothra was the most expensive movie made in Japan up to that point. Columbia Pictures helped out with funding.

Columbia contract required destruction of non-Japanese city, thus was created New Kirk City.
