Mothra (1961)

 

Part of the original Godzilla franchise. Mothra is a gigantic moth that is worshipped on Infant Island. When an expedition goes to Infant Island, two little priestesses (about the size of Thumbelina) are captured by club owner Clark Nelson who then uses them at his club. Mothra then goes on a quest to rescue her priestesses and bring them back home. Unlike some of the other kaiju films, Mothra doesn’t set out to destroy. She’s just going in a straight line to find her priestesses and if you happen to be in her way? Well that’s your problem. Long lauded as the Queen of the Monsters, Mothra is one of my favorite kaijus.
