I've always thought Mothra is one of my favorite Kaiju creatures of all time. She is actually a nice monster, but she spares no ones life, because she is more concerned about her sacred nymphs that were captured by people who want money and money only. But for some reason, I've had a feeling that this "might" have been an inspiration for Gamera to be another nice Kaiju. But this is still pretty cool.
Toho has 3 Mothra movies for us now (including one being made this year)! They are just as good (if a bit campier) as this movie.
