Viewing Notes

Based on a children’s book with a surprisingly very dark ending.

This was programmed by DKUTV for their tribute to the Godzilla Champion Festival events from the early 1970s. They are replicating the seasonal schedule from 1970. During those festivals they screened re-edited Godzilla movies and family flicks for children.
