This film is based off of the popular anime and manga series Naruto by Masashi Kishimoto. It hit theaters in Japan on August 21st, 2004. Naruto the Movie was instantly a hit and stayed at the top of the Japanese box office charts for a while. The original Naruto movie was so popular and well recieved that recently a sequel was announced and will make its theatrical debut in Summer 2005. Plot Set in the Snow country, the story will follow the plight of the leader of the Snow Country, his young daughter and his younger brother. Originally, the ruler of this small, ice covered country was a man named Kazehana Sousetsu, who had helped keep the country peaceful and had ambitions to let his daughter rule the country when he had retired. However, his younger brother Dotou was also keen to take the throne and he revolted against Sousetsu to take control of the Snow country. Tragically, Sousetsu was killed, but as he died he gave a precious crystal to his daughter, named Koyuki, who then fled the country. Ten years later, and back in the present, the new ruler of the Snow country, Dotou, is trying to strengthen his country's military forces in order to challenge the power of the 5 Great Shinobi countries. Back in the Leaf Village, it is some time after the end of the Chuunin exam, and Kakashi's Team 7 are given a new A-rank mission. The duty assigned to the team is to escort a popular but selfish actress called Fujimi Yuki to the Snow country where she is to film a new movie, the last in the 'Adventures of the Unlucky Princess' series, even though she is reluctant to go and walks out of the studio. Eventually she is persuaded to go, but the reception she recieves in the Snow country is far from friendly. Their enemies in the movie are called Mizore, Nadare and Fubuki (whose names translate to Sleet, Avalanche and Snow-Storm) who are dressed in special suits that allow them to utilise snow-based attacks, particularly with the mechanical looking devices on their arms. They attack the actress and Team 7 at once, but there seems to be some relation between their attack and the girl Koyuki, who went missing ten years previously... The movie also features a second, smaller story about an athletic competition that will be held in the Leaf Village, featuring Team 7 and many of the Leaf Genin. Voice Talent The character names are in Japanese order, with the given name after the family name. The names of the seiyū are in Western order, with the family name after the given name.
