Monster Planet of Godzilla (Japanese: 怪獣プラネットゴジラ, Hepburn: Kaijū Puranetto Gojira) is a 1994 Japanese kaiju short film directed by Kōichi Kawakita. The film served as a theme park attraction that was screened at Sanrio Puroland and Harmony Land[1] from March 18, 1994[2] to July 1, 1998.[3] It is a 3-D motion simulator featuring specially filmed sequences of Godzilla battling the monsters Mothra and Rodan.[4] All the monsters were portrayed using the costumes and props from the early 1990s Godzilla films. In addition, a new super-plane named Earth is introduced to thwart the monsters' destructive rampage.
Cast
- Megumi Odaka as Miki Saegusa[5]
- Iemasa Kayumi as Professor Dreamon (voice)
- Megumi Hayashibara as Hello Kitty (voice)
- Kaneto Shiozawa as Planet pilot (voice) / G-Force soldier (voice)
- Kenpachiro Satsuma as Godzilla[1]
The footage from the attraction was released as a bonus feature for the Japan-only Godzilla Final Box (with the Hello Kitty footage removed, possibly due to legal issues and the short's depiction of her as a general not particularly appropriate for the character).[5]
