About Naruto the Movie 3: Guardians of the Crescent Moon Kingdom

Here is what Naruto the Movie 3: Guardians of the Crescent Moon Kingdom (Naruto Movie 3: Dai Koufun! Mikazuki Jima no Animaru Panikku Dattebayo!) is about, retold in plain terms: an action and adventure anime by Studio Pierrot (2006). What the story covers: Led by Kakashi Hatake, Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno, and Rock Lee are tasked to escort the extravagant Prince Michiru Tsuki and his spoiled son Hikaru to the prosperous Land of Moon when the two return from a long trip around. As if guarding two whimsical high-ranked individuals was not challenging enough, the prince's reckless decision to acquire an entire circus during their journey—mainly to entertain Hikaru's wish of owning the saber-toothed tiger.

Further in, while Kakashi's team relentlessly fights the adversary by any means necessary, the two princes are compelled to confront a new outlook on life through adversity.

As an action title, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. If you count yourself among viewers who like fast, high-impact fights, put it on your list.

Production & Appeal

Animation is handled by Studio Pierrot, so the studio's house style defines how Naruto the Movie 3: Guardians of the Crescent Moon Kingdom looks and moves on screen. Within the action category, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. With a 6.9/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. Released in 2006, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
