[siralucard19]

0:22 THats alot of fish!

[UltimateLifeformRB]

I remember this documentary. I recorded it but lost the tape a long time ago.

[x2boys]

Stuff like this makes me think no really understands godzilla. They just think he's a big lizard that breathes fire. but he is more than that

[NyanCatRulesUrWorld]

wow my sis says Godzilla is a stupid ass fake and im like NU UH GODZILLA IS AWESOME HE IS NOT FAKE HE IS REAL U ASS HOLE

[NyanCatRulesUrWorld]

I love U GODZILLA IM AM ONE OF UR FANS BTW :D

[microsoftnerd4life]

Brodtard: I've always been a fan of godzilla. Me: well, you hide it well >:(

[mrwhippy101]

Godzilla wasnt the first japanese monster

[godzilla964]

@mrwhippy101 I know. Before "Gojira", there were two king kong movies, but they are all lost because of WW2.

[MegaRaptor27]

@godzilla964 one must me the first kaiju movie

[GORIZARD7]

@mrwhippy101 Who was the first Japanese monster if not Godzilla then?

[mrwhippy101]

@GORIZARD7 The lost king kong films that were made in japan before godzilla

[GORIZARD7]

@mrwhippy101 True but TECHNICALLY King Kong is American so it doesn't count. Godzilla still is the first Japanese monster.

[mrwhippy101]

@GORIZARD7 yes but technically it was a monster movie it didnt hv anything to do with the american 1 making it a japanese version and it came before godzilla

[GORIZARD7]

@mrwhippy101 Let me rephrase what I said...

King Kong was an American creation. Where Godzilla was created by the Japanese! Therefore by default making Godzilla the first Japanese movie monster! King Kong is not a Japanese creation, but an American creation. Godzilla is not the first movie monster but he is the first JAPANESE movie monster.

[mrwhippy101]

@GORIZARD7 ok fair point

[hentesgyik95]

The star wars's creatures are not loading up?

[yvonnzilla506]

I AGREE WITH SEABEEBUILDER1973.

[steventheraiderful]

@ThalllestBro It's because that's nit the Godzilla everybody knows this Godzilla burrows underground hiding from the military he's an districting force!

[ThaIllestBro]

I don't understand why people always moan about the 1998 American Godzilla movie... sure, it was crap, but what did you expect? An intellectual drama?

[godzillaisnuclea123]

@ThaIllestBro you are clearly not a godzilla fan then.

[legendarywerewolf206]

looks like Luky Dragon wasent so luky. 

[snakes3425]

Oddly enough I remember hearing it was Godzilla that inspired Cloverfield, JJ Abrams is recorded as saying seeing Godzilla everywhere made him feel that America needed it's own verson of Godzilla.

[Jacbill63]

@snakes3425 Unfortunately Abrams is not inspired enough, the more time he wastes delaying a Cloverfield pre/sequel... the less likely it's ever going to be completed.

[Xeivous]

... was that Captain Sulu in the beginning??

[pacman5698]

@Xeivous Oh you know it!

[snakes3425]

@Xeivous

Yes, oddly enough George Takei's first major role was as one of the dub-actors for Godzilla Raids Again

[sonbuhitsunei]

@Xeivous Doing voiceovers on Godzilla was pretty much his first acting gig hehe long before he was Sulu :P

[SUPERMATT5546]

godzilla's not green,he's dark grey

[SUPERMATT5546]

They should have played Blue Oster Cult's song on Godzilla

[Chuloloc]

Awesome. The birth of Godzuki. Time for Part 2.

[ironwez20]

lol little boy scared outta his mind at 4:20

[XxComablackxX1937]

Legendary Pictures an Warner Bro's are working with Toho to Reboot the ''American Godzilla Franchise'' an are planning to release it sometime in 2012.

It wont have anything to do with the 1998 shit-fest by Emmerich an Devlin, an There keeping the Classic Toho design, Atomic Breath an it's confirmed Godzilla will fight 1 or more monster's in the film.

So all hail Godzilla's great return to American Theater's!

[VenomShock]

@XxComablackxX1937 Anything can happen

[wesgriff1]

Can it be argued that Godzilla is neither carnivore nor herbivore?

[dav112691]

To finish what Matthew Broderick was saying:

"I've always been a fan of Godzilla........Which is why I feel so ashamed by my actions in helping with that film."

[Godzie1]

Since childhood in the 60s, I have been a fan of the King of the monsters! Where do you think Godzie came from? Anyway America screwed up making that stupid swamp monster movie & dared to name it after the King. I was pissed & shut it off when I saw that fake. Thank God Godzilla kicked his ass in Final Wars! Loved it!

[Tyler13R]

The reason why the American Godzilla movie was so terrible was because Roland Emerich directed it...what did you expect...the guy is easily the most over rated directer in Hollywood. He gets so much hype because he's Hollywood's political propaganda butt-boy and so he gets the shiny projects but all he knows how to do is special affects and putting down white people and culture in every way possible.

[RudySpino]

Whoa, Whoa, Whoa! 0:23 Broderick said WHAT!!

Did he ever even see the monster he was working with!!!

[MproductionsMovies]

Godzilla for president!

[Fisher1031]

THANK YOU FOR UPLOADING THIS!!! IVE BEEN TRYING TO FIND IT FOR YEARS!!!!!!!!

[Craigmin]

John Carpenter on Animal Planet!

[MrThePandaman]

This was one of the first things I ever saw on TV!

[godzillafreaky]

this is awesome

[Tradller]

where can I buy this?

[nickelbackattak]

godzilla in 2012,official

[MrSistermaryelephant]

I remember when the "western" Godzilla came out in 98 or something. I puked in my mouth a little. Nothing beats the original 54 Godzilla. The 98 one was just gay and so hollywood

[jacksonOMG]

when did this came out?

[pacman5698]

I remember watching this when I was 9, already a fan of Godzilla. I have been a fan of him since I was 5.

[GodzillaTechno]

cant wiat for godzilla 3D!i hope its real!

[legodeath2600]

i love godzilla i have the movies,games & figures of godzilla too much shit

[mechatyler]

Godzilla fans are certainly an elite group of people. Only a limited amount understand what he's all about.

[egdeltur666]

@mechatyler The majority of G-Fans seem to have died out around the time of GFW. The group of people left in their wake that call themselves "G-Fans" are pretty much only united by their utter hatred of any actual Godzilla movie except the first one.

They are also all children, so none of them understand why it's not kosher to just "be okay" with Zilla. Some don't even know what GINO means. No, that's not a joke.

[MegaRaptor27]

@egdeltur666 im a G-Fan and i believe toho will still produce goji films

they just retire Big G for 10 years

[godzillafan452]

@mechatyler i am one of those people

[AFROJASON666]

in a strange way...we made the first godzilla movie since toshihiro takeda said that he was inspired from the beast from 20 000 fathoms

[THEBIGJOBE]

HE AIN'T GREEN DAMN IT!!!!! HE HAS NEVER BEEN GREEN!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL (well he was in G2K and Godzilla vs Megaguirus)

[mattiathekaiju]

jonh carpenter or tim burton shoulded made the godzilla remake.

not dean devlin.

[godzilla964]

What happened to the show "Animal Icons"? Is it still around?

[K66guns0]

not really they just show one episode about media pets,such as Brian from Family Guy

[GamingGenius]

I noticed that Dr. Laurence G. Barnes didn't know about one of Godzilla's body features: his arms and hands. According to a special feature on the new dvd of the original film, the art department's final version of Godzilla's appearance, made using a very early children's book on dinosaurs and a dino issue of Life magazine, had the body, legs, tail and head of a T-Rex, the arms and hands of Iguanodon, and plates like Stegosaurus.

[fmoe2750]

so Japan stole our ideas and made this all time classic monster, if we never made king kong and that other monster movie godzilla would've never came to be so in short it was imagined by us and made famous by the Japanese

[amartinez97]

no dude the idea was not stoel from out movies infact i dont tink the first godzilla movie cam out until lsomewhere in the 1920s and king kong came out in 1933

[thekillerklown13]

@amartinez97 actuallly godzilla came out in 1954

[aznricekracker]

fmoe2750, what are you talking about? King Kong is still a very classic monster, just as popular as Godzilla as well as having the credibility of being first. Why would Jackson have bothered to make his epic had it not been for the creature's enduring and legendary reputation?

[aznricekracker]

In response to your claim that Japan "stole our ideas", I beg to differ. They were definitely INSPIRED by our monster films, yes, but they ADDED ideas to these films that hadn't been done before. Their monster was different from any American monster at that time--it breathed fire, it was invincible, it was mean spirited, etc. The film also was much darker in tone than the US monster flicks of that time. Their additions made Gojira stand out from the rest of the monster pack, making it unique

[AFROJASON666]

i remember when i saw godzila for the first time..it blew my mind

[Nickcritic]

fail

[gore21best]

fail

[SeabeeBuilder1973]

I tell you what... this is intesting to know the history and the horror that gave Godzilla's birth. I must say one word, "wow."

[megalon73]

Godzilla story is the best King Kong suck's.

[RedRex300]

ur right

[RedRex300]

no he's not

[rodansman]

what do you know about movies, the story was well done and the art of the tristar godzilla by pratrick t. was an upgrade to the original rubber suit.

[RedRex300]

the story was good but it mocks the name "godzilla"

[rodansman]

true, the old Japanese man at the beginning thought he saw what appeared to be Godzilla because of the legend, but it was a new monster, later renamed "ZILLA", so if you think of it that way it was a BAD ASS movie.

[RedRex300]

i know all that, but i just don't like it, no hard feeligs :)

[krakendude2]

thanks 4 uploading this. animal planet doesent air this anymore :-(

also to the people who think final wars is terrible, shut the fuck up. final wars was a great movie, with fantastic action scenes and great battles. if you want to see terrible, watch godzillas revenge.

[jamescroteau]

the guy called big G an angry green giant.

godzilla wasn't green until Godzilla 2000

[Godzilla00X]

the lucky dragon that is flat out irony nothing but flat out irony

[Teenlego]

Two of the Best Godzilla Mvies are

GodZilla(1954) and Godzilla: Final Wars(2004)

[TonySav17]

first movie was great but final wars was terrible

[pytko3]

Final Wars was an awful film. It was so bad, that it bombed in Japan when it was released and only barely made the money it cost to make it back, when it was released internationally.

[Hustler86a]

The old Godzilla was a guy in a ruber suit with a mini city to run around in and step on whatever he wanted as long as it was one que.

[Higzilla99]

King Kong Vs Godzilla

Directed by John Capenter

Written by Tim Burton

With Visual Effects by Peter Jackosn

thats the only godzilla American remake i would watch more than once

[Godzilla00X]

tim burton fuckin freak dude

[TonySav17]

oh ur saying if they remade king kong vs. godzilla, thats the staff u wud want on it? at first i thought u were sayin that john carpenter did direct it, was like WOO no way

[killerrodan]

Same here.

[NULLcHiLD27]

Why Tim Burton or Peter Jackson? Tim Burton would fuck up the story with some stupid "gothic" crap and Peter Jackson would want to use CGI.

[CrimsonKaiju]

Peter Jackson also thinks that using suits is lame. I don't see how that could work.

[Higzilla99]

1. John Capenter can tell a story look a Halloween and his remake of the Thing

2, Tim Burton should make the story dark look at the original Japanesse virson its dark and gloomy

3. To the die hard fans. a guy in a rubber G costume is a tradition that has withstood the test of time. but to the genreal public its down right laugh able. make him cg with trademark featuresJackson could pull it off look at Kong

[blueravenfire]

i love the parts were godzilla is on the metro train XD

[MelonMan2431]

Godzilla's not green he's black

[VenomShock]

he's technically Charcoal Grey

[metalfreak4677]

godzilla kicks king kongs but

[jasonmachete]

even tho he's not wearing a cape, you no, defending the USA ...wtf, a hero doesn't have to wear a cape, duh!! look at spiderman

[eagc7]

i miss animal cions since i live on a diferent country and they stoped airing it where i livz. can you uplaod mroe eps plz

[tarzanacrest]

9:01 A band of geniuses!

[chatzu]

if america ever takes another crack at godzilla, john carpenter should make it. that would be sweet^_^

[Casanuda]

We shouldn't bother, that would be like making an American version of Dragon Ball Z. Also we've seen that the idea just doesn't work.

[Animeman2008]

They are making an american version of Dragonball..(Responce to Casanuda's comment)

Also, I've been looking for this clip :)

[Link4587452]

DBZ has an American version. The uncut version is pretty good.

[CCChRiStIaN13]

japan should make antoyher not america if america made another it would suck more than godzilla 1998 did

[vint7107]

i wouldn't mind america taking another go at it, but i was so disappointed in godzilla 1998 so i'm a bit skeptical like you. i think they ought to place it in back in japan 1950s era, not modern-day NYC...WTF WERE THEY THINKING?!?! i could see hollywood trying to make a trilogy of it, but it definitely needs to go back to japan in some way.

[Twackius]

if matthew broderick's such a fan of godzilla why'd he agree to be in that shit film?

[Selsiuss2]

he agreed with the changes, and he thought it would be a big hit. it did make money, but not acclaim.

[OriginalLawnmower]

@Twackius Money. Lots of money.

[pytko3]

@Twackius The money.

[wesgriff1]

Money.

[RajahBrooke]

@Twackius I don't think actors realise what the movie's going to be like when they film it. They make it one scene at a time, often out of sequence, and without seeing the special effects or action sequences. I'd imagine Broderick isn't particularly proud of that particular film. That said, he might not be a fan - he's trying to sell a film after all.

[sonbuhitsunei]

@Twackius You wouldnt have if you were offered millions of dollars? Just saying;)

[killerrodan]

@Twackius Money,I'm guessing.Movie still sucked thou.

[GrandMasterJago2]

haha John Carpenter has always been my favorite director i guess this explains quite a bit

[mewantcool]

:37 to :42 OMG that guy/prodcucer is FUNNY!!!

[cscentrlvideos]

It's that dinosaur thing that kids gravitate to. Kids, generally, are drawn close to things that are bigger than them. It's a kind of subconscious parental instinct, and, in a sense, dinosaurs & monsters (like Godzilla) represent a kind of parental symbolism. Why do you think Barney, Jurassic Park & Godzilla are such a hit with children?

[bobhansenobc]

Easy: because everyone knows that children are cold-blooded.

[cscentrlvideos]

Is it true that Godzilla's cry was a combination of a rusty steel gate and a modulated cello?

[Selsiuss2]

It was a resin coated glove rubbed against a high tension wire.

[mikomisushi]

i love all the godzilla films, even the american one lol

[xXTequilaXx07]

jesus Takei went crazy at the start there

[EXFLASHFIRE]

wooo hooo go the god of godzilla

[Godzillakid92]

This is my favotite episode of animal icons

[Atomicgodzilla1]

What ever happened to that show?

[HarryPotter1992x]

I think it was sadly, just a mini series.

Wish it still came on though, I loved that show.

[DevillSin21]

i love animal icons

[orangewolf98W]

hola

[Beamshipcaptain]

Is the new monster derived from Godzilla's cells? Or a new bioengineered monster, or a monster accidently brought back from outer space (like in THE X FROM OUTER SPACE-1967 Shochiku).

[ElvisIsJesusChrist]

the new monster is derived from charles durning's cells. it is also bio-engineered from raymond burr's exhumed cells, and brought back to earth by nick adams's cells.

[Beamshipcaptain]

Hohaaaa!!

[ElvisIsJesusChrist]

one more time again.

[ElvisIsJesusChrist]

There is a new American non-Godzilla coming to theatres January 18, 2008.

[ElvisIsJesusChrist]

There is a new American non-Godzilla coming to theatres January 18, 2008.

[Beamshipcaptain]

There is a new American Godzilla coming to theatres January 18, 2008.

[ElvisIsJesusChrist]

No, there isn't.

[Beamshipcaptain]

Yes there is. They had the trailer on right before the TRANSFORMERS. Google: cloverfield.

[ElvisIsJesusChrist]

cloverfield isn't a godzilla movie. I know that many people really want it to be, but it isn't. it's a new monster. sorry.

[godzillaman1954X]

Godzilla 3D to the max,is the sequel of godzilla vs hedorah

[PkMn4anime]

[ninjalooting86]

[ryfleman]

there are no plans for a sequel to the 1998 american godzilla. a sequel was briefly in development around 1999-2000, but it's long dead.

[Slowbro3272]

@ryfleman Could they have made one if the called their movie was called IDK, "ZILLA"?

[PkMn4anime]

this is good

[Kongzillera]

I remember watching this. My entire family was bugging me to change the channel. Why do so many people hate Godzilla?

[Gcrusher]

Thank you so much dude. i dont have animal planet and ive always wanted to watch this so thank you very much!

[tohogate]

THanks dude!

[dxnwo]

[Homerbart]

[PkMn4anime]
