The Great Yokai War' chronicles the otherworldly adventures of an 11 year-old boy named Tadashi, an inquisitive child who reluctantly moves to a small rural township after the divorce of his parents. Typical childhood struggles apply, though things get a bit more involved once our pint-sized hero is dubbed the "Kirin Rider' at a colorful local festival. Almost immediately after the title has been bestowed upon the wee lad, Tadashi is recruited to help aid a bizarre collection of mythological Japanese monsters (yokai) in their battle against a twisted foe who would love nothing more than to transform these lovably kooky creatures into mechanical and technological villains. Peculiar set-pieces and random yet oddly enjoyable scenarios soon follow.  This is truly one of the most amazing fantasy film ever produced.  This is one of the rare live action films that can be compared with the absolute best of Japanese Animation.  At this low price with free domestic shipping how can you pass up this treasure.  This is rated PG-13.  It has audio in both Japanese and English.  In 2.0 and 5.1.  It is shown in 1.85:1.  And the running time is 124 minutes.
