22 Nov 2008 – 30 Nov 2008
As part of the 2008 Comica season, we present a special anime double-bill with the first two features adapted from author Masashi Kishimoto's Naruto manga series. The first film follows the antics of hyperactive junior ninja Naruto, who finds himself guarding his favourite actress, leading to a spectacular showdown in the Land of Snow. In the follow-up—still unseen in the UK—Naruto finds himself fighting over a precious mineral that has the power to create or destroy worlds.
The double bill of both films screens on 22 November
The double bill screening is introduced by Helen McCarthy, author of 500 Essential Anime Movies: The Ultimate Guide.
