Naruto Movie 1: Dai Katsugeki!! Yuki Hime Shinobu Houjou Dattebayo!

Naruto Uzumaki and his squadmates, Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno, are sent on a mission to escort a movie crew on its way to film in the Land of Snow. They soon find out that they are accompanying a famous actress, Yukie Fujikaze, who persistently refuses to travel there, making the trip far more difficult than originally intended. After a surprising encounter with ninjas from the Land of Snow, Naruto discovers that there is more to Yukie than meets the eye.

Dai Katsugeki!! Yuki Hime Shinobu Houjou Dattebayo! follows the group as they attempt to overcome the obstacles in the Land of Snow and unveil Yukie's true purpose there as well.

The story was mostly focused on the land of the Snow Princess who also is an actress, she had a terrible past. And team 7 is assigned to escort her to the land of snow for making a movie, but it was done to return her to her own land and take the lead and protect the people of the land from the villain. The main characters are given some focus, especially Naruto, the villains were decent, and the fights were decent also. Art style and
the animation was decent.
I give it 7/10.
What I liked was naruto and the princess bond and the princess's development ... throughout the movie.

Mixed Feelings

I think for all the people who got into anime because of Naruto, the English title of this movie has become shorthand for "super non-canon adventure in a new town with new characters that are never seen or heard from again." This came out before Naruto as a series had very much filler, so this was like an introduction to filler for a whole generation of anime watchers. So how does it hold up?

It's... okay. It doesn't do anything especially bad, it's just another mission for Team 7 to go on. I think in that sense it's actually really neat to see all of Team ... 7 working together on missions like this because in the manga canon they really only go on the one away mission before the series of events that leads to Sasuke defecting. There's was a short anime filler between the Tsunade arc and the Sasuke Retrieval arc where they went on an away mission but that was it. These Naruto part 1 movies are all we've really got to showcase how these 4 used to work as a team together before they could all summon kaiju and blow up mountains with DBZ energy blasts. In that sense I think it's an alright movie.

I think in the grand scheme of Naruto filler, most of which I despise and which nearly ruined the series for me, this one is just below being average, but above being intolerable. 6/10

Not Recommended

I recognize the effort put into trying to make this movie good, but while I applaud the attempt, it doesn’t quite get there for me. I think it mostly has to do with the conflicting elements this film has. It was jarring for me to see some modern features added to Naruto, which I always thought to be situated in older times. Even the clothes of some of the new characters contrast with the more traditional attire of our main characters, and it just looks uneven. The film also has a sci-fi-esque quality to it, with the Land of Snow’s emphasis on technology, and it ... feels a little out of place in the world of Naruto. The presence of the camera crew also ruins a lot of the mood for me, turning dramatic moments into something bizarre. I know the main series always combines lightheartedness with deeper and more serious themes, but the film’s silly movie premise not only manages to make these two clash, but renders them ineffective as well.

I do, however, appreciate how experimental they are with some parts of this movie, even though it doesn’t work out that well and the main plot line is fairly uninspired and involves the usual story beats. It’s also interesting to experience a different location aside from the usual villages. Sakura does some fighting here, which is something I always look forward to, and Naruto, Sasuke, and Kakashi are their usual selves.

It’s not completely bad, but neither is it something I recommend.
