So much resemblance to Naruto, I'm starting to think that Kishimoto was inspired to create Naruto from this movie because there are lots of similarities,
Sasuke Sarutobi = Hiruzen'rs grandfather (or was his father?)
The evil witch = Orochimaru
The old guy who taught our hero magic = Jiraya
Sasuke goes to train away from home for 3 years, = The same as naruto did
That pretty much use hand signs to perform magic, = much like ninjutsu
That chubby villain called Kokoro = much like kankuro
and the list goes long
Honestly, I had 0 expectations for this movie, In fact, I was just bored and pressed the 'Random' button on the home page and it recommended this to me out of the blue, I just started watching, and in the middle of the movie I realized I was enjoying it, The art and music selection was the most thing I admire, anyway, I give this movie like 8/10, better than most modern movies
