Created by the Daiei Motion Picture Company to rival Toho's successful string of monster films, the fire-breathing, jet-propelled giant turtle was a stretch from the outset. Even in his original film, the big fella was hardly a titan of the threatening sort (especially when he walked on his hind legs), and it wasn't long before the series was catering to an under-10 demographic far more explicitly than even the most juvenile of Godzilla entries.
