I thought they were the same thing. They did one way before with lara croft and moon knight or is that one companion?

Son of Kong (1933) Cheap, quick sequel. It had been probably 25 years since I last saw it. Some fun stop-motion, not much else to enjoy.

How to Train Your Dragon (2010) Pretty solid. Not many kids' films have the guts to seriously injure their main character.

Their voices aren't as strong, but if you want a cool experience, the animated Batman 1966 movies are kinda fun. Shatner plays Two-Face against Adam West's Batman.
I prefer 20000 Leagues, too, but old book illustrations are often remarkable.

I've wondered if it was that in the case of the Mummy's Tomb, or if they wanted to go cheaper by moving it into modern day, yet still wanted some continuity.
I've always liked the idea of the animated Batman 66 movies, but I somehow have never gotten around to watching them.
Agreed on the old book illustrations, they can be fantastic.

I've started watching for pre-fame Nick Nolte whenever I watch 70s TV shows. A couple weeks ago, he was on Gunsmoke on METV, then he showed up on an episode of Emergency! on DVD.

It was definitely intended to be at least the last before a much longer break. Toho was going to sit back while TriStar made their their "Godzilla" films. (I think originally there may have been a 3 film deal in place). Then TriStar Godzilla ended up being an insult to the Godzilla character, so Toho started making their own films again beginning with Godzilla 2000 in 1999.

In some respects, Godzilla vs Destoroyah could still be considered the last real Godzilla movie because it was the last one Tomoyuki Tanaka was involved in before his death in 1997, and the last one Akira Ifukube scored, though his Godzilla themes and roar are still used today.
(Tanaka was basically Godzilla's Cubby Broccoli or George Lucas, and Ifukube was to Godzilla what John Williams is to Star Wars or Indiana Jones)
