This movie really brings back memories of watching Naruto when I was in high school. I can’t believe it was released 16 years ago, yet the animation still holds up remarkably well to this day. It’s a bit disappointing that the movie isn’t canon to the main Naruto storyline, but I really enjoyed seeing Naruto team up with his father, the Fourth Hokage, Minato. It was also bittersweet when Minato erased Naruto’s memories to prevent the timeline from being altered. That’s just like the Fourth Hokage, always thinking several steps ahead and putting the future above his own feelings.
