What happens

Gamera the Brave (小さき勇者たち〜ガメラ〜, Chiisaki Yūsha-tachi Gamera; lit. 'Little Heroes: Gamera') is a 2006 Japanese kaiju film directed by Ryuta Tasaki, written by Yukari Tatsui, and produced by Kadokawa Daiei Studio. It is the twelfth and latest installment in the Gamera film series, and serves as the second reboot of the franchise, with the first being Gamera: Guardian of the Universe in 1995 (which was distributed by Toho), as well as the final installment of the Heisei-era Gamera film series. It is also the first entry in the series to be produced by Kadokawa Daiei Studio after the company purchased a percentage of the remaining assets of Daiei Film, the original studio that was responsible for making the Gamera films. Gamera the Brave stars Ryo Tomioka, Kanji Tsuda, Kaho, and Susumu Terajima, and features Toshinori Sasaki as Toto, the newly hatched Gamera. The film was released theatrically in Japan on April 29, 2006, and was distributed by Shochiku. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
