User blog comment:Tacozilla99/Which is the best out of the rebirth of mothra trilogy: Rebirth of Mothra, Rebirth of mothra 2 or Rebirth of mothra 3/@comment-25285745-20160131152053

Honestly, my favorite is the first Rebirth of Mothra. The story doesn't blatantly pander to children, the human characters are likable, there actually is some kind of message that isn't handled terribly, the battles are fantastic, the soundtrack is great, etc. I used to think Rebirth of Mothra was a campy kid's film, but that was only when I watched the dub years ago. After watching it in Japanese, I realized it was much better than I thought and the dub was responsible for me feeling like I did.

The highlight of the film for me is still the scene where Mothra dies. It seriously is the saddest kaiju death ever, and that's saying a lot. From the music to Leo's attempts to save his mother, the entire scene is wonderfully executed and just heartbreaking.
