Naruto the Movie: Ninja Clash in the Land of Snow (劇場版  大活劇! 雪姫忍法帖だってばよ!!, Gekijō-ban Naruto: Daikatsugeki! Yukihime Ninpōchō Dattebayo!!, lit. "Theatrical Feature Naruto: Great Action Scene! Snow Princess' Book of Ninja Arts") is a 2004 Japanese animated action fantasy film based on Masashi Kishimoto's manga and anime Naruto. It was released in Japan on August 21, 2004. The popularity of the series has spawned several sequels, beginning with Naruto the Movie: Legend of the Stone of Gelel. The film is set after episode 100. In the United States, the film aired on Cartoon Network on September 8, 2007. The ending song Home Sweet Home is performed by Yuki Isoya. The English adaptation replaced the song with Jeremy Sweet's "Never Give Up", due to licensing restrictions. The narrative focuses on the young Naruto Uzumaki and his ninja team as they work on a bodyguard mission to protect Princess Yukie Fujikaze who is posing as a film actress.
An original video animation, Konoha Annual Sports Festival (木ノ葉運動会 Konoha Undōkai), was included with the Japanese release of the film. The film grossed US$11.1 million in the box offices and received generally good response by critics for the focus on the scenario and animation despite the Yukie often being seen as the least interesting character presented.
