20,000 Kaiju Under the Sea

***20,000 Kaiju Under the Sea*** is a stop-motion parody film adapting Jules Verne's novel *20,000 Leagues Under the Sea* and its 1954 film adaptation by Disney. It is KB Fan Fiction's 49th feature film.

## Plot

A mysterious submarine, the Gotengo, is sighted for the first time in 30 years after going missing in the North Pacific. In Tokyo, Professor Godzilla, his assistant Rodan and cocky harpooner Gigan sign up for an expedition to search for the Gotengo. After months of searching, the Gotengo is spotted and it appears to ram the monsters' warship, throwing Godzilla, Gigan and Rodan overboard. After drifting in the sea for seven days, they find themselves at the Gotengo's hatch. There, they are welcomed by Captain Ghidorah, the three-headed captain of the Gotengo. Godzilla, Gigan and Rodan sign themselves up as crew of the Gotengo, with Godzilla offering to become Ghidorah's first mate.

Ghidorah then gives the three monsters a guided tour around the Gotengo, and explains that this gigantic submarine is electrically-powered and can perform advanced marine biology research. Ghidorah then offers them a tour around the world's oceans, which Godzilla and Rodan gladly accept. They visit many places under the ocean, including the coral reefs of the Red Sea, the wrecks of the battle of Vigo Bay, the Antarctic ice shelves, the Transatlantic telegraph cable and the legendary submerged land of Atlantis. The travelers also use diving suits to visit Ghidorah's undersea farm and have an underwater funeral for a crew member who died mysteriously inside the Gotengo.

In Skull Island at the South Pacific, the Gotengo gets stranded on a reef. Gigan volunteers to inspect the damage, and later goes into the island to find some food. He eventually finds himself running for his life from a large group of cannibalistic apes on the island. Gigan eventually returns aboard the Gotengo, and Ghidorah keeps the apes at bay by activating electrical surges through the Gotengo's hull.

After exiting the Antarctic ice shelf, where Godzilla plants his flag on the South Pole, the Gotengo descends to the depths, attracting a giant squid which attacks the sub. After a similar electric charge fails to repel the squid, Ghidorah and his men surface during a storm to dislodge it. The Gotengo finally uses its drill bit to tear the squid into pieces after freezing it using its Absolute Zero Cannon. The monsters later cook and eat the squid chunks.

Eventually, the Gotengo reaches the North Atlantic, and Ghidorah and the crew discover that the Gotengo has wandered into the Moskenstraumen, more commonly known as the "Maelstrom". The Maelstrom then erupts into a waterspout which threw the Gotengo into the air. Ghidorah activates the Gotengo's rocket engines, making it fly until it lands in Norway. The monsters disembark and they are discovered by nearby travelers.
