Naruto the Movie 3: The Animal Riot of Crescent Moon
Island
The third Naruto movie to be released in theaters was announced on
August 6th, 2005 at the premiere of the second Naruto movie. This
third movie, Naruto the Movie 3, opens on August 5th, 2006 in
theaters across Japan and will feature many of the most popular
characters from the series, with some new summer clothing. If this
movie were to take place during the anime series timeline (which
differs greatly from the manga series timeline) it would have taken
place between part 1 and 2 of the series, after the Sasuke
Retrieval Arc and sometime before the end of part 1 of the
series.
It has been announced that this will be the very last Naruto movie
in part 1 of the anime. As a promotional item, the first 100,000
Naruto fans to watch the movie at select theaters through-out the
country will receive a high quality Naruto yo-yo (dubbed a Datteba
yo-yo), with a picture of Naruto that when spun, special LED lights
inside will light up, making it appear as a rasengan with colors
that change while spinning.

Uzumaki Naruto, Hatake Kakashi, Haruno Sakura, and Rock Lee are
sent to protect a prince during his trip around the world and see
that he returns safely to his home in the Moon Country. The Moon
Country happens to be really rich and as such the Prince tends to
buy anything his heart desires. During his travels the Prince comes
across a circus group that features a rare Sabre-toothed tiger that
he just has to have, so he purchases the entire group. Suddenly a
mission to protect the prince that hardly listens to anything said,
turns into a mission to look after animals and a prince that
doesn't listen to what they say, and in the end somehow get them
all back safely to their home country. All the while there are
three mysterious Ninja wielding some frightening jutsu waiting for
them.
