You've got this inventor family trying to keep their giant monster, Daigoro, from shrinking by finding funds for his food. The pacing is a bit all over the place, but that just adds to its quirky charm. And then there's Goliath, a meteorite monster that crashes into the sea; it's all about the classic struggle between these two titans. The practical effects, while not groundbreaking, have this rawness that really gives it character. It’s a fun ride, with moments that are as silly as they are heartwarming.

'Daigoro vs. Goliath' is a bit elusive in terms of physical formats, with the VHS copies being the most common but still not easy to come by.
