This is an animated short that came with the Lost Tower film. It’s an animated short so…it’s pretty short. Likewise, this review will be pretty short and while this was a pretty fun special, there wasn’t that much action. Could it still be a great short or will the lack of action hurt it in the end?

Naruto and friends find a lamp that contains a magical Genie in it while they are at a beach party. They won’t want to talk to the other teams and I really can’t blame them since the other teams can be pretty sad in comparison. They’re good characters, but not very good conversationalists. After Naruto wastes the first two wishes, all of the fighters decide that they need the final wish and they will do whatever is necessary to get it granted!

After watching such an intense film of Naruto, it was a little hard to take this one seriously. The Genie is pretty unlikable, but I do like the fact that he enjoys messing with Naruto and friends. Naruto and Sasuke also take Kakashi’s disappearance in stride and proceed to get the beef ready to be cooked. That last part makes more sense while you are watching the short.

Well, it was a pretty fun special. Naruto and friends all went after the lamp and this lead to some pretty intense scenes with the soundtrack and Sasuke dominating as per usual. The ending is pretty predictable, but still epic since one of the characters trolls everyone. I’m pretty sure that he did it intentionally and that just makes things even cooler. I’d recommend it to Naruto fans and to everyone else..you’ll still enjoy it, but you won’t get quite as much out of it. It would be an interesting way to start on the Naruto franchise though, so be my guest! This is easily one of my shortest reviews, but there really wasn’t much to say about the short. It was just way….too short!!!!!!

Overall 6/10
