April 29, 1964 –

The Toho Studios released their first cross-over monster movie Mosura tai Gojira (Godzilla vs. the Thing (Mothra)) in Japan on this date. This is the first Godzilla film without newly-shot American footage added for the American release.
This film marked one of the few instances in which Eiji Tsuburaya had to work at the opposite scale from his usual miniatures, instead creating giant furniture props for the fairies to inhabit.
