Did You Know?

Edit
Trivia This movie is based on a very popular manga in Japan. One of the possible reasons for its popularity might be that in Japan many children grow up being "fans" of insects in the same way that some kids are "fans" of dinosaurs. A lot of Japanese kids have a deep knowledge about different kinds of bugs. See more »
Goofs The film features real-time conversations between the Earth and the expedition on Mars. This is not possible as it takes roughly 5-20 minutes for a radio signal to transit between the Earth and Mars. See more »
