The Complete Guide to Naruto Movies in Order
At SukinaAnime.in, we know that navigating a massive franchise can be difficult. Therefore, we created this guide to help you watch Naruto movies in order. While most of these films are side stories, they feature incredible animation and unique adventures. This list covers the original series, Shippuden, and the transition to the next generation.
The Original Naruto Series (Part 1)
Before Naruto grew into a teenager, he went on three major cinematic missions. To enjoy the story naturally, you should watch them in the following sequence:

Legend of the Stone of Gelel (Watch after Episode 160).
Guardians of the Crescent Moon Kingdom (Watch after Episode 196).

Essential Japanese Movie Terms
To truly understand the “spirit” of Japanese cinema, you should know these key words. First, the word for movie is Eiga (映画). When you visit an Eigakan (映画館) or movie theater in Japan, you will see posters for these hits. Furthermore, a sequel is called a Zokuhen (続編). Knowing these terms helps you navigate Japanese websites and official fan pages easily.
Which Naruto Movies are Canon?
Most of these films are “filler,” meaning they do not affect the main plot. However, The Last: Naruto the Movie is officially canon. It tells the essential story of how Naruto and Hinata fell in love. Furthermore, Boruto: Naruto the Movie serves as the bridge to the sequel series. If you are a completionist, you should not skip these two.
