Sailor Moon S: The Movie[a] is a 1994 Japanese animated superhero fantasy film directed by Hiroki Shibata and written by Sukehiro Tomita based on the Sailor Moon manga series by Naoko Takeuchi. Produced by Toei Animation, it takes its name from the third season of the anime series, as Toei Company distributed it around the same time, and the second film installment for the series, following Sailor Moon R: The Movie (1993). Loosely adapting The Lover of Princess Kaguya side story from the manga, it centers the Sailor Guardians stopping the invasion of the snow queen named Kaguya, while Luna falls in love with a human astronomer named Kakeru. The film stars Kotono Mitsuishi as the voice of Sailor Moon, alongside Aya Hisakawa, Michie Tomizawa, Emi Shinohara, Rika Fukami, Megumi Ogata, Masako Katsuki, Chiyoko Kawashima, Keiko Han, Kae Araki and Tōru Furuya. It was released in Japan on December 4, 1994, as part of the Winter '94 Toei Anime Fair.
