Naruto movies aren't cannon, correct?

I hope not. I've heard some really disappointing info about the most recent movie and I hope it doesn't affect the actual manga/anime... So, do the movies affect the actual storyline?

Nope, Kishi is just putting some creativty into this one since it is the last. Look at Blood Prison I liked it but it does not make a tiny bit of sense, Naruto knows Bee in it yet in the Manga timeline he meets Bee and then trains so he doesn't see his friends until the war is already raging.

well, since Kishi is doing this, it is considered cannon. unless the movie doesnt fit in with the timeline, then its same to assume it is

The movie by Kishi is a "what if" scenario, so not canon but has canonical things inside at the same time, so semi-canon if you will.
Also incorrect that only the manga is canon, databooks and shit as well

Movies are only canon to the animated series. I view the Anime and the Manga as two separate Dimensions. Except for Road to Ninja which might play into the manga in some form. MIGHT. I actually read that it would expand on the story rather than add to it.

But its irrelevant what is canon and what isn't. Its all just entertainment. It is canon if you want it to be. If you don't like the movies just don't watch them. I skip episodes I don't like.

While the movies and fillers don't matter to the plot I feel weird not watching them all. I'm very odd when it comes to anime lol
