The Pokémon anime series first aired in Japan, laying the foundation for the Pokémon franchise's popularity worldwide.
The original Pokémon movie featuring Mewtwo was released in Japan, introducing the story that would later be remade as 'Mewtwo Strikes Back - Evolution'.
The CGI remake of the original film was released in Japanese theaters, bringing a new visual style to the classic story.
The film was made available to international audiences through various platforms and screenings.
I need to rewatch this and see if it moves from a like to a favorite for me. I forget about it, see it mentioned, and remember that it was way better than I thought it was going to be. This is a great one to watch if you haven't yet.
Finally got to see this in theaters - it's a lovely movie. One of the higher quality family-friendly sci fi movies in a LONG time. The part I liked least about the book was the humor - movie was the same. Which speaks to how good the adaptation was.
This is the best action movie of all time!
