#WATCH POKEMON THE FIRST MOVIE REDDIT TV#
Much of it looks more polished than that of the TV series, which would obviously have a smaller budget. Other than that, the animation looks great. Not exactly sure why it was listed because there wasn't a scene of live-action unless accounting for one scene with realistic looking clouds. One thing that doesn't make sense in this film is that cinematography was credited to Hisao Shirai. Too bad he didn't do much else other than this. Mewtwo would later receive a short explaining more on his backstory with Goede reprising the role. Jay Goede as Mewtwo although short-lived in his role definitely made the character sound unique enough. As always Veronica Taylor, Rachael Lillis and Eric Stuart as the main protagonist and antagonists are the best choices for these roles. All voice actors involved with this production perform well and do what is required to make it sound more connected to the TV show. It's inside humor that is realized over time that can make the movie all the more enjoyable to revisit in later years. Surprisingly there are a number of scenes that involve dialog that probably viewers of younger ages wouldn't understand, but now is more clever or funny sounding.

For fans however, seeing this was a big deal and looking back on it now can be a nostalgic journey. So if a viewer has never watched the show, they won't be as engrossed as other fans because they never met Ash and company or anyone else. This did not initiate pokemon so in order to understand the movie one had to watch the show. The other problem to this film is for people who are not familiar with pokemon. Sometimes there were times where things weren't as plausible as portrayed. So the point was what again? Another odd tidbit was various circumstances various characters had to endure. Yet this is a complete contradiction to the whole essence of pokemon because majority of the way fans play the games is by having their partners fight in battle. The overall moral to the story ends up being stated that "fighting/violence is wrong". Yet this is one of the film's major flaws. As to how that would've gotten worked into the western version of the script is up for debate but apparently the idea of making Mew's clone a tyrant was easier. Instead of being hell-bent on conquering the world because of mistreatment, Mewtwo was a pokemon who sought to prove itself to others. Shudo's screenplay had painted Mewtwo in a much more innocent depiction. Like many foreign movies, scripts get lost in translation and that's what happened here. Grossfeld and John Touhey, the script is okay but does have its problems. Originally written by Takeshi Shudo and adapted by Michael Haigney, Norman J. Tagging along is the infamous Team Rocket still looking to capture Ash's Pikachu (Ikue Ôtani). That is until they are invited to New Island to meet the best pokemon master (Mewtwo) but they don't know this. It is with that viewers are switched over to Ash (Veronica Taylor), Misty (Rachael Lillis) and Brock (Eric Stuart) doing what they do in every episode.

After being informed his usefulness will only be for his extensive strength, Mewtwo becomes angry and declares world domination over humans and the pokemon who follow them. Confused and frustrated with his placement, he learns that he is a clone of mythical pokemon Mew but more powerful. Picking up close after the first TV season, the film starts with an introduction to Mewtwo (Jay Goede), the 151rst-pokemon waking up from his initial cloning. Revisiting it again was definitely a nice little trip down memory lane but it does have a few things that should be recognize that needed fixing. Nobody knew what to expect and people were psyched to see what happened. But when the trailer made it clear that Ash would be coming in contact with the last Pokemon of the official list, it drove people nuts. When it started, Pokemon was all about catching the total 150 types throughout its world. In retrospect, it might have been bigger than today's excitement. However before this, Pokemon boomed with success even with its first theatrical film. On top of that, with augmented reality becoming more and more prominent in today's culture, smart phone app Pokemon GO further cemented its craze among fans. All this based on the catch phrase "Gotta catch 'em all!". has captured the imaginations of people of all ages. With TV show seasons far longer than many others, the adventures of Ash Ketchum and co. Since its introduction to the world, Pokemon is one of the most recognizable and popular animes to ever exist.
