It still lacks the cinematic style from the first, however it is a definite improvement from its predecessor. As always, this is slightly biased as I am a massive fan of the franchise. A young girl who's father mysteriously disappears is left alone and sad. Through her sorrow, the mysterious Unown feed off of this and grant her the ability to create a dream reality where she can find happiness, but at a cost of destroying the world. Instantaneously you are thinking "well that just sounds like the fable 'The Snow Queen'", to which you are right. Substitute a snow castle for a crystal palace, add in Pokémon and surreal dream manipulation and you are in for an imaginative adventure. The reason why I like this instalment the most is because it has a story that feels complete. It's creativity and rapid runtime (way too short in my opinion) makes for an emotional plot that revolves around the fear of loneliness. In order to keep this consistent with the franchise, we have energetic Pokémon battles embedded within the narrative, a corny pop song for the introductory credits (I just despise them...) and a child-friendly message about friends and family. Plenty of battles in this entry, the most in the trilogy, and all of them feel electrifying as the monsters fight to the sound of pounding electronic pop music. The final showdown between Charizard and Entei was well animated and chaotic. The sweetness and innocence that exhumes from Molly was a nice addition, and the dream worlds she creates looked creative. The animation of the Unown to make them look 3D was terrible, I hate it when animation includes 3D textures on a 2D background. The plot structure does start to become formulaic, and after this entry the future of the series continues the trend of utilising a legendary Pokémon as the pivotal plot point of a story. Overall, this third instalment rounds off the original trilogy in an creative and emotional way.

I myself am not that big of a Pokemon fan. And it's not because I'm like all the other people who say it's juvenile. In fact, I'm not entirely sure WHY I don't like Pokemon. It probably has something to do with me growing up with SpongeBob and Mario and preferring things like comedy and kart racers over anime and RPGs. But really, this film has a touching storyline.A little girl's father is taken by a group of Pokemon called the Unown. Feeling lonely, the Unown create an Entei to serve as her father. However, this does not make her completely happy, and her desire for joy winds up being a pain for the rest of the world.I can barely remember the movie, but I do remember loving it. Even if you despise Pokemon, you'll like it (maybe). It has a good moral and beautiful animation. If you like Pokemon, anime, or are just looking for a heartwarming tale, then this is the film for you. I give it 7 out of 10, with the other 3 points being tacked for the short length and cheesy lines.

How did this get a low score this movie was so good, the only reason it gets minus a point because its pokemon.This movie was so amazing. There is nothing better than a talking giant dog making a girl a god.There seriously isn't anything better.Ash can get annoying because of his stupid little voice but thats it. Even pikachu and pichu short was good. This one had a great plot, unlike the first. I watched this movie like 10 times when i was a kid. I suggest watching this and the second movie then the anime first series. Nothing besides that.THE BEST POKEMON MOVIE, ONE OF THE BEST ANIME OVAS.

Wow. I don't even really remember that much about this movie, except that it stunk.The plot's basically; a girl's parents neglect her, so this sicko PokeMon pretends to be her dad. Am I the only one disturbed by that? Then, this weirdo PokeMon kidnaps Ash's mom to pretend to be the girl's. I don't care if he was trying to make the girl happy, that's just gross.There was no real plot. The girl was just a whiny brat who wanted things her own way. She played with Unowns, was the "daughter" of Entei and apparently could grow and shrink in age on a whim with the help of her "dad".That's pretty much all I can remember, but I think you can take it as a hint, and not see it. (Or if you do see it, don't expect much.) 1 out of 10.Seriously. If you want a PokeMon movie, rent "PokeMon; the First Movie".
