Pokemon the Movie 2000 kicks off with "Pikachu's Rescue Adventure",
which involves Pikachu saving an enchanted Pokemon forest from a raging storm.
The main feature, however, deals with the three legendary Pokemon -- Articuno
(god of ice), Moltres (god of fire), and Zapdos
(god of lightning). These three mythical creatures have been awakened
and angered by an obssessed collector. Legend has it that when disturbed, the
three would wreak havoc amongst themselves and eventually destroy everything
in their paths.
To keep the worst case scenario from happening, the final god who dwells
underneath the ocean must work with "the chosen one" in putting order back to
nature.
Pokemon: The Movie 2000 Anime Review
Pokemon the Movie 2000 is only the second Pokemon movie I've seen, but already
it did not have enough charm or novelty to hold my interest for very long.
This time, Ash and the gang are dealing with some legendary Pokemon, which in
all actuality just seem like outrageously overpowered birdies on a rampage.
Ash goes through the whole hero-with-a-mission drill, with everybody cheering
him on as usual, and everything is okay again by the end of the movie. So what
else is new? I dozed off a couple of times while viewing Pokemon the Movie 2000, only to
awaken after a while and discover that I hadn't really missed anything
special.
The opening feature, "Pikachu's Rescue Adventure", can be summed up in
one sentence -- Pikachu saves a whole forest full of Pokemon from a storm.
That's great -- if you like Pikachu, and if you actually like watching a
gazillion different Pokemon anime do their thing
(which consists mostly of trying their darnedest to be cute).
The art and animation are okay, and not unlike the TV series, only touched up
by a bit of computer imagery. It's not a bad movie overall, but it's also
about as exciting as going to bed early. The TV series is more fun and
entertaining any day.

At least Pokemon 2000 wholesome enough for kids to enjoy.
