Okay I know this movie was meant to be a remake of the first Pokemon movie (Pokemon the first movie) but this isn't a remake at best it's a remaster and at best is being generous as the animation style used lacks any unique style, originality or creativeness it's just bland plastic looking CGI that most cheap modern animated movies suffer from the original movie while very cheesy and having some laughably bad dialogue in it was very well animated and kept the style of the original Pokemon cartoon series which was instantly recognisable to fans of the series and captured the imagination of the world of Pokemon.
This movie is an exact shot for shot "remake" of the original Pokemon movie that's not being exaggerated it is exactly the same if you kept just the picture for this movie playing while you had just the sound playing from the original movie it would match perfectly scene for scene a good example would be like comparing the original Pokemon Red (1996) on the Gameboy Colour with the remastered version Pokemon Fire Red (2004) on Gameboy Advance they are almost the exact same just a few very minor changes like colour quality and updated Pokemon designs but that's about it.
If you were looking for an exact shot for shot remake of the first Pokemon movie then you will enjoy this movie it's so exact even fans can't say they didn't follow the original movies source material because it essentially is the source material.
This movie may be ok for a completely new generation of Pokemon fans but for anyone who has seen or owns the original movie don't waste your time unless you really really wanna own everything Pokemon related.
