The biggest offence of this 2013 release is how it passed on the opportunity to make this Mewtwo the same one that starred in The First Movie (1998). It’s repetitive too, flipping from one battle between Mewtwo and Genesect to another, to another and to another before the film is over. That’s where the praise ends however…Īs a product of the Pokémon cycle, Genesect and the Legend Awakened feels almost entirely inconsequential, from its cliché-riddled plot to its shallow exploration of what it means to be a man-made sentient being. Namely, the animation is a standout, and there are a number of slow-motion Mewtwo scenes that are worth the admission alone for long-standing fans of the Pokémon universe. Pokémon the Movie: Genesect and the Legend Awakened may be last in this list, but like any Pokémon movie it still has some positives. In this edition of Ranked, we here at The Film Magazine have judged each of the Pokémon franchise’s 23 feature length anime films and judged each in terms of quality, significance, lore-building, public perception and critical reception to offer you: Pokémon Anime Movies RankedĢ4. It seems, even 24 movies into its big screen existence, there remains something eternally endearing about 10-year-old Ash Ketchum and his loveable Pikachu. These films are hardly the pinnacle of cinema, ranging from good to outright terrible, nor are they at the consistent quality of other anime studios such as Studio Ghibli, yet fans continue to return to the series. In fact, since 1998, Pokémon has released a feature length anime movie annually.
In 2019, the pocket monsters made their way to Hollywood with the first live-action Pokémon movie, the moderately successful Detective Pikachu, but this wasn’t this media powerhouse’s first foray into theatres. This isn’t to mention the Pokémon branded aircraft. Originally a video game released on Nintendo’s handheld console the Game Boy, Pokémon has since spawned a hit anime series, a school playground-infiltrating trading card game, toys of all shapes and forms, and even food.
In 2021, Pokémon is the highest grossing media franchise of all time – bigger than Harry Potter, bigger than Star Wars, and even bigger than Marvel. To say these internationally beloved creatures have had a successful run would be an understatement. The adding of very subtle freckles is something we found was very successful-it also helped with it looking a bit more cute.It has been a quarter of a century since Pokémon first emerged onto the world stage. So you constantly look for little tiny things that have a high level of detail that can counterbalance that very simplistic overall silhouette.
POKEMON SCENERY MOVIE SERIES
His shape is so so simple: It’s a series of balls and very simple shapes. We had to find all of these evocative textures that just felt childlike. His gloves are the inflatable gloves you’d get at a fair. His joints are those dodge balls we used to play with when we were kids. We settled on the idea that every surface needed to feel like a toy.
We had to figure out what aspects we could push and pull. Nordby: When you look at the character, it instantly feels creepy. Mime, we asked the Pokémon Company, “What is he?” They went: We don’t know.” They were actually trying to dissuade us from using him, because they weren’t sure what he was or whether he’d work well on screen.
