Factual errors:
When Ash is trying to save Pikachu from one of Mewtwo's poke balls; he chews the metal arms that grab him. His teeth would have been broken.

User Review
Such a shame that so many slander a good film
Rating: 10/10
Looking at the overwhelming number of people who gave a 1 to this film, it
makes me conclude that this is strictly because of the fact that so many
people just gave the film a 1 because it is pokemon without even seeing it.
The movie is cute and charming and brought so much enjoyment to the young
children who are fans of the film. Even teenages, parents and adults have
thought the film is adorable. Sure the plot is no oscar worthy submission
but it happens to be a decent story line for children of all
ages.
Maybe if you were all less preoccupied with giving louzy ratings to decent
films, imdb would be much more accurate.
