If you loved Pokémon: Destiny Deoxys, try Pokémon: Lucario and the Mystery of Mew

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Kunihiko Yuyama, and they both carry the cozy, playful mood tags, and they sit in Adventure / Animation / Family / Fantasy territory. If that's the register that drew you to Pokémon: Destiny Deoxys, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Pokémon: Lucario and the Mystery of Mew is

Even Pokémon movies know they’re not Shakespeare. A blinded Lucario must guide two warring factions toward peace before a massacre begins. The film settles for cuteness over stakes, which is fine if cuddles were the objective.
