If you loved Pokémon: Giratina and the Sky Warrior, try Pokémon: The Rise of Darkrai

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: Giratina and the Sky Warrior, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Pokémon: The Rise of Darkrai is

Nestled in rural tranquility, the village’s calm hides a pocket universe of impending cosmic kerfuffle. Traveling trainers find time itself bending when a shadowy stranger named Darkrai drifts into town with two ticking time-bomb deities in hot pursuit. Perfect antidote for anyone who’s ever worried their vacation photos might warp reality.
