If you loved Pokémon: The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon, try Pokémon: Mewtwo Returns
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 Masamitsu Hidaka, and they both carry the cozy, foreign gem, late night mood tags, and they sit in Action / Adventure / Animation territory. If that's the register that drew you to Pokémon: The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Pokémon: Mewtwo Returns is
Some cloned Pokémon need a reason to exist, somehow forgetting the first rule of villainy is never to kidnap the help. Ash and crew get caught in Giovanni’s attempt to reclaim Mewtwo, only to learn the cyborg psychic prefers existential debates over smashing cities. A family film that forgets it’s animating kaiju soul-searching.
