If you loved Pokémon the Movie: Genesect and the Legend Awakened, try Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea

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 Action / Adventure / Animation / Family territory. If that's the register that drew you to Pokémon the Movie: Genesect and the Legend Awakened, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

Apparently someone thought kids needed more Pokémon. Ash and friends meet a Pokémon Ranger tasked with delivering Manaphy's egg to an underwater temple. It's a predictable battle between good and a greedy pirate.
