Summary: If that is what you wish...
Review: Oh, my god, that Entei is so annoying! Every time he said, "If that is what you wish," or, "I am happy if you are happy," I wanted to scream! He did it so much, I eventually could just see it coming! Seriously, though, this is another great Pokemon movie. The single complaint I have is only that it seems to be a long, drawn-out episode. They probably could've fit this plot into a half-hour of the show, which is why there're so many action scenes in the movies. But I like this anyway. Team Rocket were in it again for no real reason at all...they're my favorite characters, and I hope they really do have a bigger part in the fourth movie! I also wish we'd have seen the "other" Rockets, Butch and Cassidy, show up in one of the films, but no such luck. Anyway, this story is very entertaining and does teach kids important lessons, like all of Pokemon does. I've got a few words to say to the arrogant review-writer named Rebecca. Most of us here are probably over 12 and like Pokemon. I am 14 and love it. I believe YOU need a brain-check, for there is nothing wrong with us, but with you. To move on, Pokemon 3 is about a little girl named Molly who loses her parents and wishes for new ones. The Unown, powerful little Pokemon that look like obscure letters, are able to turn anything in her imagination into reality. She wishes for a huge, impenetrable ice castle so she and her new parents (Ash's mom and the legendary fire dog Entei)can live in peace. But Ash comes to rescue his mom and to defeat the Unown so Molly can have her REAL parents back. The movie is very cool. The scene where Molly grows up and battles Brock and Misty is awesome. There are lots of new pokemon in it, like Mantine and Phanpy, which brings me to the cartoon: Pikachu & Pichu. It seems shorter than the first two, but it's better, in my opinion. Pikachu gets lost in the city and the two Pichu brothers help him get back. On the way they get chased by an adorable Houndour, one of my favorite new pokemon, who, like Team Rocket, turns out not to be so bad after all. He helps them save the junk structure that is the home of several pokemon, including Furret, Magby, Hitmontop, and Hoppip. If you have enjoyed the Pokemon of the past, you should like this movie.

Summary: Unkown.........
Review: This is by far the BEST pokemon movie but pikachu and pichu gets a little boring after watching it a few times. But i never get bored of the movie! After the mini movie the big movie starts by showing youa feild and a mansion when you enter the mansion you see a little girl(8 year old Molly Hale) and Her Papa(Spencer Hale)Spencer is reading a book to Molly "These are legendary pokemon" in the book theres pictures of Unkown(the pokemon Professer Hale is looking for) and Entei Molly's favorate pokemon she think Entei is big and strong but still nice like her papa so spencer pretends to be entei to make molly happy, but then spencer is called away to the site where he is reserching Unkown(the ruins of alph)when he finds a box that contains unkown tiles he picks up the "P" tile and an unknown apears behind him(he doesn't see it though then he pick up sevaral tiles and suddenly sevaral unknown start spinning around him and take them into there world as professer hale is falling deeper into the unkown world he shouts out "Its the...UNKOWN!"
when molly hears that her father is gone molly decides to find out what he was doing when he dissapeared and Molly finds the box of unkown tiles(they were brought to her house) when molly spells out mama and papa with the tiles the unkown apear! They sence molly is sad(she has now lost her papa And she allready lost her mama) and so they(the unknown) turn molly's mansion into a crystal palace that no one can get into (because molly does not want to lose anything else)but molly is still sad she picks up the book that her papa would always read to her before she went to bed, and hears her papa's voice "these are legendary pokemon" she starts to cry and remembers her papa say "I'm like Entei am I? well then I am Entei...raaaaarh" just then the unknown start spinning around each other and sing then they create a glowing orb that represents molly's imagination and then Entei is created molly gasps "are you..." and entei replys "i am entei" And molly stares for a moment and then says "papa its you! you look just like the entei from the storybook but its you!" she then runs over and hugs entei,Who replys "papa?....If that is what you wish." thats all i can tell you for now but what will the unknown do? is entei good or bad? will molly ever see her real papa ever again? buy this movie and find out!

Summary: Way Better Than Barney
Review: I'm a mom. I enjoy the warmth and humor shared between the Pokemon characters, and I admire the cartoon makers for their ingenuity. Most of all, I appreciate the values of friendship, kindness and responsibility that the Pokemon stories teach. There are no really bad guys in Pokemon movies-- just people or beings who aren't thinking clearly. And there are no hard feelings in the end. Everyone comes to an understanding. In this movie, little Molly has been motherless. Then she loses her father. So, feeling her world spinning out of control, she kidnaps a new mom and creates a powerful dad Pokemon and becomes extremely dominating. She is afraid of being hurt again, so she encapsulates her abode in spiky crystals. Excellent psychology! Yet in the end, she has to face reality and learn to cope as a lonely child, with the help of friends, of course. No fairy tale, happy-ever-after-with-the-prince endings. Pokemon movies give real lessons in living. I watched my child soaking in lessons about coping and also about having empathy for others.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: To know the Unown...
Review: This movie is the best Pokemon movie, after the first that is. I love both the soundtrack and the movie itself. I've watched it plenty of times, and still can't get enough of it!

Ash and friends arrive at what is supposed to be the most beautiful town anywhere, but are dissapointed to see a huge crystalized formation taking over a large mansion and moving towards the rest of the town. Ash must save a young girl who's unleashed the power of the Pokemon Unown. he must also find his way to where his mom has been taken inside the mansion. He battles a legendary Pokemon named Entei and travels through odd dimensions that are the dreams and wishes of the young girl, made real by the Unwon before he can rescue his mom and save the town.

I reccomend this movie to anyone, as it's a great family movie. I also think that the soundtrack should be purchased after seeing the movie so that you can hear the pop songs!

Summary: Wow They FINALLY Got The DVD Right Again!!!
Review: The first Pokemon movie DVD that came out was a great deal! Many intresting special features were included that made the price well worth it! However the Pokemon 2000 DVD was a joke. It lacked everything. The only thing you could really say for it was that it had the theatrical trailer (Sad huh?)! However I am pleased to say Warner has gotten this one right! We have the free trading card, a COMMENTARY, DVD-Rom features, and the best part (Or one of the best things to come out of edited anime DVD's that is) THE JAPANESE TRAILER FOR POKEMON 4!!!!!!! This makes me so happy to see that WB is making the Japanese stuff known (That, or mabye they were trying to save some money on making a trailer for the forth movie themselves. Sneaky.)!

However there are still some flaws even though they did MUCH better then last year! For one thing, there's no option for widescreen (Which dissapoints me GREATLY!). No Japanese audio track. They have the making of "To Know The Unknown" music video, but they don't have the ACTUAL music video on the disk! And the Johto Pokerap is TERRIBLE (Even though I already knew it was after listening to the CD)! I never dreamed I would miss the old Pokerap ao much. And the last problem is they still have the mini-movie there (WB, if I wanted to buy the mini-movies, I'LL BUY THE MINI-MOVIES!!!! You DON'T need to put them on the movie disks!).

But even so this is a great buy. A great movie. And a great addition for any Pokemon fan! Highly recomended!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: EXCELLENT MOVIE!
Review: You all will LOVE this Movie! I must say, WB did a good job with the "less advertising hype" this time around, as to avoid UNWANTED critic nagging. Anyway, the third Pokemon film is VERY cool! Let's have a look:

The OVA, "Pikachu And Pichu" is in short, another OVA with Pikachu and the other Pokemon who are Trained by Ash-tachi being left alone for a little while again. Only this time, Two Pichu Brother's moon and anger Pikachu, so he gets angry and chases after them. After he catches up to them, this silly OVA goes for a non-stop comedy spree! See it for yourself in a manner of Days...

The main Movie, "The Spell Of The Unown" is about a Professor named Professor Spencer Hale, whom has a 5 year old Daughter whom he raises by himself (his wife passed away)and cares about very much. As a Pokemon Researcher, hearing about ancient Pokemon Hieroglyphics is excting news for him! But when these Hieroglyphics turn out to be the Ancient and mysterious Pokemon, the Unown, they send him into another dimension. Alone and sad, with only the servants in her mansion and no family, his daughter Molly crys and Prays.(in the Japanese version, the DIRECT translation of Her Prayer is: "Please my sweet days, return to me!") She hopes Her Parents will return, but instead the Unown come, and THEY help Her! The Unown have the ability to turn Human thoughts and emotions into reality! Her whole mansion is turned into a Crystal Tower, and the Unown's Spell has the Legendary Fire Dog Pokemon Entei, be Her new Father, in place of Her missing one. In the meantime, the area, (in the Japanese version, it is called "Greenfield") Ash just finishes a tied up match with another Trainer, and is surprised to see His Mother and Prof. Oak there on vacation! Molly then decides Delia will be the PERFECT new Mom, and Entei kidnaps Her for Molly. Now Ash and His Friends must all confront Molly's imigination, Entei Himself, and the Unown, if Ash wishes to get His Mother back, otherwise HE WILL be an orphan missing His Parents!

Oh, WB is cheap and is behind by a few Episodes, so here is some differences You will see in the Movie, (when it ACTUALLY takes place, 6 Eps from Today) compared to where WB is rught now:

Ash's Squirtle has left. Ash has a Totodile. Ash has a Shiny Noctowl. Misty's Poliwag evolved into Poliwhirl.

Oh, and one more thing, your NOT seeing things, Charizard returns!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Outstanding!
Review: This movie was Awesome! I saw all the Movies in theatre but this one was my favorite. This movie, as with the other movies had a great message. This one says you're not alone no matter how lonely you feel and that people do care about you. It also says that if you believe in yourself then you will make it through the rough times. It shows tons of new Pokemon and the animation and script were incredible. This movie Rocks You just gotta' see it!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: It's good, but not great
Review: Pokemon 3 is about the Unknown who feel sorry for a little girl who lost her family and so she instead creates this fantasy world where the legendary pokemon Entei is her best friend. WHen she craves a mother she sends Entei out, ironically enough Entei captures Ash mother. Ash then must go in and stop Entei and save his mother.

This movie unfortunatly suffered the same curse as the first with the story. Only instead of the story being a little to cutsey it's almost to dark. The little girl loses her family, then kidnaps someone elses parent. The action is good but unfortunatly the story is once again weak.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Almost as good as the first
Review: In the third theatrical release of the Pokemon series, we are introduced to the "Unown" and their powers and abilities. This was almost as good as the first movie.

If you're unfamiliar with the basics, Pokemon (short for "POcKEt MONsters") are creatures a little like those from this world, but with strange and unusual powers and abilities that they use for their masters - masters that can be either good or evil. Ash and his friends train their Pokemon to fight battles with their enemies. They travel all over the planet to collect new and unusual types of Pokemon. They trap Pokemon in "Poke Balls" - a small device that hangs from a belt. When Ash's enemies release their Pokemon to do their work, Ash and his friends release their Pokemon, and they have a big battle.

The story revolves around Molly and her missing father. Molly's father had been involved in an archaeological expedition to find out more about the mysterious "Unown" - Pokemon that look like letters of the English alphabet. Molly's father accidentally falls victim to the Unown and his remaining work is shipped home. Molly finds the Unown blocks that her father unearthed and begins playing with them and accidentally activates their ancient powers. The Unown, sensing Molly's sadness, make Molly's dreams come true - her home becomes a crystal palace and they create a father figure for her - the enigmatic Entei, a lion-like Pokemon. As Molly's fantasy life becomes more real to her, the area that is affected by the conversion process started by the Unown grows. Soon it begins to threaten to engulf populated areas. Of course, Ash and company are nearby to help. Meanwhile, Molly expresses her desire to have a mother. Mysteriously, Entei responds by capturing Ash's mother and bringing her to the fantasy palace. Ash, along with his friends and Team Rocket (again) must stop the Unown and Entei before Molly's dreams become all too real.

This story is a fine addition to the Pokemon franchise. Its timeless story of what a little girl really wants if separated from her mother and father can foster discussions between parents and children. Molly, of course, finally understands what is important and the world returns to normal. This is possibly the most well done of the movies, although I liked the story and secondary plots of the first movie a little better. The art is top notch Anime at close to greatness, and the story finale with Molly making the final decisions, is not understated nor overstated.

There's also a Pikachu cartoon that younger fans of the TV show will enjoy.

Almost as highly recommended as the first Pokemon film, this deserves a place in a lot of home libraries and some school and counselor's (child psychologist's) collections.
