Pokémon the Movie: Secrets of the Jungle

Ten years ago, a mythical Pokémon known as a Zarude finds a baby boy abandoned in the forest of Okoya, which is near Lilliput Town, and leaves his tribe to raise him and find his birth parents, naming him Koko. In the present day, Koko is a feral boy who lives in the jungle, having nicknamed his caretaker Dada, as the two would have a fateful encounter with Ash and Pikachu, and the four are forced to team up with an evil doctor attacks the Great Tree. Yeah, this Pokémon movie is mostly inspired by Tarzan, but it manages to be its own thing as well. While it does deal with a human raised by a ape (that is, the ape being a Zarude, a new Pokémon introduced in this movie and added to the games as a mythical, which are only given out during certain events), it has plenty of heart-warming moments, as well as action, and a good moral about unity. The characters are all done well, and the villain is the best of the new characters. If you are a Pokemaniac or have kids, this one is worth checking out.

This was super enjoyable, and I quite honestly think it was the best Pokemon movie since the original. That's not always saying a whole lot, as there have been a fair share of clunkers in that two-decade long bunch, but this is a film that is enjoyable for kids and adults alike. It is very reminiscent of the original Avatar film, and that's definitely not a bad thing. Whether you're into Pokemon or not, I think this is a quality animated film.

It's a really good movie. Fight scenes are awesome. Probably the best pokemon movie as of now. I strongly recommend watching it😀. It's the best movie ever(bme) My favorite movie.

I can't help but feel as though Pokémon has embraced that much of their audience are teenagers or even young adults. I had grown so used to cliche 4/10 - 5/10 quality films I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. In the past it felt as though writing "Pokémon" on the cover was enough to turn a profit. Now, the films have genuinely good content and not just the brand name. This movie has a good plot, while admittedly not thoroughly original it is paced and written well. The action sequences were fun while still holding true to the cute nature of Pokémon we all know and love. This is a whole hearted good film that many age groups can enjoy, not just children looking for colorful animations. 8/10.
