Latios and Latias are linked to an elaborate, computer-generated mechanism that defends the city, controls the tides and brings fossil Pokémon back to life. Ash and Pikachu foil the evil plan with some help from Misty, Brock, and Bianca, a girl who lives in Altomare with her kindly grandfather. The contrived story suggests that as far as features are concerned, the Pokémon franchise has pretty much run dry. (The film earned less than $1 million in its U.S. theatrical release.) Extras include a Camp Pikachu short and a Pokémon Heroes trivia game. (Rated G, all ages: minor cartoon violence) --Charles Solomon

    At 71 minutes, Pokémon Heroes is the shortest Pokémon movie yet. This movie continues along the concept of the original movies: to further the sales of the games by expanding upon their concepts. This movie is very good, due to the well-structured plot, the characters, the...( read more) pokémon and the setting, which is based on Venice. Overall, a good movie for Pokémon fans or just for people who like animated children's films.
