WARNER HOME VIDEO Pokemon 3: The Movie [2001]
The most elaborate of the features to date, <I>Pokémon 3: Spell of the Unown</I> introduces new Pokémon that debuted in the fall of 2000 in the <I>Gold</I> and <I>Silver</I>-edit ion Game Boy games. En route to the Johto Tournament, Ash, Brock and Misty visit the mountain village of Greenfield, where they encounter an 8-year-old girl named Molly. Her father, Professor Spencer Hale, disappeared when he set off to study the Unown, a group of 26 Pokémon that resemble letters. The Unown build a baroque crystalline shell around Molly's palatial home, send the leonine Entei to watch over her and grant whatever she wishes--except the return of her father. What Molly really wants is a family: she refers to Entei as her father and has him kidnap Ash's mum to be her mother. Ash charges to the rescue with the help of Pikachu, Charizard and Cyndaquil. In the climactic battle, Ash is joined by Brock and Misty, as well as the usually villainous Team Rocket. (We figure if we don't help you, we're outta showbiz, Meowth explains.) Molly's father eventually reappears, but the viewer never sees the reunion with his daughter. Ash, Molly and the other two-dimensional characters simply don't fit into three-dimensional, computer-generated crystal settings, and large sections of <I>Pokémon 3</I> look like two films unsuccessfully spliced together. --<I>Charles Solomon, Amazon.com.</I>
