Summary: The first film for the Pokemon franchise
Comment: This DVD includes Pokemon The First Movie, as well as the short "Pikachu's Vacation."
"Pikachu's Vacation" tells the story of Ash, Misty, and Brock's Pokemon going to a vacation spot specifically for Pokemon. Over the duration of the 20-minute short, they have a run-in with border-ruffian Pokemon, and hilarity ensues.
The film itself tells the story of Mewtwo, a Pokemon created from DNA of Mew (a Legendary Pokemon). After feeling betrayed by humans, Mewtwo creates a group of cloned Pokemon, which Mewtwo intends to use to eradicate humans and their Pokemon. He then would repopulate the world with his clone Pokemon. It's up to Ash and friends to save the day.
The DVD contains a few bonus features. First, there's one labeled "Behind-the-Scenes," which is just twelve pages of text that explain the origins of Pokemon in Japan and the United States, as well as explains the concept behind Pokemon.
There is also a version of the film on the DVD that contains commentary form Michael Haigney (the director) and Norman J. Grossfield (the producer).
The music video for M2M's "Don't Say You Love Me" is also a bonus feature (this was promoted as a single from the soundtrack for Pokemon The First Movie). You can also see the theatrical trailer for Pokemon The First Movie, as well as a preview of Pokemon The Movie 2000. There's also a piece labeled "Ash's Journey," which is narrated by Brock and lasts about a minute-and-a-half.
I would highly recommend Pokemon The First Movie be in the DVD collection of any Pokemon fan.

Summary: The first endeavor into the theatrical world of Pokemon
Comment: I am currently collecting all 10 of the Pokemon movies and plan to write a review on all 10 of them. The first Pokemon movie is one I had seen in theatres when it had first come out. I think that this movie has a lot going for it and definitely ranks among the best of the movies. I am not a big fan of Pikachu shorts. Something I am glad that is not on every movie. As far as Mewtwo Strikes Back is concerned, it is the only movie that is officially canon for the Pokemon series being that Mewtwo is seen in his metal armor several times during the series, most notably while battling Gary. I liked the movie overall, I think it had an interesting story. It kind of defeats the whole 'Gotta Catch 'em all' tagline because they make it seem as though there is only one Mewtwo. So therefore, only one person can catch it, if that is possible.

Summary: The first and nearly the best Pokemon movie
Comment: This movie was voted the worst of 1999 in several on-line polls. Many parents had to endure the movie in theaters as their children watched gleefully. That's pretty much what it boils down to: if you're someone who is not familiar or fond of the world of Pokemon, this movie will bore you to tears... but if you like the show, the movie pushes it to the next level. The movie opens with a 20 minute short featuring the pokemon without their human trainers. Once the short ends you get the story of Mewtwo versus Mew, which is pretty cool and features a lot of nice visuals. With a soundtrack featuring the pop-stars of the time, this movie also feels a bit more "Americanized" than most other Poke-features. While Lucario and the Mystery of Mew or Pokemon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea might have arguably better stories, this movie seems to zip along the quickest when you watch it.

Summary: One of the Best Movies you'll ever see!!
Comment: Pokemon was and still is a nationwide phenomenon both in Japan and here in the States, and this film wonderfully captures the spirit of fun and adventure that it brought to kids everywhere. Watching this always keeps me young at heart, and is sure to bring lifelong memories to kids of all ages. Makes a GREAT gift, even for yourself!
