FILM NOTES
Pokémon: The First Movie arrived in North American theaters in November 1999, distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures as an adaptation of the beloved Nintendo and Game Freak franchise. Produced by OLM, Inc. and 4Kids Entertainment, the film marked a cultural milestone, drawing record opening-weekend audiences and cementing Pokémon's reach beyond television into theatrical animation.
This cell captures Ash Fighting Mewtwo, one of the film's central confrontations. Ash Ketchum, voiced by Veronica Taylor, is shown crouching or falling on a dark reflective floor while Mewtwo, voiced by Jay Goede, looms behind him in a purple-hued arena setting. The consecutive frames preserve a quiet, tense beat from a sequence that defines the film's emotional core.
