Pokémon: The First Movie arrived in North American theaters in November 1999, distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures and produced by OLM, Inc. for Nintendo and Game Freak.

This cell captures Charizard mid-attack across four consecutive frames, preserving the full arc of a single powerful strike. White energy or flame pours downward against a deep, dark background, with each frame offering a subtle shift in pose as the sequence unfolds. Together the frames document one of the film's most visually striking Pokémon in full combat form.
