FILM NOTES

Pokémon: The Movie 2000 was released in North America by Warner Bros. Pictures in July 2000, arriving at the peak of the global Pokémon phenomenon. The second theatrical entry in the franchise, it expanded on the anime's mythology by centering on the Legendary birds and the sea guardian Lugia, drawing audiences well beyond the core animated series fanbase. It remains a cultural marker of turn-of-the-millennium animation and franchise filmmaking.

This cell, titled Charizard & Friends, captures consecutive frames from one of the film's aerial sequences, showing Charizard in dramatic flight against the stormy purple-blue sky that defines the film's climactic passages. Lugia, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur are among the characters present across this grouping, making it a meaningful piece for collectors drawn to the ensemble at the heart of the story.
