FILM NOTES

Pokémon: The Movie 2000 was released in North America by Warner Bros. Pictures in the summer of 2000, arriving at the peak of the franchise's cultural dominance. The second theatrical entry in the Pokémon film series, it expanded the mythology of the animated world by centering on the Legendary Pokémon and themes of global consequence, drawing enormous audiences of children and dedicated fans alike.

This three-frame cell captures Ash Ketchum and Pikachu riding on the back of Lugia, leaning forward as the legendary Pokémon moves through the air above a rocky surface. The continuous action shot holds Ash and Pikachu as its focal subjects across all three frames, preserving a memorable moment of partnership between trainer, partner, and one of the film's most iconic figures.
