FILM NOTES

Pokémon: The Movie 2000 was released in North America in July 2000 by Warner Bros. Pictures, following the unprecedented theatrical success of the first Pokémon film. Produced by OLM, Inc. and distributed internationally by Miramax, the film arrived at the peak of the franchise's cultural dominance and remains a defining artifact of late-1990s animation and merchandising history.

This cell, titled Charizard & Friends, captures a sequence of three frames depicting Charizard in flight against a turbulent purple sky, consistent with the film's climactic sequences involving Lugia. The confirmed cast of Charizard, Lugia, Pikachu, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur places this moment within the cooperative effort central to the story's resolution, making it a meaningful piece of the film's most visually striking chapter.
