FILM NOTES

Pokémon: The Movie 2000 was released in Japan in 1999 and internationally in 2000, produced by OLM, Inc. and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures in North America. The second theatrical entry in the Pokémon franchise arrived at the peak of the global phenomenon, drawing on the anime series while expanding its mythology through legendary Pokémon. It remains a cultural marker of the turn-of-the-millennium animation landscape.

This cell captures Zapdos across four consecutive frames from a single electric burst sequence, preserving the rhythm of the action in a rare multi-frame strip. The blue and white palette and radiating spike silhouette are characteristic of how the film rendered its legendary birds, making this a focused and visually coherent piece of animation history.
