This movie gave me all the feels. I don't know why but it was so touching in several scenes that it made me tear up. I believe this movie is something EVERY child needs to see. It has great values: Friendship, Believing in yourself, and overcoming obstacles no matter what. Ash and Pikachu kinda take a back seat in this adventure which doesn't really damper the events as they play out. Sure Ash and Pikachu are involved but it's the secondary characters that are the stand out performers of this movie. It is one of the best of the Pokémon movies by far.
