Pokemon: The First Movie |
| You can get one of four Pokemon cards when you see the movie. Pikachu, Mewtwo, Dragonite, or Mew. Pokemon: The First Movie earned $10.1 million on 2,901 screens, the biggest opening-day gross for an animated film ever. Pokemon crushed the wimpy $4.8 million Toy Story. Phantom Menace holds the record for all films with $28.5 million on its first day. Pokemon is currently not the first movie playing but has been beat by Toy Story 2, but it still holds the best ever first week animation record. |
| I couldn't believe it when I read the reviews for
Pokemon: The First Movie! "Pokemon is God awful.
Bad storytelling. Retrograde animation," opines
Newsweek. "In the annals of cinematic warfare,"
quips the Washington Post, "this listless clash is
no competition for The Seventh Samurai." Another kid heard these reviews and decided to do something about it. Fourth Grader, Andrew Curtin wrote a letter to USA Today explaining why he believed the movie deserved a fair shake. He said the movie was intended for kids, and wouldn’t make a lot of sense to those who don’t follow Pokemon, and I agree with him. |

Some Kids Just Don't Make Sense |
| In Bridgeport, Connecticut a 9 year old boy hid
inside of a store. When they closed, he came out to get
some Pokemon cards. The boy tried to take 44 packs of
cards and a few hundred bucks in cash. He was trapped in
the store, so he called 911, and they caught him! The boy
was released into his grandma's custody and is currently
pending a hearing. -source The Pokemon Center |
