"you know you want it!"
Pokemon is only for kids? Not really, if you don't believe this, watch Jirachi Wish Maker, it'll probably alter you view point on this series...

Anime romance? Yup, Pokemon 6th movie has it, Bulter and Diane's bond of love is more than enough to portray this aspect, although we won't see kissing and more mature contents in this movie, the idea of love is presented clear enough that even younger children will understand

Anime action? Plenty. The movie takes time over a 7-day period, as each day passes, the story gets more and more intense until a full explosion of action packed adventure on the 7th night. Flying, falling, fire breaths, beams, tentacles, evil energies are joining together to create the best graphical effect you won't find in the previous Pokemon movies

Themes? Unforgettable. As usual, friendship is emphasized in Pokemon films, but there's more: the film also shows how a person could change after a negative impact that destroys his/her confidence in life; how going against nature could create disasters and unwanted problems for not only humans, but other species living in the same world as humans do...

Graphics and sounds are similar to Pokemon Heroes, with improved cel-shading overall. One downside of this movie is that Characters' voices seem too loud, they don't blend in with the background music that well; but this shouldn't affect the atmosphere the movie creates.

A worth mentioning point in this movie is that the theme song Making a Wish is very catchy, and it alternates between English and Japanese, 4Kids finally begins to realize that keeping something original is more welcomed by anime fans than writing and composing new musics on their own. In addition, there's no intro theme for this movie, the story gets into its position right away, no more time wasted on some Pokemon battles with theme song playing in the background...

In general, Pokemon Jirachi Wish Maker is more than just a kid's show, older generations can watch it together with younger ones and understand the themes at a different level. The movie is worth the money and time!



"Pokemon is still #1!!!"
This movie was so awesome! I'll admit, it did start off rather slow, but this movie is so different from all the others before it!! The animation was beautiful and fluent, and so was the music! Thank you Miramax for keeping the original Japanese music in this film too, although I wished that there was a Japanese audio too. Maybe later I hope. Some of the scenery in the movie was so breath-taking!! The story was very exciting as it got going, especially at the end with the fake Groudon. I loved the scene where Ash and Max are flying around on the Flygon and Butler is on Salamence. The ending song "Chiisaka Mono" in Japanese, or "Make a Wish" in Enlish, is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. The Japanese singer puts so much emotion into her singing, its gorgeous and makes the music video one of the biggest reasons to buy this movie! I also like the fact that there was some romance going on with the two new characters, Butler and Diane. However the voice acting left a lot to be desired. Some of it sounded like a tv dub, Diane's voice was great, but Butler...well it was ok. But it sort of took away from the film. I was about ready to pound that Flygon, very annoying. And the movie actually focuses on a character other than Ash!! *gasp* Thank God! Max & Jirachi were the main focus, with Butler and Diane being secondary focuses. Which made the movie very interesting and a lot more enjoyable than the old "Ash saves the world from certain doom" theme. Not very much air time for Jessie, James and Meowth though, which was a dissapointment. The Pokemon short on this dvd, "Gotta Dance" is hilarious!! The original song for this short was "Polka wa Dolka" and I prefer the Japanese singing to the English-its better on the ears. >_< Very cute song though, makes me wanna dance too. ^_^ All in all, this is a movie that should definetally be on your favorite's list!! Thank you Shogakukan and keep up the good work!!



"Coooooool"
If you think im Carl Crittenden then you are nuts! Carl Crittenden is my dad. Im Carla Crittenden anyway I heard about the moive Pokemon Jirachi Wish Maker and I say coooool. I have every pokemon movie except the 2000 one and the 6 movie but Im getting the 6 moive. Im a big pokemon fan and sonic fan. I gave it 5 stars because everyone else did that too. They said it have alot of mild cartoon voilence. I just love Jirachi. She so cute but I wonder what happen at the end. I really want to see the short Gotta Dance at lest I think that what it caled. I cant wait to get it. COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLL!!!!!!!!!



"One of the Best!"
I really disliked the last Pokemon feature, HEROES, but this film is incredible! This is my first exposure to the new characters May & Max. The Pokemon themselves are radically different, but it is easy to follow along. The story was strong and the voice acting was on spot and conveyed emotion quite well. I loved the short, GOTTA DANCE, and got to see Seviper and Cacnea for the first time (Arbok & Weezing are sorely missed). The "Make A Wish" music video is also a treat & I love how they combine the animation with the symphony setting of the japanese singer. Don't pass this up, my poke-pals!
