Pokemon Movie Comes to US
Pikachu and friends will be showing up at your local cineplex this summer in the first of the Pokemon movies.
According to a Variety report, Warner Bros. is currently trying to acquire the theatrical rights to the first Pokemon movie, "Mewtwo Strikes Back." If the studio can nab the rights, the movie could hit theaters just as the fall season begins - becoming a huge promotional booster for the series' regular premiere on Kids WB.
Mewtwo Strikes Back is the first of two Pokemon movies - the second is Pikachu's Summer Vacation, which hit theaters in Japan at the same time as Mewtwo. At press time, 4Kids Productions, the production company that dubs the show for the US audience, could not be reached for comment.
