I mean, Saturday morning cartoons of the 80s had more purpose in their shenanigans. These caricatures can best be described as vacuous. Your kids might love 'em, but it's not a healthy appetite you'll be feeding by taking them to this movie. Having gotten that out of the way, I'll mention a couple things that are dubiously in the film's favor. One thing for which you can't fault Pokemon 3 is the vibrancy of the colors within just about every single frame.
Colors seem to want to bleed right off the cinema screen.
It's pretty standard for this type of thing. And colors alone are no reason to recommend a flick. Lots of shots, scenes, and Pokemon characters are downright whacko. This is primarily what I'm thinking of when I talk about the strangeness of these things. Such goings-on prompt the adult viewer to raise one eyebrow and look at the screen sideways.
