Editorial/Description:Amazon.com: Thanks to a greedy Pokémon collector, Earth's weather patterns are askew and its population doomed unless Pokémon trainer Ash can return three glass balls to their proper place in this second Pokémon feature. Unlike the television show, the movie features little violence and no Pokémon battles in the classic sense. Instead, the focus is an environmental one: what happens when humans interfere with the harmony of Earth's elements--in this case fire, ice, and lightning. Even Team Rocket have a (temporary, to be sure) change of heart, joining Ash and Misty in their effort to free the three imprisoned birdlike Pokémon who regulate those elements. The good intentions of this 76-minute film, however, don't make it any less dull for grownups (even though this feature is better than the first). Even more mind-numbing than the feature is the lead-in short, "Pikachu's Rescue Adventure," in which Pikachu and Pokémon friends follow Team Rocket's feline down a hole into a Munchkinland-type place. Without the humans for dialogue, viewers must endure a full 20 minutes of nothing but the squawks and squeaks of pocket monsters. As the movie's title song says, "We all live in a Pokémon world."

The second theatrical film for the Pokemon franchise
September 24, 2008
Pokemon The Movie 2000 is the second theatrical film for the Pokemon franchise. Before the film, there is a short titled, "Pikachu's Rescue Adventure." The actual film revolves around three Legendary Pokemon (Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres), and how a Pokemon collector is trying to capture all three of them in order to capture Lugia (the "Great Guardian"). Ash ends up being the "Chosen One" referenced in a legend, and it's up to him to save the day.
This DVD release of Pokemon The Movie 2000 has some special features. First, there is an extra labeled as, "Soundtrack Live." This includes live performances of Dream Street's "They Don't Understand," Alysha's "Dreams," and Youngstown and Nobody's Angel's version of "Pokemon World." There is also a two-minute documentary about the making of the soundtrack, which includes interviews with Donna Summer and "Weird Al" Yankovic. All of these extras were part of "The Power of One: The Pokemon 2000 Movie Special" that aired on The WB. There are also theatrical trailers for Pokemon The Movie 2000 and for Pokemon The Movie 3.
Overall, I have to say that I enjoyed this film. The film runs for about an hour and twenty minutes, and the story utilizest his runtime well. However, I'm a little disappointed that there isn't a way to be able to be able to choose to simply watch the "Pikachu's Rescue Adventure" short by itself on this DVD.
Any Pokemon fan should have this DVD release of Pokemon The Movie 2000 in their DVD collection.
The Best of the Best.

This is part 2 of 10 in rating the pokemon movies. Pokemon the Movie 2000 is my favorite. A lot of this harkens back to it's theatrical release when there was a lot of anticipation for gold and silver to be released and to see Lugia on the big screen, wow. Looking back on it, I really like the mythology behind it. Although it shares no real canon to the television series, I think that this movie made it seem on a grander scale. Like the world was really in danger. I don't know that I care too much for the title of the main movie, "The Power of One," I think it gives too much away. I also don't think that Ash truly was the power of one considering he had all the help he had. I mean, he couldn't have done that by himself. The true lesson seems to be that you need allies. This is an overall great installment to the Pokemon movie franchise.
Disappointed

My grandson has been anxiously awaiting this CD.
We sat down to watch it only to have it constantly
stick at certain points.......we tried moving it ahead
but it would immediately go back to the beginning.
All in all a frustrating experience. By the way, it's
a filmsy recording in a flimsy box..........
almost like one that is made off market.
We should really get a replacement from Amåzon.
Great movie to add to your Pokemon collection

I enjoyed this one just as I enjoyed the first movie. As some have said before...it is more lighthearted than the first one which is nice. It starts with the three legenderies; moltres, zaptos, and articuno being captured and its up to ash to "save the world" lugia makes an appearance and a powerful one at that. the movie didnt fail to entertain and i reccomend it highly to any fan. its going on the shelf with the rest of my pokemon collection.
A child's favorite.

A true fan of Pokemon would enjoy this movie. It is now my two son's
favorite of all the Pokemon movies in their collection of movies.
