I adore Team Rocket. They're a riot, tearing down the forth wall simply because they have nothing better to do. And now I have the hankering to go find the version of the movie you watched.

Yet another great review. Also, I think that the lady in the credits was Molly's original mother, confirmed or not. If I remember the scene correctly (and I've seen the movie loads of times), Molly glances up, looks surprised yet happy, and runs over to her, giving her a huge hug. If this lady had been a new mother, she probably had to have reacted differently. If she had seen her before she probably wouldn't have been surprised, and if she hadn't she certainly wouldn't have given her a big hug. That whole scene screamed "meeting someone you love but haven't seen in a long time" to me. I could be wrong, of course, but that's my opinion.

Dragonfree, TV Tropes is ruining your life.



On a somewhat more relevant note, this is really making me want to watch the third movie. For some reason, I never paid much attention to it, and now I wonder what I've been missing.

I don't remember seeing the third movie at all, but i have the unown card that came with the movie, and as i look at it i feel awkward, because I can't remember it, though I have physical proof that I have… O.o

As KyuuFox said, apparently the "Unown have to do with wife's disappearance" thing was made up for the dub and was a change from the original story. Though I don't remember any mention of what he claims is the Japanese backstory at all. :/



Dogasu's comparison also says that Team Rocket's entire role is completely rewritten, so I'm not surprised I don't remember the thing about having a bigger role in the next movie. :P It's a fun addition, though.

Your other movie reviews for some reason made me want to go and watch the third movie a few days ago, so I have a couple of vague comments (bearing in mind that it was the English dub I watched, so yeah).



I seem to remember it being mentioned/hinted at at some point that the reason Professor Hale was researching the Unown in the first place was because he thought they were related to his wife's disappearance - in other words, Molly's mother was also zapped into an alternate dimension by the Unown. This led me to the conclusion that the woman in the credits sequence really was Molly's mother, having been sent back into reality just like her father, making it a rather adorable Crowning Moment of Heartwarming.



The other thing is that, during one of Team Rocket's unimportant scenes, Meowth had a line where he wondered if they'd have a bigger role in the next movie, which I found to be a rather hilarious lampshade on the fact that they'd done nothing at all in this one. xP

In the dub version of Movie 3, they have a directors' commentary.

They talk about Molly's Mom.



In the Japanese version, the story is that Molly's dad was so obsessed with finding the Unown, he mom went insane and was institutionalized.



In the dub, she was a researcher about the Unown and disappeared while studying them, causing Molly's Dad to research them to try to find out what happened to her.



Personally, and ironically, I prefer the dub's explanation.

That defense can be true in some cases, but most of it can be explained.

That's not really relevant to my point. Yes, they are mysterious, but because they are so mysterious, their actions in the movie, if you can even call them actions, make no coherent sense. That is a handwave akin to the "God moves in mysterious ways" defense. :/

Don't forget that they're spelt "Unown", Oh-Paching.

I think you were being a bit overly critical of the Unknown in your "The Bad" section. They are "unknown", after all.

I just read the second movie review…ah, I love how much you hate it. When I watched that movie, I found it boring so I pretty much kept leaving the room and doing other stuff, then coming back and not finding anything too new or surprising going on.

Oooh i really like Nidoking style for my phone. It work's nicely and the colors aren't harsh or too bright. (my phone shows colors a little brighter, so I cant use Mew style without a headache v_v) anyways this has renewed my love for your site. Butterfree, you're awesome.

Butterfree D: why does my style keep switching back to whatever style you set for the genreal non xookie ness, i have cookies on my phone, but it randomly switches tothe style that is preset, (slasher i think its called) and normally that theme is EPIC WINA! But on my phone i can't see , as the comments box is white, and so are the words… :\ i think i had it on voice of the forest or scyther slash style.
