Vietnamese cinema chain Lotte Cinema began streaming a
Vietnamese-subtitled trailer for Pokémon the Movie: The Power
of Us (Pocket Monster: Minna no Monogatari), the 21st Pokémon film, on Sunday. Lotte
Cinema will open the film in Vietnam on
Friday, November 16.
The film opened in Japan on July 13, ranking #2 and
earning 500 million yen (about US$4.42 million) in its opening weekend. The
film had earned a cumulative total of 2,673,030,600 yen (about
US$24.33 million) as of August 19.
The story is
set during the annual Wind Festival at Frau City, which is blessed with wind
from the Legendary Pokémon Lugia. Lugia and a new Mythical Pokémon named
Zeraora appear in the film.
Kunihiko Yuyama, who has directed many of
the earlier Pokémon films,
including last year's Pokémon the Movie: I Choose You!, returned as animation
supervisor. Eiji Umehara (Grimoire of Zero, Beelzebub scriptwriter) and Aya Takaha wrote the script.
Wit Studio (Attack on Titan, Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress) handled animation
production along with the franchise's mainstay studio Oriental Light and Magic. Tetsuo Yajima, the assistant director
of last year's Pokémon
the Movie: I Choose You!, returned to direct the film, and Shizue Kaneko (If Her Flag Breaks, Pan de Peace!) designed the characters.
