75The favorable three-star rating I'm giving the animated Pokémon: The First Movie is based at least partly on the fact that I expected to dislike it and didn't.

But the animation, with its rich colors and stylized angles, is fun to watch and at times does seem like a psychedelic "Sesame Street."

7It is great for Pokemon fans and decent enough for some others to enjoy it. The story may come off as a surprise to some.
