The music is excellent, the plot isn't as childish as some of the other movies (even after it was edited), and it still makes me cry. I've got the movie score on my computer, and dang, it brings back memories. It's one of the best scores I've heard from an anime movie, but maybe that's because it's a part of my childhood and I'm biased. I'm very curious about what the original Japanese version was like- I want to see a sub sometime. I read up about what they changed, and it sounds much deeper and intriguing. Here's Wikipedia's list of country differences: Quote: * According to the director's commentary, the American edit of the film contains CGI effects that weren't included in the original Japanese cut. These include realistic-looking clouds, and smoother animations of the doors on New Island. (The original doors can be seen briefly in the North American DVD animation.) Those CGI effects can also be seen on the Japanese DVD. * In the original Japanese, Mewtwo is angry because he was created by scientists and not God, and attempts to fight back against the world to prove he should be alive. In the American dub, the references to God were removed and he is taking over the world for the benefit of his cloned Pokémon. * A large part of the opening scene was cut out due to being very sad and featuring human cloning. * The original Japanese soundtrack was removed, and an entirely new soundtrack was composed for the American dub. I think taking out the God references weakened the plot tremendously. Oh well, that's what you'd expect from 4Kids, I suppose. I'm interested in seeing what the part they took out of the opening was like, too.
