Plot Summary:Lucario and the Mystery of Mew, the eighth Pokmon movie, ranks as one of the best features in this popular franchise. Director Kunihiko Yuyama and writer Hideki Sonoda sensibly keep the adventures and threats to a scale thats appropriate for the characters. (The first movies put the world at risk, and while Ash Ketchum is a good kid, hes not someone who can credibly save the planet.) Ash, Brock, Max, and May journey to Cameron Palace for a tournament that celebrates the valor of Prince Aaron, who saved the realm from destruction 1,000 years ago. Ash and Pikachu win, but the mischievous Mew kidnaps Pikachu, whom hes befriended. Prince Aarons Pokmon companion Lucario awakens from the victors staff to lead Ash and the gang to the Tree of Beginning, a mountain that is also a living entity. Ash risks his life to rescue Pikachu, proving the depth of their friendship to Lucario. The film includes lots of CG effects, most of which work well with the drawn animation the earlier Pokmon films tended to look like two different movies spliced together.
