Whoa, This One Was A Surprise!

Personally, I thought that the Pokemon movies went downhill once they got to Jirachi Wishmaker, leaving a string of, in my opinion, rather mediocre movies. I might have moved on from the TV series once the dubs changed, but Zoroark: Master of Illusions really surprised me. It's actually pretty dark, as if it were from Disney, Don Bluth, or Studio Ghibli. And speaking of Disney, I thought that the antagonist, Grings Kodai, reminded me a lot of Sykes from Oliver & Company, one of my favorite Disney movies growing up. Zorua is really adorable, and Zoroark is really awesome. The anime series might not be as good as it used to be, but you could give this movie at least one watch.

My rating: 6/10
