Customer Ratings & Reviews

Unfortunately, the others are right in stating that this set does not have any extras other than the movies. If it had the Pikachu mini episodes or even subtitles, I would have given it an extra star or two. Despite the lack of additional content, the steelbook looks great. There is a bit of embossing on the front around the Pokémons, and it's glossy (I like my steelbooks to be glossy ;) ). However, my steelbook in particular has some space between the metal and the inside plastic, and it just makes it feel flimsy. Perhaps this may be due to mishandling, like someone squeezed it too much, and the metal may have been bent by a small amount. It's rather a minor inconvenience, and it doesn't bother me that much. There are three discs inside, one for each movie. I can bet you there is wasted space on each disc because the movies themselves are not long. Overall, it's a barebones collection. If you want the movies in hd (though the hd remaster isn't spectacular), then get it at a low cost. I got my copy at $16.99, and I still thought it was too much. Just don't get it at $39.99 unless nostalgia hits you.

I have been watching this online for years, but the amount of detail is amazing in this. Compared to my vhs copy this is gold and you will notice a difference.

Nothing enhanced about these movies, but they still are a blast to watch! And a really excellent Steebook!

The Steelbook release, which is actually out of print now in favor of a single disk triple feature release, is the best way to watch the first 3 Pokemon movies today. Each movie has its own disk, which gives each plenty of space to breath and they look great on Blu. Disappointing is the lack of the Pikachu shorts, and lack of surround soundtracks, but at least each movie looks suitably excellent.

I was just searching around to find some 4k movies that I like to own, then my eyes caught something even better. That was the Steelbook Blu-Ray set of Pokemon 1-3 Movies. I havent seen those childhood films in a long time and so i bought it on sale for 20 dollars. Im happy with the purchase.

It's time to step back into time for a minute, when a craze rocked childhood harder than Barbie or G.I. Joe. 1998 hit like a nuclear truck filled with bricks when Pokémon took over the globe. Pokémon GO may have been a hot popcorn f*rt in comparison, but all the things that made the original craze epic still hold up very well in 2017. So here's the first three movies to remind you of a time when Charizard and Mewtwo rivaled for the crown of baddest boi in the sandbox, let's go from worst to best. Pokémon Movie 2000 - OK, so this is probably the second worst movie in the entire franchise. The premise is two sentences, the antagonist is boring, the featured Pokémon are the birds (boring), Lugia doesn't hold a candle to Mewtwo, it's short, the animation is REALLY meh, Pokémon 2000 is a dive. If you bought this on DVD, I feel bad for you. It's purely filler in this set, but it's there. Two stars, mainly because it's got the old team and I'm feeling generous. ** Pokémon 3 - This is an excellent addition to the movie universe, and one of the best animated out there. This is one of the ones that was still cel-shaded before Project Pikachu transitioned to computer shading, and it is remarkably well down. The third act is very dark (color wise) and just about everything casts a shadow. Crystals, faces, Pokémon, everything is well shaded. This entry blows the second movie clear out of the water. It also has a touching story behind it involving a little girl trapped in a desolate crystal world with the memory of her father brought to life by the Unown in the form of the legendary beast, Entei. Yes, you read all of that correctly. Fans of the Legendary Gerbils will be well at home with this movie. The finale also includes a fan favorite in one of the franchises most epic battles. Fantastic movie and reason to own this Limited Edition set. Eight stars. ******** Pokémon The First Movie - This is probably why you eyed the Blu-ray set, and it is the exact same movie it was in 1999. The first movie is part Akira, part clone wars, part mock death, part feels. It takes it's time with its set up, it's antagonist is none other than the crown king of genetic monstrosities turned sympathetic antihero (the best kind), this is the first time fans got to see a lot Pokémon they hadn't aired in the show yet, Pokémon the First Movie is a gem. Did you know that Christina Aguilera and Baby Spice helped with the soundtrack? I didn't know that until the credits. Very well animated and voiced, funny parts, parts with intrigue, between the third movie and the first movie this set gets a five on BB from me. Nine point nine-nine stars from me (Rise of Darkrai will always be my favorite at 10). ********* There's some caveats to this set. There's no Japanese audio track, and there's no subtitles. There's no special features, and there's no Pikachu shorts. Maybe Viz Media didn't obtain the rights to those, I don't know. Each movie is on it's own separate disc, and the set has two parts in its steelcase. So there's no inner "page" for one of the three discs; two of them are staggered on the right side. Still, it's the absolute best the first three have looked and probably will look for years to come. As more of these movies make their way to Blu-ray we're reminded of what made us fall in love with the franchise in the first place. A good pick for kids, dads, moms, the whole family.

A great gift for my kid to watch the original pokemon movies he really loves pokemon just like his father. Only thing is that these dvds do not come with the mini movies the vhs version use to come with but all in all its amazing to have this collection.

The Steelbook itself looks amazing, and the fact that it comes with 3 amazing movies is excellent. Each movie's disc also has artwork on it similar to the front of the case. Overall, an instant purchase for any Pokemon fan.

I bought this as a gift for my wife and she was delighted. It was very nostalgic to relieve our childhood and share it with our children. The first movie is the best to me but, YMMV of course. Definitely worth getting!

I bought this pack of 3 movies for my kids, they love to see pokemon movies so this package was on sale so decided to buy it for Christmas, my kids likes to watched over and over plus it's 3 movies.

This was a gift for my girlfriend and she absolutely loved it! She’s a huge Pokémon fan and was blown away by the awesome steel book packaging and three movie collection!

These movies take me back to when I was a kid. I remember seeing the first movie at my 10th birthday party. The movies really hold up pretty well, and are a great value.

My kids loved it, and it was a blast from my past as well. I noticed all the times the movies changed quality: suddenly sharper and a better master of the movie back to blurry with noticeable pixelation. It was distracting for me, but I didn't really get this for me. I love the steelbook.

Awesome Blu-ray box set of the first 3 movies. Great picture quality and obviously a perfect sentimental call-back. Plus, the metal tin is a nice touch for a collector.

This set of three movies open up me wanting to go get the whole pokemon movie collection! I will start from the indigo league of course! Got to catch them all

I remember going to the theater and watching these movies with my grandson and now I can watch them at home with my great-granddaughter.

The price for these three movies is worth it! The original is a classic and the other two are just as good! Enjoy with the little ones

Got this as a Christmas present for my grandson. He loves all things Pokemon, cards , movies and plays on his phone. He loved them.

I am sure many have heard by now, but this release contains no special features, nor the original Pikachu shorts! But for the discounted price of $20, I'd say it was worth it! Beautiful packaging and the films look marvelous!!
