Okamoto Junya, one of the executive producers for this year’s film, sat down with the Japa
Okamoto Junya, one of the executive producers for this year’s film, sat down with the Japanese entertainment website Cinema Today and talked about the reason they decided to just have one film this year instead of the usual two. Mr. Okamoto explains “During one of the pre-production meetings last year we talked with the director and then with the rest of the staff about how the previous short was both so experimental and so challenging and we ended up getting the sense that the staff was bit burned out from it. So we decided to give the shorts a break for a little while. But even though the shorts are going on a break this doesn’t mean that the staff won’t have as much to look back on years from now.Mr. Okamoto also explained how if they only have one longer feature film then "it’s important to make that movie tight and have it move quickly from one scene to the next” in order to keep the attention of the small kids to whom this movie is mainly targeted. Of course there are also advantages to only having one film, such as the extra 20 minutes or so that get added to the runtime that allow them to pack in more drama and more pokémon. Mr. Okamoto is confident that “this year’s movie moves at a good pace and is filled with expressive animation, and that the second half really sucks you in unlike any other Pokemon movie in history.” He calls out to not only children but to their parents and those who played the first generation games by saying “We also want the adults who aren’t familiar with Pokemon to see this film!! And if you don’t watch out this movie might even catch you off guard and move you to tears so be careful! (laughs)" Source: dogasu -- source link
