POKEMON DETECTIVE PIKACHU
Watchable. A pleasant tale for teenagers and older kids with cute Pokémons and top-notch CGIs. Starts with a teenager trying to catch a Pokémon and with several mentions of Pokémon training. Apart from the popular mobile game, there are numerous references to movies, e.g. the old detective movie footage in Tim's room is the same Kevin used in "Home Alone", Pikachu wears a Sherlock Holmes hat, some Pokémons have faces like the dragons in "How to Train Your Dragon" and they take Pikachu to a sacred place to heal with shiny jellyfish hovering in dark blue air reminiscent of "Avatar". The whole plot is predictable and fights protracted. Early end credits are comic book style and fun to watch, the second part of credits is accompanied by nice and light pop songs in English and Japanese.
