The most elaborate of the features to date, Pokemon 3: The Movie, Spell of the Unown introduces new Pokemon that debuted in the fall of 2000 in the Gold- and Silver-edition Gameboy games. En route to the Johto Tournament, Ash, Brock, and Misty visit the mountain village of Greenfield, where they encounter an 8-year-old girl named Molly. Her father, Professor Spencer Hale, disappeared when he set off to study the Unown, a group of 26 Pokemon that resemble letters. The Unown build a baroque crystalline shell around Molly's palatial home, send the leonine Entei to watch over her, and grant whatever she wishes--except the return of her father. What Molly really wants is a family: she refers to Entei as her father and has him kidnap Ash's mom to be her mother. Ash charges to the rescue with the help of Pikachu, Charizard, and Cyndaquil. In the climactic battle, Ash is joined by Brock and Misty, as well as the usually villainous Team Rocket. ("We figure if we don't help you, we're outta showbiz," Meowth explains.) Molly's father eventually reappears, but the viewer never sees the reunion with his daughter. Ash, Molly, and the other two-dimensional characters simply don't fit into three-dimensional, computer-generated crystal settings, and large sections of Pokemon 3 look like two movies unsuccessfully spliced together. A short is also included, "Pikachu and Pichu," in which the popular electric Pokemon wanders through a big city, getting into mischief with the mouselike Pichu brothers. --Charles Solomon

 The third theatrical film for the Pokemon franchise October 15, 2008
This release of the film includes the 20 minute short, "Pikachu and Pichu," that aired before the beginning of the film when it was screened in theatres; the short is also includes the introduction of the Pichu Brothers. However, you cannot choose to watch the short by itself; you have to select "Play" on the main menu in order to view it.
There ended up being six special features included on this DVD release. The first is a documentary called, "Making of 'To Know the Unknown'." It's about the girl group Innosense recording the song for the ending credits of the film. Unfortunately, the audio quality of the interview footage isn't the best.
You can also choose to watch a verion of the film with an audio commentary from the directors of the English dub. The "Johto Pokerap" is included; however, in my opinion, this Pokerap isn't anywhere near as good as the original Pokerap.
The theatrical trailer for the English dub of this film is included. There is also a Japanese trailer for the fourth Pokemon film; however, there are no subtitles, so if you don't know Japanese, you won't understand what's being said. Lastly, there is a text-only feature labeled, "Little Known Unown Facts." I thought this feature was a waste, because all of these facts come out during the course of the film.
Overall, Pokemon The Movie 3 is an enjoyable film. While there are some issues I have with the special features on this DVD, I would still recommend that this DVD should be in the collection of any Pokemon fan.
No Cover April 7, 2008
BUYER BEWARE! I BOUGHT THIS ITEM AND GOT THE REAL DVD, BUT!!! THERE WAS NO COVER. NOW, I KNOW I BOUGHT IT USED! BUT IF THE SELLER WRITES "USED-LIKE NEW" AND DOESNT STATE THAT THERE ISNT A COVER, WHOS IN THE WRONG?
 A Really Good Fairy Tale For Lovers of Pokemon January 23, 2008
This is my official Pokemon movie review part 3 of 10. The Spell of the Unown, I don't like titles like that. I would have much rather preferred "Entei and the Mystery of the Unown," but hey, that's not my decision. I think this movie is a good one. I like the whole fairy tale aspect of it. It actually gets me in my creative mode. Entei was the first unreal pokemon, being that he was just a creation of the Unown and not the real Entei. I liked that Mrs. Ketchum had more of a role in this movie. I always thought they could do something more with her away from that horrible Mr. Mime. It's a good movie to watch when you're trying to clear your head.

I am no illusion February 24, 2007
This was the third Pokemon movie to be release since the original first movie was released back in 1998. A word of warning even though I was in my teens when I saw this movie it gave me nightmares for about 2 weeks after I saw it the first time in VHS format. Even though the Pokemon TV series was supposed to be meant for ages 7 and up I do not recommend this movie to any one under the age of 15 due to heavy violence, large amounts of thematic elements, action sequences, and occasional scary images. This movie takes place during the Joto series. After ashes' mother is kidnapped by Entei on of the legendary dog Pokemon ash makes a heroic journey to rescue her. Entei takes ash mother to a girl named Molly who thinks Entei is her father. "During the beginning of the movie Molly's father was reading her a book and pretending to be Entie. Unfortunately shortly after leave for a dig Molly father was attacked by the Unknown who imprisoned the Professor in another dimension. Shortly after world the unknown took over control of the whole mansion. The unknown brought Entie out of Molly's dreams into the real world. It's up to ashes to prove to molly that Entie is not her father and to free his mother and mansion of the supernatural powers of the unknown. Can ashes once again come to the rescue and save the day? Find out in the thrilling conclusion.
