Description
The Stars are Born! A famous director is making a Pokemon movie, but who's going to be the star? Can Psyduck get top "bill"-ing? Then, it's off to Hollywood for the big premiere, but Meowth's been there before! See the long-awaited origin of Meowth, and find out why it can speak! Plus, Bruno is one of the Elite Four and an expert in ground Pokemon, but can even he stop a rampaging Onix?

Could this be the beginning of a kinder, gentler Pokemon? Rather than the usual battles of the pocket monsters between Ash and the sordid Team Rocket, a love story of sorts has descended upon Viridian City in this latest trio of adventures from the popular television series. In the first episode, it's "Lights, Camera, Quack-tion" when a famous movie director, Mister Spielbunk, shows up to shoot a movie about two love-struck Pokemon. As Misty, Ash, and Brock dream of stardom, the question remains, "Which Pokemon will get the starring role?" Will it be brain-impaired Psyduck or the mighty Meowth? This cliffhanger continues in the second episode, "Go West, Young Meowth," when it's off to Hollywood for our favorite Pokemon feline. We discover that years prior, Meowth lived, and loved, in Tinseltown; now we find out who stole his heart, and how he joined Team Rocket. Meowth's tale of love is bittersweet, "like a cheap chocolate bar," he cries. Things get even richer in the final segment, "To Master the Onixpected" when Ash learns the real secret of Pokemon after spending time with Bruno, an Elite Four Pokemon master. Rumor has it that to become the biggest, baddest Pokemon trainer, one must defeat the ominous Onix. Ash learns the truth of the Pokemon power, which has more to do with kindness than bravado. Though there are still moments of derring-do, this may be the gentlest of Pokemon flicks, and a good choice for the uninitiated viewer. Parents concerned about imitative behavior (like slap attacks) should remain cautious. (Ages 4 to 10). --Lynn Gibson

Meowth! April 23, 2002
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Wow! Meowth has a fasinating history! It's touching and genuine (for Poke`Mon). Everything seems to make more sense after watching "Go West, Young Meowth." In the words of Meowth, "My story is a bittersweet one, like a cheap chocolate bar." 5 stars, Meowth!
 Yet another Pokemon video... March 22, 2001
If you've ever bought a Pokemon video, you know what's in store here, three episodes from the TV series. These episodes were pretty good, but weren't as action filled as other eps. In the first episode, "Lights, Camera, Quacktion", the gang runs into movie producer Sven Spigelburg who needs a Pokemon for a co-starring role along side his star, Wigglytuff, in the movie, "Pokemon In Love". However, the only Pokemon that Wigglytuff gets along with is Psyduck! Next comes "Go West, Young Meowth". This is one of the rare episodes that focus almost entirely on Team Rocket! They follow Ash and company to Hollywood to the premier of Pokemon In Love. Along the way, Meowth tells the story of how he learned to talk like a human! Finally, in "To Expect The Onix-Pected!", our heroes run into a rampaging Onix as well as Elite Member Bruno, who teaches Ash that the real secret to understanding Pokemon lies within. All and all, this is a good buy, especially if you're looking for Pokemon episodes that don't have a battle every five minutes! ;)
