Pokémon: Mewtwo Returns

Pokémon: Mewtwo Returns (2001) is a feature-length animated TV special you can watch online on iFILM — a direct sequel to the first Pokémon movie, picking up Mewtwo's story where it left off.

Mewtwo has found refuge in the Johto region with the clone Pokémon it created — a hidden valley far from human reach. Giovanni, the Team Rocket boss, tracks them down. While his new operative Domino captures Ash and his friends, Giovanni moves to reclaim the weapon he considers his property. Mewtwo faces the same question it couldn't answer in the original film.

Released as a television special rather than a theatrical feature, the film is essentially a coda to Mewtwo Strikes Back — short, direct, and aimed squarely at fans who want the story closed properly. Stream Pokémon: Mewtwo Returns online on iFILM.
