On the 25th of December 2020 the release of the film “Pokémon the Movie: Secrets of the Jungle” treated Japanese fans. On the 10th of September, China had their chance to see it, and then South Korea enjoyed theirs soon after. Now the anticipated Pokémon installment can be watched worldwide on Netflix.
Secrets of the Jungle“ is the 23rd animated Pokémon movie and was intended for the 25th anniversary year of Pokémon.
The official international trailer
Deep within the Forest of Okoya, the Mythical Pokémon Zarude live in a troop and maintain a strict rule that forbids outsiders from entering their territory. Elsewhere in the jungle lives Koko, a human boy raised by a lone Zarude who left the troop. Koko has grown up never doubting that he is a Zarude. But one day, a chance meeting with Ash and Pikachu leaves Koko with his first human friend. Is he truly a Pokémon? Or is he, in fact, a human? When danger threatens the jungle, the bonds between Pokémon and human—and the love between parent and child—will be put to the test.
“Always Safe“ and No Matter What“ are two songs specifically written and recorded for the movie by music artist Cyn. Since the movie is on Netflix fans can hear the songs from the movie on the regular music platforms. With other notable artists (like Katy Perry or Post Malone) is Cyn in the P25 Music program celebrating 25 years of Pokémon for which she wrote and recorded another new song, Wonderful“.
During Pokémon’s 25th anniversary year, we wanted fans to have the opportunity to experience the newest animated Pokémon movie simultaneously as a global community. Pokémon animation is a beloved pillar of the franchise and Netflix is the perfect partner to once again help us deliver a worldwide moment for fans as we celebrate 25 years of action and adventure with Ash and his Pikachu.
