    Storyline

    Edit
    Sakura and her friends have just finished the fourth grade, and are enjoying a well-deserved break from both school and cardcaptoring. While shopping at a local store, Sakura is fortunate enough to win a free trip to Hong Kong. Once there she is reunited with her rival and friend Syaoran Li, soon discovering that her good fortune is actually the work of a powerful sorceress with a grudge against Clow Reed, the long-dead creator of the Clow Cards. —Lampbane

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Dubbed in English and released as 'Cardcaptors: The Movie' when the 'Cardcaptor Sakura' series aired on American television. As in the series, which was heavily Americanized and stripped of many of the more unique or risqué elements of the Japanese version, the movie shown in America featured renamed characters ('Sakura Kinomoto' becomes 'Sakura Avalon;' 'Yukito Tsukishiro' becomes 'Julian Star,' etc.), re-done music, and a tremendously altered plot. The result was one of the worst and most widely reviled Japanese-to-English transitions since the importation of anime to the states, in terms of faithfulness to the original. Due in large part to a heavy backlash by American fans of the original Japanese version who resented seeing their favorite show (one which dealt with many more complex issues than the typical Saturday Morning cartoon) turned to depth-less Americanized kid-fodder as 'Sailor Moon' had been several years earlier, Pioneer Entertainment (now known as Geneon) thankfully released the American DVDs of both the series and film in their original unedited Japanese language versions.

    10/10
    One of the better general audience anime films.
    Those who've seen the Cardcaptors T.V. series should know that this movie takes place midway through the series-just before the episode "Melin's Story", back when Sakura is still in the process of capturing cards. In the movie she wins a trip for four to Hong Kong. She takes her best friend Madison, her crush Julian, and her older brother Tori with her. (Kero is also brought along as well.) After arriving, she finds herself reunited with Li Showron and Melin. Sakura has also been plagued with frightening dreams lately, and it seems that her winning the trip to Hong Kong was a planned event...see it for yourself.
