Pokémon: The First Movie's CGI remake arrives on Netflix soon

How many times will Mewtwo threaten the world of Pokémon? At least once more, as the CGI remake of Pokémon: The First Movie: Mewtwo Strikes Back will be available on Netflix next month.

The original version of Pokémon The First Movie was, as the name suggests, the first film for the franchise - and was released in Japan in July 1998. It was something of a success, grossing $164m (£125m) worldwide and sparking a further 23 animated Pokémon films.
