Synopsis

Giovanni, the leader of Team Rocket, locates Mewtwo in a remote part of the Johto region. As Giovanni attempts to recapture Mewtwo, Ash and his friends are kidnapped by Domino, a new Team Rocket recruit, while trying to rescue Pikachu from Jessie and James. The cloned Pokémon are also captured and used as bait to lure Mewtwo. The conflict escalates into a battle of wills between Mewtwo and Giovanni, while Mewtwo also seeks to determine whether it and the clones have a purpose in life, despite being scientific creations.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 22

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
