Product Description

From Amazon.com

In the first feature based on the popular series, Sakura wins a trip to Hong Kong. Her father is away on business, so she goes with Toya, Yukito, and Tomoyo. Hong Kong is the home of her classmate and sometime ally Li Shaoran and his obnoxious cousin Meilin, and the cast is soon reunited. Clow Reed, the wizard who invented the magical Clow Cards, also lived in Hong Kong, and his presence lingers there in the memory of the redoubtable sorceress Madoushi. Although Li Shaoran, his beautiful mother, and Kero offer their assistance, Sakura uses her inner resources to defeat Madoushi, a more powerful and evil foe than any of the Cards. This longer adventure preserves the qualities that have won the series so many fans, and it's more entertaining in the subtitled Japanese version than in the clunky English dub. Unrated; suitable for ages 9 and up: Violence. --Charles Solomon

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent movie--horrible dub, Nov 15 2002

By

(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Cardcaptor Sakura Movie (DVD)

Sakura & Company are off to Hong Kong in this adventure...
yet adventure always seems to seek Sakura out, even when
she's on vacation.

The animation in this film is a step up from the TV series,
but that's to be expected for a theatrical release. Several
moments in the film leap off the screen, notably the city
scenes of Hong Kong itself.

The plot plays less as an extended episode (also known as
Card-of-the-Day) than as a tale of mystery and intrigue,
as not only does Sakura learn more about Li's family, but
also Clow Reed's history as well. Sakura's dreams (which
can show her the future, just as in the TV series) are
haunted by a vengeful spirit intent on finding Clow Reed
by any means necessary. Since Sakura is now the Captor
of the Clow Cards that Clow Reed created, the spirit
reasons that Sakura MUST know where Clow Reed is hiding...
even though Clow Reed's been dead for over a hundred years.

One word of warning--UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES
should you even think of listening to the dub track.
Not only are the voices completely and totally WRONG for
every single character, but the dub script utterly destroys
the truly bittersweet ending of this film (and the moral).

Five stars for the sub, no stars for the dub.

3.0 out of 5 stars A very gentle and enjoyable film., July 31 2002

By

"bisdude2001" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Cardcaptor Sakura Movie (DVD)

I just saw the movie today (though I saw it for the first time at an Anime Convention a few yearsago...) and I still find it quite enjoyable. It is very sweet and shows a little bit more character development, especially for Li Syaoran and the man of the past, Clow Reed.
Basically, the plot of the movie is that Sakura has won a raffle contest to Hong Kong for her winter vacation, and there, finds her dreams to be inhabited by an evil but beautiful woman.

The film is quite enjoyable, but I don't know if one would enjoy it if they weren't Cardcaptor Sakura fans.

Warning! If you would only watch the film dubbed, don't see it. This is probably the worst dub ever, even worse than Sailor Moon. Many of the peaceful, orchestrated tracks of the original have been changed to horrible pop songs by wannabe bands, Sakura, who is meant to be cute and sweet, sounds like a full-grown woman, all of Tomoyo's (ahem 'Madison') statements of love for Sakura are changed to shopping comments, Yukito (ahem 'Julian') no longer seems weak, kind, and gentle and instead sounds like every other teenage guy in dubed anime for kids ever. Also, instead of a fortuneteller threatened by Clow Reed's effective fortunes who secretly loved him, the woman (Madoushi?) is instead a crazy, evil woman sealed by the now-super-righteous Clow Reed who wishes to rule the world (??), and the ornament he gave her for her birthday is instead some special talisman that opens a portal to another world.
So um...don't see it dubbed. ^_^;
