"Gorgeous stop animation Pokémon! What could you ask for more?
It looks amazing. The pokémons are so cute and the stories are so relaxing...I do wish the series is longer but I understand how difficult and time consuming stop animation is. Everything for me was perfect. It is a nice relaxing story, perfect for kids and adults." - ladyliliroche
