Synopsis
It consists of nothing but Pokémon-speak--similar to the mini-movies that air with each theatrical movie. It's a short special based on life of the Pokémon Slowking. (Source: Bulbapedia and Graffitti studio)
Audience Consensus
The audience generally dislikes 'Slowking's Day,' finding it boring and irritating due to the repetitive narration and annoying children's voices. Some appreciate the short length and acceptable art quality, but these positives are overshadowed by the film's drawbacks. The special is considered a low point in the Pokémon franchise.
Strengths
- Short runtime is good for the limited story.
- Art is pretty good, especially the sunset scene.
- Slowking's character is consistent with the movie.
Weaknesses
- Lacks plot and meaningful characters.
- High-pitched, nasal voices of children are annoying and incessant.
- Constant yelling of what Slowking is doing detracts from enjoyment.
