One Piece: Chopper Kingdom of Strange Animal Island

This review does not contain any spoiler, so feel free to read it. Let's talk about "One Piece: Chinjuujima no Chopper Oukoku", the third One Piece's movie. This movie is like the first two movies, it only lasts barely one hour. And to be honest, it was enough... •Story (02/10): This movie, released in 2002, is centered on Chopper which became the new king of a kingdom that is just an island filled with animals (well, except a living human among them). The story is very basic, and suffers from an unattractive scenario that will never seduce us. The overall humor of the movie is troublesome, and the actions performed bythe protagonists are constantly meaningless. •Art (04/10): I've never been a fan of the art in one piece, in general, and this movie is not an exception. It's colourful, animals are poorly drawn, and wicked people in this movie are pathetically ugly and without charisma •Sound (06/10): Best thing of the movie. Nothing special, nothing notable. Nevertheless, I can not deny that music in general , in this movie, liberates a very nice nostalgic feeling, which make me think of an pleasant 80's OST! •Character (01/10): (I do not talk about One Piece's character in general, but only about those who appear in this movie.) They are all PATHETIC. Mobambi, the main character in this film is annoying as f... and his story is just ridiculous. We don't care about him, and we'll never be. Beside, we don't care about animals, because they're not talking, and because they are useless. Furthermore, the wicked.... any charisma, useless, as weak as an atrophied cow.... I just want to forget them. •Enjoyment (02/10): This movie is annoying, frustrating, boring... I never managed to get into it , and the time seemed interminable . •Overall (02/10): "One Piece: Chinjuujima no Chopper Oukoku" is a bad One Piece movie, and a very very very bad movie in general. Even if you want to watch every One Piece movies, I DO NOT RECOMMEND YOU TO WATCH IT. You'll waste your time, with an hideous way...

This is the third One Piece movie, theoretically taking place after Chopper joins the crew and before they go to Arabasta. They messed up the crew roster though; there should be Vivi in there too but they chose not to add her. Probably because she was so useless, lol. Just like all movies, it is a filler mission with a good budget and a simplistic plot. The story is just about the Strawhat Pirates getting to an island full of weird animals, were poachers are looking for some magical horns that will make them powerful and a token kid asks them to help out. This isby far the most unimpressive premise of all the movies since there is absolutely nothing grand scaled going on here. Ok, supposed the bad guy is going to be super powerful if he finds the horns but even after he succeeds he is nothing before Luffy’s plot armour. Just imagine that although Oda takes ideas from these movies into the canon story later on, there was anything worth to tribute here, since everything is so damn simple in terms of themes. There are many islands with jungles and weird monsters in canon anyway. In reality the whole movie is dedicated to the latest addition to the crew, Chopper (and his voice actress). It even tries to build a sort of drama around his personality where he finds a place to call home. There are many animals like himself there and he had the chance to leave the crew and stay there for a happy life. Ok, it is clear that he won’t in the end but supposed the drama is there to make us feel sad or something. As unimpressive as the premise may be, the artwork makes up for it somehow by being extremely detailed and weird. I mean, damn, there are so many colours and weird animals in here to give you a seizure. The screen is constantly filled with a hundred things to look at and there is even a weird orchestra of villains that mesmerize you with their song. It all feels very quirky for a shounen adventure and I guess that is what makes this movie eye-catchy but otherwise boring for most of the target audience. The action is after all closer to crazy than cool and personally I didn’t like them at all. And the monsters felt like ugly aliens so I almost ended up hated them. So in all, it is not just another passable movie but also something you will most likely dislike in overall. Oh and don’t miss the special short that comes with the movie. “Soccer King of Dreams” may only be 5 minutes long but has some really good jokes in it. And now for some excused scorings.

One Piece Movie 3 : Chinjuujima no Chopper Oukoku Review Story (6/10) Fair The story in the third movie of One Piece is fair, as you can tell this movie is Tony Tony Chopper orientated it'll focus on him a lot more than the other characters, which is fine but I do think the fact that Chopper doesn't get the final shine against the main antagonist in this movie it kind of disappointed me. I understand that Chopper isn't that type of character and he did give it his all and when he was actually fighting the main antagonist he was use all of his abilities. I'mjust saying that it would have been cool in that One Piece movie that goes down have the Tony Tony Chopper One Piece movie that he would have been the one to do the concluding blow but it is what it is. Art and Animation (7/10) Good For the 3rd movie in the One Piece Movies and literally coming out almost exactly a year after it's previous movie you would assumed that it would look a tad bit more updated than the last one. When it actuality the art style in this one reminds me more of the first movie without it's animation. The animation in this one I think was better than the 2nd movie but not as good as the first. Either way it's still good but for movie standards it definitely could have been better but I think since they are farting these movies out almost annually now that quality when it comes to animation wouldn't be seen that often even by anime movie standards. Sound (8/10) Very Good More Specifically (8.5/10) Very Good+ The authentic JP voices and BGM are all heard in this movie which required and applaud but the reason why I'm giving this section just a little extra points is because of the outro music played at the end of the movie stood out to me it was very very good. Characters (9/10) Great The Straw Hat Crew is slowly getting bigger as this is the first movie Chopper debuts in. All of the characters we know up to this point are present and are entertaining nothing really wrong with them. The movie characters and villains ok not better than the previous movies but not bad enough to nitpick on any level in my opinion. Enjoyment (7/10) Good This movie didn't have me at the edge of my seat but it didn't put me to sleep either. It was entertaining enough for me not to feel like I wasted my time with it. I couldn't recommend this movie to anyone but if someone ask me how I enjoyed I wouldn't say I didn't enjoy it. The movie was over before I knew it so it didn't felt like it dragged on anywhere so that's a good thing in my book because to other two I felt had that issue to an extent. Overall (7/10) Good More Specifically (7.50/10) Good+ Since we are around the point where these movies are going to come out annually I'm sure the quality most likely will drop. I've heard the only two movies I should really judge is Strong World and Film Z any other One Piece movie is debatable if they can be considered recommendation quality and so far I can agree with this statement if you are a fan of One Piece I can so give it a shot in the dark with this one but if you are looking for something really good this might not suffice you on that level but it's not bad if that counts for anything.
