Pokémon: Mewtwo Returns, released in Japan as Pocket Monsters: Mewtwo! I Am Here (ポケットモンスター ミュウツー! 我ハココニ在リ, Poketto Monsutā Mewtwo! Ware wa Koko ni Ari?), is a special hour-long episode of the Pokémon anime series, and is the direct follow-up to Pokémon: The First Movie. It was first broadcast in Japan on December 30, 2000 and was released on VHS and DVD in Japan on March 21, 2001. It went direct-to-video in Australia on August 17, 2001 then in the United States and Canada on December 4, 2001; it is the last film to be distributed by Warner Bros. Family Entertainment, in the US. In the American dubbed version, the DVD (but not the VHS) features a second mini-feature in addition to the movie feature named The Uncut Story of Mewtwo’s Origin. This 10-minute segment was originally part of Mewtwo Strikes Back’s running length in the Japanese version, but it was cut from the U.S. release of that movie because it was deemed too dark and morose...
