Pokémon: Jirachi Wish Maker

Pokémon: Jirachi, Wish Maker is a 2003 Japanese animated adventure fantasy film directed by Kunihiko Yuyama. It is the sixth film of the Pokémon anime series and the first film of Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire. It was accompanied by the short Gotta Dance. The film was released in theaters in Japan on July 19, 2003, by Toho. The English-language adaptation was distributed by Miramax Films and released direct-to-video on June 1, 2004. The events of the film take place during Pokémon: Advanced. The featured song in this movie is Asuca Hayashi's A Small Thing (小さきもの, Chiisaki Mono) in the Japanese version while the English version, Make a Wish, was sung by Cindy Mizelle. The tune of this song is also used as the lullaby May and Max's mother used to sing to them when they were children. This is the first movie in which the original Japanese song is also clearly used in the English version, and the first time in which the names of the guest characters were the same in both the English and Japanese versions.
