Summary: It's good!!!
Review: What I must say is if you know chinese/Japenese this is very expensive, why not buy the other versions? But any way ,it's great. I bought my from Yesasia I'm just missing the last 8 finnal disc (not DVDs,my are VCDs)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Sakura and the Hong Kong Mystery!
Review: I reviewed this before, but somehow said reveiw never got put up, so I'll just do it again. Here we have the first silver screen outing of our favorite ten year old magic girl and friends!

First I need to partially retract a comment I made in my review of disc 11. We kick off this film with the capture of the Arrow card, which comes into useful play later on in the film, but is otherwise little more than a line item.(I still feel cheated - I REALLY wanna know what Libra does!)

As school lets out for winter break, Sakura tries her luck at a ball pulling contest and, wouldn't you know it!, she wins the grand prize!(Actually, though she never knows it, she had a little "help".) The prize: a trip for four to Hong Kong! And since her father can't make it, she goes with Toya, Yukito, and, of course, Tomoyo-Chan. But a voice is haunting her dreams, and trying to lure her into danger greater than any she's encoutered before! Even with the help of Syoaron and Meilin, home for the holidays, and Syoaron's powerful mother, Yelan, at her side, does she have any hope of victory?!

Okay, a few points. The name of Li's mother comes from the insert that came with the DVD - at no point in either the dub OR the orignal Japanese is she ever referred to by name in the film, she is only called "Li's Mother/Okaasan". Second, despite what others have said, the dub is just as good as the Japanese, and is probably the only CCS piece(at least until the other movie arrives in Nov. '03.) that is almost translated word for word. The only real differences aside of a few minor dialogue alterations for lip movement is the back story on the Sorceress/Madoushi. Other than that, nothing critical. I especially love when Kero first looks at modern day Hong Kong and is stunned at the changes to his old home. It's a hoot in either language!

Until I type again! Ja' nae!

Summary: KAWAII!
Review: I must say, I did not buy the dvds from Amazon but instead order the whole entire series and both movies in Japanese from a man in Singapore (they are subtitled in English.) CCS is such a kawaii show and the anime is awesome. I swear, CLAMP should be working for Disney because then Disney could have some good movies. Kero-chan is so naturally kawaii in the Japanese series. I love the series SO much but not in English. The English version is [bad] and the name changes stink. The Japanese version is the original and best!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Definitely Fulfilled My Expectations!
Review: Sakura & Company are off on another adventure, this time to the beautiful city of Hong Kong, with Kero wise-cracking almost the entire time. I purchased this DVD having very high expectations of what I wanted to see. And Card Captor Sakura: The Movie rocketed above anything else.
I'm not including any summaries, as you can read them above, so I'll skip right to the comments and criticism. This DVD contains both the Japanese and English Uncut Dub, both which I found entertaining. But I will say this. I think that the Nelvana version is not that bad. COME ON PEOPLE!! GIVE NELVANA A LITTLE CREDIT HERE!!! I personally find the dub job very satisfying indeed. It closely matches the original Japanese version, and the only big major difference is the ending (though I will say that I think Nelvana should have kept the original ending. It makes much more sense).
And I will not give any points to the Japanese music or voices, because it severely sucked...in my opinion that is. The Japanese music is very girly, goody two shoes and extremely ANNOYING! The English music is so much better because it has more of a realistic feel to it.
I also like how Nelvana made the character voices seem more mature. Any other squeaky girl voice would have nagged the hell out of me. Carly McKillip did a great job, as did the other english voice talents.
This DVD has a lot of extras, including trailers and clips, and widescreen options.
Overall, fantastic DVD in either Japanese or English. People should really love this one.

Summary: Big trouble in little China...
Review: Sakura Kinomoto has won a trip to Hong Kong, but was it really fate that brought her there?

The first movie of Cardcaptor Sakura has finally been released on DVD in america, and it couldn't have gotten any better! The DVD contains both English and Japanese audio tracks, but obviously the Japanese one is much better. The English 'Nelvana' version is pretty much a hack job, with them totally rewritting the main POINT of this film, changing the dialogue, and sending the music through the shredder. It'd be wise if you didn't watch it in this version, because this could easily be one of the worst dubs EVER.

Anyway, the DVD is also anamorphic, so it can fit the screens of those lucky dogs who have widescreen televisions. There's also some trailers and clips here and there. As for the actual movie, its not actually filled to the brim with action; its more of a mystery type thing, with some weird stuff happening to our dear Sakura as she stumbles into a supernatural mess of things. The movie isn't bland though, its got its' moments(Like Shaoran getting jealous over Yukito buying Sakura a gift.). The music is mostly different than what you're used to if you've seen the TV series. Most of it is Chinese-styled music, although there are some points where the traditional CCS march will kick in.
The animation is superb, even better than the TV shows', but don't expect much 3D CGI stuff here.

If you're a fan of the series, you should check this out. But if you aren't that familiar with Cardcaptor Sakura, trying to figure out the relationships of the characters may turn out to be a chore, making this movie less enjoyable.

Summary: Cardcaptor Sakura The Movie
Review: This is one of my best videos so far! This is a really cool movie! I really mean it! This is about a 10-year-old girl named Sakura who is on a journey to capture all these Clow Cards. In this movie its about Sakura who is going to capture the "Arrow Card". (On the beggining she does) Sakura does capture the card but thats not all...Sakura won a trip to Hong Kong! Well theres one problem. Sakura could sense there was something wrong in Hong Kong and THERE WAS something wrong. She has weird dreams about her in some place with a woman. The womans name is Soo Young, a woman who is evil because of the creator who created the Clow Cards; Clow Reed who trapped Soo Young for useing her powers for bad not good. So now Sakura has to try to find away to defeat the knowledge woman; Soo Young and try to save Sakura and her friends from being trapped in Hong Kong forever but in the well where Soo Young was. Will Sakura defeat her or will willingly to give up? Find out on this awsome movie "Cardcaptor Sakura The Movie". This is in English language and this is removable subtitle. Also, this has movie trailers to! I guarentie if you get this movie you will enjoy it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great movie... Great way to start!
Review: I found it enjoying. You get to see Li's mother and his (crazy) sisters (Li is rich rich rich man!).
Sakura wins a trip to hong kong over winter break, but she didn't win for no reason. Like kero said, nothing is a coincidence! In hong kong Sakura runs into an old flame of Clow reed who is mad. Will Sakura be strong enough to fight a powerful sorceress? And exactly why is she soooo mad??? well I won't tell you what happens. You'll have to find out yourself.
Get the "Cardcaptor Sakura" version because that is a uncut version (which is the one i'm writing the review on). Also it comes with english and Japanese dub and English subtitles so no point of getting the "cardcaptors" version. When getting dvds always get the original version because it will mostly likely be an uncut version.
The Cardcaptor Sakura version comes in a one dvd set. Umm... has another optional cover (the original japanese edition cover). Also comes with a free pencil board (well my version i got did). Hmmm..... well if your a cardcaptor fan, this is definitely for you! If not and you still think cardcaptors is kool then get it!
Well then happy shopping!

Summary: the [first] CCS movie -- by a former CC fan
Review: Wow. This movie... it's great!! I just can't really put this into words, it's so good! Well, I guess I can say you'd be pretty lost if you don't know some of the relationships between the characters from the TV series (Sakura, Tomoyo, Kero-chan, Touya, Yukito, Syaoran, Meilin[g], etc.). Since it is the DVD/uncut version, CC fans will be clueless or even "disturbed" between some changed relationships (Tomoyo-Sakura and Yukito-Syaoran I think). I do like the way Pioneer combined CC and CCS stuff (reverse cover, commercials, voice actors...), but some of the subs are funny. Hm... oh well. It's time CCS got the treatment it deserves!
**However, the English dub is just terrible. This movie went from a suspenseful story w/ a fuller [predictable] ending to a somewhat suspenseful story with an ending that fell flat on its face. The dub's ending disappoints fans and non-fans alike. Watch if you can stand such an ending. Still, it does retain some of the better CC goodness.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Cardcaptor Sakura The Movie
Review: I had only seen a few "Cardcaptors" dubbed episodes on TV quite a while ago but I liked it, so when I heard the Cardcaptor Sakura movie was released on DVD I bought it just so I could get to know the story better. Unfortunately, the movie doesn't exactly explain the origin of Sakura becoming a cardcaptor so unless you've watched the anime show you'll probably be at a loss on what the Clow Cards are and much of the characters' relevencies. This might be a spoiler but the ending just didn't satisfy me. It just wasn't climactic. Also, Sakura doesn't do all that much in this movie, just a lot of flying and every now and then using a Clow Card. On a plus side, this movie is very nicely animated with beautiful scenery and interesting characters. I was just hoping for a little more fighting action. All in all, Cardcaptor Sakura The Movie will be fun for kids and true CCS fans to watch. If you want lots of action, give this movie a try anyway, but you might end up having to look elsewhere.
