Pokémon the Movie: Black—Victini and Reshiram and White—Victini and Zekrom

Pokémon the Movie: Black—Victini and Reshiram[c] and Pokémon the Movie: White—Victini and Zekrom[d] are 2011 Japanese animated films produced by OLM, Inc., Production I.G and Xebec and distributed by Toho. The film was directed by Kunihiko Yuyama from a screenplay by Hideki Sonoda. The two-parter film is the 14th animated installment in the Pokémon film series created by Satoshi Tajiri, Junichi Masuda and Ken Sugimori. The two films follow a similar plot. Both films follow a man called Damon, descended from the residents of a dead kingdom called the Kingdom of the Vale. In Black—Victini and Reshiram, he finds Zekrom, a dragon-like creature known as a Pokémon to fulfill his ideals. In White—Victini and Zekrom, he finds the Pokémon Reshiram to find the truth. In both films, the dragon leads Damon to pilot the town's floating castle with the powers of the Pokémon Victini in an attempt to restore his old kingdom and reunite the People of the Vale that have scattered over the past thousand years. The films were released on July 16, 2011 and grossed over $57 million in Japan. The two sides of Every Little Thing's double A-side single "Sora/Koe" (宙 -そら-/響 -こえ-, lit. "Air/Voice") serve as the ending songs for the two films;[2] "Sora" is the theme for the Zekrom version and "Koe" is the theme for the Reshiram version.[3]
