* This {{pkmn|movie}} was released between [[EP054]] and [[EP055]] in Japan.

* The movie noticably gives Mewtwo design that bore little resemblance to the artwork used to represent the species in the anime's early days: while said artwork depicted Mewtwo as having a larger head, more bulging eyes, and a thinner body sporting a hunchbacked stance, Mewtwo's actual design in the anime depicted it with a smaller head, more angular eyes, and a more upright, muscular, humanoid body. This design would eventually be represented in the games for the first time as artwork first seen in ''Pokémon Fire Red and Leaf Green'', although its Generation III sprites still resembled the old design, with its Generation IV sprites being the first time its current design was used in-game. | |||
* At ten minutes, this movie has the longest prologue.
