| Notes |
This was the first Pocket Monsters film for which the staff of the film went location hunting. This time, the staff visited Venice, Italy to get reference for Alto Mare.
The movie's animation staff have hidden the previous movies' star Pokémon in the background of a few scenes.

|
A drawing of Mewtwo can be found in the chalk as Satoshi chases Latias/Kanon. |
|
|
A painting
of Lugia can
be found on the wall of a building later on during the "Satoshi chases
Latias/Kanon" scene. |
|
|
Entei is perhaps the easiest legendary to find. Toward the very end of the movie, we see Musashi, Kojirou, and Nyarth looking on a bridge. An etching of Entei can be found below them. |

A picture of Celebi is present in the mosaic Satoshi walks over as he enters the Secret Garden. |
