The 2009 film Pokémon: Arceus and the Jewel of Life has finally gotten a US release date for home video. The twelfth feature in the franchise debuted in Japan in 2009 and was broadcast on Cartoon Network in November of that year and Warner Bros. has finally announced a planed February 1st, 2011 release date for the English language only feature, keeping it in tune with previous editions. This feature is noteworthy since it was the first Pokemon film to show in the US the same year as Japan, but it's taking much longer to get to home video here for the planned DVD only edition. The movie performed well in Japan for a 12th feature by raking in nearly 5 billion yen, or 50 million dollars in its original Japanese theatrical run.
Plot summary: The Struggle for Time and Space Begins Again! The Legendary Arceus. Long ago, Arceus granted a fragment of its awesome power as the Jewel of Life to help Michina in the town’s hour of need, only to be betrayed when it was time that power to be returned. After so many years, Arceus is about to return to reclaim that stolen power—enraged, vengeful, and seemingly unstoppable! Not even the combined might of Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina can stop Arceus from devastating all existence across multiple dimensions. But Ash and his companions, joining forces with their new friend Sheena, may have discovered the only way to redeem that ancient betrayal. Their journey will be both dangerous and uncertain: even if Ash and his friends can set an old wrong right again, will there be time to return the Jewel of Life before Arceus destroys everything and everyone they’ve ever known?
