Any Pokemon fan should watch this short!

I love this short because it's showing something in mewtwo that proof that he is not the bad guy of the movie,if you watched the short before watching the movie you will have little thought about mewtwo actions and your going to little relates with him!! Also this short is setting in the same story mr fuji dead daughter clone and soo this short is little forgettable!! But I love it.

There's a reason this story was cut

On its own, this short story is a good introduction to a villain with enough emotional depth to garner sympathy from the audience. However, the final version of Pokemon: The Movie showed a very different Mewtwo character, so it is obvious that this version of the intro was removed primarily to prevent inconsistencies with the character's personality.

Trivia
This is included as an extra on the North American DVD of Pokémon : Le Retour de Mewtwo (2000).

Quotes
Ambertwo: My daddy used to tell me a bedtime story that when Pokémon are sad and they cry, their tears are full of life.

Alternate versions
During the flashback of Dr. Fuji and his wife in the dub, he tells her that he has reawakened Amber's consciousness and just needs to "keep it viable long enough to complete the process", implying that he has successfully retrieved an actual part of Amber's self. In the original, however, he says that he has only electronically replicated her consciousness into a hologram, but still swears that he can bring her back to life.
