One Piece : Épisode d'Alabasta - Les Pirates et la Princesse du désert

Another one of these One Piece "movies" or "films" that are more like a condensed version of an arc. But I get why you'd call it a movie or film as opposed to condensed version. Better for marketing. Still I find it a little funny that these are made as a sort of necessity now since this series is so ridiculously long that it doesn't even expects own fans to keep up with it so it makes these films to keep you caught up. But I also thought the purpose of these films were to highlight the important bits minus all the filler. To me the most important bits are the great fight scenes which is (to me) this series saving grace but it even rushed that.

If you haven't seen the series this movie gives a really rushed recap of one of the better arcs of One Piece in my opinion. It introduces Croc who is a great villain/character with a super cool power and also introduces mama Robin who is more than waifs material with an equally cool power and better character.

Everything felt really rushed and focused too much on the cheesy elements of the princess trying to compel her people to choose peace by merely yelling/pleading to them and existing. Then it basically just said, "oh and there were some really cool fights with Zoro, Nami and Luffy but yeah this girl cried for her country and became tattoo buddies with the Straw Hats. Should've shown more of the fights. 5.57/10.
