The highly stylized and “simplified” animation in this movie is a huge departure from its counterpart in the anime series and it adds greatly to the depiction of the tribulations that the Straw Hat crew faces on the Secret Island.
Figuring they could use a vacation they travel to the island not knowing that it harbours one of the greatest challenges they may ever face. The movie has the Straw Hat crew find a message in a bottle advertising a resort called Omatsuri Island where there are all manner of relaxing and fulfilling activities tailored especially for powerful Grand Line pirates. This was my favourite One Piece movie until Strong World came out in 2009. Not a bad time, but there are certainly better anime movies to watch.ĭirected by the incomparable Mamoru Hosoda (of The Girl Who Leapt Through Time fame), this is by far the darkest and creepiest single piece of One Piece media. While less involved than pretty much all of the other One Piece movies, as the so-called “worst” of the bunch this movie is still better than some of the more common anime rabble these days. Chopper is then crowned the king of the strange animals and both he and the rest of the Straw Hat crew help defend the island’s inhabitants from a treasure hunter named Count Butler and his henchmen. The story has the Straw Hat pirates arriving at the Island of Strange Animals only to have their ship thrown into the air and have Chopper fall overboard. Adding Chopper (and specifically not Nico Robin) to the Straw Hat crew, Chopper’s Kingdom on the Island of Strange Animals is essentially both the least canonical and one of the least beloved of the One Piece movies (I still enjoy it because Chopper is my favourite character, but that’s neither here nor there).
