Sound Picture Box: The Birth of Mewtwo

edit

Sound Picture Box: The Birth of Mewtwo (サウンドピクチャーボックス ミュウツーの誕生, Saundopikuchābokkusu myuutsū no tanjō) consists of two discs. The first disc contains episodes of the Japanese radio serial The Birth of Mewtwo (ミュウツーの誕生), released only in Japan and later adapted into The Uncut Story of Mewtwo's Origin. The second disc contains full score of the original Japanese release of the film in addition to two theme songs sung in Japanese.

Synopsis

edit

The first three episodes of the drama mirror the anime short seen in The Uncut Story of Mewtwo's Origin, describing the circumstances behind Mewtwo's creation under a team of scientists and the tragic loss of his first friend, Amber. However, the last two episodes take place during the start of the first movie, after the prologue ends. The drama also goes into detail the leadership of Team Rocket under Madame Boss and the last known whereabouts of Miyamoto (ミヤモト), the mothers of Team Rocket members Giovanni and Jesse respectively.[28][29]
