"The creatures of Pokémon may be known for their battle prowess, but it turns
out they need a vacation once in a while, just like everyone else. That’s the
premise of
Pokémon Concierge, a beautiful and breezy stop-motion series made
in collaboration between The Pokémon Company, Netflix Animation, and Dwarf
Studios. Depicting the first days on the job for Pokémon Resort’s newest
employee, Haru (voiced by Karen Fukuhara), the show’s four, short-and-sweet
episodes are packed with chill vibes, gorgeous visuals, and a surprising amount
of emotional vulnerability.
Pokémon Concierge is decidedly not action-packed
like the adventures of Ash and Pikachu, but with such amazing feel-good
vignettes exploring the softer side of Pokémon, that’s never a problem.
The biggest draw of
Pokémon Concierge is the meticulously crafted and
infinitely charming stop-motion animation bringing this slice-of-life story to
life. The picturesque island resort is a dream vacation with loving attention
given to everything from the food on the table to the sand and water on the
beach. The fuzzy, adorable Pokémon puppets make everything so gosh darn
comforting and soothing. They’re cute beyond belief and feel incredibly
lifelike, which goes a long way when it comes to establishing the emotional
stakes of the story."
I agree - recommended.
