Description
Catch one of the most amazing Pokémon ever -- Jirachi, a magical creature capable of making wishes come true -- in this all-new Pokémon movie never before seen in theaters! Only once every thousand years when the Millennium Comet is visible in the night sky does Jirachi awaken from his slumber. And when he awakens this time at a traveling circus, he's got a whole new set of friends by his side: Ash, Pikachu, Max, and the whole gang. But soon, they must rescue Jirachi from the clutches of an evil magician and former scientist named Butler who wants to harness Jirachi's incredible energy to bring to life one of the most legendary and powerful Pokémon of all! Packed with nonstop thrills, high-energy action, and lots of surprises, POKÉMON: JIRACHI WISH MAKER is a wish come true for fans!

Amazon.com
The sixth Pokémon feature may well rank as the most satisfying entry in the series because the filmmakers avoid the overblown threats of the earlier films. Ash and Brock are joined not by Misty, but by May and her little brother Max, on a trip to a festival. Butler the magician and his assistant Diane introduce them to Jirachi, a wish-granting Pokémon that emerges every thousand years, when the Millennium Comet appears in the sky. Max and Jirachi quickly bond. Butler tries to exploit the energy Jirachi receives from the comet to regenerate an extinct Pokémon. He accidentally creates a monster that Ash, Max, and Jirachi have to defeat, but it's not the kind of world-threatening menace that throw the previous Pokémon features out of balance. Adults may find the film tedious, but Pokémon-playing children will enjoy it. (Not rated, suitable for ages 6 and older: minor cartoon violence) --Charles Solomon

Pokemon Movie #6- Jirachi, Wish Maker  
The sixth movie in the Pokemon series is as good as the ones before it; max, little brother of May, is given a mysterious geode by "The Great Butler", a magician traveling with the Millennium Comet Carnival. Butler explains that the rock contains Jirachi, a Pokemon that only appears every thousand years when the Millennium Comet passes overhead. Ash, Brock, and May watch Max bond with Jirachi, becoming fast friends in the week before the comet passes overhead. Trouble ensues as Butler kidnaps Jirachi, plotting to use the innocent creature to fulfill his twisted dreams of revenge.
The story is filled with moments that teach good, solid values to kids; the results of Max's first (greedy) wish, what negative emotions like revenge can do to normally nice people, and (as always) the values of Teamwork and Friendship. There's exciting action, great Pokemon battle scenes, the usual splendid artwork and more than a few laughs in what this reviewer feels is a great family movie, one you'll want to watch with your smaller Pokemon fan(s)!

An Hour and a Half of my Life I can Never Get Back  
This is part 7/10. "Jirachi Wish Maker" was, in my opinion, the worst Pokemon movie. Jirachi was so cute I wanted to get sick. I think the plot line was too little for a movie. The majority of the movie seemed to be made up of cutesy circus tricks and a fake Groudon waltzing about. Not one I'd recommend for someone over the age of 2.

The Most amazing Pokemon Movie Ever!  
This pokemon movie is amazing! It's about Ash, May, Max and Brock going to a fair that comes every thousand years. While there, they go to a magic show where Max hears Jirachi talking to him from a crystal! The magician lets Max keep Jirachi only to find out Jirachi stays for one week! During that week the gang finds out that the magician is evil and uses Jirachi to bring to life a legendary pokemon! It's a little sad for kids under the age of 7. Even I cried and I'm 11. But it's also funny, like when Max and Jirachi were in the tea cups and got dizzy.If you like pokemon you must get this movie.
