In the first feature based on the popular series, Sakura wins a trip to Hong Kong. Her father is away on business, so she goes with Toya, Yukito, and Tomoyo. Hong Kong is the home of her classmate and sometime ally Li Shaoran and his obnoxious cousin Meilin, and the cast is soon reunited. Clow Reed, the wizard who invented the magical Clow Cards, also lived in Hong Kong, and his presence lingers there in the memory of the redoubtable sorceress Madoushi. Although Li Shaoran, his beautiful mother, and Kero offer their assistance, Sakura uses her inner resources to defeat Madoushi, a more powerful and evil foe than any of the Cards. This longer adventure preserves the qualities that have won the series so many fans, and it's more entertaining in the subtitled Japanese version than in the clunky English dub. Unrated; suitable for ages 9 and up: Violence. --Charles Solomon

Rating:  - It Goes On (And on, and on, and...)
Though there have been several anime series that have had some form of success in America, the show that should have been the biggest thing for girls since Barbie should have been "Cardcaptor Sakura." An adorable show about a girl trying to reclaim powers that have been (accidently) let loose, the show came to America as "Cardcaptors," and the poor quality of the dubbing, re-writes, and changed music resulted in the American public giving the show a collected shrug of indifference. "Cardcaptor Sakura's" future in America was ruined, but not before the movies came out. The first movie arrived as "Cardcaptors: The Movie," and it was just as quickly dismissed for it's poor quality. Thankfully, the uncut version found it's way to America as "Cardcaptor Sakura: The Movie," and the world would get one more chance to discover why Hollywood retired the title "The Movie" many years ago.
Taking place somewhere between episodes 34 and 35, "Cardcaptor Sakura: The Movie" revolves around Sakura as she and her friend Tomoyo win a trip to Hong Kong. In Hong Kong they run into rival/love interest Li Syaoran and his bratty fiancé Meiling. This sets up an hour of Sakura meeting Li's sisters, mother, and butler. The longer running time for the movie also provides viewers with a chance to watch the characters shop more then they normally would. Throughout the first hour of the film there is some question whether or not Sakura's winning the trip was really "by chance," as some evil power looms over them ... Read More
Rating:  - Don't be fooled by the cuteness factor; boys love it...
My boys love this movie, but it is also a hit for playdates when girls come over. It is one of the few things they can agree on. The messages seem positive, for an action cartoon.
Rating:  - cardcaptor movie
this movie is cool. i like it alot for any true ccs fans i recommend u to watch this.. plus this is the show's first movie
Rating:  - The First Cardcaptor movie
I started watching Cardcaptors before the movie was originally released. I was unsure whether the film would fit in with the overall story.
When I did get to watch it I found it ws just as good as the TV series. It has a good plot and provides a nice break from watching Sakura capturing Clow Cards!!
Rating: - one word " breath taking" hang on thats two words... Sorry.. lol
I am collecting the cardcaptor sakura dvds and have only have 3 left to go the last two of the series and the sealed card, I love this movie!!! I love cardcaptor sakura!!!! As other anime fans will say again its best to watch the japanese version... the english is well... poorly dubbed to say the least also.. well...you dont get the same feel... the same tension and emotion in the voices it seems more real in japanese.
I liked cardcaptors when I was on tv but when i saw my first episode of Cardcaptor sakura, thanks to the advice of fellow anime fans, I fell in love with it! hehe I am not that taken by the dub... infact i crindge at it now... though I not against it and find myself watching the ones I taped now and again..
