Pokémon the Movie: Secrets of the Jungle is a 2020 Japanese anime film based on Satoshi Tajiri's Pokémon media franchise and produced by OLM. It is the twenty-third film in the Pokémon the Movie Series and the fourth film in the Alternate Timeline and the only one in the Journeys film series, covering Generation VIII. The film returns to the series’ traditional 2D art style rather than using the CGI animation used in Mewtwo Strikes Back: Evolution. It features the new Generation VIII Mythical Pokémon Zarude and a shiny Celebi. It's a sequel to Pokémon the Movie: The Power of Us.
In Japan, the film was released on December 25, 2020, by Toho. The original release date of July 10, 2020, was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Japan. The film released worldwide (excluding Japan, Korea and China) on Netflix on October 8, 2021.
For a limited time, if players of Pokémon Sword and Shield preordered tickets for this film's premiere, they would receive the Mythical Pokémon Zarude in its "Dada" form and a Shiny Celebi. As of 2020, this is the most recent and final Pokémon anime movie to be produced and released, as The Pokémon Company has not made plans for anymore new Pokémon anime films since.
