Pokémon’s Exceptional Dragonite Anime Short Has Finally Been Dubbed
Pokémon: Dragonite and the Special Delivery, an acclaimed anime short produced by CoMix Wave Films, has finally received an English dub and is now available to watch for free on YouTube. The animated short, which originally premiered in Japanese early last year, runs approximately 14 minutes in length.
The story follows Hana, a young girl from the Paldea region who aspires to become a mail carrier, inspired by her hero Dragonite. When she discovers a letter with no address, she takes it upon herself to deliver it to its intended recipient. The short showcases the studio’s exceptional animation quality that garnered praise upon its original release.
The English dub release marks an important step in making the content accessible to western audiences. While some viewers may have preferred the option to watch the original Japanese version with official English subtitles, the new dub is reportedly well-executed and is likely to appeal particularly to younger viewers who form the core of Pokémon’s audience.
The release on YouTube makes the content freely accessible to anyone with an internet connection, expanding its reach beyond those who may have caught the original Japanese release. This move demonstrates The Pokémon Company’s commitment to sharing high-quality animation content with its global fanbase and showcasing the talents of production partners like CoMix Wave Films.
