POKEMON COCO Theatrical Release Postponed Because of COVID-19

Pokémon was planning on releasing their next film Pokémon Coco in theaters this summer on July 10. Unfortunately, that was before COVID-19 happened. Now, the official website states the film’s release will be delayed. There’s no word on when Pokémon Coco will release now, but hopefully it won’t be too much of a delay.

Coco is a young boy raised by a Pokémon. This summer, an all new bond between a Pokémon and a human will be born.

In the depths of a jungle in the middle of nowhere…We find Okoya Forest, a Pokémon paradise operating with strict laws, where outsiders are not permitted to set foot. In this forest, young Coco was raised as a Pokémon by the mythical Pokémon Zarude. Coco is fully convinced that he is a Pokémon, but when he one day meets Satoshi and Pikachu, he's able to make his first ever "human friend".

Am I a Pokémon? Or am I a human?

When danger approaches Okoya Forest, the love between a Pokémon and a human, a father and a son, is put to the test.

The above synopsis from Serebii reminds me a lot of the plot from “The Kangaskhan Kid” episode in the original anime. It should be rather interesting as a movie.
