The Pokemon Company announced that it will publish a new anime short starring Dragonite on Pokemon Day 2025. The movie will have the Japanese title “Kairyuu to Yuubinya-san,” which roughly translates to “Dragonite and the Mail Carrier.” We will be able to watch it on February 27, 2025.
Comix Wave Films will produce the animated movie, which will depict Dragonite as a mail carrier as it delivers mail by flying around the world. Dragonite will work with Hana, a Paldean girl striving to become an ace mail deliverer, to deliver a letter from Rio to the latter’s father who is working in Kanto.
Evan Call, the American composer known for his works on anime shows like Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End and Violet Evergarden, will produce the soundtrack for this Pokemon short animation. He will also collaborate with suis, the vocalist of the band Yorushika, to perform the animation’s theme song “Paper Airplane” in both Japanese and English. The Pokemon Company has also published pre-save pages for both the soundtrack and the theme song single on Spotify, YouTube Music, and Apple Music.
The Pokemon Company has been frequently publishing short animated movies to celebrate special days around the world. In late January 2025, it published a Lunar New Year-themed video starring the snake Pokemon Ekans and its evolution Arbok, which also fit the Year of the Snake as the Chinese zodiac of 2025.
The new short animation movie titled “Dragonite and the Mail Carrier” will be published on the 2025 Pokemon Day on February 27, 2025. The Pokemon Company will also release the title’s soundtrack on the same day.
