One Piece: Stampede
What's the Story?
When the world's most fearless pirates all gather for the Pirate Festival in ONE PIECE: STAMPEDE, the race is on to find Gol D. Roger's lost treasure. The Straw Hats, led by Captain Monkey D. Luffy (voiced by Colleen Clinkenbeard) are determined to claim the treasure for themselves. But it quickly emerges that the festival is in fact a plot to wipe out all the world's pirates.
Is It Any Good?
Even those unfamiliar with the hugely popular Japanese TV, comic book, or gaming series will find much to enjoy in the buccaneering adventure, One Piece: Stampede. The relentless action -- broken up by some amusing slapstick and one-liners -- is well choreographed with enough threat to keep tweens on the edge of the couch but not hiding behind it. The camaraderie between the Straw Hats and Luffy -- their well-rounded and likable leader -- remains genuine and warm.
The movie -- the seventeenth One Piece feature film -- has an abundance of characters outside of Luffy's central crew. While this can make keeping up with the various storylines tricky, each character brings something to the table, be it their own "super power" or comedic relief. A high-seas adventure that will make a big splash with tweens and early teens.
