The popular
anime series
Yu-Gi-Oh! makes the jump from television to the big screen with the franchise's first feature film.
Yugi (voice of
Dan Green) is a boy who, like thousands of others, is a loyal fan of "Duel Monsters," a card game that's sweeping the nation.
Yugi joins many other players for a Duel Monsters tournament in Battle City, where they make a startling discovery -- the "Duel Monsters" cards have supernatural powers that have resurrected
Anubia, an evil leader from ancient Egypt. As it happens, one of
Yugi's ancestors was a pharaoh who vanquished
Anubia centuries before, and now the young man and his pals must use their skills with the cards to conquer the foe once again.
Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie arrived in American movie theaters in the summer of 2004, six years after the
Yu-Gi-Oh! television series (and its attendant flood of merchandise) made its debut in Japan.
