We directed the traffic from all the tools to the specially created website warner-films.ru/detectivepikachu, which offered a complete guide about the movie and its cute characters with the opportunity to watch exclusive videos and buy a movie ticket.

Warner Bros. created numerous videos starring fuzzy Pikachu and other pokémons that evoke nostalgia in adults and make children’s hearts melt.
