Synopsis Spoilers: You've been warned
The movie starts out quite a while after the end of the TV series. Eriol is long gone and his house has been demolished to make way for a new theme park. While that was going on, a long lost Clow card got loose from amongst the floor boards after being left there alone for a very long time. All the characters have aged a bit and look somewhat different. Sakura notes in her diary that Shaoran has grown a bit taller.
Shaoran and Mei-lin come up for a holiday while Sakura and the rest of the gang are still in school, albeit preparing for a festival including play in which Sakura is playing the lead. But Sakura's cards start to mysteriously disappear, along with some item or area of town. Essentially, this happens every time Sakura is about to tell Shaoran that she loves him too.
The whole thing comes to a head when the play is going on - the long lost card calls most of the remaining cards that Sakura still has, causing everyone in the audience and much of the town to vanish. Sakura, Shaoran, Kerobos and Yui go off after the card in a dizzying show of animation until a final showdown which is resolved in a very "CCS"-manner. (Dave Baranyi)
Review Before I get into any details about the movie, I'd like to make a couple of suggestions. First of all, if you haven't seen any of the CCS TV series, Movie 2 won't make a lot of sense and this really isn't the place for you to start. Second, if you haven't seen the end of the CCS TV series, this still isn't the place for you to start, because it will ruin the enjoyment of the end of the TV series and you won't really understand why what is going on is important. Finally, if you have seen the entire TV series, you absolutely must see this movie.
(synopsis)
I'll leave the details for you to see yourself, but I'm quite satisfied with the ending to the movie and the way the movie completes the series.
Now for something entirely different. I'm guessing that either the Producers of the movie, or CLAMP or both decided that Movie 2 was a bit too serious, so instead of inserting extraneous humor, they adding a short film worthy of the great days of Warner Brothers animation in the 40's and 50's. "Leave it to Kero-chan" is a totally "Loony Toons" short, in which Kero-chan and Suppi get into a fight over one last octopus ball, which flies out the window, displaces a look-alike "super ball" and sends Kero-chan and Suppi off into a madcap chase throughout town. This short should be used in animation schools to show how comic animation should be done. (Dave Baranyi)
