"Pokemon Heroes" airs on Cartoon Network

[Dogasu]

Cartoon Network will air the fifth Pokemon movie, "Pokemon Heroes," at 11:00am on Tuesday, January 3rd. I believe this is the first time the network has aired this movie, and it's the only movie that CN hasn't aired.

*Wonders why Toonami/CN haven't aired any movies at all over here....*

I've been wondering about that too. Destination Friday would have been a great opportunity to show the AG movies, especially once they started showing Advance Battle.

11 am? What time zone?

I would have thought that any movie would be available to them. If they are in America, the rights must surely be easily attainable to the UK subsidiary of the company. Afterall, no-one has ever aired a Pokemon movie here except for the Sky Movies channels.

As far as I'm aware the rights aren't held by anyone at all and since Toonami/CN basically have all the available episodes of Pokemon liscenced to them now I don't see why they wouldn't want to air some of the movies here either. Especially as 6 and 7 don't seem to be ever getting a DVD release in the UK.
