This film was released on March 3, 2007, and has been highly praised among the One Piece film series. Below, we will explain in detail the appeal and reviews of this film. The appeal of the storyThe story of "ONE PIECE Episode of Alabasta: The Desert Princess and the Pirates" is based on the "Alabasta Arc" of the original work. In this arc, the Straw Hat Pirates visit the Alabasta Kingdom and fight with Princess Vivi to save the country from crisis. In particular, Luffy and his friends' struggle to protect Vivi's hometown and the fierce battle scene with Crocodile are known as moving scenes for fans of the original work. The film condenses this moving story into a limited time of 90 minutes, while still capturing the essence of the original work. It deeply moves the audience by depicting the bond between Vivi's father, King Cobra, and her childhood friend Koza, as well as the courage and friendship of Luffy and his friends as they protect their people. In addition, the fight against Crocodile emphasizes Luffy's growth and strength, building up excitement for the story's climax with a visual impact. Character AppealIn this movie, the Straw Hat Pirates' characters play an active role while making the most of their individual personalities. In particular, Luffy's leadership and attitude that values friendship, Zoro's calmness and strength, Nami's wisdom and kindness, Usopp's courage, Sanji's kindness and fighting power, and Chopper's purity and growth are depicted and leave a deep impression on the audience. Vivi's strong will and love for her people are also depicted as central to the story. Enemy characters such as Crocodile and Nico Robin are portrayed with the same charm as in the original, and Crocodile's ruthlessness and strength are especially highlighted in comparison to Luffy. The personalities of Baroque Works members such as Bon Clay and Mr. 1 are also well-drawn in the film, adding depth to the story. The appeal of video and musicThe visuals of "ONE PIECE Episode of Alabasta: The Desert Princess and the Pirates" faithfully reproduce the worldview of the original work, while also possessing the power and beauty that only a movie can offer. In particular, the desert scenery of Alabasta and the battle scene with Crocodile are depicted with realistic expressions using computer graphics, drawing the audience into the world of the story. In addition, thanks to the skills of character designer and animation director Inoue Eisaku, the characters' expressions and movements are carefully drawn in detail, conveying emotional movements realistically. The music is also an important element that enhances the appeal of this film. The music, created by a stellar team including Tanaka Kohei, Hamaguchi Shiro, Iwasaki Fuminori, Maruo Minoru, and Sawaguchi Kazuhiko, builds up emotions as the story progresses, deeply moving the audience. In particular, Kawashima Ai's voice, who sings the theme song "Compass," resonates beautifully, as if symbolizing Bibi's feelings, further deepening the emotion of the story.
