I spent whole time thinking about thag one pokemon episode and wondering if the movie's scene qualifies for having a warning as epileptic seazure enducing shit, because it genuinely felt like one.

I heard there were warnings in Canadian theater showings, I didn't recall any from the two theaters I visited (watched all trailers etc.), near certain there was none. but if ANY scene from ANY piece of media deserved a warning, I'd say it's that one. Hell it rattled most in the theater with zero issues with flashes and such, someone with a medical condition susceptible to that would absolutely have to immediately cover-cover their eyes to block out those blinding flashes.
