We're only days away from the premiere of Pokémon Detective Pikachu [2], and the full movie has already been leaked. The voice of Pikachu himself [3], Ryan Reynolds, alerted fans and Warner Bros. when he retweeted the link to the leaked screener [4] posted to YouTube under the channel "Inspector Pikachu."

Fair warning, the video probably isn't the Pokémon film that folks are expecting [9], since it's just a grainy looped clip of Pikachu — wearing his deerstalker cap like a true detective — dancing adorably for a full hour and 42 minutes. Congratulations, Pokémon fans, we've all been Rickrolled [10] Pikachu-style! The "pirated" upload of the movie even includes 60 seconds of what seems like an actual opening sequence, until it follows up with Pikachu's aerobics routine (which I unashamedly watched the entirety of).

Honestly, this is truly the kind of content we want and need. We bet even Blake Lively liked it better than Reynolds's last promo bit [11] for the film. If you can't find any joy in watching a CGI fluff-monster getting down to a throwback beat and doing the running man, I just don't know what to tell you. Fans pointed out that Pikachu's routine [12] is eerily similar to the one from Key & Peele's Aerobics Meltdown sketch [13], which prompted Jordan Peele to add his two cents [14].

The movie hasn't been released yet (it hits cinemas on May 10), but if it's anything like this "leak," we're pretty sure it's going to be a hit. Enjoy the dancing machine that is Detective Pikachu ahead!
