Called " Pikmin Short Movie ", Cinra (via Kotaku ) reports Miyamoto made the decision to create the film after he wasn't fully satisfied with all the things he managed to explore in the games. The upcoming flick will be comprised of three episodes called "Midnight Juice," "The Treasure Inside the Bottle," and "One Tough Day."As you'd expect, Pikmin Short Movie will be created using CG and support 3D viewing. It's set to make its debut at next month's Tokyo International Film Festival where, with any luck, someone may pick up international distribution rights and help the rest of the world see it.IGN reviewed Pikmin 3 back in July. Miyamoto initially teased the possibility of DLC back in July, short before the US release of Pikmin 3. The first content pack, called ‘Collect Treasure!” was released in early October , with another coming shortly after in November
