Movie 3 Chopper's Kingdom on the Island of Strange Animals
BRIEF STORY
The Straw Hats arrive on Crown Island, where a rumoured great treasure is hidden on. As they make their way there, Chopper is unfortunately separated from the crew. He meets a boy named Mobambi and soon, for one reason or another, Chopper is hailed as the new Animal King of the island. Somewhere else on the island is another group of people: Count Butler, General Hotdog, and President Heaby, who seek the treasure for themselves. It turns out the treasure is the great power contained within the horns of the Animal King. And so, a great battle between Butler’s group and the Straw Hats begins as Butler relentlessly pursues the power of the Animal King. (synopsis from wikia, edited a bit by me)
Strangely as it is, Chopper is part of the crew, BUT neither Robin nor Vivi are present. I am pretty sure the story should have taken place during the crew's voyage with Vivi - it was hinted Chopper just became a crewmember, which was the time Vivi was also present on the crew. Maybe they didn't include her because she didn't become the crew's permanent companion.... still, I think many people would have loved to see her there.

MOMENTS
00:10
Nami found a great map to the Crown Island with the rumoured Crowning Treasure in it. Zoro is the first one to comment on it. Nami then confirms to him the island where the treasure is, is indeed called Crown Island.

While the crew is trying to find Chopper and the Crowning Treasure, they run into three men who seem to have information on the later one of it. Nami, being the curious one as ever, asks them about it. After seeing her, one of those men then immediately approaches her. Zoro is not surprised by this man's action, but he looks rather annoyed about it.
In the next moment when Nami gets all excited about them possibly getting closer to treasure, she jumps up in joy. Her behaviour however puts both Zoro and Usopp in a moment if sighing; with Zoro even scratching his head profusely by his crewmember's never ending treasure-hunting behaviour.
53:05
All is well, ends well. The crew didn't get the Crowning Treasure, but they got another treasure... here is a very nice moment between Zoro and Nami. Not only is Zoro seen to be the only one sitting close to Nami, he also listens to her and follows up with his own addition. Unlike her, he doesn't need the gold-kind of treasure, he is happy with the treasure in the form of Chopper and even asked her whether that wasn't enough?
And surprise surprise, after Chopper realized who Zoro was talking about (+ some more talking), everyone all smiled about this, Nami included. I think she caught Zoro's and other's drift and was also happy for the fact they all got their treaure Chopper back ^^
55:24, 55:38
In the ending credits, we can see Zoro and Nami standing next to each other, looking all sexy as ever........ well, honestly said, their body figure is weird all over again, but whatever xD
What can I say... I thought either Vivi or Robin would be in this movie, considering after Vivi travelled with the crew, Robin immediatelly replaced her. It would have been cool if Vivi was in a non-canon movie though, I think it would add an interesting spice to the story.
Overall, it was an OK movie for me. It was foreseeable (very) but I liked Zoro's and Sanji's fight against their opponents (I can totally hear all those ZoSan fans cheering now...haha), it was an interesting match. Not that many ZoNami moments, but the end with Zoro sitting close to Nami and following up on what she was saying was really great; and it goes to show they can also agree with each other, especially the part where Zoro implied Chopper is their treasure and Nami smiled.
