Featured reviews
I've seen this movie numerous times, and found it to be an interesting part of the Digimon storyline. However, not every part of this movie was worth writing home about. While the first two segments expanded on plots mentioned in the TV show, the third movie was one big void. No episode since then has mentioned the events of that segment, and it's the only part of the movie that we don't know when it takes place. We know the first part takes place 4 years prior to Season 1, and the events of this segment are shown in flashbacks during the episode "Return to Highton View Terrace." We also know that the second part of the film takes place shortly after Season 1, although the events after the last episode of Season 1 have not been clarified, so we don't have an exact point of reference. Finally, the third part seems to have just been thrown in to show the Season 2 cast, pre-Ken's conversion to the good side.
Now that I've finished that part, I'd like to say that the second segment, called "Our War Game" in Japan, was my favorite part. Even if the concept was a bit hokey (It's Digimon, the whole concept is hokey if you think about it.), it still was written extremely well. It also answered the question we've all been asking: "When will someone attack them while they're Digivolving?" All in all, I rate the segments of this film as follows: Favorite: Segment 2 "Our War Game", followed by Segment 1 (can't remember the title in Japan), and then Segment 3 (also can't remember the title!).

I've been a fan of Digimon Adventure and Zero Two for about four years now, and when I heard they were coming out with a movie in America for it I got excited.
So when I finally saw it, it was somewhat of a letdown. Sure, the movie has its funny parts, but it was too changed from the original Japanese versions that it just can't really compare. For one, the three "parts" don't really have anything to do with each other. They're three separate movies in Japan (and there was a fourth one later that never made it's way to the US), and they should have stayed that way. Plus, chunks were left out of the movie to cut down on time, parts that were rather important to understanding the plot as a whole. Some of the jokes were funny, but some were quite stupid, and of course a lot of them portrayed Daisuke (Davis) as being more stupid than he was shown in the Japanese version.
However, I understand that many people cannot understand raw Japanese, and as of yet there is no official subtitled version legally released, so if you enjoy Digimon and are looking for a good laugh, I would still recommend this movie. Though I admit I enjoyed the four Japanese movies better than this one, it's still a movie I found good enough to go out and buy and watch from time to time. It's cute, it's fun, and how can you not enjoy a movie about a bunch of kids and their pet digital monsters trying to save not just one, but the best of two worlds?

For those of you who think Digimon rips off Poke'mon guess what?DIGIMON CAME FIRST!Although Poke'mon appeard here in america first,it was Digimon that came first in Japan where it all started,so Poke'mon is the rip off!Anyway,about the film.This is a good movie,with some great action,poor comedy,and some of the best drama found,and unlike most movies of a show,this one is linked with the Tv series,I recommend this,and the show to anybody,you'll like it,if you don't,better call for some help,if you know what I mean whacko!
Except for the previews for several horrible kid movies and an excruciating ten minute Angela Anaconda short, Digimon: The Movie was a great film!
I think that my friend and myself were the only people in the theatre who understood it, as the little kids and their parents probably had no idea what was going on or why. It's a deeper movie than I expected, and hard to understand if you haven't been following the TV show to become acquainted with the characters and their world.
The animation is great and fun to look at, there's a lot of comedy, interesting characters and rad monsters. I was surprised to find there was even a little poop.
If you're a fan of the show, you'll probably love every second of the movie, although a lot of it is apt to fly right over little kids' heads.

I really can't bring myself to insult this movie as it got me into anime. Actually, to rephrase that, it got me interested in the idea of anime: Akira got me into PROPER anime.
As for the film, it is actually pretty good. Digimon is one of those anime series that, while aimed at younger audiences, is actually very enjoyable. There are funny moments, and the fight scenes are cool without being too violent.
The film is split into three loosely linked sections, the first really just setting the story up, but containing a cool fight scene at the end. The second part is the longest and most enjoyable: it features Tai and Izzy trying to stop a Digimon with a virus that has taken over the internet. This section contains the best jokes and interaction between the characters, and has a good plot and animation. The third part I didn't like so much, but for the record is takes place later, and deals with the aftermath of what happened, this time set in the USA.
Obviously, Digimon: The Movie is just a kids picture, and the animation and plot are pretty basically, but it will be enjoyed by fans of the series, children who are into anime, scifi, etc. and even my more mature (i.e. older!) anime fans like myself who just want a fun little film to pass the time with.

- TriviaWhen the Digi-Egg emerges from the computer in the first part, the text in the background is from Psalm 109.
- GoofsThe Lopmon and Terriermon featured on the cover and poster art were drawn incorrectly. Some errors include wrong colorings, swapped markings, an incorrect number of horns, and incorrect shading.
- Quotes
[Giant Agumon leaps over a passing truck]
Man 1: Whoa! Did you see that?
Man 2: No, I was sleeping.
Man 1: But you're driving!
- Crazy creditsIn the Japanese version of segment 2: An hour glass mouse pointer is seen. Then a Windows computer screen with a window open on the right side appears. As the credits go by on the left side of the screen, images flash by in the open window. They are: TK and the old couple, Matt getting a hair cut, Joe after his test, Mimi and her family surrounded by bags, Kari and the group of friends at the birthday party, TK and Matt's grandma, random tinted yellow flashes of everyone who sent e-mails (including Yolei and Ryo), Tai's mother sitting at the kitchen table looking at the cake she baked, Izzy leaving Tai's appartment, All the digimon happy with Gennai, and Sora e-mails Tai back. The e-mail reads "Taichi, I'm so sorry. Let's forget it happened. Thanks... Sora." Sora smiles and The mouse pointer closes the open window then shuts down the computer. The screen goes black.
- Alternate versionsThe ABC Family and Toon Disney broadcast premieres removed the 4-minute intro with Angela Anaconda before the 20th Century Fox logo sequence, and replaced the Fox Kids logo between the 20th logo sequence and the opening credit sequence with the Saban International logo. 20th Century Fox is owned by the News Corporation in which it and Haim Saban, in 2001, sold what Fox Family became ABC Family, including what Saban Entertainment became BVS Entertainment and what the Fox Kids International channels became Jetix in 2005, to the Walt Disney Company.
