1:33 what tell me who you think you're gonna get here divergent yeah now we're in today i'm gonna make your nights three two one play oh it's digimon it's [ __ ] dangerous how did i not expect this i feel like maybe your imagination got carried away if you newspaper first may i add part one of this part for epic ensure anaconda was insane maybe in a bad way even no mad cap surrealism scary men are the champions some people wouldn't include this as part of the theatrical

2:19 release of what is known as tissue on the movie i disagree passionately this is part of the capsule the time capsule i would describe position i can't believe this is this long right it definitely overstays as welcome let me tell you about the thrill that is having a favorite movie unchanged since you were seven seven years old surprisingly the movies i've downloaded i don't think there's any of my favorite movies there because you're all trying to gank me with them i know what you're trying to get i know your game by picking movies you want to gank me whereas i just want to share the magical band channel that goes to digimon the movie with you yeah true i mean i you know i can't pick a favorite movie these are all very good and that's why it's such a joy to have

3:05 one so iconically from my childhood which i've also learned to love for adult reasons i found out that my my favorite director directed one of the pieces of this movie yeah i've learned a lot more about it from a production point of view i love the americanization and what they did to a bunch of japanese short films more than that later maybe oh angela's over did not miss her so that should sync them up oh erin you've paused do you know what's coming you know what's coming right which means a wrap of digital oh i forgot that you know this off you do the chorus i'll do the rap

3:50 digimon are the champions digi will did you buy some hand as a dynamic fast digi lamb with a digi past and digi present collide time to digi five digimon digital monsters digimon are the champions okay digital monsters digimon are the champions says there's no such thing as monsters so this is bizarre already from the front because these if anyone who doesn't know this is a collection of three short films or ovas they're babies this is a baby from a different movie baby digimon baby digimon

4:36 i don't remember this movie at all this is exciting then but of course because i three separated movies the beginning of the movie just tried to make a narrative of them yeah i found out this morning that was executive meddling oh they didn't want nobody creatively wanted these stories together instead ends up kind of with kyrie as the main character the young girl she's barely in the second part i see she spends if she's the main character this movie she spends the second part at a friend's birthday party with a pink power ranger okay are we doing a drinking game to this yes and it's gonna be very easy to do yeah whenever there is a good bit of pot rock

5:22 okay cool and it's frequently cheers two guys being guys are cheers dudes being dudes dude spin dudes it doesn't get much better than this sip into the mic i don't remember this little black digimon this is agumon isn't anyone that i saw this guy becomes another guy who becomes the dinosaur who becomes the big donovan oh who then becomes the big dinosaur in battle armor okay it's a circle of life so already the cute boat of mine has become a quite alarming scary yeah very scary um if i was in the cinema i'd cry and now it's become the face i got from alien i have watched these uh only last year

6:09 in the original language really yes worthwhile they are so drastically different they're more like sweet little short films yeah of course americanized they shove in a joke wherever they can there's a little bit more of a horror element this is shocking i would hate this to have it in my bedroom not only is that not again i now have a dinosaur in my room yeah and one who acts like a dinosaur not a fun digital friend this guy i thought he was littler than that just when each oh my god i still have my love of toddler main characters and animated features this little koala's here in the town love it being a public nuisance frankly with a little dinosaur

6:57 pepper blast you know that one from tishman rumble arena i do [ __ ] gets hit by enough what do you think his name is firebird no no no no digimon rules it's not pokemon rules very close this is paramount do you know what not far off that's the dude that's the news i'm graeme now why did they speak english i don't understand why does digital data manifest itself into a dinosaur and battle in the middle of japan because it's a different universe my

7:42 dude save the digital world i think it's time to pop up for me champions i mean there's another song playing yeah the digimon theme is on the official soundtrack and i would know because i've carried it with me for the last 20 years of my life and that was the end of parrotmon the short tenure of parrot one he's dead he's is this the second movie now he's long dead no no he's still on the first we get a shipping style time skip oh okay they go from being maybe five to being ten so that's when that's when [ __ ] start getting serious in anime left i see i see and with digi will and digivice in hand it turns out was the digi dynamic force digiland

8:29 what that's the plot four years later look at this effect just wait to see what the internet looks like oh look at the computer this whole movie is a gorgeous gorgeous collection of old tech that's why i really like it the plot of this is gorgeous a tiny internet virus has hatched out of an egg and says hello and then starts messing with our infrastructure and firing nukes it's a great grey premise and only the 10 year olds can deal with it yeah and not even all of them because kyrie's got to go to a friend's birthday party it's very cute power rangers i'd love the power ranger for my birthday i'll go back to you get me a pink power ranger for my birthday

9:15 it's not the year 2000. i don't give a [ __ ] that was my background on my computer for ages that's so cute but also oh my god it is cute you're right thank you to me okay we killed it again i love the song i have this song on my phone chickadee china the chinese chicken you get everyone's sticking your brain start sticking watching x-files with no lights on okay that's it it's a neopet it yeah well that was digimon yeah it's a neopet how many neopets are there we're not

10:00 focusing on diabolo man no i don't care about him i care about neopets that upsets me very much so i actually hear he is a neopet are you sure yeah where's he get a good look at him now here's the dude there's 55 newer pets by the way there's many more you underestimate digimon and the digimon how many digimon are there now there's a digimon show on right now and i'm just not even following there is yeah like no no no it's a new one there's a lot of dgmon yeah how many over 1 400 digimon what the [ __ ] i don't think you even knew there was that many no i i clocked out in 2005 over 1400 jesus christ i guess there were their day and they really die this just

10:46 gets reconfigurated so i mean i wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't millions yeah how many pokemon are there i don't again i have lost track of me would be disappointed how many pokemon are there hundred and ninety-five eight hundred ninety-five there's more digimon than pokemon has defroned pokemon digimon then pokemon than neopets everyone banked on the wrong horse in the 90s scout mundane you see her walking into the wall yeah she's lagging i'm kind of missing parrot on man that was the first and last time he made an appearance i'm over all these kids they've just shown up i'm over them well don't worry because we really don't have to focus on any of them for the run time true only do we trade them in some new kids afterwards but only four of them bothered to show up i just

11:32 want to see my little rabbit dude he's on the way he he breaks the vital rule of anime and attacks a mid transformation sequence it's it's unacceptable it breaks the code oh no the valor code i guess the valor code i guess because otherwise why are they allowed to take up 30 seconds of standing still connection terminated what every time i go to make a video yeah yeah but the cake's almost ready so way i mean that's a plus this is this is a b plot of the movie i [ __ ] love kate where the thai's mom is up to like in the kitchen carefree is actually a subplot of this and i love it did you want the movie made movie history why not only digimon movie

12:17 history uh movie history in general how it was the first time american voice actors like actually challenged the fact that we're not just dubbing a thing from japan we've basically made a new thing i see and i find that interesting because no one had ever had that conversation before in the industry that's terrifying by the way to get an email like that i'm close to him the villain is emailing you name another movie where the villain emails you he's no love machine but you know what he's invading america oh my god that's the worst thing you can do this cat is very interested in what's happening he's like oh he's passive no see he's following it all he's not a digital monster he's like

13:03 he's not a virtual friend he's a he's a flesh friend yeah a furry friend he's a real pet a real dude do you think he feels short-changed in this world can you imagine like if your cat digivolved yeah because of course there's been a family for a long time and sometimes when you're in a film class someone asks they go around the table doing introduction exercises actually icebreakers no i've had to come up with alternatives whenever someone asks actual film even when i'm with you people told me like oh so what's your favorite movie and i'm like i'm sweating because i'm trying to not say digimon so i'll say jurassic park or life a buy or seven samurai

13:48 one time i said space jam because i was trying to be a quirky [ __ ] first year okay leave me alone oh my god can you imagine like the thoughts going through your [ __ ] lecturer's head when you said spaceship he was an 80 year old man he was great there's three rounds to this battle and they happen in like 20 minutes in the space of less than 20. oh my god that's a lot that looks disgusting this is the internet in 2020 back during a pure internet which to be fair 2001 dial up no one had the [ __ ] patience to be toxic pricks you logged in you saw the trailer for the phantom menace

14:34 and you played some nickelodeon website games and then you know you logged off and did other things mini clip you battled diabolo on the net with your digimon friends of course now this section is actually kind of rough and intense did you ever have a neopet die no i did have a nintendog diet which is crazy because that's not even part of that game i had a neopet die it was very sad what did it do what was it was final words i think i just came food's back on and it was dead the food and then like i think i i think it actually locked you out for like a week it punished you if it died hey um ty and matt are about to do something out of this world wicked more juice izzy i just squeezed some onions

15:20 you squeezed some onions i'm way more interested in her subplot who the [ __ ] is drinking onion juice you need to get over the onion juice upload understand the fact that thai just became digital data from his computer screen and entered the internet yeah but sam i don't know how many times i have to tell you the data never dies it just gets reconfigurated their friendship was so strong he entered google chrome i'd like to see a digimon movie in the dark web in tour yeah at this point in the movie for reference and for aaron who has not been watching wargreymon and medical room on are absorbing the fans

16:05 you know no do you know where he is he's tinkerbell right now explain because in peter pan tinkerbell starts dying and everyone starts saying i believe there i believe in digimon i believe in fairies i do i believe in spam that's what this is right now this is gorgeous and the music this is peter pan the music is very very good and gets me pumped even to the states oh yeah the government the military are involved in the air force i have to get involved but that's what i mean did you want advice i don't know why are these kids like the ones trying to solve it and like but i don't think the government have digimon it doesn't matter they shouldn't do sam yeah actually make it make sense by the way conspiracy theory

16:51 we shouldn't rule out the the us government don't have digimon me on twitter aggressively tweeting tweet tweet tweet tweet tweet i mean this is just twitter in general present day wait till we go to this very natural transition card that was definitely supposed to be there the animation is different yeah it notably changes also yeah you're right none of this plot goes together no not one maybe the first and the second part did this one's just completely different i think the first one would be goes a prologue servings product because you know for a movie you want to introduce what did you want are yeah so the poor parents who got dragged along that reminds me let's look for reviews

17:38 of digimon the movie let's do it there's gotta be some gold on this demented website a video game barely desires design doesn't even make sense a video game barely designed you think he means disguised as a movie violent and the monsters are scary for younger children sorry about that he's young you can't call these guy dogs you can't be like oh hey i love your dog yeah he has no limbs i love the teriyam one is just telling all the other dudes a story they're just hanging out he's like showing him stuff he's like and i was a duck that's exactly the story he was telling me i can tell you now i don't understand

18:25 any adult that can't watch a children's movie and see it for the joy it is yeah i appreciate people who are enjoying it i'm 24 years old and i don't even give [ __ ] about the human characters i'm here for them or animal companions who are having the absolute most fun and just living their best life well you know what when when one digit revolution fails you just judge involvement yeah did she want to get did you all think again you know this guy too flame german the fire of courage gorgeous in this movie better than the ps2 gamer have you yeah yeah when this animation gets going it looks good lou limrick of the new york post writes after the monster is subdued then

19:11 there's a much less humorous and more mindlessly violent second half we are watching mindless monster violence i'm here for it oh he's got pants now but now he's like got a gun thing i guess and got guns for arms that's how digimon are different for pokemon okay firefox turns into firefox for standing up but teriman turns it to terrymom with gun arms he gets a gun gets gun he gets bulletproof armor there is no blood coming out of this [ __ ] who's this mysterious man that was a step yoda whoa oh my god yoda what are you doing here oh my god hello oh it's not yoda

19:57 sorry i apologize my feet are and shoes i not wear he's angry he's shout about something he's angry terrymon's brother sucks she has a lot of issues go back to therapy i'll be digging all over for you if i have to do every single quote to prove some kind of point i have i don't know what the point is but i don't know i like digimon the movie i guess i know that of course i tell everyone i know this is the part where our main characters like any story you know classic they use the golden armor energized of course and i do agree this movie is

20:43 transformative yeah it's basically a youtube poop it's an abridged series of digimons where they've added a bunch of jokes and changed it into silly voices it's a different plot but i'd say seven out of 10. fair enough in my own personal opinion because i do enjoy it for the little cute characters i give it a 10 out of 10. of course you do unironically um on imdb as a 6.1 out of 10. so just maybe like it's close to yours there go the credits farewell goodbye that is us next time for whatever you have in store for me oh i can't wait oh i can't wait i'm wary because you're oh you owe me a trouble i'm she's just said drunkenly that i'm
