  • Despite its flaws, the reviewer appreciates the soundtrack and fast-paced action of the English dub.

Intro

The reviewer expresses excitement about the original Digimon cast returning for a new season where the characters are grown up. To celebrate, the reviewer will be reviewing the first Digimon movie, which is actually a combination of the first three movies in Japan. The reviewer reminisces about the Digimon franchise, highlighting its origins as a Tamagotchi clone that allowed users to battle their digital monsters. The reviewer also touches on the Digimon vs. Pokémon debate, stating that while Pokémon has better games, Digimon has a better show due to its more three-dimensional characters and interesting concepts.

Angela Anaconda

The reviewer expresses frustration with the inclusion of "Angela Anaconda" at the beginning of the Digimon movie. "Angela Anaconda" is described as a short episode with awful characters, poor animation, and terrible jokes. The reviewer questions why this short was included, especially since the movie is already an abridged version of the original films.

Digi-Rap

The reviewer expresses his dislike for the promotional theme song with images sliding across the screen and a terrible rap. He hopes that the next scene will be good enough to redeem the movie.

Act One: Digimon Adventure

The reviewer explains that the English version of "Digimon: The Movie" is actually three stories from the original Japanese release stitched together. Act One, "Digimon Adventure," takes place before the events of the first season and shows how two of the original characters first meet a Digimon. This act was created as a pilot for the show and lacks some of the elements that made the show famous, such as the digivolution sequence.

Act Two: War Game

Act Two, "War Game," is considered the main feature of the movie because it has a plot that has a follow-up 30-minute OVA and connections to the show.

Act Three: Hurricane Touchdown

Act Three, "Hurricane Touchdown," is the only one that features the character Willis and is officially non-canon. The reviewer points out that the entire movie is technically non-canon because the three movies are stitched together for the English audience.

Digimon Adventure (Cont.)

The reviewer describes a scene where Tai's parents leave him and his sister Kari alone in the house. A Digimon emerges from Tai's computer and begins causing chaos. Another Digimon appears and starts fighting Greymon.

War Game (Cont.)

Four years later, a computer virus is causing havoc around the world, even affecting military computers. Tai, Izzy, and their Digimon team up to stop the virus. They recruit Matt and T.K. along with their Digimon. The Digimon digivolve but still fail to stop the virus. Tai and Matt are transported into the internet to help their Digimon. WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon DNA digivolve to Omnimon and defeat the virus before it can launch a nuclear missile.

Hurricane Touchdown (Cont.)

The reviewer introduces Willis, who explains that the virus, Diaboromon, was his doing. Diaboromon was created from a Digi-Egg that was affected by a virus. The new generation of DigiDestined goes on a road trip. The reviewer criticizes this act for its boring filler and lack of character development.

Hurricane Touchdown: Final Battle

The DigiDestined fight Diaboromon, but they are not strong enough. Cherubimon uses the virus to heal himself and reverse time. To stop the virus, Willis goes back in time to when the virus first attacked Kokomon. The new Digimon use the power of the Golden Digi-Eggs to digivolve to their mega forms and release the golden Digi-Egg. Pomon and Gatomon digivolve to their ultimate forms. They destroy the virus, and Kokomon is good again. Willis never returns in the shows or movies. The DigiDestined have a digi-destination, and everyone lives happily ever after.

Final Thoughts

The reviewer summarizes his thoughts on the movie. He criticizes the inclusion of "Angela Anaconda" and finds "Digimon Adventure" to be an okay OVA or pilot. He finds "War Game" to be decent but could have been more creative. He considers "Hurricane Touchdown" a huge disappointment, especially since it is not canon. The reviewer notes that the English version of the movie is the lowest point in the franchise because it doesn't cater to newcomers, the story doesn't make viewers care about the characters, and it comes off as a complete mess. Despite this, the reviewer prefers the sound direction in the English dub because it creates a sense of fast-paced action. He concludes that the movie is a bad cash-in but does some things right, just not enough to make it worth watching.

0:03 oh my God Digimon was my charger and to hear the original cast are coming back for the new season this time they're all growing up and I'm like what what and S TI better get together in this season because I Shi those two way before I even heard of the term shipping I'm C I'm G so to celebrate this amazing I will be reviewing the first Digimon movie or if you're in Japan movies 1 two and three three how an adventure three Digimon Digital Monsters a franchise with a concept so terrifyingly awesome you will send a letter to Google that they will never read to ask them to invest in making their own Digimon started out as

0:48 a tamagachi clone and a fine good one you can raise them and clean up their poop but one thing you could do with Digimon that tamaga was lacking was the ability to use them to kick the crap out proud of each other with the toys catching on Bandai gave us something that ended up being better than the toys the Digimon TV show then the mon Wars started Digimon rules Pokemon is so much better digimon's off a champion Pokemon for Life Digimon for the win hey ain't you the same person I'm going to come out and say this right now Pokémon has better games but Digimon has a better show the characters are more threedimensional they all have a purpose and not just setting out to be the best the concept is more interesting and the battles actually feel epic If Only They released all the good games outside of

1:35 Japan but you know the biggest selling point they all age but Digimon isn't perfect and to celebrate Digimon tribe being released in the coming weeks I will be reviewing the lowest point in the franchise's history so let's check it out this is Digimon the movie so we open up with what Angela Anaconda this is part out of it I get the idea that cinemar like to have a short before their movies but this liveaction Cinderella has frozen forever Ice Age 4 had the longest daycare Digimon the movie has Angela and aanda the first time I saw this was on VHS Angela anakonda was before the digima

2:20 movie but VHS is like to do what the cinemas did trailers short then movie but imagine my shock when I RI the DVD to find this at the very beginning of the movie the movie is already in a bridge version of the fre films so why bother filling up the movie with this crap why not use more footage from the original source to find out I recently called the head of the now defun Fox kids network to find out hi is this haiman yes hi um why did you put Angela and the car at the start of the digim movie hello hello hello hello thei so how do I explain Angela and

3:05 aanda [Applause] um this is Angela aanda so the kids are waiting for the Digimon movie to begin and that's pretty much it Angela imagines herself turning into a digimon to stop the evil teacher for blocking a view and it's just a shorter episode compared to the actual show and thank God because this show is awful characters with less personality than a carbo box animation that Phoenix games would be embarrassed at and jokes that makes two and a half's men's final episode look like a masterpiece goodbye Angela and aanda you will never be missed no one stopped watching Fox kids

3:52 after you left finally let's begin oh my completely forgot about this dig you puns with pengon penu ping um these types of images sliding across the screen and beat with a terrible rap first we had South parks in Brad's sister and now we have a promotional theme song that even Will Smith will be embarrassed at okay unless the very next scene is so kickass andly awwesome and I'm out so come on DJ one remind me why I loved you as a

4:38 child [ __ ] me as a dinosaur fighting a parrot when everything else before I let you down here's a dinosaur FAL parrot M so we begin 8 years ago just as a Digi egg is coming out of Tai and car's computer K who is narrating tells us that as this is happening some kid called Willis was receiving his Digi egg at the exact same time so who is Willis why does he matter it turns out he doesn't remember I said that in Japan these movies are one two and three well Digimon the movie or at least the English version is actually three stories from the original Japanese release stitched together Act One Digimon Adventure takes place before the

5:25 events of adventure 01 where two of the original characters first meet a digimon this was created as a pilot for the show hence why it won't have some of the aspects that made the show famous like the digivolution sequence act two a war game is really the main feature of this movie because there is a plot that has a follow-up 30 minute OVA and connections to the show act three hurricane touchdown the only one that has the character Willis in it is officially non-cannon so throughout the entirety of this movie all we keep hearing about is some kid called Willis who is only connected to the last movie Hurricane touchdown so technically because the free movies are stitched together for the English audience technically the

6:11 entire movie is non-canon I just blew your mind therefore victory is mine ah Ty I'm going to the health food store take care of your sister parent of the Year ladies and Gentlemen Just leaves the kids in the house with the door unlocked and yes I know Japan is considered the safest country in the world in terms of crime but who leaves a seven-year-old son with a scalon frying pan they take care of the Digimon but can't seem to control him as araman makes a mess on the street with KI on his back for some reasons unexplained

6:57 another Digimon comes from the sky begins fighting Greymon I'm Greymon now Greymon and um I don't know his name let's just call him parrot man oh come on really really after their battle they disappear Without a Trace I like how there are kids watching this and no adults are wait or come to see the noise even as the Sun is up what the [ __ ] happened here how is it possible that this has yet to be reported wait please no oh God my [ __ ] car we cut to 4 years later where a computer virus is Wrecking Havoc all across the world and even affecting military computers to force a launch of their

7:43 nuclear missiles Digimon is a familyfriendly movie right it's up to Tai Izzy araman and tenton to take it down but faster than you can say prodigious araman and tenton fail and so they must recruit some of their old friends Matt and T K along with gaman and padan Doran keeps saying he's looking for his creator and through lazy localization scripting Willis comes out to say he feels guilty as this is his fault again tied into the fact that Willis only connects these threee stories through the English dub Gman and araman walk dig evolve and still fell as the emails coming from all across the world are slowing him down so through the power of believe Ty and M get transported into the internet to be by their Digimon side why why doesn't

8:29 dear Borman take them out he's got millions of clear shots so shall we take them out nah what are they going to do H that's going to really kick him in the ass war greymond and metal guman DNA digal to omnimon through the power of hope and [Music] love oh crap we should have took them out no really omnimon manages to take de Borman just in time before the missile destroys Japan my speedboat I just finished paying it off with my inheritance you you saw what happened here right no sir I just got here [ __ ] you're going to be my witness

9:15 for my insurance sir you're hurting me damn this part of the movie was so good I wish Digimon were real maybe they are real if this movie has taught me anything is that I have to believe okay ponymon it's time to dig evolve digol but what us are you to me then in act three we finally meet Willis who's been intact by one of his twin Digimon Willis explains that de Borman was his doing as he created a Digi egg in hopes of getting more Digimon the gritty bastard I didn't even have one and he was a third how selfish is he hello is

10:03 anyone in there look sorry to bother you but I was just involved in a car crash and and can I use your phone go away you filthy peasants before the Dig could hatch it was affected by a virus and somehow while in the field without computers or any form of Internet the virus tracks down Willis and affects one of his Digimon as the saddest story I ever dude are you okay I'm the one with the problem not you get over it okay do you have multiple personality disorder we have a bit of a road trip with the new generation of digiant and that's pretty much it unless you watch the show the characters don't

10:48 have any personality that you would be able to notice the F out is just filled with boring filler and character development that you would need an expensive magnifying glass to be able to find mind hello I've watched both Generations before this movie and I know the characters well enough but even I don't care for them Twilight got me more invested in the characters than this third act Twilight Twilight so cocon Ariz and we get more and I never thought I would say this boring fighting head the work Angel oh come on you really need to declare a defense move do they declare

11:36 everything they do in their daily lives open the French drink some Pepsi write the oh shut up God but they ain't strong enough so cemon takes the digit one one by one until cemon uses the virus to heal himself and reverse time no they don't explain their ability to affect time and space Just go with it it's nearly over to try and stop the virus from completely corrupting it will is back to the beginning do you mean go back to Colorado it means go back in time to when the virus first attacked cocon that's it what did you

12:21 say there's no doubt about it he definitely said [ __ ] that's my job we don't have Str to him the new dig will have to use the power of the golden Digi eggs come on we have the digal to our mega form so we can release the golden Digi egg holy [ __ ] has happening see only I can see [ __ ] the only Digimon 2 Digi evolve to the ultimate forms were the popular ones we finally get to see Pon and gaman to the ultimate forms so and woman get so they used the last of their strengths to release the golden Digi do the digi

13:07 ponds ever Digi stop Digi hell with the ability to golden armor digivolve and the point in time where the virus affecting Pokemon is at its weakest stage they bring him down to his normal form kind of like how greymond did evolve to his evil form skull greymond in adventure one but you wouldn't know that unless you're a fan of the show so for you know this could be him dead so they take down [ __ ] by destroying the virus thanks to very simple instructions destroy the pirate no [ __ ] Sherlock Manon kemon is good again Willis never returns into the shows or movies the digi Destin have a digication and we all live happily ever after so that was Digimon the movie

13:55 without being a biased Digi fan what do I think of it Angelo and aanda why is this even here Digimon Adventure is okay as a standalone OVA or as a pilot it serves its purpose our war game it was decent enough although they could have been more creative with it they were in the internet after all why not open websites to assist in battle like PornHub all you need to do is find a penis to flick and wave AO it did however bring up an interesting point like if an enime acted fast enough could they interrupt a dig Evolution turns out they could and for fans that was awesome to see hurricane touchdown a huge huge disappointment especially learning it's not cannon in the Japanese versions Willis is only mentioned and seen in the

14:40 third act and it wasn't Canon interesting fact it's established in the show if a digimon dies in the real world they stay dead but because the third Act is non- Canon it follows different rules and kemon who dies at the end of the story comes back as a Digi egg in the real world guess the idea of monsters coming out of the computer was too dark for children Digimon as a whole is a great idea for a show the toys and tamigi like dig vies were a neat idea which helped spawn the show and although it was mainly created to help sell more toys it was still pretty good it may be considered very corny and does have flaws but it does have a charm to it that makes Digimon as a whole very memorable however the English version of

15:25 this movie is the lowest point in the franchise it doesn't cater to newcomers which was the English Dub's intention the story doesn't make us care for these characters regardless if you're a fan of the show or not and overall it comes off as a complete mess now I may get a lot of negative comments about this but in my opinion but my opinions this why you're here for all right as much as the soundtrack is M for includ in random pop songs The Sound Direction in the English St in my opinion is a lot better the original Japanese sounds a lot more quiet and while it's argued that the purpose was to create a movie intense atmosphere I think the sense of fast-paced action suits this movie and franchise a lot better and it gives the plot a sense of urgency and it makes it

16:12 more exciting yes there are way too many pop songs and it could have been substituted for more original Orchestra pieces because if they had the budget for the licenses I'm sure they had enough to make their own after watching the English and then the Japanese version of each OVA I did didn't fail the same excitement and enjoyment I did from the English because of how dull and quiet the sound effects and music was at [Music] [Applause] [Music] times he's too strong for our Digimon now then they're just going to have to dig again digim

17:01 not so fast better faster is that the coolest thing you've ever seen your what no the coolest thing I've ever seen in my life is a dinosaur fight and a parrot overall a bad cashing but it does some things right just not enough to make it worth watching thank you digid Destin for watching my Digimon review and remember remember guys to keep on being awesome see you later guys you know A wise man once said to me uh I can't remember I was too drunk at the time but thank you so much for watching you have no idea how much this means to me but you know what will certify you for being 100% awesome is if
