Intro

The video introduces the topic of the first Digimon Adventure movie, which is a prequel to the series. It was originally a standalone Japanese movie, later adapted into the first third of the English Digimon movie. The hosts aim to discuss the short film, acknowledging its role as an unaired pilot and addressing the differences between the Japanese and English versions.

Beginning

The movie starts with Paramount causing destruction, followed by a narration about meeting Digital Monsters. The English dub adds narration by Kari, while the original Japanese version has minimal narration. The scene transitions to Tai noticing Kari staring at his dad's computer, which is displaying strange activity. An egg emerges from the computer, setting the stage for the arrival of their Digimon partner.

The Egg

The next morning, Tai and Kari are left alone, and Kari is seen with the egg. Tai cooks breakfast, creating a humorous moment about whether he would cook the egg. Kari communicates through whistles, and the egg rolls around until it hatches into Botamon. Botamon interacts with Tai and Kari, blowing bubbles that float out the window and are noticed by people in the city.

Coromon

The scene cuts to Tai and Kari wondering what to do with Botamon. Kari wants to keep it, but Tai is hesitant. The phone rings, producing static and flashing lights, indicating the presence of digital phenomena. Botamon digivolves into Coromon, who starts eating, much to the displeasure of the cat, Miko. Coromon and Miko chase each other around the room, leading to comical situations.

Family

Later, their mom comes home and finds Kari talking to Coromon. Tai hears Coromon speak, confirming that it can talk. Coromon shows friendship, and the family starts to accept its presence. That night, Kari tries to get Tai's attention, and Coromon appears scared, leading to another digivolution.

Agumon

Tai's dad comes home drunk, trying to enter their room, but Tai prevents him from seeing Agumon, who has grown large and broken the bunk bed. Agumon smashes through the window and jumps off the balcony with Kari on his back. Tai follows them, and his mom doesn't stop him. Agumon and Kari walk around, and Kari asks why Agumon doesn't talk anymore.

Greymon

Agumon smashes soda cans, and Kari picks them up. Agumon saves Kari from a truck and then attacks it. Helicopters appear, and Tai uses Agumon's pepper breath to attract them. A giant egg appears in the sky, and Paramount emerges from it.

Battle

Paramount starts destroying the city, and people take notice. Agumon attacks Paramount, but Kari tries to stop him. Paramount uses its Sonic Destroyer, causing destruction. Agumon digivolves into Greymon to protect Tai and Kari from falling rubble.

Climax

Greymon fights Paramount, and the battle is more intense in the English dub due to the music and sound effects. Greymon throws Paramount into the air and rips off a chunk of its jaw. Paramount uses its Sonic Destroyer again, but Greymon prevails.

Ending

After the battle, Greymon and Paramount disappear, leaving the city in ruins. Tai and Kari call out for Coromon. In the Japanese version, Tai hugs Greymon, while the English version connects the story to the next one. The video concludes by praising the movie's consistency with the series and the quality of the English dub's production.

0:00 hello everyone and welcome to More of our Digimon content today we decided that there's a lot of us who got to see the Digimon movie that came out in English over here with those of us who speak English saw that generally but many of you may be aware of it at this point that it was actually came from a Japanese movie that was a standalone three standalones actually yes so we're here to talk about the very first one which all the more it may be difficult to find because it is literally titled Digimon Adventure exact same as the season that it was supposed to be the pilot episode of is what I believe is kind of what this was meant to be because it's only 20 minutes long it's not it's a short film a shorter film it's a short film it's barely the length

0:47 of an episode there's an episode and so we're here to talk about Digimon Adventure the movie short film or whatever the prequel whatever you want to call this thing yes yes the unaired pilot whatever which is not confusing at all let me hear an Aaron pilot movie yeah let's continue before we really hurt your head yeah before it hurt my brain so yes let us dive into this short film and for those of you who are unaware it is more or less the first third of the Digimon movie this is this is the same story but this was expanded a little bit that cut out a few things to make it shorter for so they could get three movies in and a standard length of the movie yeah there's one who was kind of whole Frankenstein mess yeah we'll really get into it when we get to the third movie yes yes that one was very different this one on the surface is not no and yes yes I hear you

1:40 screaming at me no no the dump ruined everything no no we'll get into it we'll get into the changes yes so from the very beginning starts with a great one charging a Paramount oh okay yeah running over tight running over a carrying party over actually literally stepping over there I'm not like you know stopping them yeah oh it should be a heck of a start yeah I get my attention but yeah then it goes to a yellowish field void thing where she's talking generating how he meets Digital Monsters later yeah I met things that shouldn't be in this world and yeah really doesn't land much no no because yeah that field is not in the beginning and the opening narration in English is curry she does almost all the narrations she's narrating for an entire movie because she's in all

2:29 three bits yeah but for all that part and here we get like a line or two from Thai and that's about it it's really unnecessary I don't know where he even is yeah yeah have you seen another series I don't know where this is yeah exactly I don't know what this is no it's narration space yeah but then how often good sir I even like this man mood or something yeah stupid ghost game be better let me have a good mood yes well they have to come out with more to put you in a different mood so we transitioned into night time this guy is all red with ones and zeros and he's getting up looks like he went to the bathroom you know kind of thing notices a light from his dad's computer room and as he glances in his little sister Hikari or Kari depending

3:20 on what you might know her as sitting in front of the computer and yeah it's doing weird things but at first it's yeah why is she up and staring at it why was she I mean she's always kind of been called to these kinds of things yeah so my guess is something it's never officially stated whether like she's up all right it was called doors just hasn't beat up and the lights caught her eyes don't know really not important no because she's really not doing anything here outside of staring out of a whistle and once again as pretty much in all of the differences between the sub and the dub there's a lot of just staring and saying nothing here where the dub fills a lot of the quiet time which goes through pretty much every scene in almost all of the seasons and the movies it's just

4:05 the dove loves to talk into Phil's space and I generally like that there are many of you out there that apparently don't know parents lost you out there who don't like Good times yes I'm enjoy playing between serious moments yes regardless an egg comes out of the computer oh almost completely forms and then we cut to the morning yep where retired you know just probably assumes it's a dream Titans walking up by his mom saying her mom's saying it either she's going out into Japanese or that she's going to the health food store in the English one yeah regardless he leaves high tea a long Watcher little his little sister yep um they're pretty young to be left all alone at this point and on top of that it is like working on an active stove cooking breakfast yeah so she didn't like making breakfast before she

4:54 left no that seems a little strange to me but I I do love in both versions you immediately see that Curry has the egg and you immediately transition over to him cooking an egg on the stove yes so they give you the moment of wait did he just did they just cook that no all right guys just holding it in a booster seat I mean this is how young yeah you know she is she's not even sitting at a normal you know seat or anything she needs something to help her she's she's sitting there and they're you know talking about you know you can't keep it you can't no no yeah just make at this point yeah so what what's Mom gonna say you know there's still crouching both versions makes a joke when he says we bet we can make a giant fried egg out of it yeah good soccer ball yeah in multiple ones carried out this is

5:43 she rarely talks to him she whistles at him a lot more which is she does not that's just how she communicates many times even though we know she can't talk she does she talks funny as it goes on yeah yeah but as Taichi gives her her breakfast she goes to pick up one of her juice cups and the Egg slips around and while it's on the ground starts rolling around and Kari chases it depending on how long depending on the version you're watching yeah and in Japanese it's it's a high intensity chase scene under the table living room table with no talking and no talking very boring music yeah in fact music in the Japanese version is dull and boring and like the same song all the time it really makes it really kind of makes me feel like it drags the time it's like this was you know in an unproven uh IP and they were really just barely

6:35 scraping to get it together it seems sometimes possibly So eventually the egg rolls around with a mind of its own until it rolls into their bedroom again stands up on it and cracks open and gets a Botamon yeah it's a it's a little black fuzzball that immediately jumps out and attaches to Taichi's face yep and again there's not a lot of dialogue or anything going on here in bed and the original Japanese one I think this one at least like the Curry's laughing at it yeah yeah she's amused but eventually he gets off his face and hides under their bed and the Golden State credits after it then she throws his goggles near it I don't think he actually hits him I thought he did but I don't know the first time I didn't watch him again I think it's close to the maximum in the wall but regardless blow some Bubbles at him and knocks him back yeah

7:22 and gee it's a baby Digimon it's about all it does yeah it's a Mac it doesn't it's as tough as it's gonna give yeah and one and once again after that it's how long you on the next thing to go on for is back it seems happier with Hikari yeah seems like that then it makes lots and lots of Bubbles as whistles bubbles back and forth to the point where they're floating out the window and over the city and why do people also see bubbles yes I mean they're just bubbles so probably one strike is that straight yeah he's not a that big a deal but it is just all the more that people did definitely see some things happening from this the events of this movie it is not such a secret that nobody saw and are you gonna be your Mikko for today oh good we're about to talk about Nico really you're gonna call us yep

8:12 do another cutscene and uh like how are you speeding the bottoman big chocolate but maybe not yeah yeah the best diet we can tell I don't know and this is probably where Titans are going what are we going to do with this thing we can't keep it yeah come on and of course akari wants to keep it oh yeah he's not having none of that Ingrid was angry angry whistling intensifies yes exactly and the phone rings and she goes answer it and it work yeah it's just a whole bunch of static and a bunch of flashing lights all around all the electronics we're going nuts if you know this and it's consistent in this episode this indicates something's digital disappearing yes this series whenever Digimon appears or digibles it messes

8:57 with electronics in your body right and once again this is this is one of the moments that is very much a joke in the in the dub and is more suit and it's just nothing I literally unremember one right outside of the indication that indicator of the digital solution yes so it comes back on huh pulls out and Harry's now no longer leaning on a black ball fuzzy ball I think one of antenna yes antenna whatever quite whatever you want to call those whatever quite they are yeah which obviously we now knows coramon yes you're watching this you probably know that's a quarter mom yeah yeah so at this point though it's still eating it's still alive so if the card goes down and steals Steals and brings it in and Miko says his displeasure at this Corman seems very happy get

9:45 some very happy luck and starts eating away and then Miko says no that's fine no no and pounces and pounds take some around the room again for how long you want yeah he's on your version yeah the Japanese how exciting the music is depends on your version yeah it's much different than because it's probably you know 20 seconds in the in the English where it's almost a minute the Japanese have just he's in this quarter dial he's over there he's over there running underneath the bed yeah yeah we're playing in the toy hamper it's not over yep until until finally he gets on and pounces on him and Tai Chi feels bad for them trying to keep on trying to keep me going from beating up the corner yeah Miko says no because slash across his cheek and then gets a quarterback yeah please

10:40 and then it's how could you lose to a cat what's nice about the bar memorable lies the Japanese Bird yeah yeah I mean we don't make much of a tag team do we it's also not operating some pretty good people that's not bad either yeah and so finally it seems quite a bit later in the day that Mom finally comes home and it takari's kneeling kneeling there with coramon and it's basically done no talking to this point in the movie almost and is talking to coramon no problem I'm pretty yeah convincingly pretty good very good uh Japanese yes and starting to try and understand what is this thing what what

11:28 have we found and you know I'm Kari this is Ty both versions Kyrie Kyrie my brother Ty yeah I will never remember this line otherwise and Ty finally hears it talk too and then Zoe is like actually talked for a while before it down time that is what's talking yeah yeah next it says two or three lines verticals wait hit Kentucky that's just no no it's not right says thank you and all that and he shows a sign of friendship which is you know but she did a little bit before how do you attacked the Buddhist cat food initially eventually yeah I guess a kiss yes yes

12:18 well this time they're a little more uh they're not as freaked out by it this time yeah a little more expected this time so okay a little bit later today now it's night time they're they finally went to bed and once again akari's whistling at Ty to get his attention because he's asleep and he sleeps through it for a little while until she finds a couple two three birds so the horses he gives up what and uh yeah quarterman looks really weird he looks the camera looks scared terrified of something here yeah yeah I I'm not sure what because he just did evolves again I mean going to do the first Digimon we've ever met that scared to digivolve D not many I can't think of anything

13:06 not to the point of this face no no no no not not bad kind of face I'm thinking you know he heard somebody else but no it's about to do big yeah you thought Marcus Aquaman was big this is a big yeah this this half the size of a grandma already is he real big and at about this time hachi's dad is coming up an elevator and talking about stumbling around those on the slurred words yeah saying their names and stumbling into the house and probably be quiet you'll wake him don't you realize what time it is smell of alcohol yeah yeah this is completely out of the English dub because yeah whatever reason for me children's cartoons any mentioned alcohol is just

13:54 not allowed on a western no I don't know why it's such a taboo but it really is no that's that's not booze that's a grape soda he tries to get into Tai Chi's and hikari's room and it's not locked but you see on the other side Tai is literally holding the handle to try and keep them from seeing the Agawam just broke apart their bunk bed yeah yeah because that because Ty sleeps on the top it would have been pretty bad it could be pretty bad if he was still in there mom kind of shoes dadaways and sometimes you're like this every night which is kind of a scary line if that's true yeah yeah you don't see either of the parents faces in this at least not this first one though yeah not the

14:46 first one no and interesting but she chews him away from the door which is kind of important for a little bit later yeah and Hikari is just like doesn't seem all too perturbed by this giant lizard as it starts going towards the window it actually climbs on his back yep and he smashes through the window because he's too big to filter wise otherwise and just jacks off the balcony with curry on the bounce back yep just no problem guys are a little freaked out by this yeah and she goes running after them yeah as he also lands on the car and lands on a car down below to smash all the more and make all the more noise yeah so yeah taichi goes running out after him man and his mom apparently sees because ask where she he's going but it doesn't seem to show an interest to

15:32 stop him or follow her yeah do anything so either she really really trusts Tai Chi or she's just a really bad mom in this one yeah I'm not sure which one yeah because because in English that he just kind of makes a joke and Mom's not really we gotta kind of make a joke and cut scenes fairly quick so you don't think about real hogging though why are you shutting the door from her how he gets faster how he's outside and yeah exactly that's an odd cut in the English stuff I'll give you the answer yep and they're just slowly walking around and we knew coramon Tom but now alchemond just doesn't doesn't make any sounds any entire time here yeah I mean you can Hikari at one point says don't you want to talk to me anymore coramon yeah so

16:18 at least they addressed that in that one I mean the dog he likes Corrals a few times yay Grunts and growls at least reacts yeah because I was attacked when he makes it but yeah that's about it and there's a lot of little things going on but we've got minutes of no talking or almost any sounds outside that generic stock music in the Japanese one which makes it sometimes seem like it drags on when getting in the dub because maybe he talks too much and sometimes unless everyone it seems to move a lot faster yeah yeah there's talking and things happening even if to some extent some of them are a little much yes yeah sometimes it's unnecessary narration I agree yeah it starts off you go season soda cans you smashes it because he has no idea Curry just goes with it yep picks up a few cans he starts leaving and drop someone chases after him yeah

17:09 playing around in traffic yeah can we almost get into my truck but apparently jumps over Justin and Nick are dying yeah and he apparently he's not appreciative of that as he launches an attack Yep this is a truck but pulls up the phone move so you know yeah underdogs don't have something to say to him that's his job like any of you know who Underdog is yupper flame because they call it in the English version even though it's usually pepper breath so I don't know well this isn't supposed to be the same Greymon according to initially until try and come on yeah I'll have to do that one solo I don't want to watch try again yeah and I don't remember in the uh English version that when he uses the pepper flame

17:54 because he sees some planes or helicopters not exactly sure what overhead yeah like Ty actually sees those the attacks and uses them to also attract them because he's well behind yeah he had to run down the stairs he didn't uh he didn't jump five stories or whatever whoever knows it seemed like it was pretty high yeah he's about to attack him bus looks like and then helicopter or playing if there's one goes faster fire insufficiently at them instead yes just good don't be a bad boy and I said she's saying there's a Flames then I used to help give them their original area there's something else happens that would help them get

18:40 them again I'm really really really big dizzy egg appears and Skye yeah I mean never seen an egg this size before this is or again yeah this is rather strange different than anything you've seen because usually they come through portals so this is a little yeah this is I mean this is the size of five city blocks yeah yeah and this guy then it crack opens in a pyramid what's big comes out he's not that big no no he's not Millennium mine or you know gajama at this point so that generally where the paramounts coming down we've got lots of cameras from the other kids and some other people you'll never see again yeah and some others that yeah which is fine would make sense yeah it's so big and loud plenty of people would see this

19:29 then we get back to carrying agaman who shoots at it who thinks boy I need to fight this thing yeah and um go outside your wig class at the moment there uh I want to rethink this yeah yeah I mean they don't know at this point we don't know anything about stages and anything it's like well he's gotten bigger twice already he must must be good to fight right yeah no no no no no that's an ultimate or perfect I think she catches up tries to get her carry far away from these things and she will not leave she will not leave poor mom because that's what you know where I'm gonna ask at this point yeah and then never learn alone doesn't want him to fight and while the Paramount says enough of this and uses its Sonic Destroyer not that he not that Paramount ever says this or I don't think it ever makes a

20:18 noise in the original Japanese version I think it makes some small noise but yeah it doesn't say anything it doesn't in an area of collapses the bridges are underneath on top of them yeah and good thing uncle mom's that big in this one yes otherwise because Joe who's on his phone talking to someone indeed his phone stops working properly something strange happened got back to the rebel and gee another digivolous happen for evolution since we're talking about Japanese and coramon has got really big yes but it's big enough to protect them from the rubble yeah it kind of stands back up and some of the rubble falls off a little and he makes his little head nut which every person before I saw the Japanese are nice talking just bump into

21:04 more Rubble opposite yeah but apparently this is equivalent to the face hog in the inteller wrap around a sign of friendship yeah because probably immediately knows this I'm going uh okay sure and the W says I'm Greymon now but yeah I know you are good job thank you that's my job you could be whoever you want to be big guy yeah which I think is better than on it oh that's the same thing as a big kiss on a wrap around no not not really and now we finally get to the big climax of yeah but many different gee he was looking at Amazon oh yeah I'm not quit the ball shot more of them City flame Nova fires that God ended up um aliens looks like really nicely animated looking scene but then the music in the Japanese

21:52 is the same music you've heard all the time and doesn't fit at all and I don't really care yeah as opposed to the good one where you on Grandma now and the theme song so and it gets me off on top for it let's smash him the same animation did she not have this dip of effect on me but it doesn't even smashing through the cars I think just they added more to it yeah to just do more with it really increase the production value as a whole and Paramount makes more noises back to show that they're fighting and yeah yeah it comes in with Battle Cry and the theme song searching yeah we're talking again just to stop music that's interesting fight um there's a [ __ ] in this for sure he is at one point the Greymon

22:41 takes the horn on his nose and throws up the bottom of a pair of Minds that Peak there and this isn't like the other you know things like stabs and things we see in Digimon there's no blue digital code anything like that it goes right through and it comes back on he rips a chunk out of his basically his lower jaw almost completely off yeah I mean it's pretty awesome but yeah because you'll have to make the PG movie version no no no no well I see it it's interesting go back and look at the scenes yeah it is still there afterwards but usually I'm gonna close the shop it you notice yeah you'll notice yeah I'm happy with how many weeks like grabs them throws them down there and then hits them again it is Sonic Destroyer yep and he's out yeah which doesn't did evolve them which most times you know that's kind of what you would expect

23:30 yeah but it's actually a partner Digimon in this situation yeah yeah so so you're bad yeah and everyone around seems to kind of understand and is rooting for the dinosaur you know they don't quite understand what's going on and the heart attacking like she holds back in calories again trying to get real close to yeah like no no no then we hear a Kyrie trying to blow his whistle but she coughs a little bit and has trouble so taichi grabs it and gives it the heck of a blow yes that's all he's got into it and this is a cool seat yeah this is nice and after a while when he finally done out of breath there's freak moment everyone's eyes

24:17 stands back up throws another Noma flame out there move a firing and afterwards to come back in this morning yeah they're gone the destruction's still there yeah if there are signs that they were there digimonas are gone Yep this is mysteriously safe here they have disappeared again calling out for coramon or dream on the pen how much version we're going for because he never never said his name and Japanese one for almost the last time they actually talk to him don't you want to play Horsey with me anymore and then uh yeah so next to Japanese when we have another Tai Chi and of yellow boy with Greymon this time yeah and he kind of bends down lays underground and Tai Chi runs up and gives

25:06 him a hug and it's kind of cute yeah I like this little this little and then plays the Japanese themed butterfly yep and in the English that's where they try to connect it to the next story which it still doesn't connect to and the third story which it doesn't connect to at all because I don't think the third story is canonical yeah yeah exactly so yeah yeah kind of messy um this is a good story yeah it's really neat to see afterwards this is the mention this in this main series about how they repair how they chose the curry and 13 in particular because of this event right here and I never dream I'd actually see it so to get a movie short movie like this it actually shows this event yes and it's still consistent with everything like kakari being a sickly child point to the whistle she has with carrying around the entire series

25:56 yeah that's all it is always strange that she says that she's been to the digital world before which this is not going to the digital world but yeah but it explains like you know it's coramon specifically by the name Corey yeah she yeah that she knows that yeah so again it's just actually fits in very nicely there's not a lot of contradictory between these two things would you really get things like this there's so many it drives me nuts yeah but they actually like paid a lot of attention to it whoever wrote this so good job really no second well done yeah and again I know something else like it I like the dub version more just because of the music and the sound effects and that post-production being so much higher and this sounds so much better it gets you much more in the mood of the scene I mean yes maybe talks a little too much at times yeah but it always will that that that is part of

26:46 the dub is they they try to make things fun in that way sometimes this will go a little too far sure but but it's a kids show after all yeah this isn't made to be oh Game of Thrones no this is this is this is a fun children's cartoon so that's it for part one of well depends on how you want to count these movies yeah exactly how many we want to do there's about nine of them and then there's try try and understand the last last Evolutions out there it's longer than the other one yeah this is kind of a black hole are kind of going down on this one we'll see how far away how deep we get yep well if you guys like it give us the views comment subscribe and I swear we'll go through all right yeah so maybe try you don't have to do that as well

27:34 yeah I would love to tell you about psychedelic party tanks stay tuned I'm still looking forward if you don't know what those are stay tuned you'll find out thank you all for watching I hope you enjoyed all right if you want to see more Digimon content and as always everyone remember to be awesome until the next one take care bye-bye foreign
