While some children spend their summer vacation playing ball or going to the beach, seven kids use their free time to help save the world in this feature-length animated adventure adapted from the popular television series. While attending summer camp, a group of kids playing with computers are transported into a digital universe, where they make friends with the Digital Monsters, or Digimon, creatures of the electronic world who can transform themselves into more advanced beings at will. However, while the children have been befriended by good Digimon, there are also evil Digimon, and a ruthless Internet Digimon is ravenously swallowing up communications data from around the world. The Internet Digimon has the potential to take over worldwide communications -- including military weapons-launch technology -- if the good Digimon and their human friends cannot stop its schemes. Digimon: The Movie was adapted from two shorter Japanese films using the Digimon characters, and was prepared for U.S. release by the same team who Americanized the original Japanese anime series Dejimon Adobencha. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    This movie was made from the television show. I like the show and the movie was just as good

    Well, I saw all the other reviews and it seems parents are the people who have a problem with this movie. It must another one of those "Pokemon are named after demons" thing... I dunno. But I for one LOVE this movie. The animation is sketchy and quick but for some reason it makes it look all the better. The story can be rather bland since it is for kids, but if you've followed the story from the beginning, this is a remarkable movie.

    This movie is actually the combination of three shorter animated features which were originally shown separately in Japan. The three otheriwse unconnected stories are strung together by added dialogue that does little to sew together the uneven plots. The third act is actually quite different from its original form as whole scenes are cut out or altered to try to make it fit into the plotlines of the other two segments. On its own this movie isn't really all that bad and has better animation quality than the television series on whic his it based. Fine for kids and adament fans of the show who cannot get a hold of the orignal versions. The low point of the movie in my opinion is the inclusion of pop songs which really have nothing to do with the theme of the movie. An all instrumental soundtrack would have been much better.

    Yes   |   No
