The Movie's Composition [0:40]
The English dub of the Digimon movie is composed of three shorter films: Digimon Adventure, which introduces Tai's first encounter with a Digimon; Our War Games, which focuses on the battle against Diaboromon; and Hurricane Touchdown, where Davis and friends confront a new threat.
Kari's Name Significance [1:06]
Kari's Digi Crest is the Crest of Light. Her original Japanese name, Hikari, translates to "light," emphasizing the connection between her name and her Digi Crest.
DNA Digivolution [1:28]
Our War Game introduces the concept of DNA digivolution with the debut of Omnimon. This event is later referenced in Digimon Adventure 2 to explain DNA digivolution to the Tamers, highlighting its superiority over normal digivolution. In the Japanese version, Omnimon is called Omegamon.
Removed Plot Element [1:57]
The DVD cover mentions that the older DigiDestined are captured by a wayward Digimon. This plot point, involving Kokomon kidnapping and de-aging the original DigiDestined, was removed from the dub.
Biblical Reference [2:21]
In the first part of the movie, when the Digimon emerges from the computer, the text visible on the computer screen is from Psalm 109 from the Bible.
Willis's Inclusion [2:37]
References to Willis were added in the English dub. In the original Japanese version, Our War Game was in continuity, while Hurricane Touchdown was not. Therefore, Willis did not exist in the original Our War Game storyline.
Mega Forms [3:01]
In the Hurricane Touchdown segment, Patamon and Gatomon evolve into their mega forms, Seraphimon and Magnadramon, respectively. This marks the first and only time these evolutions are shown.
Continuity Issues [3:37]
Hurricane Touchdown appears to have continuity issues with the Digimon Adventure 2 series. The timeline placement is problematic due to Davis possessing the Digi-Egg of Friendship and Ken's character status. Additionally, the movie contradicts the established appearances of Angemon and Angewomon's Mega forms and presents a different origin for the Digi-Egg of Miracles.
Digimon Tamers Reference [4:23]
The person emailing Tai and Izzy in the movie is actually Yamaki from Digimon Tamers. Since Digimon Tamers occurs in a different continuity, Yamaki's presence creates a continuity discrepancy. Also, Yolei is seen sending emails to WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon.
Shakespearean References [4:47]
The English dub of the movie incorporates at least two lines from William Shakespeare. These include a variation of "vanish into thin air," spoken by Davis, and a reference to "eat someone out of house and home," rephrased by Tai.
