Intro
The video introduces a review of "Digimon: The Movie," which is a compilation of three separate Digimon movies tied to the first two seasons of the English dub. The reviewers note that the U.S. version includes added humor and music choices not present in the original Japanese versions. While they prefer the Japanese versions, they acknowledge the U.S. movie's soundtrack is good.
Digimon Adventure (First Movie)
The first movie, "Digimon Adventure," serves as a prequel to the first season, focusing on young Tai and Kari. The plot involves the emergence of a Digimon egg from a computer, which hatches into various forms, including Agumon. Agumon battles a parrot-like monster, and the events tie back into the main series. The reviewers describe it as a simple but enjoyable 20-minute short that introduces the concept of Digimon and the character of Kari. They also mention that Tai is based on a character from the "Digimon V-Tamer 01" comic book series.
Digimon Adventure: Our War Game! (Second Movie)
The second movie, "Digimon Adventure: Our War Game!" is set after the first season and involves a computer virus that evolves into a Digimon wreaking havoc on the internet. Tai and Izzy work together to stop it, trying to contact the other Digidestined for help. The Digimon evolves rapidly, and the kids struggle to unite against the threat. Eventually, Matt and T.K. join the fight, and Agumon and Gabumon digivolve to their mega forms, WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon. They fuse into Omnimon to defeat Diaboromon, who has hacked into the Pentagon and launched a missile. The reviewers praise Diaboromon's design and the movie's narrative.
Digimon Adventure 02: Digimon Hurricane Touchdown!! & Digimon Adventure 02: Transcendent Evolution!! The Golden Digimentals (Third Movie)
The third movie, "Digimon Adventure 02: Digimon Hurricane Touchdown!! & Digimon Adventure 02: Transcendent Evolution!! The Golden Digimentals," is the longest and, in the reviewers' opinion, the weakest of the three. It introduces new characters from the second season and involves Willis, a character who won a Digi-Egg and has two Digimon partners. The plot involves an infected Digimon, Wendigomon, and a convoluted story about age regression and a search for a lost partner. The reviewers criticize the movie's slow pacing, unengaging characters, and nonsensical plot elements, particularly in the U.S. version.
Angela Anaconda Short & Soundtrack
The reviewers briefly mention the "Angela Anaconda" short that was included with the movie, expressing confusion over its purpose. They then discuss the U.S. version's soundtrack, praising its selection of alternative rock, pop-punk, hip-hop, and ska-punk tracks. They note that the soundtrack introduced them to many great songs.
Final Thoughts
In conclusion, the reviewers recommend watching the first two Japanese movies and listening to the U.S. soundtrack, but suggest skipping the third movie altogether.
