It's a pretty great movie. I love the original version of the clips in this movie. I suggest you watch the Japanese version. You will see no corny catch phrases added and names and terms altered in the American version.

(2.4/5) A hodgepodge edit of three Digimon OVAs. The Americanized soundtrack and Angela Anaconda intro are horrible additions. I like several of the Digimon, but the focus here is much more on the children. The stories are rubbish. The slightly angular art style gives a more matu... read more

Similar to Poke'mon - though somehow slightly more fun.
Although I liked the very first season the best, this was still nice to see.
It had Gatomon so I liked it :P -

Critic Reviews
The animation itself isn't anything special -- not that the target audience cares much about that. But the message is sweet and empowering. Full Review
[Parents] may be peering at their watches and sympathizing with the Digimon who wails, 'What do we have to do to stop this fighting?' Full Review
I'm not nuts about shooting hyperactive boys up with Ritalin, but Digimon: The Movie could use about 2,000 cc's of the stuff, injected straight into the projector. Full Review
As noisy, chaotic, cheesy and crassly commercial a product as has ever been put on the big screen. Full Review
Not that I'm encouraging you to see the movie, you understand -- especially not when you could, for example, alternatively spend the evening tweezing your eyebrows with chopsticks.
Can be surprisingly smart and lively in its early going, thanks to some cheeky, well-written humor, a genuine sense of excitement and topical ties to the Internet. Full Review
What is particularly unappealing and troublesome about the feature is that it is a video game barely disguised as a movie.
Still just another excuse to sell trading cards and video games to your unsuspecting offspring.
If there is any taste left in the world, the buck may very well stop here. Full Review
