- The Digimon Movie is a strange hybrid of three separate short films edited together by the American dub team, but it remains cool and a perfect time capsule of the era.

If you’re wondering why it was taken down and reposted: I caught an exporting error after it was uploaded and decided to take it down. I also added a new line about the poster cause lmao- follow me on twittah @billiamthies!
Oh yeah, I remember a weird empty space the first time. ...I don't remember what part it was though?
I see the thumbnail changed as well, looks a bit less disorganized imo, which is nice! ^^
You used to be hot!
story time
when I was introduced to Digimon it was from 2 things: Digimon World (the game for PS1, loved your playthough of that by the way) an oddly enough Digimon The Movie. I was a stupid kid at the time in elementary school and honestly I never really sat down and watched all the seasons after Tamers. The English sub I watched through both 1 and 2 and honestly it does so much better then what the english dub accomplished but the one thing that I love from both the Sub and Dub is the OVA's and the Digimon Movie. Veemon is my favorite digimon and seeing his interactions with Terriermon and the cute egg rolling scene from the first part, all of it to me has charm. The English dub is funny in the way it uses its dubbing to its advantage, which is to use the voice actors in a way to give comedy and not have it be all serious. I always thought of it odd that they had smash mouth before shrek was a thing, and heck I still have the VCR version of Digimon the movie. It definetly helped with me enjoying things like Pokemon and maybe anime/RPGs as a whole. Also, Butterfly is such a good anime opening like oh my god
Yo Billiam, what is that background music that's put into the first minute or so of this video? You use it like all the time and I love the tune lol
Tai's mom in the dub is a blessing and I love her
Do you want some beef jerky shakes?
All the family members in Digimon are a delight
Except for maybe Davis' sister
I was gonna make 3 bean salad... Oh well I've only got 2 beans anyway.
I will never forgive her when she slapped Tai when Kari caught a fever and she blamed it on him but she was definitely likeable in this movie, can't lie.
@@ProlificPops wasn't Kari sick and he took her outside to play anyway making her illness worse? It's been a while but I thought that's why she slapped him because he wanted to play rather than look after his sister
Don't even pretend that Izzy yelling "You've got mail" wasn't the single most badass thing in the entire series and anime in general.
*Omnimon has entered the chat* Connection TERMINATED.
It’s funny to think that kids today won’t really know why these lines are so iconic. Raise your hand if you used to have AOL or if your parents ever picked up the phone while you were trying to download something.
Bro when matt said "TK he can't BUT YOU CAN" then wargreymon and metalgaurumon come flying in is more badass in my opinion
Izzy's the REAL badass of Digimon.
It was cheesy as hell.
i will forever love that shot of sora sitting on the window with the water splash from the bomb in the background, its soo amazing!
Yeah showing their relationship in a nut shell
@@Solqueen86 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yep. And how she almost died without even knowing it
Why do I see you everywhere
The Music sells it
So the song "Kids in America" was first performed by a British singer in 1981. Then fast forward nearly 20 years later, the song was covered by a Canadian band to promote a Japanese animated film.
And now Kim Wilde is a gardener 😂
you're welcome.
signed,a canadian.
My parents still call "Kids of America" the "Digimon song" .
That's amazing lol
How old are you parents? The Len version is a cover of the song from the 80s.
that is so cute
Even the original?
Your parents are correct
The Digimon Movie is like Digimon Abridged except official.
Digimon dubs back in the day practically were abridged parodies and I love them for it.
Dexter Adams
fuck abridged,they shouldn't steal from from shows,anime is copyrighted and abridged should be sued for all the things they stole from all anime they've ever done
If you like "abridged except official" you'll love Ghost Stories my dude
@@eeveefennecfox but why tho? Yeah anime is copyrighted but they're not just reuploading the anime. They're taking it and turning into something new and fresh.
I see someone else has already mentioned Ghost Stories.
The OG official Abridged Anime.
I admit, the dub jokes are nostalgic gold 90% of the time for most of the dubbed series too.
There's just so many fun little gags from over the years, one my favorites is from Tamers.
When the kids and digimon mostly forgive Beelzemon, then everyone laughs and off screen
they have Beelzemon say "Oh I get it, you're laughing with me not at me right guys?... Guys?".
The Digimon movie is unironically one of my favorite movies of all time. I rented it every weekend from blockbuster for years
I used to have the vhs until 2007, but I bought the DVD last year
I still have my vhs and cd. I watch it online like every 3 months w/ revenge of diaboromon. It's a classic for sure.
I never actually looked at the poster that hard before, I never realised how bad it actually is 😅😂😂 my kid brain clearly didn't care tho 😅
same, i still have my VHS tape of it. , i just ran to my boxes of movies to find it and now im im like "wtf did they just get a friend that was kinda good with photoshop to do this?" LOL
@@TtranNicide legit just someone who discovered photoshop that day 😅😂😂😂
I already knew this poster was a hodgepodge of different things, but I never realized the older kids were supposed to be shown on computer screens until Billiam pointed it out. I can't believe that never crossed my mind before.
hahaha i'm the exact opposite, i remember spending so much time looking at the artwork on both the vhs and the inside of the soundtrack jewel case because i was so confused by it. but i also genuinely LIKED the artwork even if it was weird af
Our kid brains saw the Digimon logo. That's all that mattered.
This is the GOOD creeds to hold as a youtube creature.
Not many tend to take their time to revisit and come in with brand new takes on content they have already covered.
Opinions are bound to change over years, and just taking the leap and throwing new thoughts, changed thoughts, onto your channel must be like breaking from out the musty potato basement you built and shut yourself in, realising you no longer want to exist in the potato basement, and taking a fresh new breath after years of sucking dank potato air.
This is how I imagine it.
Didnt expect to see you here! :O totally agree though well said!
I too am in favor of people revisiting things to see how much their opinions have changed.
I'm also pleasantly surprised to see you here!
@@BucketSentry I didn't expect it either. Also I fully agree too and if I wasn't lazy and already way behind on my planned reviews, I'd probably go back and re-do two of my oldest reviews, Power Rangers Turbo's pizza episode (which I kind of tried to redeem myself with by reviewing the Carranger version which helped me gain a new perspective on the Turbo episode but I kind of botched the audio quality for part of the review) and my MLP Midnight Castle review. Aside from the bad audio quality from a cell phone app because my mic broke, I don't think I really changed my mind on what I said in my Doctor Who Angels Take Manhatten review though and while I plan to review MLP Escape from Catrina, I'm probably only going to do the story segment for my next review, the Doctor Who episode, Blink which I've been sitting on for over a year or so now... Might even can it outright but then I'd break continuity, it was supposed to be part of a four-part anniversary throwback that ends in Kamen Rider Cho Den-O Episode Yellow as a throwback to my Kamen Rider Cho Den-O Episode Red review which also happens to be my fourth and where I really started to grow as a reviewer.
No body expects the Alfa Legion!
Bruva Alfabusa oh hello Alfa , fancy seeing you here .
"The commenters are disagreeing with a position I no longer hold. I can't get mad at them, but I want to get mad at them, because they're just so rude about it." is the most relatable statement I've heard today.
I really appreciate that the director took the plot of the Digimon short film with the kids fighting the digimon online and just made it again feature length and called it Summer Wars. A power move.
Hey, I don't remember Izzy getting a bloody nose from doing a complicated equation in his head at lightning speed. Or be voice by Dean Venture, though Mona Marshall is annoyingly almost every adult female in South Park.
In the poster analysis you forgot the fact that the "Terriermon" nearby Willis is, in fact, Lopmon in Terriermon's colors, as it can be noticed by his three horns and the differently shaped patch of green on the chest.
honestly when I saw it on the movie's DVD case after watching the movie I thought "what the frick is that guy? Kinda looks like Terriermon... do Digimon have genders and different looks based on said genders? if so then would the Terriermon on the dvd box art a girl?"
Shiny Lopmon
That weird Terriermon thing looks like Shoutmon and Terriermon Xrosed.
@@YujiUedaFan LOL
@@ZenoDLC my thoughts exactly
The fact that we'll probably never see this type of film again makes it a 10/10 for me due to my enjoyment of it outweighing my distaste for it. How often do we make history people? Okay, it seems like more often every day but still!
You should check out the anime movie Summer Wars. It's made by the same guy who directed the Digimon: Our War Game movie, and covers a lot of the same ground, but without the limitations of having to work within the Digimon franchise. If you haven't seen it already, that is
I lowkey loved this movie. I remember thinking it was disjointed as a kid, then finding out as an adult that it was actually 3 films and that making total sense. I was also confused by Kari's Thanksgiving line and said out loud while watching it that they don't celebrate Thanksgiving in Japan and my brother flat out said to me, "They celebrate Thanksgiving in Japan". That still makes me laugh 20 years later.
For anyone revisiting this video, there is good news, Discotek is actually bring back these movies to the states for distribution, they are remastering the Digimon movie, but also redubbing the 3 OVAs fully uncut, getting most of the original English cast to do it, it's a great time to be a Digimon fan
AHHH WHEN… OMG…
@@fruggykittyNo announcements yet.
Update on this: the recording is done, they're just waiting on licensing from TOEI in Japan. The execs have to approve everything and that'll take awhile. Discotek has already done a high def remaster of 02 that they have on Blu-ray on their website.
So the movie remaster is still happening, it's just waiting on licensing.
I have always wondered why he went from crying to "Okay" so quickly. Even when I saw it the first time I found it strange
Lol it’s really not much better in the original
You’re not alone, even when I was a kid I knew something was missing like it felt so weird how Davis say ok after he cried from Willies’ Backstory.
To me the jump cut was just another joke to throw me off guard and helped change me from crying(I was a very emotional kid and that story touched me) to laughing at how quickly Davis got better
I remember loving that gag so much for some reason. Showed that Davis was capable of empathy, but quick to go back to being an optimist. (as opposed to mindlessly being an optimist all the time). Of course, in retrospect it's still a really sloppy cut for the sake of a gag lol
I actually remember my siblings and I laughing at that part as kids. It was weird to us even back then lol.
I actually love both this movie and the original short films (well, the Digimon Adventure ones) I actually like the humor in the dub, and I like the music, especially the dub’s score.
Still, I love the original’s use of Bolero. Butterfly is always fantastic, and the opening to Our War Game is one of my favorite animated movie openings of all time.
oh hey Dtoons!
The score is brilliant. Rewatching the Spider-Man Animated series on Disney Plus (sharing the same composer as Digimon Dub) made me wanna go back and watch the dub series
Where do i watch the originals tho
Ah, yes. Mamoru Hosoda Gets His Foot in the Door: The Movie.
1st Third: My Neighbor Greymon
2nd Third: Metal, and they just keep adding metal! And they don't stop coming, and they don't stop coming, and they don't stop-
3rd Third: Old Yeller: The Animation
Those are actually really great descriptions.
Our War Game is and always has been my favourite part of Digimon.
it's the superior Summer Wars
Digimon last evolution just hit you in the feels
It’s the 20th anniversary
And digimon tri is the 15th anniversary
I really want him to get his hands on a copy of digimon dawn or dusk and digimon cyber sleuth.
I’m playing cyber sleuth on switch right now. It’s the first digimon game I’ve played since digimon world 1 and honestly I love it (except the hours and hours of useless dialogue)
@@Jonatello And if you're like me with the hours and hours of back and forth grinding.
The ps1 games were awesome too! Getting them again myself!
If I had his P.O. Box, I could send him those games
Digimon World 1 is my personal favorite Digimon game due to nostalgia and just how amazingly complex the game is.
Dawn and Dusk were the second Digimon games I played. Love them, they're really good. And the Cyber Sleuth games are also really good.
dude the digimon english opening orchestra that played while omnimon was being formed lives in my head rent free, play it during my funeral and ill just friggin rise up outta nowhere its so epic
Do you know what that track is called? I always think of that song, along with many other Digimon songs, whenever I think of Digimon.
I have SCOURED the internet looking for that original OST.(And not the studio version, the actual version that plays in the movie)
Wait a second... Tai and Kari are half american? They have Thanksgiving dinners? In Japan?! My mind is blown. This uncle Fred character is a true enigma.
Japan does actually have a holiday called Labor Thanksgiving Day, but from what I could tell, it's entirely different, being more like Labor Day if anything, and there isn’t a holiday dinner for it, so that line is still stupid especially since they still live in Japan in the dub.
@@TheMGMfan then why do we have what is essentially thanksgiving in animal crossing in november?
Don't they eat Kentucky Fried Chicken on Christmas?
@@katarinadreams6955 Because Labor Thanksgiving Day is celebrated every year in Japan on November 23rd.
The digivolution is up and running didja see didja hear didja know it was comin
Our digidestiny starts today, let me hear you say!!!
Digimon! Digital Monsters!
Digimon are the Champions!
Yeeeeehawwwww
The DigiDudes will DigiRule
with DigiAbility and Digitude
I can honestly never hate this movie. Maybe I'm biased with nostalgia, but even after rewatching it, I completely love it and see no problem with it, even the soundtrack
I didn’t know people ever hated this movie. I watched it on repeat more times than any other movie as a kid 🤷🏾♂️
Agreed, I only ever watched it as a kid but I've always thought it was great, possibly just from kid memory, but I never gave much thought as to whether it was critically well received bc I just loved it for what it was
Some of the jokes in the english Digimon movie remind me of Ghost Stories.
From Scooby Doo to Digimon, Billiams just keeps going back and forth with his obsessions.
its the internet, so I took that "led to my parents divorce" story with a HUGE grain of salt
And even if it were true, I feel like the kid is better off if that's what made his parents divorce.
The more times I read the story, the least I believe it to be true. It just screams made up IMO.
To be fair, I can believe that it could be at least partially true- I had the exact same 'This isn't Digimon...' reaction to it as a kid- like, obviously the content is directly about Digimon the Movie, but it's wtf enough to make you question everything. I saw it with my Mum at the time as a kid, and, with genuine concern about the quality of the movie we'd both just gone to see, she said 'I told you this film had really bad reviews...' and I remember really having to make kind of a big effort to convince her that this wasn't, in fact, actually the Digimon: the Movie we'd just paid to see.
It was the most awkward filmgoing experience I've ever had until the movie started properly, so I can ABSOLUTELY see how something similar could ignite the fuse of an already ready-to-blow relationship.
Billiam looks genuinely happy in this video which is kinda nice considering how done he looked in his scooby doo videos
Loved this movie. For all of it's quirks and all. My only way to watch it was by getting it from the library so I literally checked it out once a month for like a year. Eventually the library did a book sale and it made it in there and I finally got it for like $3.
This is the most late 90s/early 2000s thing I've ever read and I love it. Takes me back, thank you lol
The shot when Greymons eye opens after they wake him up still makes me hype today.
For my entire life whenever I heard Smashmouth’s “All Star” I ALWAYS thought of Digimon the Movie instead of Shrek.
And Inspector Gadget apparently. Less said about that movie, the better.
I always connect One Week by the Bare Naked Ladies with this movie, too, lol.
@@auqustfire 100%
They officially Did It First as well 😂
Any song on this soundtrack, which I still have a CD of, is connected to this movie any time I hear it. I still have the image of everyone tilting their heads as the missile falls down whenever I'm listening to The Impression That I Get.
When I was younger, I thought the digimon movie were 3 movies.
I got older and found out I was wrong
I then got older and found out I was right.
I also never remembered the Angela Anaconda segment. I must have checked out, or since I always watched this on VHS it must have always gotten fast-forwarded.
Kind people rewind.
Heroes fast-forward past Angela Anaconda.
The soundtrack definitely made the movie for me , I always make it a priority to listen to it when I'm riding my bike .
So on the poster the one that was singled out is actually supposed to be Terriermon, although their face never looks like that, and the Digimon by Willis is actually supposed to be Lopmon, but for some reason they gave them Terriermon's colour scheme, albeit with a darker shade of green
You can tell due to the amount of horns on each of their heads and Terriermon has the single triangle under their chin, but Lopmon has the double triangle
I’m glad I’m not the only nerd who noticed that.
I don't think it was Omnimon who said "Connection terminated," the gravely voice was Diaboromon's - right after, the same gravely voice grunts, "Willis."
The voice actor is the same as Omnimon's, at least in Spain.
@@saxor96 Noted, but we're not talking about the Spain dub, love :P
And even so, a VA can do vocal variation to play multiple different characters. But the point you brought up is moot.
@@bluesoulwriter and I answer to that saying that, hearing the American dub, the voice of "connection terminated" isn't even close to the one that says "Wallace" after it.
@@saxor96 Okay, hun. Classic case of confirmation bias, but alrighty🤗
@@bluesoulwriter I could say the same to you claiming it's Diaboromon but okay.
I love that The Digimon Movie is having a bit of a comeback; I've seen some videos on Twitter where they edit all the absurdist jokes together into a couple minutes, and man, they still hold up better than most turn of the century humor.
Nostalgia, man.
I think this movie is perfect for an english audience that grew up with the american version of the show (saban), but not for the rest that adapted directly the japanese version (toei) to their language, at least for me even as a kid watching the movie felt weird and it even threw me off from the experience, it was like watching a really americanized media with so many jokes and "weird" music in something that at least here we were not used to at all, that's why watching the movie doesn't give me anything, while watching the japanese version gives me a weird kind of nostalgia, because even if the voices are not the ones from our dub, the tones and ost are something that reflect our version of the anime perfectly.
Here in Brazil we also got the dub from original japanese Adventure version instead of America's. I 100% agree with you. The movie for us probably felt weirder.
Thank you! I grew up with the Latin American dub, and I really disliked the whole USA vibes it had even with the Latin American voice actors trying their best 🤷🏽♀️
Also, the soundtrack was very weird with all the pop songs in comparison to the one I remembered 😂
@@elendoy they dared to replace Boleto to some generic and dated american songs, and put the american opening for the birth of omegamon instead of that Requiem the scene had in the original version :/
@@Matiasfv yep, the lack of Bolero was evident
Lol he watched the show in America and is American duh
This movie was my introduction to the Digimon franchise. I can't really hate it because of that regardless of its flaws.
This was the only movie I would rent from the Blockbuster for like, three months straight. Nostalgia

The first film had such a distinct look that to me looking back its hard for me to differentiate the film and first episode.
Billiam makes me feel like i wasnt that one kid that enjoyed these shows and toys
You said it perfect. Omnimon stabbing him in the face is one of the most metal things I've ever seen in Digimon
The one you thought is lopmon, is actually terriermon. If you look to the right of that Digimon you'll see a more natural looking terriermon with 3 horns, meaning that one is supposed to be lopmon.
Let's hope that RUclips doesn't pull down this version of the review.
I think he deleted it himself
He did. The original upload had file issues.
Wait, Omnimon said that line?? All this time I thought it was Diaboramon lol
Same
Same
It was Diaboromon. The voice matches much more with his than Omnimon's
@@yokaiju8909 It also sounds like WarGreymon and maybe they just forgot to add MetalGarurumon’s voice?
@@splashback788 WarGreymon has a more heroic and less gravelly voice. It is most definitely Diaboromon saying 'Connection Terminated'
"Our War Game" is essentially the prototype of "Summer Wars". Definitely recommended.
The english version is so funny and heartwarming, the movie is actually one of my favorite movie still
Much like Paul Blart Mall Cop, this movie isn't perfect, it's dumb, it's weird, it shouldn't have existed. But the world is better for it.
No, Paul Blart has no soul, this at least tried.
@@Ballade90 Paul Blart is an unsung masterpiece, one of the greatest films of its kind
@@Ballade90 Paul Blart will eat your soul
The Digimon english dub is always something i love/hate, its corny, but it made them charming, cause they tend to take themselves too seriously when its unnecessary.
Btw thank you for talking about Wargreymon’s bicep and thighs
Finally, other people noticed how strangely handsome Wargreymon is.
@@OwentheKingofDudes Digimon is wonderful, people must at least acknowledge how beautiful they are
For some reason pokemon got away with lamer puns jokes roasts but digimon never got that leaway
@@razkable This is just my view on it I could be wrong, I think because sometimes Digimon is meant for mature audiences should be taken seriously and its meant to be taken that way while Pokemon can get away with it cause its for smaller audience that its just cute monsters fighting with no life ending high stakes
I loved this movie so much, despite it being a Frankenstein of sorts. It makes me feel so nostalgic, it’s the one DVD I’ve kept throughout all these years.
"I like monsters" needs to be on a t-shirt.
Izzy forwarding those emails was truly a BIGLOBE moment.
"'The Digimon Movie Did Nothing Wrong,' Says Scrappy Doo Apologist"
i like your comment because not only could it apply to billiam but also me
Piss on all Scrappy Doo haters.
Yeah I'm on both sides with Billiam 😂😂😂
Digimon the Movie is much better than people give it credit for.... Scrappy Doo will always suck
@@orinanime How does it feel to be 100% wrong?
I super appreciate you making this video.
I don’t have much of a personal or nostalgic connection to Digimon, but as someone who grew watching the original English dub of Sailor Moon, I know what it’s like to reconcile with a piece of nostalgic media that isn’t quite as amazing as you remember and learning to find the value and the joy in it nonetheless. We need more positivity in this world; it’s okay to like and to love flawed and imperfect media. Also, people are way too hard on creators and frequently blame creators for decisions made by their management, so I love that you brought that up here.
I remember really liking Willis. I hoped he'd be the second Digidestined. I still liked Ken. I was also really disappointed that he didn't create Diaboramon in the original anime. That sounded like a great idea.
@22:15
The cut is like 2 seconds, and it’s not as jarring when you set it side by side. Davis literally stops crying basically immediately in both versions!
We all own Billiam a thankyou for his content
Having this on VHS was such a blessing for my anime and music taste
This is a beautiful nostalgic film. I would still visit this movie from time to time today.
Billiam; when international travel is a thing, go visit Japan and visit the scenic location shots of Digimon,movie and show. They are still around today and you'd definitely get a huge nostalgic rush
I love this movie and am happy to revisit it.
20 years later i'm still mad that Sora ended up with Matt
Old.....old.....OLD...WE'RE OLD!!!
If it makes you feel any better, they are so adamant about not acknowledging the 02 epilogue (and directly contradicting it in stuff like Kizuna) that it might as well not have happened.
It's okay, they divorced.
Same.
RITE!!!!
I'm so glad you touched upon those eyes at the top of the poster. I could never understand whose eyes they're supposed to be so I'm glad others also have no idea what they represent.
Great review tho. Always loved Digimon too. Good memories...
11:44 That's Wendingomon or... ...Endigomon as it was known at the time. Kokomon is the in-training form. It's because Willis never really got a chance to learn the evolutions' names or else he'd be calling Terriermon "Gummimon".
That actually makes sense here.
Nah, it's like nicknaming your Pikachu "Pikachu" and then evolving it lol
I still listen to the soundtrack every once in a while. Lmao
11:21 You can tell it's USA because the train says Amtrak.
This is a perfect companion piece to the original video, learning the hows and whys
of the funny-in-hindsight changes really adds a lot, and of course the increased honesty and personal bits.
Because really, everyone can review something if they keep at it, but dissecting from a personal perspective...
And also, it's the best kind of period piece. The one that just is, that you just can't reproduce, like say.. FLCL
In hindsight, that movie’s soundtrack had an outsized influence on my developing musical tastes.
Billiam I just wanna say I absolutely love the content you produce. Each new upload is like a weird new flashback to my childhood, this was no exception. No other RUclipsr has this affect/effect (words) over me. Please keep making oddly specific nostalgic content for me
I love the movie, it's very nostalgic for me.
10:01 The first fusion was Apocalymon (of deleted Digimon) in the Japanese dub, he's basically the biblical demon Legion as a digimon.
This movie will always have a special place in my heart because it was my first exposure to digimon and one of my earliest memories in general
The digimon movie was so dam good. The first part (baby Kairi) and the second part (fighting diaboromon) were especially freaking good. Not just a good digimon movie, but a GOOD movie for anyone to watch... and kinda funny. I watched it recently and surprised I'm seeing this.
Billiam I’d love to see your opinion on the 2009 movie ‘Summer Wars’ .. which essentially has the same plot and aesthetic as Our War Games (not to mention the same director!)
My favorite line is still “Prodigious! A computer virus on the internet!”
Nobody:
And I Mean Absolutely Nobody:
Izzy: *P r O d i G i o U s*
Digimon the movie : a mess so perfect it got a kids parents divorced.(also he saw this vid before billiam removed yesterday)
I know I put it off yesterday and when I went to watch it it was gone and I only had the title in my notifications it made me sad
The angela annaconda scene yeah
So they got digivorced?
Yah, I don't think that was real.... no way they wouldn't notice it wasn't the right movie... kid might ignore it, but not the parents.
You posted this AS I just dove back into the digimon community. I'm so happy.
Worth mentioning is that even though they cut the side plot about the older DigiDestined being captured, the blurb on the back of the DVD still mentions it ("a wayward Digimon kidnaps the DigiDestined").
Also, fun fact: When the studio was negotiating with the Voice Actor's Guild about the English voice actors' pay rates for Digimon the Movie, the Guild determined upon viewing the English cut of the movie that the changes made to the source material were so drastic that it was not a dub at all, but an original work. As a result, the actors had to be paid higher rates rather than the standard rate for dubbed animation (which is significantly lower).
So yes, the English movie is so far removed from the original Japanese short films that it is actually not officially considered a "dub" at all.
This being on the back of the box has bugged me for years.
Thank you for coming out as a Digimon fan, you’re very brave
i like the new remake a lot but there was some thing about the early 2000's tech that was so fitting for digimon
Agreed fully
I personally enjoy the score more in the Digimon movie than in the original ones because I like the epic sound to them and at the same time the more ominous sounding scores in the originals feel out of place for me cause, I mean, it's Digimon, I know the characters are gonna win in the end because they always do, and the music doesn't make me feel otherwise. When it comes to Digimon, I'll take a heart pounding badass score over a ominous whimsical one any day.
DUDE! THE ORIGINAL MOVIES ARE HAVING A RE-DUB AND UNCUT VERSION IN ENGLISH! With the Digimon Movie being re-released in high definition.
I wish the hurricane touchdown section could’ve been replaced by Revenge of Diablomon that got dubbed separately by Disney years later.
8:36 - His name is actually "Diablomon", but due to the Japanese pronunciation of " L"'s you can guess what happened here.
I never understood how All Star is inexorably associated with shrek in recent years. Back in the late 90s it was heard seemingly everywhere. It was in Rat Race, and Inspector Gadget too (among a few other films)
Even though it was made for the ‘Mystery Men’ soundtrack, as made evidence that four of the cast members appear in the beginning of the music video.
Billiam is the greatest force keeping my childlike wonder alive

14:30 well, in the guy's defense, the post does mention neither they or their parents spoke english very well, so they might have been reasonably confused as to what the heck was going on when they saw angela instead of digimon, even if the show explained what was going on at the beginning.
Always so appreciateive to find a new upload from you! Love your energy Billiam. And mad respect for going back to this after changing your outlook on a lot of the aspects. Big love
The animation in these movies is an aesthetic DREAM. Everything looks so good, especially the first segment and the internet scenes in the second segment. Just so gorgeous. And I couldn’t care less about Digimon. But that animation style 🤌
Wait, Hosoda made Digimon? The "Wolf Childern" Hosoda? Why didn't I know this until just now?
One thing I admire is the american version actually having Willis have a connection to the Virus digimon.
the digirap is still my ringtone and I still can't believe people dislike it
This was one of my all time favorite movies as a kid. I didn't even know what digimon was when I first watched it but man, I still love that movie. I've watched it so many times.
