History Anime / DigimonTheMovie

* ProductPlacement: Kari mentions she got her friend a pink Franchise/{{Power Ranger|s}} figure for her birthday.

* EpicMovie: Takes place over the span of eight years, involves three individual stories, and involves [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters many, many characters]]. Inverted in that it's more like a BMovie in content.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: in the first segment (which is kind of the original pilot to the series) Greymon has a more horizontal body structure like an actual therapod dinosaur instead of the more upright one he would have in all other adaptations. Additionally, Agumon is roughly the size of a car and both have deeper more intimidating voices. Both use altered versions of their in-series moves as well, with Agumon using the much larger and more destructive "Pepper Flame" and Greymon using "Nova Flame" which is more of a flamethrower than a bigger Pepper Breath. The credits differentiate them from their main-series counterparts with the named "Big Agumon" and "Red Greymon".

* DubInducedPlothole: The film is crawling with them, which is inevitable considering that it was rushed out after being made from three Japanese films.

''Digimon: The Movie'' is a 2000 {{compilation|Movie}} of short movies from the ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}'' franchise: ''[[Recap/DigimonAdventurePilot Digimon Adventure]]'' (a PilotMovie), ''[[Recap/DigimonAdventureMovieOurWarGame Digimon Adventure: Our War Game!]]'' (a ShortFilm), and ''[[Recap/DigimonAdventure02M1TranscendentEvolutionTheGoldenDigimentals Digimon Adventure 02: Digimon Hurricane Touchdown!! / Supreme Evolution!! The Golden Digimentals]]'' (another ShortFilm). It was the first time the franchise saw a movie in American cinemas (and for the longest time, the only one, until the ''Anime/DigimonAdventureTri'' series saw some theatrical issues).

* BreakoutCharacter: Terriermon ended up becoming one of the partner Digimon in the PowerTrio in ''Anime/DigimonTamers'', and is the only later addition Digimon to get enough merch to rival the ''Adventure'' cast.

->''"YOU'VE! GOT! MAIL!!"''

* AdaptationPersonalityChange: After Veemon and Terriermon respectively digivolved into Magnamon and Rapidmon, they became a lot more hammy and talkative than they were in the original. In the original, they [[TheQuietOne talk very little]], to the point that ''they never even [[TransformationNameAnnouncement announced]] their names''.

* OffModel: There are two Terriermon in the cover of the movie. In the actual movie, there is only one: Willis' (although maybe one was supposed to be Kokomon's 'Rookie').

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Getting a truly massive amount of emails on a 90's dial-up internet connection gives them huge amounts of internet lag which ends up contributing to [=WarGreymon=] and [=MetalGarurumon's=] asskicking when they can't keep up. Izzy uses it to turn the tables on Diaboromon so Omnimon can deal the death blow milliseconds before the nukes could blow.

* RealityEnsues: Getting a truly massive amount of emails on a 90's dial-up internet connection gives them huge amounts of internet lag which ends up contributing to [=WarGreymon=] and [=MetalGarurumon's=] asskicking when they can't keep up. Izzy uses it to turn the tables on Diaboromon so Omnimon can deal the death blow milliseconds before the nukes could blow.

* ArtisticLicense: A technological case in a ''major'' plot point during the second act of the movie. [=WarGreymon=] and [=MetalGarurumon=] wind up getting their connetion speed cut by millions of people flooding Izzy's email account. Not only do emails not interfere with internet connection, but [=MetalGarurumon=] shouldn't even be affected since he's patched in through ''an entirely different internet connection.'' This is forgivable however since the plot would lose a good deal of drama without it.

The rest of the Digimon movies would later be dubbed as well, though unlike this movie, were all kept in their separate entries. They were only shown on Creator/ToonDisney with no DVD releases. You can find them on Website/YouTube.

** The Mega-level when introduced in the first season was already this but in this movie we have two Mega-level Digimon digivolve together to a more powerful Mega. Also, since this scene takes place before Season 2, no one had any idea that digimon could merge at all, let alone two Megas.

* ShoutOut: Imperialdramon flying upwards while gusts of wind blow past him is reminiscent of a shot from the ''Anime/{{Devilman}}'' opening where Devilman did the exact same thing.

* OffModel: There are two Terriermon in the cover of the movie. In the actual movie, there is only one: Willis' (although maybe one was supposed to be Kokomon's 'Rookie').

* FourIsDeath: The movie's three parts are each separated by a span of four years and at the beginning four Digimon are born into the human world, Parrotmon, implied to have been the fourth to do so, being the evil one. If one were to subscribe to the theory that the virus in parts two and three was the reincarnation of Parrotmon from part one, then it's various lives would pan out as such, 1) Parrotmon, 2) Diaboromon, 3) [[spoiler: infected Kokomon]], and 4) [[DeaderThanDead DEATH]] cause FourIsDeath.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: in the first segment (which is kind of the original pilot to the series) Greymon has a more horizontal body structure like an actual therapod dinosaur instead of the more upright one he would have in all other adaptations.

* BlindIdiotTranslation: It ought to be "Diablomon", not "Diaboromon".
