History YMMV / DigimonTheMovie

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Sora in the "Our War Game" section of the movie. She spends the whole movie feeling sore at Tai for getting her a hairpin as a gift because she thought it meant Tai didn't like the way she does her hair. There is no indication whatsoever that this was truly the case, yet Tai suffers InformedWrongness for having gotten her that gift, as though the rift between him and Sora is entirely his fault. Sora also doesn't come off well when she lets her personal feelings of anger at Tai get in the way of her possibly helping him and Izzy with their current crisis, even when she's right outside of the Kamiyas' apartment.

* ContinuityLockout: Oh does it try to be accessible to the uninitiated, but between being three segments from three different points in time (before the start of ''Adventure'', post-''Adventure'', and in the middle of ''[=02=]'''s first arc), good luck not getting lost if you're not already somewhat familiar with the series. Perhaps Fox was aware of this, because the VHS release of the movie opens with a long featurette giving the gist of ''Adventure'''s plot, characters, and Digimon, along with ''[=02=]'''s opening theme.

** A smaller one, but in the Japanese version of ''Our War Game'', the part where Izzy reads an email from a kid insulting [=WarGreymon=] is very clearly just him reading ''multiple'' emails that say such small, barely stinging comments like "You lost again?" or "You almost won, what were you doing?", and Tai attacks Izzy about it despite knowing that he's not the one saying these things. In the dub, Izzy reads one long and fairly cruel email with no indication that his words are coming from someone else, making Tai's outburst a little bit more justified. Even better, we get some legitimate humor from it!

** Datedness be damned, Izzy's PreAsskickingOneLiner near the end of ''Our War Game'' is the most badass use of America Online's old "You've Got Mail" sound ''ever''. It was even kept in for the upcoming re-dub of ''Our War Game'', as shown in the [[https://twitter.com/discotekmedia/status/1685352895645188096 announcement trailer.]]

** Both this movie's soundtrack and the one for ''Anime/PokemonTheFirstMovie'' serve as nice little [[TheNineties late '90s]] music time capsules, but whereas ''Pokemon'' leaned more towards teen pop, ''Digimon'' is more on the alternative/pop-rock side, with its originally-composed songs being more in a skate punk style. Case in point: the movie ends with Music/SmashMouth's "All Star".

* ContinuityLockout: Oh, does it try to be accessible to the uninitiated. However, between being 3 segments from three different points in time (before the start of season 1, after season 1, and in the middle of season 2), good luck not getting lost if you're not already somewhat familiar with the series. Perhaps Fox was aware of this, because the VHS release of the movie opens with a long featurette giving the gist of season 1's plot, characters, and Digimons, as well as ''[=02=]'''s opening theme.

** The ''WesternAnimation/AngelaAnaconda'' cartoon at the beginning also dates this movie to the same period, as the show has since been mostly forgotten except by CausticCritic style reviewers. Tellingly, when the movie was rereleased, the short was dropped.
