This full-length animated film actually isn't bad.

Reviews for Digimon: The Movie
The fight scenes ... are thrilling, the friendships among the Digidestined children are way cool, and the protective gestures of the older kids toward the younger ones in the movie are probably a good example for all.

The movie doesn't even try for coherence. Each of its three distinct episodes is barely comprehensible in itself.
01/01/00
The animation itself isn't anything special -- not that the target audience cares much about that. But the message is sweet and empowering.

Top CriticNot 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.

Top CriticPlots are difficult to follow and use the words 'Digi' and 'Mon' to an obnoxious degree.

With its migraine-inducing laser showdowns and puerile gags ... Digimon almost makes you nostalgic for the relative sophistication of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Top CriticIf there is any taste left in the world, the buck may very well stop here.

Top CriticAfter about an hour, the picture simply runs out of plot. When another adventure is introduced, you're all but invited to check your watch.

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.

Top CriticI'm sorry, but it's highly unlikely that few will argue with the point that more than one such 'mon' game, TV show or movie is one too many.
01/01/00
What is particularly unappealing and troublesome about the feature is that it is a video game barely disguised as a movie.
01/01/00
Top CriticAnimation work is generally far below the standard tolerable for the bigscreen.

Top CriticThe film is strictly for the kiddies, there's not that many grownups who would stand for monsters going at each other yelling Fart POWER!!!!! or whatever it is they're saying.

The movie can actually make for a great afternoon.
01/01/00
This picture is such a hyperactive hodgepodge ... mostly because it's cobbled together from three short Japanese movies.
01/01/00
Still just another excuse to sell trading cards and video games to your unsuspecting offspring.
01/01/00
Top CriticI found the movie exciting enough to keep me interested.
01/01/00
A frenzied, cacophonic cartoon feature (actually two featurettes shakily stitched together).
