Hewy's Animated Movie Reviews #24 Digimon: The Movie 1/3 (13+ Content)

0:01 [Music] me do where are we going this time is this the 50s of 1999 so take me away I don't mind but you better promise me I'll be back in time got to get back in [Music] time hey everybody huie Lewis Here welcome to the first episode of hu's anime movie reviews season 3 what can you say about Japanese

0:46 monster fats from Pokemon to Yu-Gi-Oh I've always been a sucker for them but sadly fans come and go when Pokemon was first released in the states I watched the show and played the games up until the third season when Yu-Gi-Oh came out I collected the cards and watched the show up until GX R its ugly head but amidst all these franchises there was one that immediately grabbed my attention and I've loved it ever since this is Digimon now most of us remember the animated series that aired in August of 1999 but Digimon actually start on Japan in 1997 as a digital pet by the company tamagachi every owner would start out with a baby Digimon train it evolve it take care of

1:34 it and then have battles with other Digimon owners to see who was Stronger like most Japanese games and toys it was quickly requested to be an animated series now I was skeptical about the commercials for this show I mean my brother owned a digital monster but it didn't seem really exciting but I thought I'd give the show a chance so August 1999 came and the opening title appeared on screen from that moment I was [Music]

2:21 hooked this show had action comedy more action drama romance and occasional violence that revolved around 7 kids that later became eight called the digi destined and their quest to save the digital world from various villains that inhabited it the kids included Tai Matt TK Sora Joe Izzy and Mimi I'm hungry I'm tired and my feet hurt I really hate Mimi each of the characters had a unique personality which made it more believable to be a team or more than that a family we had a leader a lone wolf an innocent boy a Den mother a voice of reason a high-tech whiz and a spoiled [ __ ] like I said later in the

3:06 show Tai's younger sister Ki joins the team and made our little family here complete from beginning to end each episode was an adventure much like Sonic is an alternative to Mario Digimon treated itself more seriously and was a perfect alternative to Pokemon and much like Pokemon Digimon got its own movie and that is the subject of my review today so released in America on October 6th 2000 the movie is Digimon the movie unlike other anime movies I've reviewed this movie actually opens up with an episode of Angela Anaconda which is just remake of an episode from the series I will give it credit though it did parody what most Digimon fans did at its

3:52 theatrical release chanting and waiting in line for several hours now don't get me wrong but when I go to see a movie I want to see the movie not some short that helps promote the movie why must you keep us waiting why well at least it's better than the Pikachu movie we then cut to the fox Kids logo which is probably the only time we'll ever see it in movie theaters then finally the movie begins with the opening tiles and a rap remix of the Digimon Theme song theu it's up and did you see did you did you know what's coming Destiny today let [Music] me man that's cool many other them songs

4:40 like this get remixed or reprised for their movie counterparts much like Pokemon or speed racer but this one for the lack of a better phrase is worth it only the Transformers movies could have done that damn you Michael b anyway we then cut to who says there's no such thing as monsters uh you're never quite the same after you meet your first Digimon my name is Ki I'm part of a team called the digi Destiny I'm sorry but do we really need a backstory here this movie was made for the fans right so the fans already know what Digimon are and where they came from Pokemon the first movie didn't start with a backstory it started with a prologue whatever proceed and that's

5:26 Willis in America while the rest of us in Japan only had one Digimon he had twins and while we had our team to count on Willis didn't have any human friends only his two Digimon H well there's something we didn't know oh I forgot to mention that this isn't a featurelength movie like Pokemon Dragon Ball Z or more recently Astro Boy instead it's three short movies in one edited down to give us an 84-minute movie with a story that spans all three parts the first segment is known in Japan as Digimon Adventure the movie it focuses on Tai and Ki Kamya 4 years before their Adventure in the digital world Ty and Ki wake up one morning to find a Digi egg that came out of their computer the night before and the Egg soon hatches revealing a bon come here

6:13 little baby oh crap it's a face hugger quick kill before it implants an egg into his stomach it then runs Glides rolls whatever under the [Music] bed did it steal the power from Bubble Man or something I mean blowing bubbles and then the bomon and car began to whistle of the Digimon Theme Song okay k then feeds bormon Ty's candy after a small talk and a phone call that gets cut Bon dig evolves into coron it can't get any worse

7:00 it just got worse oh just lovely what the uh um uh what was that word the film buff used baldheaded kadi mov yeah that's it it's then evening time and we hear Tai's mother announce one of her Infamous recipes kids I made your favorite lick yeah sounds delicious let me list that with the other recipes

7:46 I've been offered such as Mexican cabbage egg and spinach Curry surprise and not forgetting the Every Flavor omelet during the night Ki wakes up TI to witness coron dig evolve into an over auman you should know that this foron isn't the one we became friends with later on when this one digol he expanded more than my uncle Fred at Thanksgiving this aaman then goes out and unintentionally destroys a good part of the neighborhood with K riding on his back and Ty not far behind them we then get a scene which is to me hands down the funniest piece of dialogue in the movie it starts when aaman crosses the road and nearly gets hit by a semi trck the driver's response did you see that no I was sleeping but you're driving oh

8:33 I also forgot to mention that the English translations in this movie consist of mostly jokes and on liners but don't worry they're not bad in fact there's something you or I would say in conversation under the right circumstances just then a second Digi egg one that looks like the freaking Death Star appears in the sky to reveal an evil Digimon parrotmon okay now we're starting to get somewhere probably want a cracker a really big cracker we then go through the cliche battle aama tries to fight parmon but isn't strong enough after being knocked down by parrotmon he dig evolves into the badass dinosaur gryon oron I'm Greymon now you can be whoever

9:22 you want big guy yeah time to kick some big bird ass no my Play WA did you see that he just blew half his wing up awesome but after an unforeseen attack greymond is knocked out Ty then sees Ki trying to blow her whistle to wake up graymon but to no avail this gives Tai an [Music] idea [Music] oh he's pissed now and with all his

10:10 might greymond fires the biggest Nova blast that wipes out parrotmon to a piece of kickass music but unfortunately the attack also affects greymond himself and now more narration from Ki that night changed our lives it was a while before we realized that those of us who saw saw what happened became the digi destined it was even longer before we found out that Willis met his Digimon that same night he had to learn on his own that being a dig Destiny means sometimes you got to save the world even if you're the one who caused the problem
