Summary: The new digital monsters together with the old 'Digidestined' unite to battle against the evil Digimon Emperor and his forces. They must save the 'Digiworld' from destruction...

Digital monsters--Digimon--that befriend humans are the subject of this three-segment animated film. In the first segment, a cute creature is hatched from a large egg that emerges from a computer and surprises its young owners by morphing into a spectacular creature. Segment two finds the owners, or the Digidestined, in a race to save the world when an evil Digimon morphs and takes over the Internet and telephone lines, eats the data pertinent to major cities, and even infiltrates the United States' nuclear weapons system. The Digidestined and their respective Digimon--who can change shape and morph into fantastic creatures capable of great speed and destruction--must determine the best way to defeat this killer virus. Part three finds the Digidestined working together again to defeat a virus that has turned a Digimon to the dark side. Ultimately, DIGIMON: THE MOVIE, which is based on the popular Anime television show, promotes teamwork and reminds children that they can make a difference in the world. The contemporary soundtrack is an added bonus, featuring Barenaked Ladies, Smashmouth, Fatboy Slim, Len, and the Mighty Mighty Bosstones.

Digimonthe TV series has spawned a full-length theatrical film, in a similar vain to the Pokémoncraze. The two phenomena are similar: kids collect monsters and go on adventures. While Pokémonhas a sense of odyssey and a wisp of a moral, Digimonis flat-out rough-and-tumble adventure. Can an adult figure out the digi-details of the digi-world? Here's a digi-shot: the world is full of evolving monsters that live and fight in their own way. The digi-world and real world can intermix, and one of the portals is the Internet. Children sit at their laptops and fight with their digi-monsters in an abstract environment that looks like something from Tronbut with none of the cool. The first 50 minutes is a flashback story that took place eight years earlier. So everyone has now grown up (as the time frame leaps over all the original DigimonTV shows), and Digimon and humans interact on Earth. A bad digi-virus is bent on revenge, and it will take more than a laptop to defend the planet. That said, if the end of the world ever looms, a golden digi-egg will be a good thing to have.
