Apparently the amount of changes made to the English movie were so vast that the Voice Actor's Guild classified it as an original work instead of a dub. Which fucked the studio execs a bit because voice acting for original works pays higher than voice acting for a dub. So hooray to Fox bigwigs having to shell out more money to the actors!

Now this wasn’t on my bingo card

I have such a deep love for this movie. Back when me n my siblings were little and we had the DVD, we'd watch this every. single. day. For months if not years, until my mom had a friend over who had a child about our age (old enough to know what she was doing), who then took her mother's keys to the DVD and ruined it. By that time, the DVDs were no longer being sold. On my 16th birthday, I saw this playlist had been uploaded and watched the movie by myself and was the happiest I'd ever been on my birthday.

Fun fact: Digimon Adventure tri. retconned it so that the first movie's Koromon is the same as the main series one. Agumon gets his memories of the first movie back after the Digital World is rebooted.

No cap the soundtrack for this movie is extremely underrated. Time capsule to the late 90's early 2000's.

My favourite line from this movie is “phones have gone dead whole wide, if your telephone is dead please call your phone company”

Speaking of integrating website code into Digimon lore... My favorite Easter egg involves ZeedMillenniumon, a Digimon said to be so powerful he can't be defeated, and the only way to stop him was to bind him in encrypted data. If you translate the barcode on ZeedMillenniumon's bindings, it spells out Bandai's website URL. So the joke is that only the creators themselves can contain him. Also speaking of Millenniumon; in the Adventure reboot, there's a scene where Millenniumon traps the kids in his little pocket dimension and starts "compressing their data," which the show depicts as them being slowly crushed by an endless black void, and that's terrifying.

Hoping there's some mention of the fact that the guy who made the Digimon: Our War Game, Mamoru Hosoda, then pretty much remade the whole movie again. It's called Summer Wars and despite being the same plot it slaps just as hard! Hosoda's movies in general are absolutely amazing. It makes me happy that he started by making this dope Digimon movie and has only gone up ever since. I highly recommend Wolf Children, Summer Wars, and Belle to anyone who will listen.

I was 3 when this movie came out (born 1997) and my brother was 8 (1992) and I can’t thank my brother enough for introducing me to digimon

Oh it's canon. In the original anime, they sort of have a realization moment of "this happened before" when they return to the real world to fight Digimon. Then they all realize they saw the fight between Greymon and Parrotmon as children. It's both in the dub and sub I believe. Plus the Agumon here is the same Agumon as in the anime, as I believe he also had those memories. Though I think it was a "he died and became a digi-egg" thing to later be found by Tai again.

When Jarvis hits that low register… I just want him to keep singing!

I get to watch the original japanese version and let me tell you, this hits different. There was no voice-over, no introduction intro, just Ty waking up and seeing his sister standing in front of computer to start it off. The first movie was actually the Digimon pilot, it was supposed to be watched before Digimon Adventure and the context carries into the main plot. It was wild watching the series as a kid then get mind blown by the realization that Ty's Agumon and the pilot's Agumon was the same

fun fact in the sequel movie to the internet one, they not only dubbed it as well years later but introduced a new evolution in it. Warp Dna digivolution. Meaning you can fuse 2 rookies as they go into mega to skip straight into omegamon / omnimon. Imagine fighting a tiny lizard and dog and they turn into literally a digital sir lancelot in seconds!

I love that Someone I enjoy watching loves digimon.

As a pokemon fan I always forget that Digimon can talk and it catches me off guard every time

Someone in the chat at one point said they don't remember much about Digimon but they remember going hard to the theme song and honestly I've never related to a statement so strongly.

1:42:53 there is a ton of biblical imagery in digimon, there’s Lucemon named after Lucifer, he even looks identical to early depictions of Lucifer where he’s a young boy with many Angel wings. Same for many other digimon, and it’s largely linked to the Shin Megami Tensei series and it’s effect on Japanese Pop Culture, with how it popularized western religious iconography into fictional characters

Shout out to the stellar localization team that worked on Digimon. A lot of my favorite moments aren't even in the original dub.

It's crazy that those first two Digimon shorts were the origin story for Mamoru Hosoda, who's basically Japan's Pixar now.

I was a Pokemon kid through-and-through, but my small hometown's public library had a VHS copy of Digimon Adventure 2 that I watched on a weekly basis. I remember feeling a bizarre depth of emotion over that movie's storyline, too much emotion for a five-year-old to sort out, and you've now convinced me to rewatch it as an adult :)

So, Ultimate-level is a bit confusing, because the dub uses it for Level 5 (Perfect in Japan), while in Japan that's the term for Level 6 (Mega in the dub). Keramon was a Level 3 (Rookie/Child) and skipped Level 4 (Champion/Adult) to evolve to the Level 5 Infermon. Diaboromon, WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon are all Level 6.

It's coming to Blu-ray. Discotek also commissioned new dubs for the three films that made up this movie. Hurricane Touchdown, in particular, got a lot of cuts. The new dubs are uncut, and they've got nearly everybody back to do them who isn't retired, dead or Haim Saban's stepdaughter. And they thought through the replacements, like instead of Bob Papenbrook as Red Greymon in this first part, they got his son Bryce Papenbrook.

5 minutes in and Im going to die of nostalgia overload. I love Pokemon but the Digimon movie was something else. And that animation is sooooo clean. Also that caption at 1:11:15

This was such a bomb ass stream!

41:06 Wargreymon is referred to as an Ultimate in the original Japanese version, but that level is called Mega in the English version. What, in the English version, is referred to as Ultimate is called Perfect in the Japanese version (or, when translating their words into english) It's kinda weird, "Perfect = Ultimate and Ultimate = Mega", admitedly. Infermon skipped the Champion level int... 42:17 yeah.

I never watched Digimon… don’t have any nostalgia for it.. but I love watching Jarvis with that childlike sparkle in his eye get so excited watching (i have chills, this might make me cry etc) lol!!

Watching this gave me chills throughout. Such a great movie!! Glad I could experience it again with Jarvis!

OMG I ALWAYS WONDERED WHAT JARVIS WAS REFERENCING WHEN HE RANDOMLY SINGS "IT'S BEEN-" obviously I couldn't look up the lyrics 🤣

I will have the Digimon theme song stuck in my head for the next decade.

So wild to me that I still have this entire movie memorized even after all this time. Also excited for the HD re-release of the movie and re-dubbing that discotek is doing. I would never have though we would get the OG movies with a proper dub or that they would have been able to get so many of the original VAs back.

Your joy in watching this was everything! I honestly never got into Digimon, but this was fun to watch because of how excited you were lol

The Japanese version of the third movie never really explains exactly what happened to Chocomon/Kokomon, but the fact that he disappeared in a windstorm and returns as a wendigo-based Digimon seems to imply that like it's supposed to be based on the actual myth of the wendigo, which travels via the wind and transforms people into wendigos themselves, and that Wendigomon had just lost his mind after being apart from Wallace/Willis for so long. During the battle with Cherubimon, Wallace condemns him as not being the Chocomon that he once knew, but as the force that took him away, and the Japanese version has scenes where the baby Chocomon's voice speaks to Wendimon's present self telling him that Wallace isn't the same as the child he remembers and to reject him. I think that's meant to be the wendigo possessing him? And when he turns into Cherubimon's good form at the end, Wallace notes that this is the REAL Chocomon.

This was a nostalgia trip I was not expecting. Also fun lore stuff: The events of Our War Game are heavily implied (I don't think they ever mention it in the series) to be the origin of Digimon 02 (series 2) digi-destined. We see cameos of 02 characters, but also the fact that people all over the world were watching the fight correlates with the appearance of new chosen kids around the world. Just a neat plot thread that they continued from the initial short film.

Been watchin videos for about a year now. Big fan. But by far this is my favorite video. This movie is such a huge part of my childhood and frankly watching Jarvis get so excited about it feels so validating. My heart is smiling. Thanks Jarvis for helping make the beginning of the year wonderful

The rush of nostalgia I was NOT expecting! WOW. I'm 29 and watched this movie religiously as a kid. Thank you for bringing this back into my life ✌️

Digimon can fight on their own but the digivice is used to access the digivolutions.

The Japanese versions of the original 3 movies are actually really good. Especially the 3rd part which was the longest movie and got cut the most, the original is my favourite of the 3. It has this really freaky dreamlike vibe with the animation and weird music through the entire thing. There's also another movie using the 02 cast called Revenge of Diaboromon which kind of continues Our War Game. I'm pretty sure my favourite part from the Japanese first part of the movie (the original movie is just called like Digimon Adventure or something since it was supposed to be the pilot for the show, but it makes it confusing since it has the same name as the anime lmao) was cut from Digimon The Movie. Basically when Greymon and Parrotmon are fighting Greymon shoves his horn through Parrotmons beak and shatters it. It's a really sick bit of animation and I adore it. I genuinely recommend watching the original movies tho. They're really good and as much as I love the dub, it really doesn't do them justice. The first 2 parts aren't too bad, but especially the 3rd part was robbed. Most of Digimon doesn't give me nostalgia since I've been consistently watching it throughout my entire life, but that movie does. It feels like a weird dream about summer vacation. Anyways I need to stop before I just ramble about Digimon for an unnecessary amount of time because I love it with my whole entire being. Oh and if you like Tamers then I highly suggest checking out Digimon Ghost Game. It's the newest anime series and gets even darker than Tamers as it goes on. It's not very plot driven, having a monster of the week format for most episodes, but the individual episodes and characters are really solid. It's one of the best Digimon animes in years and probably my 2nd favourite overall.

when i see jarvis johnson livestream i watch even tho i have never consumed any form of digimon media before

Honestly, this felt like normal for the time (Having a crazy/silly OST of modern (at the time) pop). I remember the first Pokemon movie was all over the place with it's localized OST. They were so afraid of us hearing Japanese and then hating everything that it's kind of crazy.

Thanks for this fantastic stroll down memory lane. Watched this movie so much as a kid and it still hits the feels. The quips, the music, the animation...everything is so good!

This was great I hope Jarvis does more watch alongs cause I’ve never seen this movie as a kid but it was great

Very fun stream! So cute how excited Jarvis gets. I enjoyed Digimon but wasn't a big fan (tho had a Digimon virtual pet) as I sensed it was talking above my grade level even while edited despite relating to Matt and T.K tho not fully knowing why. Would like to watch it subbed one day especially Tamers. My favorites were Leomon, WereGarurumon and Guilmon 😊

Aww damn, I missed the Christmas stream because I was at work. I love Digimon so goddamn much and wish I had been there live.

I may be inspired to just watch the original Japanese version of all 3 of these movies to see the original plots. Thanks Jarvis

So cool to see more people acknowledging digimon!! I feel like it was pretty popular but I rarely see it get talked about

Bruh, it’s been a loooooong time since I’ve seen someone else be able to quote the movie word for word, line for line. Loved this movie growing up too. Big props to you, Jarvis. ✨

So glad I caught this VOD before it gets taken down. Legit watch this every year. Should react to the Abridgimon movie as a video next. :P

I liked Armor Digivolving and it made sense in the story why they needed to do it

Hearing you talk about how you saw it as a kid and then again as a teenager and felt nostalgia...oh angelcakes I feel SEEN. That was exactly my experience, I saw it when I was young and took so long to see it again that I thought it was something I imagined. But I found it again years later and loved it! It was so much fun and the animation was so unique. Me and my older brother watched Digimon 1, 2, and Tamers every time it was on as kids. Truly some formative media.

Also, the war games storyline was so popular they made it the origin story in the new Digimon Adventure series.

This is the best video I have ever seen in my feed. Digimon is my favorite thing ever and Jarvis is one of my favorite content creators. I am so excited

Holy shit dude. Finally!!! Someone else who gets it!!! And someone else who remembers all the names of their evolved names. Even myself (44 yo f) can still appreciate this short lived franchise. Aaahhh sweet memories. Oh and BTW, the voice over for Deaboramon is Tony Todd the same dude who played the OG Candyman and the vo of the OG Dr. Claw from the OG Inspector Gadget.

every single frame of animation and line delivery is so packed with nostalgia for me. i must have watched this movie hundreds of times as a kid for it to make such a deep impression on me. but i truly do love this movie like a family member or something

Digimon man here, gonna address what may have been addressed before I tuck in, but it's that important: The Digimon Movie was originally two theatrical releases, smashed together with 30 minutes of film removed when brought to the west. Hurricane Touchdown is a different experience when watched as intended. My recommendation is always to refresh yourself on the American version for nostalgia, but do NOT sleep on the originals. Anyway, our show is good, our TCG is fun, and our fanbase is welcoming. Karn EX is our most prominent Digimon only content creator!

That virus sequence and battle was our Avengers endgame❤️❤️

I accidentally fell asleep during this, and I woke up during the Angela Anaconda section. That is one show from my childhood I'm ok not remembering. It felt like a fever dream back then, and still does now.

This was awesome. I’d love to see your reaction to some other nostalgic films

That line "did you see that? nah i was sleeping... But you're driving!"🤣 It's been one of my favorite parts of that movie for years. The waking up greymon with the whistle part too, love it! Also when tai trying to call Matt & tk and how their grandma is 😂 Izzy drinking those drinks from tai's mom 🤣

This and the first MewTwo movie are probably my favorite childhood films.

*sigh* now I gotta watch the whole 2 hours

I don't think this ever aired here in Brazil. So thank you so much for presenting this to me Jarvis

I enjoyed watching this movie in theaters in the early 2000s when I was a kid

This is one of my favorite movies growing up I still watch it from time to time

Lol movie bring back memories funniest part is Tai on phone with lady “didn’t you hear me…it’s busy” 😂

OHHHHHH THIS MAKES SENSE NOW! I never understood the time skip forward to them knowing all about digimon, but it makes sense that it follows AFTER the shows seasons at the time but the beginning of the movie was like a prequel to everything! I SEE NOW! I LOVE THIS MOVIE EVEN MORE NOW

I was obsessed with the soundtrack for this movie, I watched it all the time. I’m bummed I missed this stream! The nostalgia is so real haha

This gives me goosebumps. The theme goes so hard.

I never knew I needed this, but I needed this

Digimon was my jam when I was a teen. I was getting clips & info from a MESSAGE BOARD (lmao this was as social media as it got back then) run by someone who was a translator for the show, so I had all the ins for the original Japanese series 🤣 But seeing the American movie when I knew what the Japanese movies were like was such a letdown. I hoarded tons of original Japanese songs, fan art, official books, etc. I still have all that stuff too. I was older than you at that time but Digimon was a very important show to me as well! I still love it to this day & keep myself up-to-date on any Digimon happenings out there (obviously they're few & far between anymore). It's so good to see people bringing back the hype for it. Pokemon was good for its games but Digimon was so much better for its show, story & characters.

“Is that the coolest thing you’ve seen or what?” Omnimon: Am I a joke to you?

Hopefully this doesn't come across as parasocial? this video felt like watching a series/movie you know nothing about with your friend who is an expert on that one niche topic, and getting to hear them infodump about the thing they're passionate about rules :)

Man, I had this on VHS when I was little. I watched it so many times. Gotta love the nostalgia! I loved the Digimon anime

I'll say it... Jarvis' best video ever! Dude I watched this movie hundreds of times as a kid!

The Houston driving is very realistic.😂

Its so fun seeing someone enjoy this movie as much as I do when none of my friends have the same nostalgia for it 💚

I know I’m late but let me explain the evolution stage mix ups during our war game. The confusion comes from the fact that there are two different names for each stage depending on language. In Japanese it goes Baby I, Baby II, Child, Adult, Perfect, Ultimate. While in America it goes Baby, In Training, Rookie, Champion, Ultimate, Mega. You’ll notice both have ultimate, but they’re different stages between languages. In JP ultimate is 6th, while in US ultimate is 5th. This is where the confusion comes from. Jarvis read Wargreymon’s JP stage but Infermon’s US Stage. Infermon is a 5th stage Digimon, or US Ultimate. Diaboromon/Wargreymon/MetalGarurumon are all 6th stage Digimon, or US mega.

This makes me so much happier than I thought It would!

omg, i recently started re-watching the original digimon anime, the stars are alligning

Had the vhs of this and would watch it whenever I could use the tv when I was a kid🤯 now I’m gonna be going through all the digimon series cause it’s a worth itch

I started bobbing my head when One Week came on and I realized Jarvis was doing the same thing. I really liked this video and watching how much fun Jarvis was having, this is me watching Newsies 1992. I wonder if this is how Jarvis got interested in tech?

Now that I'm older, I can tell that a lot of the dialgue probably wasn't in the original and made to have a much lighter and childish tone, but they are jsut too cute. Nostalgia all the way.

BILLIAM IS THE GOAT

jarvis has the same anxiety tick as me where when he messes up (or feels like he messed up) lyrics to a song he’s singing along to he looks around him after. I do that too idk why bc its not that deep its just habitual anxiety tick i guess

Pineapple Jalapeno on Pizza is ELITE. Also, this movie was so awesome, thank you for the nostalgia Jarvis!!

It's so insane watching the internet community in this film while also watching you watch it on various video platforms being streamed in the current internet age. Someone should make a reaction video to this video in 20 years so we can see what the internet looks like in 3 generations at once.

this is my new jarvis comfort vid

I really enjoyed watching you be so filled with nostalgia Rewatching it with you was indeed refreshing, I also got to quoting lines.....mind you haven't seen the movie in over a decade lol

sry i broke down laughing at the imagination of 30:03 auto-subtitles "it's Agumon and he's with Jedi!", "huuurrghhh! it's been a long time!" XD

Not me, a 25 year old man tearing up at the digimon movie lmao

Holy shit this is the best thing to see after work. I love digimon and I love billiam

billiams vids are epic

This is amazing and next level content. Giving Mystery Science Theatre 3000

Say what you want about the quality of the writing and the executive meddling and overreach, but the animation and voice acting in this still holds up ridiculously well considering the state of the industry at that time. Plus, some of the jokes still kill my sides to this day. Specifically about the mother's cooking!

i feel so alone in this because i never see anyone mention it but when i was high school i really loved watching digimon data squad. like i was always excited when it came on and i if i ever missed an episode i was so disappointed. i once interrupted hanging out with a friend so i could watch data savers lmao!

Man, I REALLY wanted to see Jarvis reacting to the Billiam video, because Billiam is VERY critical of that movie (rightfully so) while Jarvis almost only had nostalgic praise for it. It‘s a bummer it ends right before probably the best part, which now seems to be lost media.

i love this movie so much it’s unreal

The best movie that ever existed! Cinematic masterpiece! Love itttt

I was about to do my whatever number rewatch then stumbled onto this. Now I can pretend someone's watching it with me! lol.

damn, this played in theatres for me and was so nostalgic lol

I love this movie! Also I think they were in their baby forms to conserve energy and its easier for them to travel. They can be carried and they look like plush dolls...I think Also this movie is one reason why Cherubimon is my favorite digimon 1:35:07 did this man just say this is the worst part of the movie?! HUH???
