Digimon The Movies 1-3 Collection

Best movies yet! Very nostalgic
Having all the options in one blue ray is a real special treat! Being able to watch all the movies as their original format as well as dubbed with the original cast was outstanding! I would say I’m too used to the English’s soundtrack but still enjoyed it nonetheless!

Absolutely perfect for fans of Digimon
This is one of the best remasters I have ever seen to an anime. I waited over 20 years for these movies to be released in the USA uncut! I absolutely love this.

Drier Than a Desert, But I Wouldn’t Have It Any Other Way
This film collection, even on the factor of one film alone, is everything the fans could have been hoping for. An overwhelming quantity of returning cast means you get to re-experience the film as intended but not without the voices you remember. The script is not here to win anyone BUT the fans over, but that is perfectly fine as the ORIGINAL edited version of the American release was included as well, so parents looking for a decent film for their kids to watch albeit probably with poor informing of the premise and characters will still be able to give them a more accessible version of the movies.And most important of all, the deliciously full widescreen expertly restored quality of the film is just impeccable. It’s impossible to really praise it sufficiently without seeing it for yourself, but the animation quality is stellar and it’s CGI has aged like a fine wine.For diehard fans of the franchise this is absolutely a must buy and delivered on all expectations. And with the original cut included, it makes for a perfectly fine option as well. Please buy this movie so we can get the rest recut and rereleased.

Yes
Brought me back to my childhood. Warm and friendly. At one point 10 years ago I had some mid-quality ports on a hard drive from a Bittorrent because these are so insanely expensive and difficult to find in the USA. If that last sentence irks you, it probably should, because my ISP almost fined me for the habit.That being said, I've watched all the original Japanese cuts, yet to watch the remastered Digimon Movie and New English Dub.Thoughts on Japanese cuts: I only discerned a slight loss/clipping in audio in "01 Digimon Adventure" at the beginning when the Bolero is playing, although I am not sure if that is from the source or some thing after the source (like encryption/encoding/writing etc).That being said I love this movie and all of them. They are so cute and charming and friendly.The audio is crisp and clean and Hosoda Mamoru has an incredible style, stuck with a lot of 90's kids.Hurricane Touchdown's title is confusing, as it appears to be composed of two parts: the second being called "Golden Digimentals!!". Outside the USA, intermissions half-way into a movie are common, and so the before-mentioned name is this specific second part. Thus the single movie itself has one name composed of two sub-names. ;)I highly recommend this. Thank you so much for this!!

Prodigious!
Extremely excited to get a recut of these movies plus the originals in high quality format! It's so great to see such crisp video quality on a nice tv.

One of the best movies and extremely hard to find.
This is one of the best old school "cartoon" movies from the early 2000's. This product is extremely hard to find online. I couldn't find any online only versions of this movie, but loved it so much I had to purchase a physical copy. DVD arrived in a timely manner and no damage to the product as well.

Take a trip back in time and pretend Saban didn't kneecap one of its only theatrical releases.
Got this as a Valentine's Day present to myself, and got around to watching it tonight. It's the first three Digimon films, uncut, and re-dubbed with the entire surviving English cast.Also included, for those absolutely nostalgic, is the American cut from 2000 which mashed all three films together into one incoherent plot.Dialogue has been re-dubbed, but so much of the English writing from 2000 is unchanged, save for the mentions of Willis being removed from Our War Game, and not to mention Kari no longer narrating every freaking thing. Part of me wanted to be surprised, but to be perfectly fair, it was very, very solid writing, right up until the third film.It leads me to the same verdict that many other fans, and even Fox Kids dubbing director Jeff Nimoy had after preview screenings in 2000:The third film, Hurricane Touchdown, was absolutely the fatal weak point, and was included mainly due to Haim Saban's repeated insistence.Cutting the third film would have left us with a runtime barely over 61 minutes, but I really feel that would have been acceptable, because it really, truly derailed the American release 25 years ago. Even standalone, I recall Hurricane Touchdown was largely panned over in Japan as well.I would honestly change only one thing for this re-release; I would have included Udi Harpaz's Saban-commissioned musical score; it was truly a treat for the ears, and this may be nostalgia talking, but it's better than what was in original sub.

Good movies
Gives an upgrade to the original while also adapting a truer sense of story. I wish they had made a version with the American music and told the truer stories. Also the Angela Anconda scene before the movie is finally gone!!!!
