When a powerful new Internet Digimon hatches and begins to consume data at an alarming rate, the Digidestined - kids chosen to save the digital world - must put an end to the destruction before the damage becomes irreversible and worldwide communication halts forever. As computer-based missiles are launched, and a wayward Digimon kidnaps the Digidestined, only the combined efforts of a worldwide network of kids and a new group of "Digidestined" can rescue the others and stop global disaster.

The film has an unrelenting staccato quality. Some would say a jackhammer quality.

Peter Stack, San Francisco Chronicle

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

The animation itself isn't anything special -- not that the target audience cares much about that. But the message is sweet and empowering.

[Parents] may be peering at their watches and sympathizing with the Digimon who wails, 'What do we have to do to stop this fighting?'

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.

Stephen Hunter, Washington Post
