Digimon - Season 1
Released in DVD by Twentieth Century Fox (05 December, 2000)
Average review score: 

To a Digimon fan like me, it's good. But..I'd wish they put more episodes on the DVD, i mean its a dvd. They only put the episodes from the first time the summer camp kids came till the end they saved File Island. I just wished they put the shows in another language like Japanese. The digi-bloopers were ok, but not funny. FOX made alot of mistakes, even giving this show away was a big mistake. But this DVD is enjoyable to watch. It's good enough for me to hold on. That means I'm keeping mine. But when I got this from a Toys R. Us. store near me (there was only one) it was a lot cheaper.
The Bestthis DVD is the best. Not like the cut that there was in the VHS tapes. The cut in the VHS Tapes were from the time the Kids Left File island to the time myonismon took kari. I think that this DVD is the best ever made. Because i was dissapointed when i couldn't see who beat Devimon. All i could see is there first incounter with Devimon.

Digimon - The Movie
Released in DVD by Twentieth Century Fox (02 September, 2003)
Like the similar Pokémon craze, the animated Digimon TV series has spawned a full-length theatrical film. The two phenomena are similar: kids collect monsters and go on adventures. While Pokémon has a sense of odyssey and a wisp of a moral, Digimon is flat-out rough-and-tumble adventure. Can an adult figure out the digi-details of the digi-world? Here's a digi-shot. That world is full of evolving monsters that live and fight in their own ways. The digi-world and real world can intermix, and one of the portals is the Internet. So kids sit at their laptops and fight with their digi-monsters in an abstract environment that looks like something from Tron but with none of the cool. The first 50 of 83 minutes is backstory that takes place eight years earlier. So everyone is grown up (as the time frame leaps over all the original Digimon TV 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. (Ages 6 to 12) --Doug Thomas
Average review score: 

A little bit disappointing...While this movie had its merits, it was overall disappointing.
What the dubbers did was combine three completely unrelated thirty-minute movies into one long, drawn-out movie with a strange sense of pacing, and a confusing plot that will make even the biggest Digi fan's head spin.
That said, I did really enjoy Chocomon and Gummimom's story, it was quite creepy. The fight scene was pretty cool, though I think that the animators don't really utilize very interesting camera angles or vary the perspective, which makes the animation seem a little boring.
Oh, and one more thing that I thought was really quite unneccesary was the "Angela Anaconda" short at the beginning- very bizarre, and most unfunny.

Digimon: Digital Monsters - True Stories of the MoviesBefore I talk about THIS movie, I should let all you Digimon fans know about a few other things about the Digimon movies: . . .
* In the original Japanese version, there are 7 Digimon Movies, the first two are involved with Season 1, with the origin of the Digi-Destined (translated into here), the Battle with Diaboromon on the Internet where WarGreymon & MetalGarurumon DNA-Digivolve into Omnimon (translated here) and the third movie, in the middle of Season 2, where T.K. & Kari, Davis, Yolei & Cody meet Willis (finally translated). All 3 movies had various scenes cut-out as there was not enough money to make a 2hr Movie - with movie 3 having the MOST cut-out scenes, having the older Digi-Destined captured. The animation, unfortunately, is not better than the TV Show, but its movement is slightly improved. The voices do okay, but not as well as the TV Show.
The other 4 movies, beginning with the 4th Movie "Diablomon/Diaboromon Strikes Back" is set after the Digi-Destiend defeat MaloMyotismon, and they are havinga battle against Diaboromon's Baby forms who converge into Armagemon. Omnimon/Omegamon and Imperialdramon Fighter Mode cannot beat him, until Omegamon's body of energy becomes Excalibur the Sword, transforming Imperialdramon into his Paladin Mode and defeating Armagemon.
Movie 5 & 6 have not been translated and are involved with "Season 3: Digimon Tamers", the 5th Movie (in the middle of the Season between eps 18 & 19) has Takato, Henry & Rika fighting Mephitsomon-Galfmon, who attempts to controil the world with V-Pets. And the 6th Movie is set after Season 3, with more of the TV Characters fighting an evil Parasite digimon controling a train Digimon who runs amuck in the Real world.
The final 7th Digimon Movie, "Revival of the Ancient Digimon" is set in the middle of "Season 4: Digimon Frontier" where the Digi-destined come across an island where human-type and beast-type digimon war against eachother and the children must stop the deception.
All the Digimon are less than an hour, running for either 3O mins or 51 mins. However the animation in movies 5-7 is better but looking closer to the show. It would've been better if they did Movies 1-2 first, then 3-4 as a sequel, followed by 5-6 for a third movie and putting 7 as a bonus feature.
BUT IT WAS REALLY GOOD ALL THE SAME!

excellent!I loved digimon from day one (summer 1999). the humor is alot better than pokemon's and most of the jokes will have adults laughing. I loved the action in this movie.
