Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
The film has an unrelenting staccato quality. Some would say a jackhammer quality.

rotten:
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.
