Digimon is one of the most iconic series of the 90s. The franchise was hugely popular and had ten seasons and multiple movies. While it may not have been as popular as Pokémon, it has always had a small, dedicated fan base.
The movies were top-rated among their fans. And now, after decades, uncut versions of the film are finally getting released. And fans are enthralled by this news. Let’s find out more in detail about this news.
Discotek announced at Otakon that it would release four Digimon films in a “Digimon the Movies Collection 1” set, which will include: Digimon Adventure, Digimon Adventure Our War Game! Digimon Adventure 02: Digimon Hurricane Touchdown!!, and Digimon: The Movie.
The release will include the original versions of the four movies with new uncut dubs and featuring the original cast. The disc will also include Japanese audio with English subtitles for the films.
Digimon: The Movie will also be released in HD with the original dub. The dubbed version will include Japanese music.
Discotek said they found almost every cast member to work on this project. And the result is phenomenal. Many fans were hit by the nostalgic punch when they heard the voices of the characters they knew and loved.
The company added that new actors were cast. They cast them based on the energy and vibe of the voice fans heard 25 years ago. Here’s the list of additional voices that have been added.

About Digimon
Digimon, short for “Digital Monsters,” is a Japanese media franchise offering toy pets, manga, anime, games, films, and even a trading card game. The franchise was created back in 1997 as a series of virtual pets, influenced by Tamagotchi/nano Giga Pet toys.
The franchise gained momentum with its first anime, Digimon Adventure, and an early video game, Digimon World, both of which were released in 1999.
Digimon, the series focuses on monsters like creatures, who inhabit a “Digital World,” a parallel universe that originated from Earth’s various communication networks. Digimon hatch from eggs called Digi-Eggs, and they go through Digivolution, which changes their appearance and increases their powers over time.
The effect of Digivolution, however, is not permanent. Digimon who have digivolved will find most of the time revert back to their previous form after a battle or if they are too weak to continue. Most of them can even speak.
