Digimon: The Movie is a 2000 American-Japanese film adaptation produced by Toei Animation and distributed by 20th Century Fox as part of the Digimon franchise. The film is an amalgamation of the two short films Digimon Adventure: Our War Game!, Digimon Adventure, and the 60-minute film Digimon Adventure 02: Digimon Hurricane Landing!! / Transcendent Evolution!! The Golden Digimentals from 1999-2000.
Digimon: The Movie had cut more than 40 minutes of scenes from the individual Japanese films to save time and introduced several changes in tone, dialogue, and plot. Owing to the number of changes made, it is considered an original work by the press. Upon release, the film received generally negative reviews from critics. Nevertheless, the film was a box office success, grossing over $16 million worldwide against a production budget of $5 million.

Notes[]
- All three of the movies received separate English dubs that aired on Disney XD in Southeast Asia in the early 2010s.
- In July 2023, it was announced all three of the movies will be released on a Blu-ray set with new English dubs from Discotek Media. The English dubs will feature the surviving dub cast from the Saban Entertainment dubs. Digimon: The Movie will also be included.
- In the original theatrical and 20th Century Fox home video releases, the film was preceded by an Angela Anaconda short. The short was remade and expanded as the episode "Good Seats" with most of the Digimon references removed. The short will not be included in the Discotek Media Blu-ray release due to legal issues and the short's poor reception.
