The Golden Digimentals (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.[3] Owing to the number of changes made, it is considered an original work by the press.[4] Upon release, the film received generally negative reviews from critics.
