Digimon Adventure Tri: The Movie Part 1 [DVD]

The movie itself is a huge nostalgia trip, yet you can clearly tell that the direction they wanted to take the characters in reflects the jump in age of the original audience. For example (to my dismay at first) the original "Digivolution Rap" is gone during Digivolution; however is replaced with a new, albeit slow and repetitive when back-to-back, enhanced transition. Also, the character's motivations and personality reflect more adult themes such as stress, romance and trying to find a place in the world. Although the pacing on the film in my opinion felt like going from 0-60mph in a few seconds occasionally, I really enjoyed it. There are some new characters that both are interesting new additions yet leave a lot of mystery around them. The original voice cast work brilliantly alongside some of the newer talent (the voice actors for Matt, Gatomon and Joe for example all have new actors and they work really well); however it is lovely to hear the old voices again! This film also acknowledges and leaves room to explore how the events so far effect the DigiDestined from Adventures 02 (specifically Davis, Yolei, Cody and Ken) in future instalments.The Blu Ray box is masterfully put together from first glance - artwork on the outer sleeve is beautiful; which is replicated in the case once removed. Inside is a single Blu Ray disc containing the feature length film, as well as two special features involving premiere footage and behind the scenes interviews with the English dub case. Inside the case is a poster featuring Tai and Matt (I only know the English character names!) on Omnimon battling Alphamon; as well as a wonderful plastic envelope containing four top-quality card prints of various Digimon Adventures Tri: Reunion characters and settings.This is a must have item for any fan of the original Digimon Adventures 01 and 02 series. I can't wait to see where it goes from here!*I would just like to point out that this Blu Ray edition has both the English dub with the majority of the original cast, as well as the original Japanese voicework on a separate audio stream; despite only listing in the description as Japanese on this page at the time of the review.

Digimon Adventure Tri - Reunion is a sequel to the original Digimon Adventure & Digimon Adventure 02 but focuses on the original 8 digidestined (Tai, Matt, Sora, Izzy, Mimi, Joe, TK & Kari) with the 02 cast only briefly mentioned.Reunion is aimed at all the Digimon fans who were kids when the orinal series aired and are now grown up.The plot reflects that with Tai having become a lot more cautious as he is now 17 and thinks of all the damage the Digimon could do by fighting in the real world.The Tri films mainly focus on one or two characters in a movie and Reunion's main focus is Tai and building his character. But don't worry if you are a fan of one of the other's as they all appear.The film is just under 90 minutes and has a good mix of Digimon fight's along with characters and nostalgia. To add to the nostalgia the original english voice actors for the following characters return: Tai, Izzy, Mimi, Sora, Agumon, Gabumon, Tentomon, Palmon, Gomamon & Patamon.I loved that so many of the old cast could come back the only couple that stood out for me were that Lara Jill Miller couldn't come back as Kari but having now watched the first 4 parts I have got used to it. Also Biyomon's new voice stood out but now Chermai has got into the role it is fine.So to sumarise if you enjoyed Digimon as a kid and are looking for more time with Adventure cast buy this dvd today. I would reccomend the blu-ray over the standard DVD as it comes with an A4 poster and 4 art cards along with the obvious improvement is visual quality.

I was so happy to finally get the DVD version of this great series!It was packaged well and having the whole thing as a movie sure beat the 4 episode format on crunchyroll.Having gotten used to the Japanese version it was a little while to get used to the english dub (good thing they offer the japanese version as well) and I'm really happy they have butterfly in the dubs opening.I can't wait to get my hands on determination!

A very nice collectors edition with posters and postcards, but the movie is what needs talking about. With the return of many of the original cast (and the replacements doing a bang up hob of the characters slightly older selves) and a return of the dub names and terms it feels like a real love letter to long time fans. The animation is gorgeous and the music is as cheesy awesome as ever (albeit lacking the classic theme but the Japanese tracks somehow wonderfully capture the original spirit). Overall a wonderful and fun experience you won't regret buying. Plus, it's just the first movie in an oncoming series!

the Whole adventure tri thing is a mixed bag for me in the end i really like it but i cant ignore the problems (for me)the story has progressed and the team is older and have diffrent lives from when they were kids obviously but since its set after adventure two ( i think) but they look younger somehow the previous team gets shown for Seconds but its not Clear what happened to them

MUCH!!! better than Pokemon.A MUST FOR FANS!!!For those new to Digimon I suggest watching the Original Digimon Adventures 1 and 2Digimon Tri brings back the original Formula but alters it by modernising and taking the plot in different directions.With Pokemon its the same stuff different region.Pokemon games may be better but with the release of Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth, Digimon may be making a true comeback.

Always been a huge fan of digimon from season 1 to 3 when I was a kid! The original season was always the best. After watching this it brought some great memories. It's funny it's still kinda the same but it's all grown up aswell which makes it even more awesome! If your a fan of the original digimon adventures you must get this! Everything about it is great the story, the characters just like old times! I'm looking forward to seeing the other parts can't wait!
