Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Digimon: The Movie (2000)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Because the three source shorts had drastically different plots and budget restraints, more than 40 minutes of scenes were cut, introducing several changes in tone, dialogue and plot. Owing to the number of changes made, it is considered an original work by the press.
- Nimoy proposed to Haim Saban that only two of the source films be used and the third released separately as a direct-to-video film or DVD extra. All suggestions were overruled out of contractual obligations with Toei Animation, and his disappointment was one factor that led him and Buchholz to leave the writing team.
- The Screen Actors Guild negotiated for actors contracted under them to be paid residuals over home video and subsequent television broadcasts, as they felt Digimon: The Movie counted as an original work because its dialogue deviated from the original script.
- The international success of Digimon: The Movie led Toshio Suzuki to contact Mamoru Hosoda to direct Howl's Moving Castle, though he later left that production due to creative differences.
- At the 2000 Stinkers Bad Movie Awards the film won the award for "Worst Achievement in Animation". Months later, in January 2001, the magazine Animage placed Digimon: The Movie 88th on its list of the "Top 100" anime productions.
- The film score for this animated feature was composed by Udi Harpaz and Amotz Plessner, and the music was performed by the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra.
