FILM NOTES

Digimon: The Movie arrived in October 2000, distributed by 20th Century Fox, as Saban Entertainment's theatrical compilation of three Japanese Digimon animated shorts edited into a single feature. Released during the peak of the early-2000s digital monster craze, the film competed directly with the Pokémon theatrical releases and became a touchstone for an entire generation of young audiences drawn to the franchise's themes of friendship and digital adventure. It remains a notable artifact of the era's anime-to-American-market pipeline.

This cell preserves the Digimon: The Movie title card, presenting the film's logo set against a binary code digital background. The frame repeats across three exposures, offering multiple looks at the same iconic title treatment that greeted audiences upon the film's opening.
