Digimon will always be a great anime production, full of great moments and unforgettable characters. This short film takes you on a journey of nostalgia and very positive emotions. It maintains the characteristic essence of the story.
A short film that premiered a day before the animated series to give it another narrative plot, the events are even mentioned in some episodes.
Mamoru Hosoda was making his directorial debut. It only took 20 minutes to have more love for the franchise. In the animation section it does have some quite noticeable details, but it improves by the second. It can be added that there is a lack of consistency between the size of our Digimon protagonist here in the short film with the animated series.
The music is quite decent and memorable. The ending song is one of those epic anime themes.
The message of reflection that this short provides is phenomenal. The protection of our younger brothers will always be vital, the care of animals and that bond of friendship. Koromon in a few seconds and with a single phrase steals the screen. The lack of attention from parents is a critical point in the growth of young people, many of them do not generate resentment, Tai and Hiraki are an example of this.
The chosen children will always have a great place in the world of anime.
