Following the immense success of the Digimon: The Movies 1-3 Collection, Discotek Media is set to release a Blu-ray collection of the next three classic films from the beloved Digimon franchise. The Digimon: The Movies 4-6 Collection is slated to arrive in stores on December 30th. Preorders are currently available for approximately $30, with a special price of $24 at some retailers. When preordering through certain major online retailers, you benefit from a price guarantee, ensuring you receive any applicable discounts before launch and are only charged when your order ships.
The Digimon: The Movies 4-6 Collection features three films, presented with both English dubs and the original Japanese audio along with subtitles:
- Revenge of the Diaboromon (2001)
- Battle of Adventurers (2001)
- Runaway Locomon (2002)
It’s worth noting that these are not traditional feature-length movies. “Revenge of the Diaboromon,” running at 29 minutes, is set within the Digimon Adventure 02 timeline. “Battle of Adventurers,” released in the same year with a 50-minute runtime, marks the first film in the Digimon Tamers timeline, the third Digimon series. This particular film centers on a virus that causes Digimon to materialize in the Real World. Finally, “Runaway Locomon,” a 30-minute short film from 2002, picks up after the Digimon Tamers season finale.
This new collection boasts a total runtime of 2 hours and 9 minutes. This extended duration is due to Discotek’s restoration of uncut versions, now featuring new English dubs. The individual runtimes mentioned above refer to their original releases.
For those who missed out, the Digimon: The Movies 1-3 Collection, released on Blu-ray last December, is currently available for around $24 (originally $30). This set includes:
- Digimon Adventure (1999)
- Our War Game (2000)
- Hurricane Touchdown (2000)
It’s interesting to note that portions of these three films were combined to create “Digimon: The Movie” (2000), which was the franchise’s first theatrical release. Discotek meticulously restored the uncut versions of these three short films, complete with a brand-new English dub. This collection offers a runtime of 2 hours and 9 minutes, exceeding the 88-minute feature film by over 40 minutes. As an added bonus for nostalgic fans, this Blu-ray collection also features the original dubbed version of “Digimon: The Movie,” allowing viewers to relive their childhood cinematic experience.
