Talk:Digimon: The Movie

Code
Do you want to give this the code "ME" for Movie (English) and put it in the M-series? If we get any future English-only movies, we could go with ME1, ME2, etc. Lanate (talk) 21:15, November 2, 2012 (UTC)
 * I have no objections to this. G-SANtos? 07:26, November 3, 2012 (UTC)
 * All okay for me. But what are we going to do in the episode template? Do we put a separate column for this and any future English-only movies? And then, what do we with the articles on the original movies, do we go the Citramon route for them and cover the Japanese version? 14:03, November 3, 2012 (UTC)
 * We can just append it to the end of the S-series for simplicity's sake?


 * Also, I know I originally wrote the Citramon article, but I'm not sure I like the way it's handled, as it's almost an aberration compared to the rest of the wiki. Does anyone have any better suggestions or do others think it's fine as is? It's also a rather moot point if I ever do to Data Squad what I've done to Frontier, as it'd just get moved onto a character page and merged anyway.


 * I want to think that the Digimon: The Movie article should detail the English plot, all of the Willis connecting bits attached, but should the individual movie articles then detail the original plots? Lanate (talk) 15:57, November 3, 2012 (UTC)
 * Do you mean it should have its own article? Honestly, we're getting past the stub point where most subspecies could stand on their own anyway, so I'd be okay if we just have one species per page, like wikimon does.
 * The individual movies should cover the Japanese plots, I think, with the overall English plot for the Digimon The Movie article. I'm not sure what that means in terms of plot synopsis on character articles, but we can figure it out as we go along. 17:07, November 3, 2012 (UTC)
 * I meant the whole "using Japanese terms" part of the BomberNanimon article. We use dub terms for even Japanese-only releases, so part of me doesn't see anymore why that section should be special.


 * I thought we kept subspecies because, for some, like Fujitsumon or Amon and stuff, they are intrinsically tied to each other, and for others, it's because they're all "Agumon" in some way or have been given the name "Agumon" or is a Mode Change so they're still considered the base level. Lanate (talk) 17:20, November 3, 2012 (UTC)
 * Oh, yeah we can fix the names in that section. 15:15, November 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, that part has been erased from the English version so, while it doesn't exist in English, it's different from an undubbed material. I think that was the basis for us originally using Japanese names and terms there.
 * These three movies don't exist in English, what we have is a single movie that shows three different periods in the Adventure continuity. I think this may be somewhat similar to BomberNanimon/Citramon and Jim/Shin and Shuu Kido.
 * In my opinion we should use the terms of the version we are covering when it's not an undubbed material, just like we do in the voice actors articles, cast lists, and the use of "Zoe Ayamoto" here when we mention the Italian dub. 18:15, November 4, 2012 (UTC)—Last correction at 18:17, November 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * And we also use Japanese names and titles when covering the Japanese voice actors. If Savers' BomberNanimon can't be "special", then why should they be? What's our final decision in this plot issue? 22:34, November 15, 2012 (UTC)

Plot summary
Should we cover the English plot in this page and the Japanese plots in the three main pages? 21:02, February 5, 2015 (UTC)
 * Sure. 01:45, February 6, 2015 (UTC)
 * Given that the dubbing changes section of Digimon Adventure 02: Digimon Hurricane Landing!!/Transcendent Evolution!! The Golden Digimentals is pretty much an article in itself, yeah. Lanate (talk) 04:12, February 6, 2015 (UTC)

Cast
Are the movies being redubbed as a unified whole like the 2000s movie, or as separate films? If separate, I would say we should cover them on Digimon Adventure: Our War Game!, etc. If unified, I think the three parts should be in one table like the 2000s movie, presented on a tab. 18:24, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
 * By the way it sounds from the trailer they are the separate films. - Red Duel (talk) 03:00, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
 * kinda hard to say actually, or maybe not. theyre promoting it as a new version of digimon the movie but with nothing removed kinda like a director's cut saying how it has never before seen scenes, and they all come on one dvd. but then they also say its actually three separate movies, so theyre kinda promoting it both ways. i actually put them here because there were no voice actors listed on the individual movie pages and i figured itd be really confusing if we only list actors for the 2023 version i feel like itd lead to people thinking the replacement actors for those who died are also in the 1999 version or something. maybe we can list the 1999 and 2023 actors on all pages? the individual movie pages already include a lot of information from the 1999 dubs but dont list the actors. its a weird situation, since the pages for the original movies include dub stuff on them so i wasnt really sure on how to even deal with it. i think most would just go to the digimon the movie page, so at the least it makes sense to mention on this page about the fact new dubs are coming later this year. in addition, they actually are removing something. angela anaconda will not be part of this version, with discotek saying they hated her guts and got permission to remove her short. that to me feels like a statement its not even considered part of the movie in the first place. this becomes even more relevant, as the same dvd with the redubs comes with teh original digimon the movie as a bonus so it has- 1999 digimon the movie, 2023 re-dubs, no angela. gives me reason to think we can delete angela stuff on here. the fact the original movie pages has dub info, for me, means there's no reason we cant mention stuff on both pages for the re-dub. also they refer to the last part as only "Digimon Adventure 02: Digimon Hurricane Touchdown!!". this wiki already treats the original movie pages as being dubbed in 1999, which is why i was so confused on what to do and why i just shoved it onto this page because this is the only one that was listing actors.Marcusbwfc (talk) 19:47, 24 August 2023 (UTC)
 * I think the 1999 dub movie should be treated as a separate entity from the original Japanese movies, with an explanation in the lede on the connection, so all the existing info should be reorganized into four pages -- this one, for the dub movie only, and the other three movies, for the japanese versions and (if these are re-approaches to dubbing them) the new dubs. The reorganization and changes are significant enough that trying to cover all the info on one page would be messy and hard for readers to understand. 17:31, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
 * tbf, as i said, the pages are already set up as they are without me having anything to do with it which is why i was so confused on what to do. if we need to turn the og versions into exclusively for 2023 dubs then thats quite the work to do. all four pages should prob still mention both dubs, since thatd avoid confusion. like, in 1999 a shortened version of this movie formed part of digimon the movie. in 2023, the entire thing was dubbed etc.Marcusbwfc (talk) 19:34, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
