New Dub of Digimon Movies Gets December Release Date

The first three Digimon movies are being re-released with a new dub from the original cast. The Blu-Ray release is set for December 17, 2024.

The announcement of the release date was made by current Western distributor Discotek Media, who confirmed the original Digimon movies would be released as one set with a new dub. The Blu-Ray will contain the shorts Digimon Adventure, Our War Game and Hurricane Touchdown. These were all edited together to create The Digimon Movie that released in theaters in the West.

Actor Joshua Seth also confirmed his involvement with the new dub. He’ll be returning to voice Tai along with the rest of the original cast. He also confirmed that the new dub was based more faithfully on the original Japanese script, as the three shorts will remain uncut. In addition to the new dub, all three Digimon movies will have Japanese audio as an option. The original dub of The Digimon Movie will also be included, remastered in HD for the first time.

This release of the Digimon movies coincides with the 25th anniversary of the anime series. As well as the new dub for the West, other celebrations are occurring. A Digimon Adventure exhibition took place in Ikebukuro Sunshine City in Tokyo in August 2024, featuring concept art and storyboards from the original show. The exhibition will be running again in Osaka’s Shinsaibashi Opa from October 5-20, 2024.

The new dub of the Digimon movies will be released on Blu-Ray on December 17, 2024.
