Digimon: The Movie (2000) **
Directed by Mamoru Hosoda. Way better than that Pukémon movie! Instead of a cutesy animé bore, we’ve got here a clever and exciting Japanese animated film that actually has a semblence of a plot and many interesting characters. It also has a great soundtrack, featuring music by Smash Mouth, Barenaked Ladies and The Mighty Mighty Bosstones. The only complaint: a lousy Angela Anaconda short which opens the program.
