The castlist and trailer use dub names so it's pretty safe to say the dub will use it's usual terminology while the sub will be using the original terms. |

My theory is they're going to do all the Disney-era dubs together. Yeah, the remaining movies that were dubbed were pretty much uncut from what I remember (as in "no footage was outright removed", not no editing), so there wouldn't be a need to redub any of those & they could instead just do a straightforward dual-audio boxset for those. |

Yes, I've watched it. It's horribly dull, there's no reason to watch it today. It's like asking for a faithful dub of Golion, a show that nobody would care about had it not aired as Voltron. Thankfully people like you and the two others who think there's any value to it are not in charge of these business decisions, because you'd be the only ones buying it. |

I hope Studiopolis is behind the redub of these Digimon movies.

But some of the scenes from those movies were cut like the few beach scenes with the song from Battle of Adventurers. |

i mean the standards for tv ratings were higher in the 2000s. You know how some shows would get canceled back in the day despite 2 million viewers? Yup. I think i saw in newstype magazine issues that sonic x and di gi charat nyo (and also firestorm and the show that followed it in the timeslot after it ended) had decent ratings but tv tokyo still cancelled them because they were up against astro boy 2003 which blew both their ratings out of the water (with nyo having to directly compete in the ratings which is why we had the princess school arc in the first place; they tried to steal some viewers and sadly failed thus that series was cancelled) Sonic X ended up getting its last batch of episodes (and therefore cosmo) because of the series success internationally, especially in the US and France with 4kids and the series' french distributor becoming part of the production committee, and nyo got faithful subs and a faithful (aside from lack of nyos) dub from bandai entertainment/blue water (which sadly got dropped itself on episode 72, maybe due to low dvd sales? still sad we only have bootleg subs for that last batch of episodes). Ghost Stories probably would've gotten a more faithful dub as well (outside of animax asia's) if it weren't for the fact that it still failed to get distributed in the states until they eventually decided to loosen their guidelines up to the point where ADV picked it up to make a gag dub and used the ratings as a scapegoat. |

Actually it's Sound Cadence Studios that are doing the Uncut redubs of the Digimon Movies. |

Happy to have more of Mamoru Hosoda's works (in particular the inspiration for Summer Wars) available uncut on US home video.
Still waiting for One Piece movie 6. I think it got a DVD release as part of movie compilation in the UK, but nothing in the US still... |

Was there any talking during those scenes, or was it just part of a montage? I haven't seen the movies is a looooooong time, so I don't recall anymore, but if those scenes were just part of a montage then I imagine the Discotek crew could likely just add back it into the dubbed version just fine. If not, then maybe they'll just redub the later movies, too, but only wanted to focus on the first three right now, hence why it's the "Digimon Movie Collection 1".[/u] |

In regards to the future of Digimon releases, The "pattern," if you can call it that, has so far gone like this:
Initial announcement of Adventure - End of Q1 2022 Digimon Dub Season 1 release - End of Q4 2022 Digimon Adventure subtitled release - Middle of Q3 2023 (July, last week) Announcement of Movie Collection 1/Adventure Zero Two - Middle of Q3 2023 (now) If things are to move smoothly and swimmingly, it'll probably look like this: Movie Collection 1/Digimon Dub Season 2 release - Q2 2024 Adventure Zero Two subtitled release - End of Q4 2024 (Christmas, which was when Dub Season 1 dropped) Movie Collection 2(films 4-6?)/Tamers announcement - Q1 2025 Movie Collection 2/Dub Season 3 release - Q4 2025 Tamers subtitled release - Q3 2026 I don't want to estimate beyond this, because a potential "Movie Collection 3" would be films 7 and 8(Frontier and Savers), but then, are they going to announce the respective TV series jointly? It would be odd to announce the Savers movie and not the TV series with it. As for the possibility of redubbing films 4-7, I think movie 4, Diablomon Strikes Back, is a foregone conclusion because Joshua Seth wasn't available when it was originally recorded. I think they'll want him back. The films for Tamers and Frontier are iffier. They're not uncut but also not butchered like the TV series/Digimon the Movie, so they may just subtitle them and call it a day. However, I was not expecting the first three films to get redubbed, so at this point anything is possible. If they don't redub/reconstruct films 5-7 though, that would mean you can't watch a dub with the original music score for them. The Tamers movies will be stuck with the replacement score that was made for Frontier. Oh, and uh, the TV special, Digital Monster X-Evolution. Fans confuse this for a film and it gets labeled "movie 8" a lot, but that's not what it is and who knows if the materials for it are even available. Discotek loves hunting stuff down though, so we'll see. EDIT: Of course, thinking about this after I write the long post, they could forego the "movie collections" after 2, and then release the films for Frontier and Savers jointly with their TV series... |

Discotek is a small company. They've never dubbed an anime longer than a cour, so four cour series like Digimon are sadly out of the question. But they're usually able to dub movies, so I do think redubs of all the Digimon movies are possible so long as the sets sell well. |

Yeah, I have no real interest in Digimon but there's a small part of me that almost wants to get these just to see Hosoda's early work. And yes, the UK got sub-only DVD sets with the first 9 One Piece movies. The first few "movies" (hour-long specials really) look pretty crappy, but they're about the best we have. |

Koromon is being played by his original VA, Brianne Siddall. |

. It had a dub like the other 3 and wraps everything up from movie 2.
