All the movies of Digimon: The Catastrophe were treated horribly, but this one was, for sure, the worst of all. The movie was severely hacked, in both footage and script, and what left was...not a lot really. This is what happens when you think you can do anything you want with the anime you have in your hands. So Saban: screw you. Just for you guys to know, I'll just take screenshots of what I see as really relevant. Or else I'll be here forever @_@ |
|
|
| (5 minutes, 30 seconds) Ok, since in the dub movie they had to
make the movie 1/2 smaller, some scenes were erased due to time. I call
them the ''unneeded footage''. They are scenes that could be skipped
without loss of details, such as a long shot of someone's face or
scenes that are repetitive. I'm sure I didn't catch ALL of them (that
is nearly impossible), but, from what I caught, approximately 5 minutes and 30
seconds of unneede footage were lost. I'm just mentioning in the actual comparison those scenes which I believe to be more important. |
|
|
| The scenes showing Tai and the older Chosen Children was
taken from a little further to the ''beggining'' of the movie, so then
Kari could make her stupid narration properly. Also, most of the scenes
were shortned. NOTE - By the whole movie, lots and lots of scenes were shortned in the dub due to time lenght. |
|
|
| I don't have to say that Kari's narration is completely stupid. Every single phoneme. Kari: "And Sora is still waiting for (Tai) to call!" And why is she making flower arrangements so happily? Kari: "(Matt's) stage name is 'The DigiDestined formely known as Matt'"... Why to choose a stage name which is 10 times bigger than your actual name!? |
|
|
| The order of the New Chosen Children cameos is changed. In the original is Daisuke - Miyako - Iori, but in the dub is Cody - Yolei - Davis. |
|
|
| (5 seconds) A shot of Jou drinking... something. (30 seconds) Ok, now the destruction really starts. First, we see various pictures Mimi took (one of the pictures, with Takeru and Hikari, remained in the dub to use it in its fake story). Then, Takeru says that Daisuke will get jealous when he sees the pictures. Hikari suddenly says that she's hearing a digimon crying, and that he's looking for something. All of a sudden, Mimi's digivice starts shining and she suddenly disappears, leaving her laptop behind. The important plot moment is gone. (54 seconds) Simply: every scene showing the Older Chosen Children disappearing. The important plot related scenes are gone so now the dub will make its own story. Nothing! |
|
|
| By the way, originally, Wallace calls Terriermon "Gumimon", which is
actually his Baby Form name. In the dub Willis calls him Terriermon. As always, Terriermon attack name changed from Blazing Fire to Bunny Blast. |
|
|
| While in the original Takeru and Hikari wonder what
happened to Mimi, in the dub they are saying that the pictures they
took couldn't be sent to their friends because the lines are busy (?).
This smells like Izzy's lies... In the original Hikari and Takeru were after the digimon that Hikari heard crying, but in the dub they are just after the noise to save the day and stuff. |
|
|
| In case you don't know, Wallace's name was changed to
Willis. In the original he speaks in English with some characters
(Kokomon, his mother). And...his voice sucks. Oh, and Chocomon's name is changed to Kokomon (even though Chocomon is actually the Child form's name). |
|
|
| (8 seconds) Hikari says that she heard his brother's voice, and Takeru
thinks that maybe ''those people'' (Wallace and his digimon) have
something to do with it. I heard his voice inside my head...I'm an ESPer! |
|
|
| Kokomon: "Go back". Yeah, Saban. Go back. Willis: "Don't follow me! You're in danger!" They are in danger from the moment this movie BEGAN! |
|
|
| (48 seconds) The Older Chosen Children land in a completely
empty place, claiming they can't see anything, think about anything,
and wondering why are they there. Then, Yamato and Taichi
wish Takeru and Hikari to be careful. You are in...Myotismon's Dungeon!!! You were CONDEMNED!! |
|
|
| Willis talks a lot lot more than Wallace probably have done in his whole life. Patamon: "Colorado? Why there?" One question: how the hell do you know that? Even the blah blah blah of the dub doesn't mention that. |
|
|
| The scene with Hikari and Takeru on the train was originally AFTER Daisuke and the others in the beach. ACTUALLY, a bunch of scenes are mixed >_< I don't have patience to point all of them. I'm following the japanese order of the movie, so, some of what I point may be far before/later in the dub. |
|
|
| Originally,
Hikari's message was talking about the disappearing of the Older Chosen,
but in the dub she asks the New Chosen people to go to Colorado. Yolei: "We're using my uncle's Frequent Flyer Miles (?)..." Lie Number 1. Yolei: (something about an uncle that have a taxi company or something). Lie Number 2. |
|
|
| (10 seconds) The gang trying to get a ride. Using a "With Monster" sign. |
|
|
| In the original, they got their ride with a driver who just speaks in English. In the dub they got one of Yolei's imaginary uncle's imaginary cab, and the driver puts some stupid music. |
|
|
| (1 minute, 43 seconds) Wallace and Terriermon in the freight car
of a train, talking. Wallace wonders if Chocomon was really serious about attacking him.
Terriermon says that he was, and Wallace orders Terriermon to stop
talking. Terriermon does so, and sits next to Wallace. Ok, it wasn't that much useful. (7 seconds) A dialogue between Wallace and Terriermon while they're walking. Terriermon says that they're going through all of that trouble, and just so Wallace could call his mom. Wallace says that he thinks Chocomon will definetly be in the flower field (in the dub, Terriermon is just being annoying complaining about walking). |
|
|
| Everything Kari says about how much of a bitch she is (mentioning that Davis must reallly miss her and stuff like that). |
|
|
| Kokomon: "DON'T INTERFERE!" Stop talking when you're not supposed to. Actually, stop talking at all because you're not supposed to. |
|
|
| (13 seconds) Takeru and Hikari notices that everybody in the train vanished. OMG! They're all in Myotismon's Dungeon NOOOOOO ;_; |
|
|
| Yolei: "Bye uncle Fred!" Why are you talking to someone who doesn't exist?! Yolei: "I have an uncle who own some horses around here..." Lie Number 3. Davis: "No more uncles!" I'm with you. Cody: "Wow, then americans have digimon by the truckloads!" REALLY?! OMG, I'll start looking inside every truckload I see from now on! |
|
|
| (8 seconds) Miyako asks how does Wallace knows how to talk in japanese, and he says a japanese girlfriend taught him. |
|
|
| In the original Miyako wonders if Wallace has something
to do with the disappearing of Taichi and the others, but in the dub
she just wonders why would a (oh God, here we go again) DigiDestined
travel alone. Then, Miyako asks how did Wallace find Terriermon (a.k.a.
Gumimon) and he answers that his mother found it on the internet.
Miyako asks if Wallace have been in the Digital World, but he knows
nothing about it. In the dub, however, Willis just says that his
vacation home is nearby (?) and also mentions that he actually knows
who Kari is. ...make as much sense as nothing, doesn't it? |
|
|
| (5 seconds) Iori asks if Wallace knows anything about another
digimon. That's why Terriermon fell right after he said that, but in
the dub Terriermon is just stupid. |
|
|
| Now the weird stuff. I'll try to explain but it'll be hard: In the original, Iori gets another ride for them and everybody enters the car, except Daisuke and Wallace who are stupid enough to be left behind. Wallace then call his mother by the phone, tellling her he'll be late (and Daisuke mocks him for being such a baby). Then Chocomon attacks. In the dub, they took the scene of Wallace talking to his mother before anything, but insted of talking to his mother, Willis is ASKING FOR PIZZA! His plan was to get the pizza deliver to get them home (wow, that was an amazing plan. The only thing wrong is: it's impossible). Then the ride comes, but now is the pizza deliver. Davis and Willis are left behind and then Kokomon attacks. You can pretty much imagine that a bunch of stupid dialogue and cuts were made in this mess. I'll mention some: Davis: "Tell him to forget the whole thing, I'm gonna move for chinese!" I don't know any place who sells both pizza AND chinese. Willis: "Shut up! [take the phone] Oh, no, I said 'line up'". Davis: (Everything. Simply everything) Willis: "It'll be here in two minutes or it's free." They must be pretty desperate for customers. |
|
|
| (19 seconds) In that empty space, Taichi and the others notice they suddenly got younger. I'm a kid again! That's so...good! |
|
|
| WTH? Ok, I'll try to explain this. In the original, V-Mon hits Chocomon with his headbutt, okay. Than, he evolves, okay. In the dub, Veemon hits Kokomon with his headbutt, than flies with Terriermon and Davis follows them, and they run into a...sign...what the hell just happened here?! This scene of Terriermon and V-Mon flying are from AFTER this battle! |
|
|
| (5 seconds) ...Chocomon in the middle of an...explosion? Ka Boom...? (17 seconds) The space where the Older (or Younger) Chosen Children are suddenly gets fire-colored, and they wonder what's happening. OMG! Are we inside Chocomon!? (10 seconds or so) Wallace asks Chocomon where are the older Chosen Children, while Terriermon asks him to stop trying to talk to Chocomon because he's not the same he was before. |
|
|
| Wallace: "I'm doing what you want, I'm going back!" He doesn't want that. He doesn't want anything. Chocomon: "You are not Wallace. Where is WALLACE?!" Kokomon: "GO... BACK... TO THE... BEGGINING!!" Stop telling lies! That is what the "virus infectioning" of 'Our War Game' meant. Chocomon was infected by the virus of Izzy's lies! Willis: "He's got pants now!" And you pay attention to such details?! Hmmmmmm..... While Chocomon is vanishing, Wallace tells him he would be waiting at the flower field, but in the dub Kokomon come again with his "GO BACK" crap. |
|
|
| (15 seconds) The older (or younger) Chosen Children notice that
the fire-themed world suddenly turned into a flower-field-themed world.
Koushiro realizes that that place is probably someone else's world. He's not a LIAR as Izzy. (13 seconds) Since the Terriermon-and-V-Mon's-happy-flight-scene was somehow added into that battle, the 13 seconds before it were removed. Daisuke making questions about Chocomon, and Wallace...refusing to answer. (20 seconds or so) Just a few seconds of the happy flight scene were added back there...most of the scene was actually lost (this is becoming more and more confusing). I don't know why, but I would love to see dub Davis in this condition... (9 seconds) In the original, Wallace says they should try to catch another truck, but Terriermon says it would be hard since the road is all screwed up (in the dub, Davis asks some questions about Kokomon, and Willis says that Kokomon wants him to come back [Lie] and stuff, then Willis says he doesn't want Davis to get involved etc). Poor road... (56 seconds) A conversation between the little gang. Daisuke tries (but fails) to get information from Wallace, but when V-Mon asks about Chocomon, Terriermon says that they (Daisuke and V-Mon) should know the truth so 'those children' could be helped. Terriermon told that the reason why Chocomon took the children away is because he wants something from them. Plot details... |
|
|
| Oh crap, "Hey Digimon!" is back... While on Lighdramon, Daisuke and Wallace had a small conversation about the evolution of the digimon, but in the dub there's no conversation. So ''Hey Digimon!" could torture us more. By the way...the place where Wallace was heading to is called Summer Memory in the original, but in the dub it has no name. It's apparently his summer house or something. |
|
|
| (Original
conversation: The children wants to know who Chocomon is and where are
Taichi and the other; Dub conversation: The children wants to know who Kokomon is and why does he only attack Willis). Willis: "Because...I created him." Lie Number 4. |
|
|
| (22 seconds) More of the real plot being destroyed. Terriermon
says that Chocomon is looking for people with the digivice, because
he's looking for Wallace - but the younger Wallace, the Wallace he once
met. Then Daisuke says that they still gotta find Taichi and the others
(in the dub, Willis doesn't reveal anything except the lie that he
created Kokomon, than he walks away.) [Okay, flashbacks moved for later in the dub...] (14 seconds) Everybody is on the car, talking about random stuff. Daisuke asks if Wallace called his mom, and he answers that he didn't find a phone. Yeah... (31 seconds) Wallace puts Terriermon to sleep, than goes for a walk, where Daisuke spots him. In the dub, we can understand that Willis and Davis headed there together. By foot. Good dreams. Or not. |
|
|
| Willis: "I
thought it would be cool to have more of them (digimon), so I got the
stupid idea of creating a digiegg on the computer." Lie Number 5. Willis: "Before my digiegg could hatch, it was attacked by a virus and mutated into Diaboromon." Lies Number 6 to 7 (because it was so stupid that it counted for two lies). |
|
|
| A Diaboromon small flashback was added after the previously mentioned stupidity. In the original, Wallace's story was completely different. He said that three years ago, he was playing with Gumimon and Chocomon in the flower field when Chocomon suddenly disappeared. Daisuke points that three years ago was when Taichi and the other met their digimon for the first time. Then Wallace says that now Chocomon is after him. Daisuke then realizes that that meant they had to fight with Wallace's partner, his best friend. |
|
|
| Willis: "The virus somehow tracked us down and dragged Kokomon away from me." WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!? Willis: "I think he wanted me to come back here where all started, but every time he tries to tell me why the virus stops him! He just can't fight it!" Lies Number 8 to 100! |
|
|
| Daisuke says that if V-Mon got evil he wouldn't be able
to destroy him. That's when he cries. And the original scene is sad
because the story is real and not the virus-fake-crap. Wallace tells Daisuke that he wishes Chocomon to remember who he is if he goes back to the flower field. |
|
|
| Davis: (crying) "That...is...the saddest story...I've ever heard..." For crying over that fake story you're proving to be the biggest moron of the universe. Willis: "Get over it!" Davis: (suddenly stops crying) "Okay!" Willis: "That was fast." Well, if he cried longer for that crap story, I would definetly kill him. |
|
|
| More seconds of the dub cutted, as always, but the best part is that, when Terriermon says that he'll fight against Chocomon, Wallace says that he wants to go back and see Miyako's face. Then Daisuke's goggles suddenly break due to his rage. I liked that part. |
|
|
| Okay, now that the plot details were revealed I can already tell the differences between the japanese and the dub stories: Original Story: The older Chosen Children are suddenly disappearing. While in New York, Takeru and Hikari find Wallace fighting Chocomon, and believe that they may have something to do about Mimi's sudden disappearing. They ask the new Chosen Children to find Wallace and to save the older Chosen Children. They finally met with Wallace, who was heading for a place called Summer Memory to meet Chocomon in a flower field. That's because, when Wallace was little, Chocomon suddenly disappeared on that flower field, and now is evil: so, Wallace thinks that if they meet each other on that flower field, Chocomon may recognize him. And maybe, if Chocomon is defeated, the other children will be saved. Dub Story: T.K. and Kari, while in New York, spot a battle between Willis and a digimon named Kokomon. After mysteriously discovering that he was heading to Colorado, they ask the new Chosen Children to go there and find out who was that digimon and stuff. They meet Willis, who tells them the uncomprehensible story about a virus attacking his digimon Kokomon. Now they have to try to free Kokomon from the virus, so then...they'll...save...the world? Anyway, the older Chosen Children are doing great, thanks. |
|
|
| (1 minute) First, we see Wallace and the others in the flower
field. Then we see that empty space with the older Chosen, who are now
even younger than before. Chocomon (Child form) appears, looking for
Wallace. The Children can hear him, but cannot see him. Chocomon then
notices that even now they are smaller, they are not Wallace. That's
when he attacks Wallace and the others. Oh... (In the dub, after the hacked conversation between Willis and Davis, they ''go after Kokomon'' and he suddenly appears). (30 ~ 40 seconds) Most of the scenes of the ''conversation'' between Wallace and Chocomon were cutted. In the original Wallace tries harder to make Chocomon remember who he is. He even tries to catch Wallace, then Terriermon stops him and tries to talk to Chocomon too. Then, Chocomon hits him. That was...close. |
|
|
| Kokomon: "GO BACK....TO....DESTROOOOOOOOYYYYY!!!" You're making as much sense as this movie (dub movie, of course). Digmon: "I'll trip him up-Whoa, I almost trip myself!" Shut up! |
|
|
| In the original, there is still the "do I really have to destroy Chocomon?" dilenma, but in the dub they couldn't care less. |
|
|
| (1
minute) Daisuke says that now they have no choice but to destroy
Chocomon; The children wonder what those black balls are, and Miyako
says that Chocomon seems to be giving them off from his dark hearts;
Terriermon (Gargomon) asks who IS Chocomon now. Oh god, when will this ever end... |
|
|
| Willis: "This is all my fault...!" Davis: "Why? Did you teach him how to juggle?!" |
|
|
| (24 seconds) Chocomon disappears in the water then reapperas
behind Wallace, and they stare each other for some time. Gone in the
dub, gone in the dub. (7 seconds) After being hit by Chocomon, Wallace tries to catch Terriermon but he suddenly de-evolve to Gumimon, and then, back to Terriermon. (1 minute, 10 seconds) Wallace says that the Chocomon in front of him isn't the Chocomon he once met, and says that he has to destroy him for the old Chocomon to return. Then Daisuke appears saying that it isn't Wallace's fault, because everybody have something they want to protect, and while trying to protect this 'something', they never give up. That's why they won't give up now (and etc). Shonen speeches! |
|
|
| Kari talking about why are Angemon and Angewomon there
with Kari's inaproppriate face is stupid. In the original Hikari is
wondering about Chocomon. Cody: "I'm not supposed to be out after dark!" And you're probably not supposed to be out of your country, but who cares for logic in such a moment? |
|
|
| (31 seconds) Hikari realizes that they are still in the real
world, but the world where Chocomon wants it. Then Hikari suddenly says
that Chocomon has no feelings. Plot details...! |
|
|
| Willis and others: "When he said 'go back' he wanted to back in time, before he was attacked by the virus!" Lies. Veemon: "It's gotta be that virus inside of him!" There is no virus. There is no virus. There is no virus. There is no virus. There is no virus. There is no virus. There is no virus. There is no damn virus. |
|
|
| The scenes here all all mixed, but nothing was lost. What was really bad is that in the dub the characters just didn't stop talking, what was freaking annoying. |
|
|
| It's kinda obvious, but being swallowed by Chocomon WASN'T SUPPOSED TO BE a plan, it just happened. |
|
|
| (18 seconds) Magnamon and Rabidmon inside the nothingness
space of Chocomon. They wonder where they are, and start forgetting
things. (28 seconds) The children (except for Miyako) walk in the direction of Chocomon, trying to encourage Magnamon and Rabidmon. (30 seconds) After Tailmon says why she never gave up, all the digimon starts trying to fight against Chocomon (some footage is loosely used in the dub, but in the dub the other digimon DON'T fight against Chocomon). Then, inside Chocomon, Magnamon and Rabidmon listen to Wallace and Daisuke's voices, what makes them recover their strenght. In the dub, since being swallowed by Kokomon was Magnamon's plan, Magnamon and Rabidmon never had any hard time inside Kokomon. Basically, you lost some ass-kicking. |
|
|
| Magnamon: "There must be something inside of him....the virus!" Do I still have to comment? When everything is over and fine, Daisuke says that Taichi and the others are back to normal, but in the dub of course this is not mentioned. |
|
|
| The final scene of the dub movie is uncomprehensible, nonsense and, above alll, RETARDED! |
