From the Press Release
Produced by Toei Animation, Digimon Adventure 02 The Beginning delighted movie audiences and loyal fans across Japan and around the world in 2023. Based on the TV sequel series Digimon Adventure 02 that aired in 2000, this brand-new movie adventure is a contemporary continuation of the series but with the DigiDestined children now 20-year-old young adults. Director Tomohisa Taguchi and scriptwriter Akatsuki Yamatoya with production by Toei Animation – the same team behind the most recent film Digimon Adventure: Last Evolution Kizuna – reunite to weave this new story. Just as the last scene of the Digimon Adventure 02 depicted a future where all people and Digimon live together, the movie is for all the children and adults who have walked with Digimon.
The home entertainment release of this highly sought-after anime movie features an English dub produced by Toei Animation specifically for the U.S. theatrical run. Soon, North American fans can once again, or for the very first time, enjoy the film’s stellar English voice cast. Brian Donovan, who voiced the character Daisuke Motomiya in the TV series, returns to the role for this new feature film, along with an exciting team of voice talent and Digimon luminaries, including Jeannie Tirado (My Hero Academia), Bryce Papenbrook (Attack of Titan), Tara Sands (Yu-Gi-Oh!: Duel Monsters), Johnny Yong Bosch (Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero), Derek Stephen Prince (Digimon Adventure 02), among others.
