Digimon Adventure 02 The Beginning Lands a US Theatrical Release
The highly anticipated film, Digimon Adventure 02 The Beginning is getting a theatrical release in the US this November.
If you grew up with Digimon in the late '90s and early '00s, you already know that Digimon fans stay winning. Because after kickstarting the franchise with some prime anime content, we eventually received the rare opportunity to revisit the first generation of DigiDestined through Digimon Adventure Tri – where these characters were actually maturing. Shortly after that, the film Digimon Adventure: Last Evolution Kizuna followed the fan-favorite characters with the intention of concluding their story (until the more optimistic epilogue we witnessed in the anime series), but with Digimon, there are always opportunities for expansion.
Now, the next big cinematic Digimon event is allowing fans to witness the equally popular second generation in their first quest as adult DigiDestined – and fortunately, U.S. audiences will be given the chance to see the upcoming film in theaters this November. Here's what we know so far!

Then, one day, a giant Digitama suddenly appears in the sky over Tokyo Tower.
