Following the immense success of Digimon: The Movies 1-3 Collection, Discotek Media is releasing a Blu-ray set of the next three classic movies from the Digimon franchise. Digimon: The Movies 4-6 Collection hits stores December 30, and preorders are available now for $30 at Amazon and $24 on the Crunchyroll Store.

$30 | Releases December 30
Digimon: The Movies 4-6 Collection includes the following movies with both English dubs and the original Japanese audio with subtitles:
- Revenge of the Diaboromon (2001)
- Battle of Adventurers (2001)
- Runaway Locomon (2002)
Though referred to as “movies,” these aren’t feature-length films. Revenge of the Diaboromon is 29 minutes and is set during the Digimon Adventure 02 timeline. Battle of Adventurers released the same year and has a 50-minute runtime. It was the first movie in the Digimon Tamers timeline, the third Digimon series, and revolves around a virus that causes Digimon to enter the Real World. Runaway Locomon, a 30-minute short film, released in 2002 and takes place after the Digimon Tamers season finale.
The collection has a total runtime of 2 hours and 9 minutes. The runtime is 10 minutes longer than the originals because these are uncut versions that were restored with English dubs by Discotek. The runtimes listed above correspond with the original releases, not the uncut versions.
$24 (was $30)
Digimon: The Movies 1-3 Collection released on Blu-ray last December and is on sale for $24 (was $30). This collection includes the following short films:
- Digimon Adventure (1999)
- Our War Game (2000)
- Hurricane Touchdown (2000)
Parts of these three movies were spliced together to create Digimon: The Movie (2000), the first feature-length theatrical release for the franchise.
Discotek restored the uncut versions of all three short films with a new English dub. The runtime for the collection is 2 hours and 9 minutes, more than 40 minutes longer than the 88-minute feature film.
The Blu-ray collection also comes with Digimon: The Movie’s original dubbed version, so fans can watch the story as they did in theaters as kids, too.
Discotek Media has steadily brought classic Digimon anime to Blu-ray over the past few years. Digimon Adventure and Digimon Adventure 02 are both available on Blu-ray with versions with English dubs and the original Japanese with subtitles. Unlike the movie collections, though, there are separate English and Japanese editions.
Shout Factory has handled the Blu-ray releases for the six Digimon Tri movies, which are available in a 6-Film Collection for $70. Shout Factory also released Blu-ray versions for the last two movies. Digimon Adventure: Last Evolution Kizuna (2020) is available for $17.20, and Digimon Adventure 02: The Beginning (2023) is $16.90.

Digimon on DVD
Many seasons of the Digimon TV series have yet to release on Blu-ray and are often difficult to find on DVD, too. You can find some Digimon seasons for reasonable prices from resellers, including Digimon Fusion and the first part of Digimon Tamers. There’s also a DVD box set with Digimon Adventure, Digimon Adventure 02, Tamers, and Frontier, though it has mixed reviews.
