So I'm a 90 kid and I watched all of the digimon adventures, the movie for the first season and digimon 02 and digimon gamers.

I wanna try rewatching the series and maybe the newer ones if I get into it.

The question I have is are the other movies "canon" or can I skip? Also if I can skip then can you give me a correct watch order please?

I remember digimon gamers being my favorite but digimon adventures having the sorta more nostalgia feel to it.

Every movie is canon to it's timeline but the 02 ones have no importance to the plot, for adventure it's
-the short movie
-the show
-Omnimon's movie (our war game)
-02
-revenge of diaboromon and the other one
Skippable:03
-last evolution kizuna
-digimon adventure:the beginning

Every other thing is standalone with the movie in the end except digimon tamers where the first movie is somewhere in the middle (very strange in canon but a character does appear later)
Have fun, digimon is a masterpiece

honestly, I loved the movies i watched so far, and if I remember correctly, they are canon if you want a chronological order
1.digimon adventure, the 20 min movie episode that aired before the show
2.digimon adventure
3. Our war game
4.Digimon adventure 02
5.Digimon Hurricane touchdown/revenge of diaboramon
6.Digimon tri 1-6
7.Digimon Adventure Last Evolution Kizuna
8.Digimon 02 The Beginning
9.Digimon Tamers
10.Digimon Frontiers
11.Digimon Adventure 2020
Now, there are some other shows and movies I'm missing that you can also watch but atm idk where those fit in or if they are needed but to my knowledge this is the bulk of it that you'd want to watch. I'm actually in the middle of this rn Im currently watching tamers and frontiers cause I don't have Last Evolution and 02 the beginning but those don't hinder my watch for either so I can revisit those after hope this helps good luck on your digimon adventure lol 🫡

Adventure movies are all canon but can be skipped if you're not interested in watching them.

@Deanomac2010
The order of the Tamers movies also doesn't matter, provided you know all the digimon that are in them. Only the 1st movie "Battle of Adventurers" is canon, but the 2nd movie "Runaway Locomon" is better.

thanks mate.

so I can just watch the 20 min movie before I start digimon adventures, then watch s1 and then finish the movie afterwards the war movie?

digimon our war game, is spilt into the 2 parts, so I can watch the first 20 mins before starting s1 and the rest at the end of digimon adventures?

then on tamers, I just watch those 2 movies once I finish tamer s3?

Can I take this to mean you're watching "Digimon the Movie" English dub? If that's the version you're watching, you're better off watching the whole movie all at once halfway through 02.

if you are watching it I reccomend just picking up digimon the movie collection through discotek also to watch the movies you might want to watch the original separated versions first again which you can do through the discotek release which is why I said watch the 20 min ep movie first then s1 than our war game cause those are two separate things.
the american "digimon the movie" is a huge mess of a movie because it takes
1.the 20 min episode that aired before s1
2.our war game
and
3.Hurricane touchdown and puts it into one combined plot that changes a few things in the story around which doesn't make sense lol

It makes more sense than the Japanese Hurricane Touchdown.

yeah I prefer dub.

but if its easier to watch the films/specials sub then I suppose it might be the sensible option.

I just noticed the American dub version shows the war movie and the prelouge to digimon adventures so thought I could watch that version.

Adventure movie -> Adventure -> Our War Game -> Adventure 02 -> Revenge Of Diaboromon -> Adventure Tri -> Last Evolution -> Adventure 02 The Beginning

Side story: Adventrure 02 movies

Don't forget the spinoff series, those are good too

Ignore Adventure 2020 remake unless you watching purely for visuals

The 3 movies included in Digimon The Movie have new dubs that are faithful to the Japanese originals.

pretty much, every series has its own cannon/universe so they're pretty interchangeable. if you want to start with adventure, this order is perfect. the other series' can be watched in any order actually
