The TV Show
Digimon - Digital Monsters is a cartoon anime show which is notorious for its
current run on the Fox Kids Network. Anime is the japanese style of cartooning,
and it has a very distinct look to it. Usually anime movies have gratuitous
sex and over excessive violence, so younger kids should stay away. There are
some of exceptions though, quality films like "Kiki's Delivery Service" and
"Princess Monuoke" are good choices for children, they both have a Disney
rythm to them. The shows Pokémon, Monster Rancher, and Digimon are also
suitable for the young'ns. Digimon is obviously aimed at a young
audience, but I have found that all ages have and can enjoy this program, for
it has moral lessons for the the very young, some complex situations which
can be appretiated by older kids, and is all around a very beautifully
composed show which everyone can appretiate. The animation is just
outstanding, and I can guaruntee that your first viewing of the show will get
you hooked, or if you already have seen it then it must have been breath
taking.
WARNING! THE FOLLOWING CONTAINS A FEW SPOILERS! IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO

one. They are suddenly transported to the unknown. THE DIGIWORLD! (Not this
