About the Movie Digi-mania invaded the United States in August 1999 when the animated children's series ``Digimon: Digital Monsters'' premiered on Fox Kids Network. Within three months, the show was catapulted quickly into a ratings and retail phenomenon. With its television and retail success, ``Digimon'' has digivolved into a motion picture, which Twentieth Century Fox will release in the United States on Oct. 6. The Internet becomes a battlefield for the DigiDestined and their Digimon companions, as they embark on their greatest adventure yet in ``Digimon: The Movie.'' A powerful new Digimon hatches on the Internet and begins to consume data at an exponential rate. This Internet Digimon rapidly digivolves to its mega form, Diabormon, taking over worldwide communications in the process while preparing to launch missiles from the United States to Japan. With time running out, only the combined efforts of a worldwide network of kids, plus a new mega-hero Digimon named Omegamon, stand in the way of global disaster. ``Digimon: The Movie'' -- It's one small step for mon, one giant leap for monkind! ``Digimon: The Movie 2000'' Toei Animation Co.
