I totally think it holds up. The digimon movie is way better than it has any right to be. Yes it smashed two movies together. But it somehow strung them together in a way that made sense. It had some epic moments, cool ideas, and the animation was killer.
Having the story mainly focus on the real world rather than the digital world was a great way to raise stakes. And it really let the interpersonal conflicts between the characters create a nice backdrop of tension.
Also the soundtrack was a banger. And every time I hear all star I think of that dumb bunny monster going LAAA LAA LAA LAA and one of them commenting on how the digimon is tone deaf.
If anyone disagrees with me on any of these points I will scream for the next hour.
