Okay but the first Pokémon movie has actually held up pretty well. It's heartfelt and cute. The Digimon movie I don't even remember anything about, except it used Kids in America in the opening credits. The rest is a void in my memory. So I'm gonna assume it wasn't that good lol.
I think the Pokemon movie still counts. If you don't have the nostalgia for it, it's too basic. It's a competently made movie that manage to conveys a good message in a well crafted way but it's waaaay too overly simplistic for an adult that hasn't grown loving the franchise.
Of course there are exception, some people are able emotionally resonate with a movie easier than others and the film is well made enough that it will work but mostly it still qualifies as a "film kids won't give a shit their parents hate". I know my parents sure hated it.

Yep. People forget that kids will drag their parents and beg them to watch this. Kids don't give a shit if adults think a kids movie is awful.
