The two short films were combined with "Digimon Adventure 02: Part 1: Digimon Hurricane Landing!! / Part 2: Supreme Evolution!! The Golden Digimentals" and was released as "" in North America on October 6, 2000. "Digimon: The Movie" was altered from the original script to remove "culturally awkward" Japanese elements and introduced jokes suitable for a North American audience. Originally, scriptwriter Jeff Nimoy wanted to combine "Digimon Adventure" and "Our War Game!" while releasing "Digimon Hurricane Landing / Supreme Evolution!! The Golden Digimentals" as a direct-to-television movie, but the idea was overruled. In order to connect the film's stories, the script was rewritten to include Willis involved in Diaboromon's creation.
