General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: The original hook would have been interesting but needs editing. Digimon Adventure: Our War Game! was the second Digimon movie Hosoda made after he was hired. In addition, Hosoda graduated in 1991, so he did not immediately direct the films after he was hired or after graduation. Some parts need sourcing. Plag-free, (Earwig).

@Darwin Naz: Struck ALT0 and rephrased section in article. Can you please clarify which parts of the article need sourcing?. Morgan695 (talk) 02:01, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

For example, the entry about Diaboromon in other Digimon media; the reference to early drafts of the script; and, the film's soundtrack. Unless you are reusing same sources cited elsewhere in the article. Darwin Naz (talk) 03:17, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

@Darwin Naz: Added additional references. Morgan695 (talk) 14:52, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

@Morgan695: Do you want to suggest new hooks? Otherwise, I am recommending ALT3. Darwin Naz (talk) 23:15, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

@Darwin Naz: I'm fine with any of the hooks. Morgan695 (talk) 23:44, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
