The mystery of the bizarre shorts inclusion before Digimon: The Movie has finally been solved.
Digimon: The Movie.Angela Anaconda.
Two properties tied together by forces beyond their control.
You could even call it destiny.
Thats howAngela Anacondaexpert Alexandra Bender summarizedthe intertwined legacy of these two franchises and its spot on.
(Angela has excellent taste.)
However, Angelas mortal enemy, Nanette, is able to snag a better seat and block her view.
This sends Angela into a revenge fantasy where she digivolves into Angelamon and foils Nanette.
Its all for naught though as Angela realizes shes in the wrong theater and rushes out.
Why include a short from a comedy series on the action-adventureDigimonmovie?
And no,contrary to popular internet rumor, theAngela Anacondashort was not the cause of a divorce.
Thats been debunked with in-depth analysis byYouTuber TheDigiKnow.
Or its just people on the internet being people on the internet.

At one point I thought, Am I in the wrong theater?
Did I come to see theAngela Anacondamovie instead ofDigimon?
It was the corporate powers that be, it had really nothing to do with me.
It wasnt a push by theAngela Anacondateam.

With that knowledge, perhapsDigimonfans will be able to view the short in a new light.
She even imagines herself Digivolving!
Shes a fan, just like us.
