Remember the animated TV series Digimon? From 20 years ago? Well, for any fans now in their 30s and hoping for a bit of childhood nostalgia, Digimon is getting an animated movie.

During a special Digimon event in Tokyo on Sunday (July 29), animation studio Toei Animation announced that a new feature film is in the works for the Digimon's 20th anniversary.
