Akane est une jeune fille qui manque de confiance en elle. La veille de son anniversaire, sa mère l'envoie chez une amie, Chii, où elle doit récupérer elle-même son cadeau d'anniversaire. Chii tient une boutique d'antiquités. Akane ne l'aime pas beaucoup car Chii est aussi extravertie qu'Akane est timide. Une fois à la boutique, Akane et Chii font la rencontre du mystérieux alchimiste Hippocrate et de son minuscule apprenti Pipo, qui lui déclarent être en mission pour sauver le monde. À partir de la cave de la maison, ils ouvrent un passage vers un pays merveilleux, Wonderland. Ils reconnaissent en Akane la Déesse du Vent Vert, seule capable de sauver leur monde de la sécheresse en guérissant le prince héritier de la dynastie des rois de la pluie et en l'aidant à accomplir la Cérémonie des Gouttes qui, une fois tous les 600 ans, renouvelle l'eau du royaume. Hippocrate remet à Akane une « Ancre d'en avant », un talisman qui fait pencher son corps en avant chaque fois qu'elle devient négative et l'oblige à aller de l'avant. Akane n'a aucune envie d'explorer cet autre monde, tandis que Chii est tout excitée. Mais les jeunes filles se rendent compte que l'Ancre d'en avant ne laisse pas le choix à Akane : elle se trouve entraînée malgré elle dans un passage souterrain, suivie par Chii.

Leaving school for the day, seven-year-old Taichi finds a baby fox, abandoned by its mother alongside a road in rural Hokkaido. The two bond and Taichi decides to leave the fox with the police as a lost item. The policeman on duty takes a reluctant Taichi and the fox to the local Yajima Veterinary Clinic. It turns out that Taichi has begun to live with Ko, the vet, and his teenage daughter Misuzu after his free-spirited mother Ritsuko has gone to Micronesia to work as a photographer. Many people have abandoned animals with Ko, and paying customers are few with most of his income coming from frequently boarding a friendly dog that is almost part of the family. Taichi feels abandoned as well, and clashes with Ko when the vet sees the new arrival as a burden, especially after discovering that the fox is deaf and blind. However, Taichi names it Helen after Helen Keller and attempts to bring her back to full health while teaching her about the world as sort of a young Annie Sullivan. Even though Taichi gets her to eat, Helen suffers increasing fits stemming from her brain, which is the result of a tumor.

Un soir, au Highton View Terrace, à Tokyo, un œuf constitué de données virtuelles émane de l'écran d'ordinateur de deux jeunes enfants : Taichi et sa petite sœur Hikari. Peu après, l'œuf éclot et une étrange créature en sort. Le monstre évolue progressivement, devenant de plus en plus gros et puissant (il finit par devenir une sorte de dinosaure jaune), ce qui ne manque pas de poser problème lorsqu'il décide de parcourir la ville avec la petite Hikari sur son dos. Taichi se lance à leur poursuite, constatant les dégâts que la créature a provoqués. C'est alors que dans le ciel, un second œuf, cette fois gigantesque, apparaît et une autre créature, ressemblant à une sorte d'aigle — Parrotmon — surgit alors. Les deux monstres se lancent dans un féroce combat au cours duquel le dinosaure se transforme une nouvelle fois en une créature encore plus impressionnante, Greymon. Taichi et Hikari, ainsi que plusieurs autres enfants, assistent à la lutte. Grâce aux encouragements des deux enfants, l'ennemi est terrassé dans une immense explosion.

A four-minute short film featuring characters from the Angela Anaconda series appeared before the film in the theatrical and home media releases. In this segment, Angela and her friends line up to watch Digimon: The Movie, but Nannette and her friends cut in line since they have passes. As Angela makes a mad dash to save seats for her friends, Mrs. Brinks (with help from Nannette) sits in front of her, blocking her view. Angela scornfully imagines herself Digivolving into Angelamon to defeat Mrs. Brinks and Nannette, removing all obstacles in enjoying her movie. However, everyone in the audience realizes they are in the wrong movie, so they quickly leave to go to the correct theater, leaving Mrs. Brinks and Nannette behind with the latter covered in food.
