LOS ANGELES--(ENTERTAINMENT WIRE)--Sept. 26, 2000

FoxKids.com today announced that in less than four weeks, more than 74,000 teams of kids have signed up to play in the "Extreme DigiQuiz" competition on DigimonMovie.com, the official Web site of "Digimon: The Movie" (due to release in theaters on October 6).

"We know from experience that kids relish trivia, and the Extreme DigiQuiz gives them a lot to sink their teeth into," said Allison Ellis, vice president, content, for FoxKids.com. "This experience marries kids' passion for Digimon with the excitement and camaraderie ca·ma·ra·der·ie

 of competing with a team of their friends, and that's a powerful combination. We're thrilled with their response so far, and can't wait to build on this success in the future."

The Extreme DigiQuiz, which began on August 30, lets kids create five-person DigiTeams by using special DigiQuiz e-cards to spread the word and invite their friends to join them. Each week through October 13, a new set of 10 multiple-choice questions will be posted for the teams to answer in a chance to earn the highest cumulative score. The winning team will earn an exclusive Digimon backpack brimming brim

About the Movie

Digi-mania invaded the U.S. in August 1999 when the animated children's series "Digimon: Digital Monsters" premiered on Fox Kids Network. Within three months, the show was catapulted quickly into a ratings and retail phenomenon. With its television and retail success, "Digimon" has digivolved into a motion picture, which Twentieth Century Fox will release in the U.S. on October 6.

With time running out, only the combined efforts of a worldwide network of kids, plus a new mega-hero Digimon named Omegamon, stand in the way of global disaster.
