Are The Bleach Movies Canon
No; Bleach movies are not canon. Some elements from the first Bleach movie are definitely canon, or at least they fit into the timeline. The character from it appears in several Heat the Soul games.
The second Bleach movie explains a great deal more about Hitsugaya. The third Bleach movie is kinda dicey since Kubo likes to pretend the fourth never occurred. Basically, the fourth movie is just straight-up filler.
