For more detailed information on the DragonBall movies, be sure to visit the "Movie Guide" on this site. There, you'll find in-depth information such as the original Japanese titles, fully translated cast and crew listings, both the original Japanese and English voice actors, theme songs, and more!

DB movie 1 was produced by FUNimation along with the first 13 episodes back in 1995 for release on home video, which was edited and English Dubbed Only. The "Saga of Goku" boxset contains these episodes and the movie as they were originally produced. This version of the movie contains scenes from TV episode 2, in addition to the regular movie footage. Since then, FUNimation has redubbed the first 13 episodes with the original Japanese score (they had replaced it, earlier) and aired them on Cartoon Network, with plans for an eventual DVD release. While nothing specific has been stated, it is likely that movie 1 will see a re-release with a Japanese audio track and re-dub at some point in the future.

DB movie 2 had, up until 2005, only its original edited and uncut English dub VHS release available for purchase. In 2005, it finally received a bilingual DVD release, as a part of FUNimation's DB movies 2-4 boxset on 6 December 2005. This boxset was recently re-released on 12 February 2008; it is essentially identical to the original release (no re-dubbed audio, no music changes, no translation changes on the Japanese side, etc.) except that it is packaged as a "thin-pack" set.

DB movie 3 contains only the original Japanese title card; missing is the English one created for the VHS release.

DB movies 1 and 3 have their own original animation for the opening theme song.
