The Dragon Ball films are animated and live-action films made based on the Dragon Ball manga and its four animated TV series, Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball Super, and Dragon Ball GT.

Overview

All Dragon Ball movies were originally released in theaters in Japan, typically when the vast majority of Japanese school children are on spring and summer vacations in March and July, although it pairs up with a Dr. Slump movie, usually 60 minutes long. All of the movies have been released in the United States, and are usually released under a shorter title. Akira Toriyama, the artist who created the franchise, had little to do with the movies past some of the character designs.^{[citation needed]} However, he is listed as the creator of the movies in the credits. In Daizenshuu 6 (released in 1995), Akira Toriyama stated that he considers the movies to be stories in a "different dimension" than the main story of the manga he created.^[1] Daizenshuu 7 lists only Dead Zone and Cooler's Revenge in the main timeline.

Trivia

Cooler and Broly are the only movie characters to appear in more than one movie as the main villain.
- Broly has appeared in the most movies as the main villain.
In the video game, Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3, the levels taken from the movies have their original Japanese titles. These levels take place in what is referred to in the game as the "Special Saga," which consists entirely of battles from the movies, with the exception of the level "Destroy the Makyo Star," which takes place during the Garlic Jr. Saga, which is filler.
The box of the video game Dragon Ball Z: Shin Budokai says that the story mode is based on Fusion Reborn but developers titled it "Fusion Rebirth" on the main menu.
In Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, it is stated that the events of The Tree of Might, Lord Slug, Cooler's Revenge, The Return of Cooler, Broly - The Legendary Super Saiyan, Broly - Second Coming, Fusion Reborn, all occur in a separate timeline from the main one while the villains from main timeline were still living in Hell. However, Cooler is implied to have existed at one point in the main timeline as Frieza recognizes him.
From Dragon Ball Z: The World's Strongest to Dragon Ball Z: Broly - The Legendary Super Saiyan, there’s a recurring gag where the top of Goku’s Gi and shirt are completely ripped off during the battle with the primary film antagonist.
