Like all original Dragon Ball movies, Dragon Ball Movie 3 Mystical Adventure is basically a retelling of what happened up to that point slidly altered. Chaotzu is an emperor with Master Shen and Tenshinhan being his underlings. Bora, Upa, Tao Pai Pai and Arale appear in this movie but with lesser roles compared to their anime counterpart and some references are made to the main story but without the same impact. In fact, it might be the weakest of all 4 purely Dragon Ball movies simply because the scenes that end up being weak homages could never carry the same impact as most of them ...

After having watched the previous Dragonball movies, it's quite clear this is the superior among them due to the quality of animation, and the ways in which the story is reworked while including most major story beats. There is far less reusing of individual frames, which adds to the watchability significantly. The way in which the story is remixed is interesting that it holds a Dragonball fans attention due to being different enough, while sticking closer to something resembling the Dragonball canon.

Unlike the previous movies which felt more like extended episodes, or filler arcs, this movie really felt closer to an anime movie experience. ...

Of all of the Dragon Ball movies this one does by far the best job of adapting elements of the TV show into a new version of the story and is the best at capturing the feeling of the TV show, but does so without feeling too beholden to it.

It is also the first movie and one of the few across Dragon Ball, Z, GT, and Super, to introduce darker and more emotional moments and themes which I think is a great descion and really helps make Mystical Adventure feel like a more fleshed out experience rather than just some light-hearted fun.

That's not to say ...
