We're always so glad to be able to share treasures like this w/the community in their proper quality in 4:3 & without the egregious filtering we've come to expect from this franchise. Again, it's a shame only 1 reel could be salvaged, but we hope you enjoy all the same!

Also included are every version of FUNi's ENG dub (OG & remastered, US & JP OSTs), AB's Big Green dub, Speedy's Malaysian-English dub, LATAM Spanish dub, & the aforementioned M&E+Music-Only tracks! Also full English subtitles! Thanks to @seedofmight.bsky.social for their contributions here!

Also thanks to those materials, @nappasan.bsky.social was able to create an all-new stereo mix, improving the sound quality & punch over the existing mono mix. Listen for yourself! Of course, this release also includes both the OG mix from the JP Blu-ray & the optical audio from the reel!

Thanks to that, we are including two additional audio tracks on our release: The full music & effects track (no dialogue!) and a music-only track from the same mag source.

But that's not all! We were able to save even more treasures from Texas! Thanks to @MrShinmaru on Twitter, we just so happened to have access to what was likely the Music & Effects magnetic audio reel sent to FUNimation for dubbing. Even more lucky, it was the exact same reel as the film!

Thanks to a miracle we were able to save that Bojack reel from a while ago, & now this! And thanks to it being the first reel of the movie, we now have a pristine 35mm transfer of the opening! We have now scanned at least one variant of every single Dragon Ball opening animation!

The reel covers the first ~20min of the movie, and is likely sourced from FUNimation's film materials. Unfortunately, the other reels were missing. According to @Space_Merle they were thrown away along with dozens of other films when Allied Vaughn’s Dallas office closed ~2008/09.
