This is an intersting piece of work in that it is a Dragon Ball Movie but the story takes place decades after GT ends. It is also light on action and more in tune with some comedy and story telling.

The story here is that it has been nearly a century since GT ended and Goku went to train with Shenron. Pan is now an old woman who is raising her grandchild Goku jr. Goku bears an uncanny resemblance to his ancestor but lacks his courage (much like a young Gohan). Goku gets bullied at school and does not stand up for himself. One day while Pan is lecturing Goku on how he should stand up to those bullies she suffers a heart attack. Goku fearing the worst decides to journy to Mount Pao to find the Dragon Balls and wish Pan healthy again. Along the way he faces off against some evil demons, gains some friends, and even brings out his hidden powers (aka Super Sayin). In the end all ends happily as he meets his Ancestor Goku and learns of what real courage is and what his future could hold.

This is a simple movie that like I said is light on action and is more about telling a good story. Goku is a lovable character and the villians, although weak compared to what his ancestor faced off against numerouse times prove menacing enough that they are decent foes. Overall this is one of the better Dragon Ball movies and comes recomended. However if you watch them for the action then you may want to avoid this one.

This is a nicer, more laid-back DB film. It's about young Goku, not the powerful Saiyan, his descendant. 100 years after the end of Dragon Ball Z, young Goku's grandmother Pan has suffered a stroke and is in the hospital. He sets out on a journey to Mt. Pao, his great great grandfather's home to find the Dragon Ball, which has the power to heal his grandmother. A nice movie full of comedy and emotion. Not a hardcore fighting movie, but it does have a camillo with a beloved Dragon Ball character.

Don't expect any great quality movie like one from the DBZ series, (Broly, lord slug, bojack, etc.) But then again, I don't think they were aiming high when they made this movie. This is definitely a good movie, and don't listen to these bad reviews, they were expecting too much from this movie.

If you do get this movie, expect something like Dragonball, not dbz, or even DBGT. The point of this movie wasn't to make awesome fight scenes, (if it was...i...ive lost all hope for the world) or a great story, it was to make something of pretty good quality, but not great.

Get it, enjoy it, move on, grow older, forget the movie, come back to it 8 years later....you know the story.

Wow! This is a great movie. I recommend it to anyone. This movie was so sad I was left in tears!

this dvd was okay. the plot is starts when Pan gets a stroke, ends up in a hospital and could possibly die. then, goku jr. finds out that in order to save pan, he must travel to where goku (the original) lived to get the four star dragonball. this is okay but does not have any of the classic dbz action. o well, hope they make a better one.

I've seen the Japanese version of this film, and couldn't wait for it to be dubbed into english.

100 years after Goku leaves Earth, his Great Great...well, you get it, Grandson, Goku Jr., has to set out on a quest to find the 4-star dragonball, which he believes will help his sick Grandma.

Even though Goku Jr. is a complete coward, you have to fall in love with him. He's absolutely adorable, even when there are tears and snot running down his face, and pee running down his leg. He finds out at the end that he does have courage when he needs it, and proves that the power of the Super Saijin will never die.

Looking at the cover for this movie, I bought it thinking that I would get the proper dosage of over-the-top action that defines DBGT.
Boy, was I glad to be wrong.
The cover is simply packed with lies, as to this is not an action-packed Chop Socky-fest. Instead, it focuses on Goku Jr., a decendant of (who else?) Goku, who's trying to find the 4-star Dragon Ball to save Pan, who is his grandmother. Along the way he encounters a hot bluish-green chick who wants to eat him, and teams up with a bully who's tormented him for ages.
No long, drawn-out fights here, just good storytelling and character development.
While there are plot inconsistincies (where in the heck are Goku Jr.'s parents?), this is a nice way to end Dragon Ball. Entirely worth the cash.

I've been a Dragonball fan for a while now, and this has to be the most interesting dragonball movie yet. This brings back the adventurous quality that was found in the "Lost Episodes" of Dragon Ball GT, or the Dragonball series as a whole. Its an enjoyable experience, but the main character, Son Goku (Not the one we all know, his Great great Grandson) is a bit of a wimp, which is disappointing to see.

Overall, if you want a good anime experience, or you just like Dragonball, this movie is worth watching again and again

This is great. I really enjoyed this and it was really funny. It also proved a good point, with a little help from your friends you can make it. The way Chibi Gokou reacts when Pan gets sick is amazing and the way it makes you feel, it's like your in the Anime. And when Gokou has to go on the journey to find the dragonball to bring back Pan, it is just an amazing story. I'm not goin to sit here and blah blah my mouth off, go check it out. I give it A+
