A decent reimagining of some of the early parts from the first Dragon Ball series, redone in a style similar to Dragon Ball Z with a much bigger focus in action, but still keeping some of the humorous, whimsical tone these Goku's first adventures had.
The animation is very nicely done, with some interesting redesigns. Maybe a bit rushed in a couple of moments, but I guess that might be the result of trying to cram so many characters and plot points in just about 80 minutes, even when several events from the manga and anime were omitted here.
That said, I still consider this one of the best Dragon Ball movies, with its nostalgic element being more effective as time passes.
May Toriyama rest in peace.

Dragon Ball: An alternate beginning
Best Dragon Ball Movie ever made.
Yet another alternate retelling of the Original Dragon Ball series. Only this time it's longer than the first 3.
The story retells how Goku and Bulma first met for their search of the Dragon Balls. Also an alternate retelling on how they met Yamcha, Blur, Oolong, Master Roshi, & Turtle. Along the journey they will encounter representatives of the Red Ribbon Army who are also looking for the Dragon Balls.
The cool thing about this movie is it's the 10th Anniversary of the original TV series. The animation is newer and comparable to the GT series. Most of the characters look different including Commander Red, General Blue, & General Silver.
It's twice as long as the previous 3, so it has more variety and more elements to watch. Those who are long time or new coming fans of Dragon Ball will agree that this one's the best movie of the original TV series.
