SlyGuy21 While some things differ from the first "Dragon Ball" saga, there's enough of the show's charm to carry it. The voice actors are slightly different, with only Chris Sabat reprising his role, but they're similar to the ones I'm used to so it's not that big of a fault. Condensing the first 13 episodes into just 50 minutes was actually pretty successful. There's next to no filler, and the movie flows great from one moment to the next. While I wish the climax was a little longer, and I'd probably choose to watch the episodes individually than watch this as a replacement, it still delivers on the action, comedy, and memorable characters that the show introduced in the first season.

John Doe This was the first Dragon Ball film released in Japan under the title 'Dragon Ball: Shenron no densetsu' which means Dragon Ball: The Legend of Shenlong' in English. It was originally released in America by Trimark Entertainment in a edited version.I enjoyed this movie and thought it was cute, humorous and fun to watch. It has been dubbed multiple times into English using different voice actors each time.This is a an good and interesting movie for people to want to get in the Dragon Ball Universe.I give Dragon Ball: Curse of the Blood Rubies a 7/10.

BulmaPunkRocker It's been a really long time since the first time I watched this movie. I was still on school, back in the mid 90s.This alternate re-telling of the Dragon Ball first episodes kept the original spirit of the story, and seems more appropriate for younger audiences.It is a classic I have on my old VHS collection, that I'm looking forward to replace with DVD-Blu Ray release. A must have for every Dragon Ball fan.There's even a live action remake of this movie, made in Taiwan! Don't miss that one!

OUKnight99 I thought this movie served as an excellent introduction to the series, and because it's a semi original plotline, those who have seen the series will enjoy another outing with Son Goku.The animation is good, and (while I prefer the japanese) the english dubbing isn't half bad. The story line is simple, involving basically the dragonball gang looking for the something while a giant army does the same, resulting in a multitude of exciting (and never repetitive) fights. Lots of humor, lot's of action, and excellent characters, what more could you possibly ask for?I definately give this movie an A+!
