DVD Reviews of Dragon Ball Z - The Movie - Tree of MightDVD Review: The ocean dub once again follows the Japanese script Summary: 5 StarsI enjoy these first three movies by the Ocean dub as they follow the original script. I think this is the closet english dub to the first three movies we'll ever get. They have great voice acting and the original music. I have all three movies and I had to order this one but it was worth it.

DVD Review: A series of Dragon Ball Z on video. Summary: 5 StarsI am a huge fan of the Dragon Ball Z show, these videos are a must for anyone who likes a little extra action and can't get enough of the total non-stop adventure from Goku and friends.
I loved the video, it is compared to the most creative cartoons around.
DVD Review: mother nature can get nasty Summary: 5 StarsA bunch of space pirates have can to planet earth and plant a seed that grows the beautiful on the outside but deadly the environment in the inside I'm talking about the Tree of Might, it has the power to devour all living light forms of the planet and into the fruit that grows on the Tree of Might when it is finishing devouring it leaves the planet with nothing but dusk no living creatures what so ever also when the saiyan Turles "that looks like Goku" who eats the fruit off of the tree gives him super strength.
DVD Review: A Clinic in Animation Summary: 5 StarsLove, love, love this movie. Blows me away almost every time I see it. Obviously the title of this review refers to its visual superiority, and that's exactly what it has, in almost every facet. It's puzzling why some people allude to this film as having mediocre animation, because frankly, I think it dazzles in that department. It's on par with any other DBZ movie visually, and that includes "The Return of Cooler," which I believe to be the best of the DBZ movies animation-wise. Maybe I just have awful taste in what looks good, or perhaps I just have no grasp on what good, clean, crisp animation looks like. Who knows really? All I know is that my eyes love what they see when I pop this in the DVD player.
The fight scenes are a little sparse and take some time to get to (I happen to like that, but not a lot of people do), but they're more than worth the wait. There's about a 15 second sequence after Turles takes a bite out of a piece of fruit from the Tree of Might that's about one of the sweetest animated action scenes I've ever seen in my life.
Although I love the way it looks, the sound is pretty delightful in its own right. Pioneer does a good job with dubbing. They leave it relatively untouched and close to its original form, and I like the Pioneer voices a lot better than FUNimation's, especially Piccolo's and Vegeta's.
The sound effects are nice and crystal clear, and I happen to prefer the original score for all DBZ films and episodes, though some of it gets repetitive. I don't really take to a lot of the music that some of these western companies have added, though mainly it's because there's just too damn much of it! I love how in the original form of this anime, there are many points of pure silence, accompanied by only wind whirling in the background or the sounds of the inside of a spaceship. Also, FUNimation and Pioneer (mostly FUNimation) just can't seem to appreciate a scene where no one's supposed to be talking. In the Japanese versions, there are many scenes in which they'll be showing the back of someone's head or their eyes or something and they're completely silent, but FUNimation/Pioneer feels it's incumbent upon them to throw in some voice and it ends up sounding really forced and generic. You never know what type of ambiance silence can create until you watch one of these FUNimation produced movies/episodes in which they just bombard you with music and dialogue non-stop.
Anyway, apart from the impressive visuals and good sound, the story's pretty average, but that's expected since none of the DBZ movies are meant to be linear with the actual plot of the series, rather just side projects done for fun and entertainment purposes. This is why I don't judge these by their storylines/plots, mainly just animation, presentation and general badassedness. This movie excels in all three, so buy it!
