Dragon Ball Movies Watch Order: A Complete Chronological Guide (2023)

Dragon Ball is an anime that almost everyone has watched in their childhood. From its bright visuals to vintage action scenes, every aspect of the classic Dragon Ball has a nostalgic element on its side. Despite the anime having 5 seasons and a total of 807 episodes, the number of movies is also huge.

Almost 80% of the movies are non-canonical and do not add to the actual story of Dragon Ball. Still, die-hard fans of the franchise might want to stay updated with the overall series without a hole in their heart. So, we have come up with a chronological sequence of the Dragon ball movies in which they can be enjoyed!

The Dragon Ball franchise covers Goku’s journey along with his friends, right from his childhood, as he trains to become stronger on the quest to find wish-fulfilling seven Dragon Balls.
