DRAGON BALL SUPER: SUPER HERO TBC

★★★★☆ OUT 19 AUGUST CINEMAS

Penned by series franchise is a nostalgic return to the show’s early eras (despite a first-time use of 3D animation). Themes of fatherhood and mentor-student relationships are explored as alien warrior Piccolo and original hero Goku’s son Gohan face off against a resurrected Red Ribbon Army. The story is relatively lightweight and newcomers may still be left confounded, but long-term fans will enjoy the many throwbacks and customary epic rage attacks. Available in subbed and dubbed versions.
