Return My Gohan! - DBZ Movie #1
Original release date: 7.15.89 Released in: Japan Movie #: 1 Producer: Toei Animation Comments: Somewhat humerous at times..that's about it.
Movie Summary: This movie starts out with Piccolo meditating in the wilderness, griping to himself about losing to Goku in the previous Budoukai. He is then ambushed by Garlic Jr. and his henchmen. The three warriors kick the crap out of Piccolo. Then it cuts to Gohan...studying, of course. Probably because his mother told him too. Gohan is then interrupted by the three demons from the previous scene who beat on Piccolo. Gohan comes to find out that they are after the Dragonball on top of Gohan's little hat. They then proceed to manhandle Chichi and kidnap Gohan. Goku then rushes back to his home sensing that something is wrong, to find his wife injured and his son gone. He then takes off on his quest to find his son Gohan. Garlic Jr, obtains all of the Dragonballs and wishes for immortality. Having a new found sense of cockiness, he decides not to kill Gohan right away but to..train him? Go figure. Anyway, Goku arrives to face Garlic Jr. and his henchmen. He begins his battle with the three henchmen Ginger, Sansho and Nikki. Out of nowhere Kami shows up and faces Garlic Jr., revealing that neither him or Piccolo had perished in the attack. Then a story about how Garlic Jr. came about was told, 300 years ago, Kami and Garlic fought. Kami was still standing after the battle, Garlic was'nt. Now 300 years later Garlic Jr., son of Garlic is seeking revenge. Kami battles Garlic Jr. while Goku continues to battle the three demons with the help of Piccolo. Kami eventually loses to Garlic Jr. and Goku and Piccolo lend a hand. Garlic Jr. transforms into a 12 foot version of himself. (Supposingly intimidating the others). He opens the portal to the dead zone, Gohan gets mad and unleashes his 'hidden power' and knocks Garlic Jr. into the dead zone and all our hero's live happily ever after. Oh yeah they laugh too.
