Big Green/AB Groupe Dub of DB Movie 1 featured on DVDs?

Post by bman78 » Tue Aug 29, 2017 10:25 pm

(Forgive me, as this is my first thread)

So, I am curious about something, I was looking at the Wikipedia and Dragon Ball wiki articles for the first Dragon Ball Movie (Curse of the Blood Rubies) and I saw this tidbit:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_Ba ... sh_release
http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Dragon ... s#Releases
Another English dub of the film was produced for European markets by AB Group and dubbed in France and aired in the UK as The Legend of Shenron on Toonami UK in the Summer of 2005, and was released on DVD as the alternate English language track on some European releases.
In the summer of 2005, Toonami UK aired another dub of the movie subtitled The Legend of Shenron done by AB Groupe in France. Some European releases of the movie include this English dub as an alternate audio track, although it is nearly impossible to tell without any known copies in circulation.
I was wondering how accurate these tidbits are, since the only known copy of the movie is a 30-minute recording of hald of the movie from a Toonami UK airing.

I notice the same or similar statements on the Wikipedia and DB Wiki articles for the 2nd and 3rd DB movies.

In short, if these statements are really true, I want to find out what DVDs included the AB Groupe English audio of all three movies, if they exist and what regions they were released in Europe.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!
