Toon Zone has a little bite from “TV Guide” where James Masters (who plays Piccolo in the upcoming American live action Dragon Ball movie) briefly mentions the series:
Oh, Dragonball is the coolest television cartoon in the last 50,000 years. It’s got a Shakespearean sense of good and evil. The movie has incredible action scenes with characters with unbelieveable powers. It’s going to be really visually exciting.
