I think they should make a movie about Vegeta and Qui's rivalry. I always thought that was underdeveloped.

It doesn't need to capture Toriyama's multiple styles. Toei's been doing that for twenty years. Yamamuro is now forming his own new era for the franchise's art. There isn't much point in trying to copy Toriyama's art absolutely perfectly, panel-for-panel, a second or third time. The current stuff Yamamuro supervises is refreshing for that very reason, it sets itself apart from what has come before without being completely unfamiliar.
Looks more like fanart to me.
My favourite art style (and animation) outside Toriyama who worked on Dragon Ball: Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru, Masaki Satō, Minoru Maeda, Takeo Ide, Hisashi Eguchi, Katsumi Aoshima, Tomekichi Takeuchi, Masahiro Shimanuki, Kazuya Hisada

That is most certain accurate answer, Sangofe. I honestly don't know how DBKHD came to that conclusion (maybe he's only aware of the Eng dub?).

Information about the countries dubbing Dragon Ball Kai can be found here: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclo ... p?id=10877

1. Chinese (Taiwan)
2. English (American / FUNimation)
3. French
4. Japanese
5. Korean
6. Portuguese (Brazilian)
7. Spanish (Catalán)
8. Spanish (Mexicano)
9. Tagalog (Spoken by Philippines)

I was told that there'll be a Spanish (Castellano) dub of Dragon Ball Kai by Selecta Visión but no official date release. Is the Canadian company Ocean Studios dubbing DB Kai?

So then, two more to add to the list, supposedly.

I guess the only logical response to this is:

Someone is being rude to their fellow fans with backhanded comments and should probably re-read the rules that they agreed to prior to registration.

Seriously? That's how you're going to open a post? Please take a step back and re-read what you're writing before you actually go forward with it. If you are unable to politely converse with the rest of the community, then this is not the place for you.

Eh... I only assumed because I haven't heard the other countries broadcast Kai, with U.S. the only country other than Japan to air Kai. Actually I knew something was going on with Mexican dubbing company via EX's homepage update a few months ago, but I haven't heard they actually went and air it yet. Or maybe I'm missing it.

You say that as if traditional cell animation is still on the table. As long as it looks as good as the Episode of Bardock adaptation, I'm game; that's as good as I realistically expect the animation to be though.

As for what to make the movie about... I vote for an adaptation of Who Wants to be a Super Hero.

I'd like some new movies. I wouldn't like the existing movies to be remade in Kai style.

That Bardock adaptation is precisely the type of thing I had in mind when I made that post. I dislike nearly everything about the way it looks and moves.

I'm pretty much for anything new Dragon Ball related at this point. Even if the feature is complete balls, there's always something good that comes out of it.
