Do I think FUNi will release this dubbed? Probably. As a double feature with the 2008 special? Yeah, I don't think so.
Unless, FUNi somehow strikes up some amazing deal along with the new movie with Toei and Shueisha.
If you're not here soon... GET ON!

What would be really neat if somewhere in the background (probably when they show civilians or something) we see two characters that resembles Justin Chatwin and Emmy Rossum but drawn in Toriyama's style. It would be a really neat cameo and throw back to Evolution. I really doubt the animators will do it but that would be so cool!

Speaking of actor comeos, it'd be cool if some of the cast got visual background character cameos.

They could be hostages (real names and everything) who were kidnapped and the Z fighters have to save them.

Hostage story? Nah, just gimme battles involving only Goku versus the whole lot of antagonists that can transform to their true power states, leading to battles that involve solar system busters, moving at blinding faster-than-light speed.

While Goku is my favorite, I'd rather everyone--Piccolo, Gohan, Vegeta--get their own battles to fight too.
Actually, now that I think of Piccolo, I'd really like to see him use some of his more distinct techniques from early on like stretchy-arms and becoming a giant again.
I'd also like to see Goku's feet-based kamehameha again, but I know that request is even less likely. >_>
On hiatus.

Speaking of Piccolo, this will be his first appearance in a movie since the Bojack film (barring any sort of special).

Whoa. And to think I didn't even notice his absence in movies 12 & 13.
I'm re-watching Dragon Ball GT in full on
my blog. Check it out if you're interested in my thoughts on the series as I watch through it!

What if the villain turned everyone into kids (Barring Goten and Trunks)?
It could be something like that episode of Justice League where the good guys had to be turned into kids because a spell was cast that sent all adults to another dimension.
Probably not going to happen but I at least hope perhaps in a future special they do something like this.

Movie should have reality warper like Gabriel from supernatural. Imagine Goku and Vegeta transported to TV land.

It seemed like Toei were somewhat aware of this in
Movie #10, parodying the typical movie "Piccolo saves Gohan in nick of time" scene by having it turn out to be Kuririn in Piccolo's costume (where did he get that?). And
Movie #11's understandable too, since none of the
main main guys were in that film (aside from that short scene with Gokuu at the end), and it's pretty clear it was meant to be focusing on the underdogs. But yeah, it was weird not having him for the last two films, and it's also strange that neither Satan nor Boo popped up in
Movie #13 either. It would've been interesting to see Mr. Boo throw down with Hildegarn, even if Gokuu was destined to defeat him anyway.

More demon villains in DB would be cool. The last demon type of villain that we got was Janemba and that was 17 years ago.

Weren't those 4 villains in the GT Special demons? Or it was just the dub?
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.
Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

I think they were just like ogre type of creatures? I haven't seen the film in years and I'm just going by from what I can remember.

Dragon ball need angels they've already done the demon crap with garlic jr, Janemba, and Bojack. I want to see reality warping with Michael,Raphael, Lucifer, and Gabriel as demons.

What do you mean by reality warping? Do you mean as far as making pigs grow wings and having buildings dance?
I think Boo was sort of a reality warper being that he could change anything into anything, heal wounds and cure blindness.
It's not too late. One day, it will be.
