Son Goku in his Super Saiyan form in Legend: A Dragon Ball Tale.

Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z were both aired during the 90s on Toonami, which helped to make the franchise popular. The new theatrical film, Super Hero, hitting theaters in August, has increased the popularity of Dragon Ball's fan base. If that isn't enough for you, there's a fan film that beats with the fandom heart of a thousand suns.

Legend: A Dragon Ball Tale, which was created by Studio Stray Dog and directed by Naseer Pasha, has gotten a lot of attention since it was released last week. The film is short, but simple, and it tells the story of two people who go to Earth to find one another. At about ten minutes long, Legend captures the essence of the source material, from the way Woolen says "Kakarot" to the fact that Chi-Chi doesn't understand how he was able to get rid of Goku. It can be seen that it was made by fans of the property.

“To every child who believed that they could train in 100 time the earth’s gravity, and to every artist who taped Dragon Ball Z and paused it to draw their favorite heroes, this is dedicated to you....Mr. Toriyama, please accept this as a small token of gratitude, and as a grand love letter to the worlds that you’ve created and shared with all us children of the 90s. The inspiration will forever remain immeasurable.

The rest of the staff did this out of the sheer enthusiasm for Dragon Ball Z because production on Legend took four years. If you want to support his work in the future, he wants the next project to be done quickly.
