About this converter
Toei Animation lists an official theatrical runtime for every Dragon Ball film, repeated by the BBFC in classification listings. Early festival features run 41 to 72 minutes, while modern epics stretch to 100. Dead Zone from 1989 runs 41 minutes and Super Hero from 2022 runs 99. This table keeps twelve theatrical features from 1989 to 2022 with credits included, as published by Toei and the BBFC.
How to use it
Pick two entries and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. Try Dead Zone against Super Hero to feel the 58 minute gap. Switch to hours for a friendlier reading of long films.
Runtimes count the full theatrical presentation including credits. Television specials such as Bardock and the History of Trunks are left out because they premiered on TV. The 1996 Path to Power remake is left out to keep one line per era. One or two minutes of drift between sources reflects credit roll rounding. Broly at 100 minutes tops the table, with Super Hero one minute behind at 99. Early festival films cluster near one hour.
