Movie

The One Piece Movies are self-contained animated films based on the series. They have completely original plots with animation of higher quality than what the weekly anime allows for. Additionally, three of these movies have had special featurette shorts: The Adventure on Clockwork Island with Jango's Dance Carnival, Chopper's Island of Strange Animals with Dream Soccer King!, and The Curse of the Sacred Sword with Take Aim! The Pirate Baseball King. 

The One Piece anime series has received positive responses from reviewers and viewers alike. While the original Japanese series has gained praise, the 4Kids English dub version has garnered some significant criticism. The Funimation English dubbed version, in contrast to its 4Kids counterpart, has received praise.[citation needed].

In a review of the second DVD release of 4Kids Entertainment's dub, Todd Douglass, Jr. of DVD talk called its adaptation a "shabby treatment" resulting in an "arguably less enjoyable rendition". Douglass said that the 4Kids original opening was "a crappy rap song" and that the removal of whole scenes leaves a "feeling that something is missing". He later went on to say that "Fans of the 'real' One Piece will want to skip picking [...] up [4Kids Entertainment's One Piece DVDs] until an uncut release is announced", and also stated that "kids may get into this version because it's what they have seen on TV." Margaret Veira of Active Anime praised the TV series' "great" animation, stating that "It gives life and stays true to the style and characters of the manga." and noting the fight scenes in particular as having "a lot of energy to them". Patrick King of Animefringe comments that the art style of One Piece is "very distinctive and fresh". In a review of the first Funimation DVD release for Mania Entertainment, Bryce Coulter comments that One Piece is "not your typical pirate adventure" and that mixed with "the right amount of random fun along with a shonen style storyline" it becomes "an appealing and fun romp". In a review of Funimation Entertainment's second DVD release for Mania Entertainment, Bryce Coulter comments that "You can tell that they are giving One Piece the attention that was neglected by 4Kids" and that "One Piece is a great tale of high-seas fun that will leave you wanting more!
