Global InformationList of One Piece films information
Since the premiere of the anime adaptation of Eiichiro Oda's One Piece manga in 1999, Toei Animation has produced 15 feature films based on the franchise traditionally released during the Japanese school spring break since 2000.[1] Four of the films were originally shown as double features alongside other Toei film productions and thus have a running time below feature length (between 30 and 56 minutes). The first three films were shown at the Toei Anime Fair (東映アニメフェア, Toei Anime Fea) and the eleventh was released as part of Jump Heroes Film. The films generally use original storylines, but some adapt story arcs from the manga directly. With the release of films ten, twelve, thirteen, and fourteen, tie-in story arcs of the TV series were aired concurrently.
Additionally, three of these films have had special featurette shorts, showcasing the characters engaged in various activities unrelated to the series. They were shown dancing in Jango's Dance Carnival with Clockwork Island Adventure; playing soccer in Dream Soccer King! with Chopper's Kingdom on the Island of Strange Animals; and playing baseball in Take Aim! The Pirate Baseball King with The Curse of the Sacred Sword. There are also 13 television specials that were broadcast on Fuji TV and two short films, which were shown at the 1998 Jump Super Anime Tour and 2008 Jump Super Anime Tour, respectively.
As with the franchise's anime television series, the eighth, tenth, twelfth, thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth films have been licensed by Funimation/Crunchyroll and released in both subtitled and dubbed formats. Additionally, the first through seventh and ninth films have been released in the United Kingdom with English subtitles.[2]
