Like with many anime movies, the One Piece Movie 7 featured scenes in the preview animations that never actually were seen in the movie itself.However it was used again, albeit to a lesser extent, for Movie 9, and the character design was used for Episode 388. Much of the world was produced in CGI and was similar to that of Gunbound. The animation in Movie 6 was experimental.Movies 1-3 and 11, being released as double-features, are all under an hour long.Episode of Chopper Plus: Bloom in Winter, Miracle Sakura.


For the first nine movies, Eiichiro Oda was not involved in the films any more than other anime projects This changed with the production of movie 10, for which Oda wrote the story and served as executive producer.

Most of the movies have completely original stand-alone plots set broadly around the contemporary story arc, but movies 8 and 9 directly adapt storylines from the manga. After the third movie (released in 2002), Toei discontinued the fair, and all subsequent movies were produced as standalone features (with the exception of the eleventh movie, released as a double feature with Toriko 3D Movie: Kaimaku! Gourmet Adventure!! for Toei's 2011 'Jump Heroes' event). Initially, these movies were released annually as part of Toei's springtime 'Anime Fair' events, always as a double feature with various Digimon films. While generally made with the same cast and crew as the TV anime, they tend to boast much higher production values and animation quality. The One Piece Movies are theatrical films produced and released by Toei Animation. For other uses of this name, see One Piece (Disambiguation).
