A retrieval mission for a straw hat sounds simple until you realize the entire crew gets its own moment to shine, and the movie doesn't waste a single scene on filler. The 3D animation is genuinely disorienting at first, but it becomes invisible once the character dynamics take over, which is exactly what matters. This is One Piece at its most efficient, all personality, zero drag, built for fans who just want to watch their crew be themselves for ninety minutes.

The Straw Hat crew springs into action when Luffy wakes to find his treasured straw hat gone, and the whole crew joins the search. While poking around a ship that looks abandoned, Usopp and Chopper come across an ailing pirate and bring him back aboard the Thousand Sunny to care for him. Soon after, the crew spots a bird clutching Luffy's hat and gives chase, only to run into the Marines and Sea Kings along the way. This original 3D film mixes action, adventure, comedy and fantasy, turning a hunt for a single hat into a lively pursuit at sea. It was screened as a double bill with the Toriko 3D film.
