Toei Animation has created fourteen feature films based on the property since the debut of the anime version of Eiichiro Oda's One Piece manga in 1999. They have all been released around the Japanese school spring vacation since 2000.
Four of the films were initially shown as part of a double feature with other Toei movies, and therefore had a running duration that is less than that of a feature film (between 30 and 56 minutes).
The first three films were shown at the Toei Anime Fair, and the eleventh was published as part of the Jump Heroes Film collection. The films mostly follow original plots, although some adapt manga narrative arcs directly. Tie-in narrative arcs from the TV series were broadcast simultaneously with the release of films 10, 12, 13, and fourteen.
In addition, three of these films had unique featurette segments that showed the characters doing things unrelated to the series. They were seen dancing with Clockwork Island Adventure in Jango's Dance Carnival, playing soccer with Chopper's Kingdom on the Island of Strange Animals in Dream Soccer King!, and playing baseball with The Curse of the Sacred Sword in taking Aim! The Pirate Baseball King.
There are an additional thirteen television specials that aired on Fuji TV, as well as two short films that were presented during the 1998 and 2008 Jump Super Anime Tours, respectively.
The ninth, tenth, twelfth, thirteenth, and fourteenth films were licensed by Funimation and released in both subtitled and dubbed formats, similar to the anime television series. In addition, the first through ninth films have been released with English subtitles in the United Kingdom.
Straw Hat Chase (2011)
Incredibly, beloved hour-long material like Episode of Merry, 3D2Y, or Episode of East Blue is only available as television specials, yet One Piece 3D: Straw Hat Chase is included among One Piece's films. To be honest, the movie isn't terrible. Given its 30-minute running length, it's remarkable that this was ever advertised as a film.
Straw Hat Chase is the most skippable of One Piece's films, thanks to intrusive CG graphics and a shallow narrative about Luffy losing his hat.

One Piece: The Movie (2022)
One Piece: The Movie pays homage to the series' modest origins (there are only four Straw Hats at this time) and is fun viewing for veteran fans looking to relive the East Blue's young enthusiasm.
The Straw Hats find themselves battling the fearsome Eldorado to discover Captain Woman's great treasure after meeting paths with some robbers and a merchant.
Up until this battle, Eldoraggo has been one of their most formidable opponents, and the modest merchant accompanying them may know more about Captain Woonan than they realize.

Clockwork Island Adventure
Clockwork Island Adventure is the franchise's second film, but it does a good job of building on its predecessor. With Sanji having just joined the team, the Going Merry has a much louder, more thrilling dynamic, which is evident throughout the video.
After the crew's ship is hijacked, the Straw Hats must team up with some odd criminals to navigate the strange Clockwork Island and fight the nefarious Captain Bear King, who is after more than just power, but also Nami's hand in marriage!

The Giant Mechanical Soldier Of Karakuri Castle (2006)
This is the franchise's sixth installment, and it's a bit of a mixed bag. On the one hand, it tells a complete and entertaining narrative of the Straw Hats as they search for a mythical treasure while fighting mecha-based adversaries.
On the other hand, it doesn't say anything or engages the spectator in any way with the narrative. The puzzles and treasure hunt are entertaining, the new characters are eccentric, and the film even provides a little background for how Luffy learns Gear Second, but it's a pity there isn't much emotional involvement in the film.

Baron Omatsuri And The Secret Island (2005)
On Omatsuri Island, the Straw Hats are invited to an island resort. They decide to go to have some fun and take a break from their travels. The Baron of the island, however, dupes them into engaging in absurd tasks once they arrive.
Luffy is anxious to show that he and his crew are "pirates of pirates of pirates of pirates," so he agrees right away. Is it, however, really worthwhile?
The Baron and the inhabitants of the island have a particular aura about them. And as the game progresses, circumstances begin to erode the crew's bond.

Chopper's Kingdom On The Island Of Strange Animals (2002)
Chopper-centric material in One Piece was never one of the series' more popular specials, and Chopper's Kingdom on the Island of Strange Animals is arguably the poorest of them all. To its credit, it's still a great frolic for people who are simply seeking additional material, particularly chopper-related things.
However, the plot never really takes off until Chopper becomes the king of some animals by accident. The narrative even seems to forget about him, leaving Luffy and his companions to deal with the film's real adversaries.

Dead End Adventure (2003)
This is without a doubt one of the greatest One Piece films ever made. Everything was in this film. Gaspard's devil fruit was frightening and added to the film's tension.
It was great to have another well-known bounty hunter. The entire pirate race idea was amazing, and we got to witness real deck-to-deck combat between ships on the open sea.

The Desert Princess And The Pirates: Adventures In Alabasta (2007)
The Straw Hat Pirates visit Alabasta, a desert island where Nefertari Vivi resides. They arrive in a nation that is in the midst of a revolution. Crocodile, the country's hero, utilized his criminal organization, Baroque Works, to erode people's faith in Cobra, Vivi's father and ruler of the Kingdom of Sand, toengagesBefore take the throne and the country's dark secret for himself.
The team must now traverse the desert, put an end to the revolution, rescue thousands of people from the Baroque Works' concealed bombers, and, most importantly, beat Crocodile, one of the Shichibukai's most powerful warriors

Bloom In The Winter, Miracle Sakura (2008)
This film is a continuation of the Drum Island arc. Drum Island wasn't supposed to be a very fascinating arc, yet it is.
It's not as exciting as a One Piece arc should be, but it's never dull. There isn't a single arc in One Piece that doesn't entail the crew accepting a new member. Because this film stars Frankie, Robin, and Thousand Sunny, it may be a little confusing.

Film Gold (2016)
Getting into the true jewels of this list, Film Gold was the first of the series to receive a U.S. theatrical release, and it was a big element of One Piece's (and even Funimation's) rebirth and growth in the West.
The Straw Hats are pitted against Gild Tesoro, a world-famous casino magnate who has duped the Straw Hats, among others, into being in his debt while Tesoro creates an empire of wealth, luxury, and slaves.
This film has it all: adventure, humor, quirky villains, huge battles, tie-ins to some of the series' fundamental ideas and problems, and a slew of cameos (keep your eyes peeled.) Some are simple to overlook.

One Piece Film: Z (2012)
This is, without a doubt, the greatest One Piece anime film ever made. I'm simply envious of everyone who was able to see this on the big screen.
The animation is fantastic; there was a lot of CGIs, but they all looked fantastic. The soundtrack is amazing. Every character got their time to shine, and you will not be bored for a second while watching this.

One Piece Film: Strong World (2009)
This is when the One Piece films began to take on a life of their own and become true masterpieces. Prior to them, the movies were lighthearted and generic, but these films upped the standard by a factor of a hundred.
This film was very well-received by its audience. Shiki, the "Golden Lion," has launched a global rampage, bringing his floating island and its hungry animals across the oceans to wreak havoc on the East Blue.
The Straw Hats invade the island, exploring its beautiful and harsh landscapes, coming into conflict with the island's monsters, and learning about the island's unique history and that of one of Gold Roger's most infamous rivals, Shiki himself, to prevent him from destroying the homes of the majority of the crew.
This film is a fantastic blend of authentic, canon world-building, emotional stakes, and the unique style and action that only the Straw Hats can provide.
And it did not disappoint. It's one of the greatest animated films you'll ever see, and the conclusion is breathtaking. You will adore this film since it contains so many jaw-dropping moments.

Stampede (2019)
The series' fourteenth feature was not just a box financial triumph but a huge celebration for One Piece fans worldwide, and it was the most recent inclusion on this list (by only days for Western theater screenings).
The 20th Anniversary piece sets the tone, as it attempts to include not just a slew of historical Straw Hat allusions, but also an encyclopedia's worth of cameos.
