With the announcement of the first new "Dragon Ball" television series in 18 years, fans are undoubtedly feeling a bit nostalgic. If you're one of them, there may be no better -- or faster -- trip down memory lane than this lovely animated tribute to Akira Toriyama’s creation.

Produced by Arnaud Labbé, Thomas Lebascle, Daniel Savy and Sophie Schweitzer of Collectif Plissken, the three-minute "Journey Through Dragon Ball" is exactly what the title suggests: a quirky, fast-paced survey of three decades' worth of story arc. The Daily Dot refers to it as "whimsical," and I can't think of a better word to describe it.

Clearly a labor of love, the video ends with a touching dedication thanking Toriyama for giving "us this fantastic universe that has been rocking our childhood and continues ever since."
