Synopsis
After the Dragon Balls ressurected him, Android 17 realizes that he is now all alone, so he goes around the world, continously creating minor troubles whenever he goes, but at the same time hiding from the Z Warriors. However, the trouble he caused is enough to catch the atention of a worse enemy: Former Red Ribbon Army General Tao, who has been driven to complete insanity following his defeat at the hands of Son Goku. Wishing to know how to become an Android himself, Tao has his soldiers kidnap 17, but he manages to escape from Tao's ship. However, the weakened 17 ends up falling to an island, where he is saved by the living fauna from being caught by Tao's army. In the island, 17 meets an old friend from his childhood: Yūjō, a minotaur. Yūjō is glad to see her childhood friend, but 17 isn't that happy, as she ran away when they were kids. However, Tao is hunting both 17 and the island's fauna, who all share an valuable special trait, forcing 17 to put his grudge against Yūjō and work with her in order to save the island and themselves.

Cast

 * Andrew Garfield as Lapis/Android 17, an Android genetically altered by former Red Ribbon Army scientis Dr. Gero, who reunites with childhood friend Yūjō while being hunted by General Tao. Garfield would say that the film "gives a lot of depth to the character, and reveals the source of his trouble-making personality", comparing the character to Jim Hawkins from Treasure Planet (2002).
 * Wilson Bethel as Tao: A former general in the Red Ribbon Army, who has been driven to insanity following his defeat at the hands of Son Goku, and hunts down 17 and an island with unique species and abilities in order to gain more power. Bethel would say that the character "got a lot worse after what happened in Tao. He is 100000% more insane and more dangerous than in that film. He's completly crazy. He's crazy enough that he believes Goku is aware of his survival and is just pretending to be dead so he can be more powerful and kill him. So he tries to get powers from a soucre outside of himself to be more powerful than Goku, which is why he gets 17 in troubles".

Voice cast

 * Simone Missick as Yūjō, a "minotaur" (a dinosaur-bull hybrid) and a childhood friend of 17's, who both is happy to see her friend once again and feels guilty of leaving him as a kid. Missck would say that "her arc is less about 17 forgiving her and more about forgiving herself.
 * Karen Pittman as Roiyariti, a dinosaur and Yūjō's girlfriend, who tries to help Yūjō come to terms with leaving 17. Pittman would describe the character as "somebody who, having grown all of her life in the jungle, where smetimes an animal has to do things she dosen't like to do i order to survive, tries to teach Yūjō that sometimes, doing the right thing dosen't mean doing what you like".
 * Danai Gurira as Heishi, a hyena soldier who serves Tao. Gurira would say that "she goes througth a bit of an arc througth the film, but that dosen't end here".
 * Josh Gad as Teeths, a sabertooth tiger and a soldier of Tao's, who is constantly abused by him. Gad would say that "while he at times serves as a comic relief character, he's also a lot more like an abused child".
