Sailor Moon R: The Promise of the Rose (劇場版 美少女戦士セーラームーンR, Gekijōban Bishōjo Senshi Sērā Mūn R) is the first movie in the anime series Sailor Moon. The film originally debuted in Japanese theaters on December 5, 1993.

Synopsis

Fiore, an old friend from Mamoru's lonely childhood who couldn't survive on Earth, returns with flowers he promised Mamoru. But, the evil flower Kisenian overpowered Fiore's weak mind and manipulated him into spreading Kisenian's seeds over Earth in an effort to drain energy from everyone on Earth. Kisenian manages to do this because he's deceived Fiore using Fiore's long-lost friendship with Mamoru. It is up to Sailor Moon and the Sailor Senshi to stop Kisenian.


Dubbing History[]

The films were originally dubbed for Pioneer Entertainment, by Optimum Productions, using the cast originally used for DiC Entertainment's dub of Seasons 1-2. In a stark contrast to DiC's dub, the films were dubbed uncut, and with the original soundtrack. Pioneer similarly commissioned uncut dubs of the first 3 Dragon Ball Z films. Edited versions were edited alongside, using the original DiC music from the series, which were seen on VHS and television. The dubs were later released on uncut bilingual DVD from February 8, 2000 to August 15, 2000.

The films would later be redubbed by Viz Media, using their cast, and featured the original shorts that preceded the films. Sailor Moon R: The Movie was released in American theaters on January 13, 2017, and released on Blu-Ray and DVD on April 18, 2017. The other two films were released on July 30, 2018 and August 4, 2018.[1]
