While there were only three movies inspired by the original Dragon Ball series, there were also two educational public service shorts featuring Goku and his friends.
A couple of elements (Such as Goku and company working as firefighters instead of being martial artists, or Bulma living in an ordinary apartment instead of her fancy futuristic house from the main series) makes me think this is either some sort of alternate continuity, or something staged in-universe.
The imdb trivia says this short takes place in 80s Japan instead of the fantasy world from Dragon Ball, so maybe it's the former.
I mean, I could simply dismiss this as something "non-canonical" and ignore it completely, but I personally think the short was cute.
I personally like this responsible, "wholesome" version of Goku, even if Toriyama himself wasn't particularly fond of it.
I honestly prefer firefighter Goku over the his Peter Griffin-esque version from Dragon Ball Super.
