The film’s story will largely be based on the franchise’s 2000 film Doraemon: Obāchan no Omoide, but will add original elements, including the love story of Shizuka and Nobita that was also present in the previous Stand By Me Doraemon film.
Stand By Me Doraemon 2 is a sequel to the 2014 CG anime film Stand By Me Doraemon.
The first Stand By Me Doraemon film was the first 3D CG film in the franchise, and it eventually earned 8.38 billion yen (about US$77.16 million) in Japan and over 10 billion yen worldwide (about US$90 million).
Additionally, TOHO announced on Thursday that the Stand By Me Doraemon 2 CG anime film is postponed.
