Despite the film’s similarity in title to Doraemon the Movie: Nobita’s Dinosaur, the first film in the franchise, the story is completely different.
According to the film’s official website, this is the first time that a Doraemon film will have two theme songs.
The official website for the 2020 Doraemon film Eiga Doraemon: Nobita no Shin Kyoryū (Doraemon the Movie: Nobita’s New Dinosaur) announced on Wednesday that actress and comedian Naomi Watanabe will join the guest cast of the film as the character Natalie, a suspicious woman who tracks Nobita’s journey and communicates with Gil.
Kazuaki Imai, an episode director on the Doraemon television anime, and the director of 2018’s Doraemon the Movie: Nobita’s Treasure Island film, is directing the 40th film.
