Now, the robot is making its way back to cinemas in CG in Stand By Me Doraemon 2, the second Doraemon film (after Doraemon: Nobita’s New Dinosaur, a sequel to the first Doraemon film from 1980) to release in 2020 for the franchise’s 50th anniversary.
Doraemon, the blue robot cultural icon of Japan, first made its leap to CG in the highly acclaimed 2014 film Stand By Me Doraemon, which was a box office smash, and the highest-grossing Doraemon film to date.
Stand By Me Doraemon 2 will be co-produced by Shirogumi, Robot Communications, Shin-Ei Animation alongside Fujiko Productions and Office Abe Shuji.
