The film’s story will largely be based on the franchise’s 2000 film Doraemon: Obāchan no Omoide (Doraemon: A Grandmother’s Recollections), 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.
The official website for the Stand By Me Doraemon 2 CG anime film began streaming a new special promotional video for the film on Wednesday.
A new anime film titled Eiga Doraemon: Nobita no Little Star Wars, a remake of the 1985 film of the same name, will open in Japan on March 5, 2021.
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).
