Synopsis

Nobita is trying to prove that the Monkey King exists so they went back to the time Sanzo began his pilgrimage. Doraemon used a virtual video game console and let Nobita play "Journey to The West" to give Nobita clothes that the Monkey King wears. Nobita messed up on prooving Monkey king exists. When Nobita and his friends played "Journey to The West" and they finished the game without fighting any demons. Later, they found out thier world is ruled by demons. The problem is that Doraemon left the game console open in the past without closing it and demons started to appear to invade the world. Doraemon and the others now have to go back into the past to vanquish the demons.

Mixed Feelings

My overall take: An entertaining premise that has its moments, but doesn't quite reach its full potential.

In this movie, Nobita and his friends re-enact the 16th Century Chinese novel Journey to the West. The idea of the Doraemon cast role-playing as Journey to the West protagonists and using Doraemon's gadgets to replicate the events of the story is fun, and once the main characters settle into their roles, this film is not a bad time. I'll even forgive the fact that the main thing Shizuka does is get kidnapped by monsters, given that she's playing the part of Tang Sanzang and that's essentially his shtick ...
