I was planning to watch this movie on theatre somewhere in February but somehow, I didn’t manage to, as someone who grew up with the franchise and also someone who likes the first film, I was really interested to see this movie. After watching it, I think the movie was decent as a continuation of the first film but there’s something lacking that makes it better or even on par with its predecessor. But my advice to anyone who still wants to watch the films; watch it till the end. There’re issues with narrative but there’s also roller-coaster ride of emotions along the way.

First off, I kind of want to talk about the visual first, the 3D animation was highly impressive as ever. To say the least, the 3D animation is quite on par with Pixar or DreamWorks movies. The backgrounds are pretty detailed, especially the city landscape (Both future and present city landscape) and the level of detail during time machines sequences was pretty much sublime. If there are hiccups, I’d say some of the characters looks pretty awkward and just didn’t fit to be interpreted in CG, but that said it just tastes come into play while I think visually it was very good overall.

In context to story, Stand by Me Doraemon is the re-adaptation of the two previous short film, namely Doraemon: A Grandmother's Recollections (2000) and Doraemon The Day When I Was Born (2002). Both adaptations were mixed into the main story; where it shows the wedding of Nobita and Shizuka, the combination works really well together and doesn't really hurt the flow for the story in relation to the movie. This film is still in the direction of director Takashi Yamazaki who also direct the previous film and made it into the box office.

However, I wasn’t really sold into the plot. it’s full of the typical plot holes and paradoxes that always crop up when people attempt to employ time-traveling shenanigans. There are cringes moment that you’d expect in this kind of these kiddy movies. Ultimately this is a kid films that push a lot of power fantasy and probably intended to be something wholesome or invoking emotions for the long-time fans rather than providing a good storyline for general audiences. Indeed, it’s got a whole lot wholesome and emotional moments such as Parent’s Love or Reminiscing of the loved on that already passed away. Also, in this movie, there’s shown a little bit of the circle of life, we get to see Nobita in every age; from the day he was born, became a toddler, to the present day when he’s a kid and ultimately his future self where he finally gets married. I will be lying If I said I didn’t feel anything about those emotional moment because it was the highlight of the movie for me.

Having said that, the pacing is also somewhat an issue. This film is about 90 minutes long but at best the movie has enough meaningful content for an hour, a lot of conflicts were quite dragged and somewhat forced to the point the resolutions had to be forced as well in order to conclude the story. The comedy is repetitive and the characters besides Nobita and Doraemon had no value whatsoever unless you know the others characters beforehand.

I think the music is suits the time period very well and knows how to suit the atmosphere but at the same time quite forgettable as well, the most memorable soundtrack is probably the ED song but even then, it wasn’t really something that I personally will treasure for. The voice acting was on point and they definitely bringing a lot of breadth to the characters.

As a continuation for the first stand by me film, this movie was a decent continuation that brought a consistent playful tone and a definitive conclusion for the story, however I’m not terribly impressed with the film as a whole. While it does have some fun moments, there’s just too many uninspired elements and predictable formula for me to really recommend Stand by Me Doraemon 2 to anyone who isn’t a die-hard doraemon fan or someone who just wants to see the conclusion of the film

This doraemon movie in my opinion is the best movie ever! It makes me nostalgic when I was child and through this movie we know everything, including about Nobita's future, Nobita's past, Nobita's grandmother, and Nobita's birth on earth. It is a bit of a paradox but I really didn't expect this to touch my feelings, really epic. U guys should watch this!!!

Story 10/10 :
Because the story unravels a whole that we don't know as I told you above.

Art 10/10 :
Of course because of 3D, I saw from their willingness to make this art. Starting from the character that moves even though it's not the read more

I love this movie so much, fairly because of two reasons. But first, let's get the aspects out of the way...

Story: 6/10
Despite how biased my score is to the sequel of Stand by Me Doraemon, I can still say that the story is a big mess stitched together just to conclude, if you're asking a similar example to this movie, it would be any Pixar films that were released in the 2010s. It would be Inside Out, Coco, The Good Dinosaur, it felt like that. It had some good moments, but really no one is going to remember a lot of those things because the read more
