Doraemon Movie 21: Nobita no Taiyou Ou Densetsu

The characters were very good and i like their personality as to different from other doraemon movie characters i have seen.

The soundtrack was so amazing overall and was probably the best soundtrack from a doraemon movie that i have seen.


The story honestly was not boring and i usually complain about the unrealistic scenes but this one was so good and totally worth it.

Although i only gave it an 8 it still great because some of the other ones were below average and rlly boring in the end and felt like they were desperately trying to drag the movie on.

Im so ... glad that Tio (who is like nobita) wasnt a non athletic dumb character. Thats one of the strong points of the movie that i love.
Its great how Tio was a kinda rude but nice person that was athletic was the "ancestor" of Nobita and proves that its not the generation that makes nobita so dumb but the fact that he just doesnt want to study.

There was a lot of comedy that I loved throughout the movie and most moments didnt feel like absolute filler.


Overall an 8 for the amazing soundtrack, plot, art, characters.
I found this movie to be a great and spectacular movie that I recommend and I rlly hope this gets remade (with the old soundtrack)

My overall take: Well-structured film with one of the best-written Doraemon movie characters.

In this movie, Nobita switches lives with a prince from a Maya-esque civilization, who somehow looks just like him. This might have been the first Doraemon movie I ever watched. I remembered it as a good one, and I'd generally still agree with that assessment. That's not to say that one can't find holes in the narrative (why does Doraemon try attacking the villains' moving statues even after he's already realized they're illusions?), but I found it a well-crafted and enjoyable story overall.

Furthermore, Prince Tio may very well have the most compelling arc ... of any movie-exclusive character in a Doraemon film. This movie also ends up being a great showcase for Nobita, with his role as a foil for Tio bringing out Nobita's best qualities as a person. That being said, Tio getting together with his handmaiden, Kuku, at the end does feel a bit forced given that she barely gets to witness his character development firsthand during the events of the story (and what she thought she saw as growth on Tio's part occurred while Nobita was posing as the prince).
