However, I wasn’t really sold into the plot. This film is still in the direction of director Takashi Yamazaki who also direct the previous film and made it into the box office.

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. In context to story, Stand by Me Doraemon 2 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). 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. 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. To say the least, the 3D animation is quite on par with Pixar or DreamWorks movies. There’re issues with narrative but there’s also roller-coaster ride of emotions along the way.įirst off, I kind of want to talk about the visual first, the 3D animation was highly impressive as ever. But my advice to anyone who still wants to watch the films watch it till the end. 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. User Review : 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.
