Film for "everyone who has experienced childhood" opens in Japanese theaters August 8

The official website for Stand By Me Doraemon , the first 3D CG film starring the anime robot cat Dorae mon, began streaming a new teaser trailer on Saturday. The narrator states that this is, "Dor aemon's first — and final — story." Dorae mon tells Nobita, “I can't stay here anymore.” The tagline at the end of the video reads, “To everyone who has experienced childhood.”

The film will open in Japanese theaters on August 8.

The manga creator duo Fujiko Fujio (Hiroshi Fujimoto and Motoo Abiko) created Doraemon in 1969. In the story, the robotic cat was sent by a boy in the future to the present day to help the boy's hapless grandfather, Nobita. Dor aemon, Nobita, and other children deal with everyday childhood issues, solve (and cause) problems with the gadgets in Dorae mon's fourth-dimensional pocket, and embark on escapades through time and space.
