Production

The short film features significant additions and deviations from the original manga chapters, most notably that Shizuka, Dorami, and Nobita’s grandmother, characters who weren't featured in the original stories, were added in to play major roles.

Doraemon Comes Back is the first out of five in a series of Doraemon short films directed by Ayumu Watanabe that released from 1998 to 2002.

The "Doraemon Moving Series", consisting of this work, Nobita's the Night Before a Wedding, A Grandmother's Recollections, Ganbare! Gian!!, and The Day When I Was Born, were all made by people who wanted to carry on the spirit and legacy of Doraemon series creator Fujiko F. Fujio after he died in 1996 by selecting to adapt stories from the manga.

Ayumu Watanabe, director of Doraemon Comes Back, would go on to serve as director of the twenty-sixth Doraemon feature film, Doraemon: Nobita's Dinosaur 2006, a remake of the first Doraemon feature film Doraemon: Nobita's Dinosaur.
