Interesting facts

  • Based on: Doraemon: Nobita's Little Star Wars

Doraemon: Nobita's Little Star Wars 2021 is a 2022 Japanese animated epic space opera film. It is the 41st Doraemon film and serves as a remake of the 1985 film Doraemon: Nobita's Little Star Wars.

Production

Kazuaki Imai, who directed the previous Doraemon feature film Nobita's New Dinosaur, was replaced by Susumu Yamaguchi. Yamaguchi stated, "I used to participate only in drawing, but it was over. However, I thought, I want to make a Doraemon film before I die.

Dai Satō wrote the screenplay of the film, who has worked on many works including the science fiction anime series Cowboy Bebop. Yamaguchi said that he was glad with the screenplay.

Koichi Maruyama was selected from the TV series for character design, and Junya Ishigaki was in charge of mechanical design.

Sato had written his own plot to make the remake compatible to the 2020s age. After that, it had turned out that director Susumu Yamaguchi had also written a plot based on similar changes. Therefore, the two decided to pursue the character of Papi, the guest character of this work.

For characters other than Papi, a deep digging of the character was done. For example, in the case of Suneo, he was portrayed as a representative of the majority of people who want to be brave enough to do heroic things, but they only keep things to themselves. Also, in the original work, Suneo showed a war-weary attitude which remained in the remake, but scenes were increased where Suneo was reluctant to fight.
