Movie-Themed Adventure: Can Doraemon and Friends Escape?

The special episode is titled Treasure of the Sky Castle! Legend of the True Hero and takes place inside a fictional movie world.

However, an unexpected glitch pulls all four into Doraemon’s movie world, where they must locate the treasure of the Sky Castle to exit the story. As they head toward the floating fortress, unpredictable dangers await them.

Kenjiro Tsuda makes a special appearance as the narrator of the “Movie Can” gadget. Comedy duo Nishikigoi—Masaki Hasegawa and Takashi Watanabe—also appear as characters in the movie world. Their inclusion adds extra flavor to the already adventurous tone of the episode.

The Doraemon Birthday Special combines action, comedy, and heartfelt moments, promising an unforgettable experience for viewers of all ages.
