Stand by Me Doraemon 3D Blu Ray 2014

Noby is a boy who is unlucky no matter what he does: he is constantly late for school, he is offended by school bullies, and various troubles and disasters just stick to him. One day, his great-great-grandson Soubi comes to him from the future through a time portal along with the cyber cat Doraemon. Soubi leaves him Doraemon, so that he would help him correct himself and thus correct his future for the better in the cartoon Stand by Me Doraemon 3d blu ray.

Growing up watching tons of Doraemon, I feel obliged to see this like a ritual. While the technical aspects excels incredibly, I feel the script is too sensational. Never in my life have we cried for a Doraemon episode, but this predictable story makes everyone sob.

On the whole, I cannot say I do not like it. But I cannot say I like it either. It seems it is made with a lot of sincerity and uplifting for kids who are a little insecure about themselves. But I think it is unnecessarily tear-jerking, as in the director's previous work The Eternal Zero. Just a little overly sensational. I cried a few times and I think it is the style of the director who likes to make you cry. But I think he could have achieved the same result without jerking audience's tears. But I love the surreal and realistic graphics! The street scene and small room of Japanese house make me miss Japanese life so much. The use of light, the character's hair, the clouds, even the neighborhood scene, etc, give a very warm feeling. The ride in the future is fantastic. And Doraemon's gadgets are forever magical! There is also a strong moral that we have to do things by ourselves and never give up. Perhaps it is a Japanese virtue to sacrifice oneself for others. On that point maybe the story could have added more details.

O. The theme song is lovely and I still hum it from time to time.
