Stand by Me Doraemon (2014) Online

Time traveling probably still remains as one of man's greatest dreams. Though impossible to achieve in reality, we always remember that there's Doraemon and his gadgets that can help realize those possibilities. Doraemon, the robot cat from the future, has traveled back in time along with Sewashi, Nobita's (aka Da Xiong) descendant. They went back to the past to help 10 year old Nobita fix the mess so his descendants need not suffer the consequences. Sewashi leaves Doraemon behind, installing a program in him that disallows him from going back to the future till Nobita attains happiness.

As you might already know, Nobita is known for his cowardice and wimpy behavior. Once he realized how powerful Doraemon's gadgets can be, he simply relies on them and attempts at making the game change. However, as you might expect, the gadgets have limitations. Ultimately, it depends on one's will and resolve that can truly break through the circumstances. Nobita fails and try again, growing out of his wimpy self and eventually overcomes the challenges.

Stand by Me has a very simple, engaging and easy-to-follow story. There's nothing too drastic or dramatic to expect, which could disappoint some who are looking for something stimulating. The entire story also has a hint of nostalgia. It's easy to identify with the young Nobita, since virtually everyone goes through that 'rite of passage' – of growing up. The character development of Nobita though not multifaceted, has enough depth and gives a good support to the narrative.

Visually wise, the 3D animated Doraemon might require some getting used to since it is not that 2D one which we are familiar to watching on TV. (Don't we all have some fond childhood memories of catching Doraemon on our local channel on weekend mornings?) Yet, this has got to be the cutest and most adorable Doraemon to date. With his vivid expressions, it's impossible not to like!

The entire 3D environment was also a masterwork. Not only were they very realistic, even the sound effects and background chatter were worked down to great details. Further, you really have to give it to the Japanese for having such great voice actors. They probably have the world's best, and thanks to them, the entire movie was truly 'animated'.

Overall, Stand by Me is one entertaining film that's surprisingly touching as well. This has to be the blockbuster of the Doraemon movies released thus far. Subtly but surely, Stand by Me gives you and me a stark reminder that 'your life is the sum of your choices'.

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.

I'm sorry but for a long time Doraemon fan this doesn't surprise me. Delight, yes, because it wraps up the story very nicely. But every single point in the movie you can find scattered all over the comic book, the movie was just collecting the bits from the comic book and bundle it into one and make a nice graphic for it. But it's really NOT anything new. It's a story all of us has already known before. I rated it 6/10 not because I don't like the story, because everyone who loves Doraemon can't possibly NOT love the story. But I don't like the fact that they didn't give me something new which I looked forward too. Also, the way it was presented was so over-the-top. I usually felt some emotion watching any of Doraemon's adventure movie series, like Doraemon and Dinosaurs, or Doraemon in the Animal Kingdom, in Robot World, etc. Even I can feel something in the normal weekly series. But because Stand By Me is very over-the-top, I can't believe the flow of the emotion one bit. It didn't get to me. This speaks volume since I'm a super crybaby and even nowadays I can still cry watching mere commercials!

Oh by the way, I'm 31, and have been watching Doraemon since I was Nobita's age.

I frickin' LOVE Doraemon! The series is great! And this movie made me like it even more.

The movie is a 3D CG redo of the Doraemon 1 to I guess...4? There are some slight changes. For example, In Doraemon book 1, Doraemon and Sewashi-kun come out of Nobita-kun's desk cabinet in the afternoon, while in Stand by Me Doraemon, Doraemon and Sewashi-kun come out of Nobita-kun's desk cabinet during the night.

In the animation, it is beautiful. The animation was done by Robot and Shin-Ei, and they did amazingly well. I mean, it almost looks like I am watching a Disney movie or something!!

This may be the most heart warming movie of 2014, just like another movie, Big Hero 6. There are many moments in the movie which made me almost cry.

If you want to watch a heart-warming film, track this movie down or watch a small version on YouTube. There is also the bad Hindi dub of the movie.

Nice to see Doraemon again on big screen. That's a new image on 3D environment, slightly different from that on 2D effect.

The storyline is simple, not too drastic or dramatic. But the good news it involved is Daxiong marries Jingxiang in the 22nd century. That is what we hope to see.

As a warm-hearting story, Doraemon stands for my childhood and is a child player in memory. When I arrived at home after class, the first thing was to open TV to watch Doraemon cartoon. I was totally fascinated by his amazing gadgets and secret magic-power because he can help Daxiong solve any problems. I was dreaming that's the most sweet thing if Doraemon is mine.

This story has gone through 80 years and keeps going. But Doraemon is still young, vivid and enjoyable.

I had zero expectations watching this movie but this character, Noby, had no redeeming qualities whatsoever, even Doraemon said so himself.

This is not a story of an underdog getting what he deserves, this is a tale of a loser who can't do anything himself and cheats to get what he doesn't deserve.

The plot makes zero sense whatsoever. His future great great grandson comes from the future to stop Noby from marrying the fat girl. Wait, wouldn't that mean the kid wouldn't exist?

Noby doesn't stop crying and his character is so over the top and he never grows up yet still gets the girl.

Unless you're an obsessed japanaphile then ignore this garbage.

We all know that Doreamon is one of our first anime that we ever saw as a kid. I watch all the episode and it reflects on every episode that has been air on the show. The movie gives us meaning through our lives, it taught us it is by our hands that we can change and mold our own destiny. I love the sad moments in this movie it because reflect on your daily lives. the movie actually reflect on everyone's life, from getting bullied or failing on a test or getting a hug from the girl you like or even getting marriage. This movie is really a emotional roller coaster and it is a reminder of what it would be like to be that kid who fail in school, loved but rejected and bullied in school. The graphic is amazing, it is better than the original picture doraemon shows from (1975 - 1999). To not spoil the movie too much you need to watch it, I can guarantee you will be crying for joy, happiness and sadness.

Well this is my perspective of the movie

I didn't watched it till end , if I'd have I'd have cried ... For all those who have watched doremon in their childhood it's pretty much emotional for them .

Stand By Me Doraemon is basically the origin story of the anime classic. This is where we see how the two main characters, Doraemon and Nobita, meet and learn the purpose of their bond until it builds into a long friendship. At this aspect, it's pretty adorable and engaging. Though most of the time it's basically just Doraemon helping out Nobita with his gadgets from the future and also sometimes use it to impress the other kids around. The first act of the film is friendly fun, but when it proceeds to its actual center, it starts out quite intriguing and compelling. There is some point in the theme that kind of misses some stronger opportunities, but when it sticks to its characters, Stand By Me Doraemon is still pretty fun.

The film opens introducing the daily life of Nobita who has been conforming in his clumsiness and mediocrity until he meets his descendant from the next four generations who traveled back to past with a robot cat named Doraemon. He sent Doraemon to help him live his better so he could alter a supposedly disappointing fate. It's clearly a tale about avoiding the consequences of continuing bad habits until the very future. It also tells about the value of doing things for yourself and not being too reliant on special gadgets or anything that makes thing inconsequentially simple. It's a nice message, though the film should have given the main character more motivations than just marrying the girl that he wants in the future. It's a cute coming-of-age story arc, but again, it might have been more interesting if it finds more advantages on his own improvements as a person. In fact, some parts that take place in the future doesn't look like he abandons much of his old habits. But it's all about the character, I guess. It's still a nice storyline, but it would have been much engaging if it digs more potential on that theme.

The best parts are likely the ones that made the show so likable. It's just the simple, episodic moments when Doraemon is just giving Nobi some of his gadgetry to help him amend his mistakes or just play with the other kids. It's creative, it's funny and it's filled with delight. The film does feel a little too long at its final act where it's basically just a drama of Doraemon leaving on his sight, but it does conclude into a sweeter ending. It's just kind of dragging, but I believe it's to create an atmosphere of emotions. If that's the purpose, then it can be effective. The animation sort of looks like a higher quality video game; a good looking one, much like Billy Hatcher. Though what really makes it impressive is how it resembles to an actual handwritten animation, from the silly expressions of the characters, to their world's own laws of physics. The version I saw is an English dubbed one and it's sort of okay, if you could let go of the voices in the version you grew up with.

Stand by Me Doraemon leaves enough good-natured fun and heart in end. The theme of the story also made it worth it, though I still have suggestions to it. But as a movie that tries to bring nostalgia or introduce the characters to a new audience, this movie is just warm and delightful enough to be appreciated, and even for something that seems to be a family movie, this does make the viewers think in its lessons. It's wonderful and heartwarming, it may not be quite groundbreaking, but you'll get what you'd like to see in it.

No matter if you are a dying hardcore fan of the series or a newcomer, you can all enjoy this awesome animation. Even if you are a fan of the series, knowing all the plot and what will happen, the movie still able to bring some fresh element, so that it just like you are watching this for the first time. I cried a lot during the movie, as some of the scene are pretty sad. Music couldn't be better, and CG Animation bring you a new perspective of this long run seri. This is a must watch for me. A good way to relive your childhood if you watch Doraemon when you was a child

Ever since the English dub of Stand By Me Doraemon was accidentally released online,I decided to watch this movie and what do I think of it

I absolutely LOVED it!

My favorite part about this movie is the dynamic of the titular character Doraemon and Noby. Their chemistry is so beautifully written and love how they grow as characters.

The animation in this movie is so good! Sure it's nothing like Disney,Pixar,and Dreamworks animations but it's still so good!

The humor in this movie is on point. There's a few scenes in the movie that made laugh at loud.

The only thing I didn't like about the movie was Big G and Sneech. They are so mean to Noby and they never redeem themselves as characters.

So overall,Stand By Me Doraemon is such a fantastic movie and I wish Disney would let Bang Zoom Entertainment release this movie in theaters.It would give people the chance to be introduced to Doraemon for the first time.

To all those who missed the Doraemon Story: Watching this can make you feel like you've seen it all. I loved Doraemon as a kid but later it seemed so repeating that it lost its humor with time. "Stand By Me" totally enhances the humor and story of the original Doraemon along with fine strokes of sadness, friendship, love and showing the ultimate ending, no loose ends. All this makes for a great watching experience. I don't think I'll be haunted by the Doraemon ghost anymore for not knowing the complete story.

This movie brings me to tears no mater how many times I watch it. Doraemon fans will love this story-line if they enjoy a bit more of an emotional-romantic type connection between the characters.This was one the most emotional Doraemon movie I have ever watched, as not even episodes or let alone other Doraemon movies ( Unless you count the ending of Doraemon: Nobita and the New Steel troops- Angel Wings ) tat has made me cry constantly while watching. The 3-D Animation was a bit of a surprise and is done very well; It portrays the emotion and expression on the characters faces nicely and gives the movie a bit of a boost. It did have a mixture of stories smashed together, which I felt had a smooth transaction but could be improved slightly. The graphics were of HD quality and looked more realistic then the previous Doraemon movies.It was overall a great movie and I would highly recommend it for people wanting to try something new in anime or looking for an emotional-romantic story line as ending.

Honestly, I am not a Doraemon fan, I did not grow up watching the series. I was hooked up to the Cartoon Network and its all the shows. But this one, they never aired it, so I am not familiar with. However, I had a few glimpses while passing by when my niece watching it on the television set. She loves it and she draws it. It was an English dubbed version though, that did not excite me a much. Officially, this movie was my first encounter with this what millions of children love, Doraemon. I really, really liked it, almost loved it. Feel regret that I should have known it before the movie because it was so good like those I'd enjoyed in my childhood days.

3D anime is a new market. It is an easy production compared to 2D animation where digital 3D is an optional advantage. That does not mean the regular Anime is losing its trade, but recent Studio Ghibli's decision to halt in production makes suspicious. Look, what has 3D animation done in Hollywood, a rapid growth in last ten years shrunk the 2D animations. The last film I remember I saw was 'The Princess and the Frog'. On one side, I am delighted because we are advancing, but in another it is very sad that Cartoons are losing its honour. The bright side is, all those flat characters we loved in our days are reshaping in the 3D avatar. The great successful example is the latest 'Asterix and Obelix' movie. 'Popeye' and many other films are too in the line, so something to cheer!

First of all I did not know Doraemon is a science-fiction, in fact, I thought Doraemon is some kind of talking toy, like in the movie 'Ted'. Fans, don't mind, I am just a beginner, but quickly learning. The only criticism I heard so far from the Doraemon fans was that the story was not new, they have already seen it in the anime short version. This film was not a follow-up to any earlier films are TV series. It was a fresh beginning like from the scratch that really helped me to understand and would do same for anyone who are unfamiliar with this. It was based on the six Doraemon manga short stories. You would easily find splits between those parts while changing the phases, but overall, a fine assembles.

Unlike television series, this Japanese Academy Award winner for Animated movie is for all. That mean adults as well can enjoy it besides the kids. There are many special things about the movie. Obviously it is very humorous, but unexpectedly so romantic and emotional with the matured materials used to tell the tale, even for the kids it is something to learn from. I loved many individual scenes, because those were not just beautiful and funny, but very clever indeed. Especially the end twist makes 'what the heck!', yet simple charmingly smart. Instantly I became the Doraemon fan, and now I want a sequel.

"It's hard saying goodbye. But... It's harder thinking that I'll be making her unhappy."

The character Nobita was just like the one from 'CJ7' who is obsessed with his new beneficial friend. Because he is not good at anything, sometimes he begins well, but ends it in a disaster, so he always depended on the gadgets from his beloved robot cat. Besides, he's lazy and always get bullied by his classmates Gian and Suneo. But he do has a crush on a girl called Shizuka, a brainy student Hidetoshi stands between him and her. Now he has a competitor and to win her heart, which as well helps to fix his future, whatsoever he must work hard. Those efforts are pleasantly illustrated in the movie.

I liked all the 3D converted characters, especially Shizuka was so cute. Doraemon looked little bigger and like a giant blue ball, in a nice, funny, acceptable way. The same energy was maintained from the anime, like the law of gravity is not applicable. Such as in situations when someone jumps in the air, he stays there for a while when he/she was in joy or shocked and tears drip sidewards. That's the difference between 2D and 3D animations, but it worked well in this film. After all, that's why the animations are for, making impossible to possible. Animals can talk and they can be our (generally children) hero. I enjoyed it as much any kid does. This movie is a revolution in Doraemon's history, an opportunity to get in to meet these adorable characters in the beginning itself if you're alien to this. I know Doraemon fans love it, hope others as well do the same.

7.5/10

Maybe some of Doraemon lovers know about this.When part Nobita to the future , I realized that I had read the story in the comic Doraemon. But not all parts. Just from Nobita went to the future to Shizuka and her father moment. I was fascinated by the story of this film . From the initial meeting with Doraemon up to its extension. The plot is not confusing .

3D animation is very good. Tha characters are funny and bring the atmosphere .

This film also made me cry.

Well, I'm so bad to tell my opinion in writing. But I'm enjoy this film.

Maybe good for young children. The slapstickiness was too much.
