Frustrated after seeing Nobita's hopeless state, Doraemon decides to go back to the future.

Can Doraemon bring Nobita happiness and return to the future?

Why It Rocks

 * 1) The CGI animation in the film is beautiful, in fact, the animation is comparable to that of The Peanuts Movie, another film based on a book, not to mention, it's also a massive upgrade to the original series, which mostly consists of 2D animation.
 * 2) It stays very faithful to the original manga and the anime it was based on the iconic short stories such as "All the Way from the Country of the Future", "Imprinting Egg", "Goodbye, Shizuka-chan", "Romance in Snowy Mountain", "Nobita's the Night Before a Wedding" and "Goodbye, Doraemon...", and combining all of them into one big film.
 * 3) The voice acting is great, especially Wazabi Misuta's performance as the titular Doraemon and Yuji Kakazu's performance as Shizuka Chan.
 * 4) * The English dub is also fantastic, especially Brian Beacock's performance as Suneo Honekawa and Johnny Yong Bosch's performance and Nobita.
 * 5) Very beautifully done soundtrack, due to being composed by Naoki Satõ, the same composer for the first five Pretty Cure series and the same composer for Eureka Seven.
