Netflix Lists Stand By Me Doraemon 2 CG Anime Film for Release in India on December 24

Netflix is listing the Stand By Me Doraemon 2 CG anime film for release in India on December 24. The company is streaming a trailer for the film with an English dub.

Netflix describes the film:

Nobita travels to the future to show his beloved grandma his bride, but adult Nobita has fled his own wedding. Can he ever be a good husband to Shizuka?

The film opened in Japan in November 2020. The film was originally slated to open in Japan in August 2020 until it was delayed due to the new coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

Satoshi Tsumabuki returned as the adult Nobita, while Nobuko Miyamoto voiced Nobita's grandmother. Franchise regulars Wasabi Mizuta, Megumi Oohara, Yumi Kakazu, Subaru Kimura, and Tomokazu Seki returned as Doraemon, Nobita (child), Shizuka, Gian, and Suneo, respectively.

The film's story is largely based on the franchise's 2000 film Doraemon: Obāchan no Omoide (Doraemon: A Grandmother's Recollections), but added original elements, including the love story of Shizuka and Nobita that was also present in the previous Stand By Me Doraemon film. The 2000 film, in turn, was based on a chapter from the fourth manga volume.

Ryūichi Yagi and Takashi Yamazaki returned from the first film as directors, and Yamazaki once again penned the script. Masaki Suda performed the film's theme song "Niji" (Rainbow).

The first Stand By Me Doraemon film was the first 3D CG film in the franchise, and it eventually earned 8.38 billion yen (about US$77.16 million) in Japan and over 10 billion yen (about US$90 million) worldwide.
