In the film “Doraemon the Movie: Nobita’s Picture World Story,” which commemorates the 45th anniversary of the series, Doraemon and his friends dive into the “world of paintings” and embark on a great adventure set in the magnificent medieval European world depicted in paintings. A completely original story is depicted in which Doraemon and Nobita and his friends, along with the friends they meet in the paintings, face off against powerful enemies in search of the phantom jewel.
The director of this film is Yukiyo Teramoto, who directed the TV anime “Doraemon” and became the first female director of the series with “Doraemon the Movie: Nobita’s New Great Adventure into the Underworld – The Seven Magicians” in 2007. This is the fourth film in the “Doraemon the Movie” series. And it is the screenwriter for the first time, Kimihisa Ito, who has written many screenplays for the TV anime “Doraemon”.

Using Doraemon’s secret gadget, the “Crawl Light,” he jumps into the world inside the picture, and finds himself in the magnificent medieval European world of the Principality of Arturia… That’s the plot.
What kind of adventure awaits Doraemon and his friends? And what secrets are hidden in this world? Anticipation is building for the encounter with new friends and the thrilling, epic story.
