Doraemon Movie 16: Nobita no Sousei Nikki

Great movie to watch with my kids! I would give it an 11 if it wasn't for the main character Doraemon, I did not like him and he just wouldn't shut up, but other than that im satisfied with the product. I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone over the age of 9 though because the humor is almost non existent and the plot is pretty much braindead, but I can see why a kid would enjoy it so with that mindset I was able to trick me into enjoying it. lot of funs! it won't let me upload the review unless its longer so Great movie to watch with my kids!

As a fan of the older Doraemon series that I have watched over and over as a child, this movie is one of my favorite Doraemon movies. Rewatching for the umpteenth time—this time as an adult—only solidified those feelings because WOW, they really touch on some mature elements, like religion, class structures, diplomacy, and the imperfections of human civilization. The topic of religion is especially interesting in this movie because of how the characters inside the homework kit see "God" and other deities, compared to how Nobita and his friend group see "God", with viewers knowing that Nobita is the one doing most of the "Creation" in the homework kit. These kinds of complex juxtapositions are getting harder and harder to find in kids shows/movies, but they are certainly selling points for anyone wanting a touch of maturity in a kids show. Fair warning, this is a 1995 film, so if you are used to the feel of currently airing anime, don't get too surprised if the pacing, humor, etc. isn't your cup of tea. A lot of the jokes are pretty ironic and dry, and also might need some understanding of the main characters' personalities and dynamics. Overall, this movie is one of the best Doraemon movies that manages to include several educational moments for kids as well as many philosophical moments for parents too.

My overall take: A unique Doraemon film that may not be everyone's cup of tea, but I quite like it. In this movie, Nobita and his friends create their own universe as part of a school project, learning about the history of the Earth and humanity along the way. In some ways, this may be the most unusual Doraemon movie of all, given that it largely consists of a series of vignettes with the main characters mostly observing (and occasionally interfering with) what happens. Although I probably wouldn't want every Doraemon movie to follow this format, I like what they did here, and as a paleontologist, the "history of the world" theme appeals to me. Although Nobita's friends aren't the focal characters here, it's funny to think about how they each became involved in Nobita's school project. Whereas Gian and Suneo had their own reasons to mooch off Nobita's work, Shizuka essentially ends up doing extra homework! (To be fair, if my friends had asked me to help with a school project for which I got to observe Earth history, I probably would have, too.) Other humorous details are included alongside the end credits, during which we get to see the school report that Nobita and his friends put together.
