Doraemon: Nobita and the Three Visionary Swordsmen

Aired: 1994

A Doraemon feature film in the long-form manga series by Fujiko F. Fujio, directed by Tsutomu Shibayama and produced by Shin-Ei Animation. Nobita uses Doraemon's Free-Dreaming Machine to enter the dream kingdom of Yumirume, where as the silver swordsman Nobitanyan he must confront the evil emperor Odorom. The film weaves a distinctive double-structure tale across reality and dream, testing Nobita's bonds with Shizuka and his friends, and remains remembered as a singular entry in the long-running theatrical series for its fantasy world of swords and magic tinged with bittersweet wonder.
