Dorami-chan Arara Shounen Sanzokudan!

Aired: 1991

The second Dorami-chan theatrical short, derived from Fujiko F. Fujio's manga and shown alongside Doraemon: Nobita's Arabian Nights as part of the 1991 spring vacation Toei lineup. Doraemon's younger sister Dorami leads a swift adventure when a band of children stumble into a Sengoku-era mountain bandit group, with Dorami's signature gadget-savvy and cheerful resourcefulness saving the day. The film's brisk, action-comedy mood gives it a playful flavor distinct from the main Doraemon features, and Dorami's reliable big-sister charm pairs nicely with the rambunctious antics of her unintended companions, making it a fondly remembered family short.
