Doraemon: Nobita and the Robot Kingdom

2002

Nobita, Doraemon, and the rest travel to the far future, on an inhabited planet where humans and robots coexist. The Empress of the Robot Kingdom is plotting to strip the robot inhabitants of their emotions, so it's up to Nobita and his friends to stop the plan, while also helping a robot boy named Poko from getting caught in the middle.

Ages 7+Source checked

Why this age? Animated fantasy conflict, danger, pursuit, and the threat of removing robots’ emotions may be intense for preschoolers, while the family-adventure framing suits most children around seven and up. This is guidance, not a safety guarantee; reading level and family context may differ.
