Doraemon: Nobita in the Wan-Nyan Spacetime Odyssey

2004

Nobita, believing he and Doraemon had done a good deed by saving stray cats and dogs and sending them back in time by 300 million years, discover that the usage of Doraemon's Ray of Evolution had created a cat-and-dog-person society equal to Nobita's time. When an asteroid attack is set to hit the city, Nobita and his friends must save Doraemon and ease tensions between the two sides.

Ages 8+Source checked

Why this age? Frequent fantasy peril includes imprisonment, threats to kill, underwater danger, animal abandonment, an asteroid impact, destruction of a city, and emotionally intense farewells, though violence is non-graphic and the ending is hopeful. This is guidance, not a safety guarantee; reading level and family context may differ.
