Doraemon: Nobita's Chronicle of the Moon Exploration

2019

After being mocked for believing that rabbits live on the Moon, Nobita uses one of Doraemon’s gadgets to create a hidden lunar kingdom. Accompanied by a mysterious new classmate named Luca, Nobita and his friends travel to the Moon’s far side, where they discover children with extraordinary powers and become drawn into a dangerous conflict that reaches far beyond Earth.

Ages 8+Source checked

Why this age? Fantasy peril, captures, attacks, explosions, dangerous space travel, and a planetary threat may unsettle younger children, but violence is stylized and the story is clearly family-oriented. This is guidance, not a safety guarantee; reading level and family context may differ.
