Japan's iconic robot cat Doraemon goes 3D in his next feature film, which will be released next summer! Entitled "Stand By Me Doraemon", the film will feature combined CGI with stereoscopic 3D projection.
Takashi Yamazaki (Space Battleship Yamato) and Ryûichi Yagi (Moyashimon 3D CG director) are helming the said project after collaborating on Japan's first feature-length 3D CG anime film, Friends: Mononoke Shima no Naki.
The planning for the film began 3 years ago after the completion of Friends: Mononoke Shima no Naki. Yamazaki said that he film lets you experience in 3D what it would be like to get your hands on Doraemon's gadgets and do whatever you like. Yagi added that the flying scenes with Doraemon's signature Take-Copter are a must-see.
Character modelling took over a year and the staff strived for realism in movement and expressions. Unlike the usual animation process in Japan, the dialogue was first recorded then the staff produced the CG animation to match the voices. Lastly, the film employed the use of miniatures and filmed real objects for the backgrounds.
