Doraemon: Nobita and the New Steel Troops: Winged Angels

Nobita finds a piece of a giant robot in the lake behind the house. With Doraemon he gathers the parts and they assemble it. The robot is called Zanda Claus. Then a girl appears; her name is Riruru and she has come looking for the robot. Where she comes from is another planet with a mechanical army on it, and the plan is to take the Earth. Riruru's task is reconnaissance. The better she knows Nobita and his friends, the harder her task becomes. The hour of the army's arrival is set and the only way to stop it is to go into the past. Yukiyo Teramoto directs. The film is a remake of the 1986 film of the same story, based on the manga by Fujiko F. Fujio. It is a Japanese production. The narrative follows the Doraemon feature mould; the group of friends, a threat, and a solution with gadgets. The matter it treats is coming to know an enemy; Riruru is the emotional centre of the story. Some scenes were changed in the remake and the character's ending was softened, which was argued over among viewers. The film aims at a young audience but takes up war and sacrifice directly. The action is on a larger scale than in other films in the series. The narrative uses time travel as its solution and bends its own rules. The ending is emotional and is counted among the most remembered in the series. The narrative is open to newcomers; the characters are introduced from the start. Its limit is simplicity; the plot is predictable, the characters are types, and the pace flat. Who it is for: viewers of Doraemon and anyone looking for a film to watch with children. Who it is not for: it is simple, aimed at children, and the ending sad.
