Doraemon: Nobita and the Robot Kingdom

The narrative moves from the immediate present on Earth to a distant world governed by robot politics. It explores past and present events, including the Remodelling Order that strips robots of emotions and the rebellion led by Dester. The timeline weaves through the discovery of Maria, the origin of Poko, and the eventual repair of a time machine to bridge worlds.

The story starts in a bustling present-day city on Earth where Nobita and friends dream of futuristic pets. A border to a distant world opens when a child robot slips through a portal, introducing a second setting—the Robot Kingdom—where humans and robots once lived in harmony. The journey traverses across worlds, revealing a planet with a history of emotion and conflict between rulers and rebels.

🤝 Friendship

Friendship anchors the story as Nobita and his friends team up with Doraemon to protect the rogue robot child. The group coordinates daring rescues, supports allies across worlds, and learns that loyalty can cross species and systems. Shared risk strengthens bonds and motivates collective action against oppression.

🤖 Emotions

A central tension is whether machines should have emotions. The Robot Remodelling Order targets robot feelings, while Maria remains unremodeled, underscoring how empathy drives choices. The film uses Poko’s longing for healing and connection to argue that emotions are essential to humanity and to rightful autonomy.

🗺️ Freedom

The narrative follows a fight against an authoritarian decree that tries to erase emotion from robots. The Rainbow Valley sequence symbolizes hope and coexistence, while the rebellion mobilizes to repeal the remodelling order. Autonomy and resistance are framed as necessary for peace across worlds.
