About Doraemon: The Record of Nobita's Parallel Journey to the West
As Nobita, Shizuka, Gian, and Suneo are auditioning for a role in their school's play based on "Journey to the West", the coveted role of Son Goku is hotly contested. After suggesting that the real Great Sage Equal to Heaven should play himself, knowing that the story is only a legend, Nobita and Doraemon go back in time to find their own fake Monkey King, but arrive in present day with the story's demons having taken over the world. The only way for things to go back to normal is for Nobita and pals to reenact the tale...for real!
Directed by Tsutomu Shibayama, Doraemon: The Record of Nobita's Parallel Journey to the West leans on a strong ensemble — Nobuyo Oyama, Noriko Ohara, Michiko Nomura — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about animation titles of 1988.
