Introduction
Adult people all over Japan had been captivated by 20th Century Expo, theme parks that reenacted good old days of the 1970s (the last days of Japan's high economic growth). One day the adults disappeared into the theme parks, leaving their children abandoned. That was a plot by "Yesterday Once More," an organization who despises the 21st century and tries to bring Japan back to the 20th century with the dreams and hopes. Shinnosuke and his parents, Hiroshi and Misae, fight against the plot of "Yesterday Once More" in order to live together with family in the 21st century.

This is my first film in this franchise. I was surprised by such high ratings and decided to form my own opinion. At first I thought I couldn't bear to watch it. I'm a big fan of anime and Japanese movies, but even I was shocked by what was happening on the screen. It was especially difficult to get used to the animation of the characters. But still I overcame myself and was not disappointed. The plot tells us about an evil genius who is nostalgic for the past, sprays gas that turns adults into children. Now the children have to take care of themselves, try on the guise of adults, save their parents and the whole world. Sound really cool? Is it true? And so it is. The plot is full of deep philosophical thoughts and, at the same time, full of high-quality and really funny humor! I look forw…

This is not only a masterpiece of Shin-chan series but also the masterpiece in my anime list just because of the several-minute silent-part in this movie.
The direction of the silent part ended by Hiroshi's sigh was really emotional. I watched this over 10 times because I wanted to compare other movies/animes with this. Always, these several minutes make me cry. No one dies but I cried! If someone's death is allowed, the direction of TV series "a place further than the universe" is better than this.
I think this is a farewell for our past. Our past is "dead" because we never get this back. Then, I cried. At the same time, our past is able to be "living" because this moment of one's life is based on that. Then, I cried, for Hiroshi's past and my past.
Except for this part, this is one of…

May have some spoilers.
This movie is a masterpiece, the reason to that is because the movie not only is enjoyable for children but is also for grown adults. The fact that it can grab a variety of different range of aged audience is what really makes this movie a fine work of art.
When I first watched this movie as a kid, I didn't realize how deep the story was and what it was trying to tell the audience. It was enjoyable, a good amount of action, the same characters with their same personality portraying their personalities in order to make everything return back to normal again in the end.
However, when I watched this movie again out of nostalgia after I became an adult, it was enough for me to shed tears. The reason is because this movie did incredibly well in trying to make their au…

It certainly is an epiphany when you find out that the crudely dubbed show you used to watch on television (Shin-chan has been airing in India for quite a few years now, in Hindi) and which, apparently, is exclusively aimed at kids, is much deeper and inspiring than it appears. I can't speak for the other movies in this franchise, but this one certainly was.
The basic plot element, in one word, would be 'nostalgia.' Keeping spoilers to the minimum, the movie is about the circumstances that'd arise if adults were suddenly provided with the golden age of their childhood, the period they were brought up in, cheerful and gloomy moments alike, and the opportunity to live in it forever; and how our main cast struggles their way through it to earn their anticipated outcome.
Despite the seriousnes…

There is no greater love in this world than the love of your family.
I'm not exactly going to review this anime. Let me just say two things, and I'll list out some quotes from the movie, and I'll be done.
First, this movie made me realize that crayon shin-chan isn't just for kids.
Second, some animes in the world may have mediocre story, mediocre art, mediocre sound, but may deserve no less than a 10/10.
These are quotes by Nohara Hiroshi. "Those who believe they have gotten big have no right to be big."
"The antonym for justice isn't evil, but another justice."
"My life isn't not interesting! I almost want to share the happiness of having a family!"
"Like I'd have any regrets on a world without Shinnosuke!"
"We aren't heroes who save the world. We are fathers who want future for t…

Shinnosuke is still the same ol' perverted kid in this movie.
The story begins of nice, Shinnosuke and his family star in this action movie where his Dad plays a parody superhero. (Parody of Ultraman.). After this it just continues normally, everyone we basically know from the normal series is at the World Fair's 20th Century Museum, where all the parents try to relieve they're childhood. As they are about to enter the 21st century, a certain evildoer hypnotizes adults via tv, thr...ough a 20th Century Museum commercial, this turns the adults in childs, not psysically, but mentally.
This shows that Shinnosuke can be very mature, and yet.. not.
So the story's pretty plain, but the way it is shown in this movie it's just great.
They still use the same weird art style, which is just neede…
