A trailer showcasing the new look of the anime has been released.
Crayon Shin-chan is expanding into the realm of CG animation, with a new 3D film. A recently released trailer showcases the new look for the series. Titled Shin Jigen! Crayon Shin-chan The Movie Chonoryoku Dai Kessen: Tobetobe Temakizushi (New Dimension! Crayon Shin-chan the Movie Super-Powered Climactic Battle: Soaring Hand-Rolled Sushi), the film will be released in Japan on August 4, 2023 (via AnimeNewsNetwork).
The trailer showcases the CG animation that brings the world of Crayon Shin-chan to life in a whole new way. It also features the film's theme song, Future is Yours, performed by rock band Sambomaster. You can check out the trailer below:
In the film, a white light from outer space descends and takes control of Shin-chan's body, giving him some mysterious power that he hilariously wields with his signature buttock-based humour, characteristic of the series. Simultaneously, another man obtains psychic abilities after being exposed to a black light and becomes determined to destroy the world. Shirogumi, the company behind the 3D film Stand by Me Doraemon, is also involved in the production of the Shin-chan film.
This will be the 31st film in the Crayon Shin-chan franchise. According to the film's website, Tori Matsuzaka joins the cast as Mitsuru Hiriya. Mogura Suzuki takes on the role of Professor Ikebukuro, while Katamari Mizukawa, portrays Nusuttoradamus II. The latter two are part of the comedy duo Kuuki Kaidan. Lastly, Akari Kito lends her voice to the character of Negiko Shintani.
