Hong Kong film distributor Neofilms began streaming a trailer on Saturday for its screening of Shin Jigen! Crayon Shin-chan The Movie Chōnōryoku Dai Kessen: Tobetobe Temakizushi (New Dimension! Crayon Shin-chan the Movie Super-Powered Climactic Battle: Soaring Hand-Rolled Sushi), the Crayon Shin-chan franchise's first 3DCG anime film. The trailer revealed the film's August 10 opening in Hong Kong.
The film's story shows kindergartener Shinnosuke gaining telekinetic superpowers after a white light from space passes through Earth. A counterpart black light gives a man named Mitsuru Hiriya psychic powers of his own, which he uses to try and destroy the Earth. While Japan is gripped by fear, Shinnosuke stands up as its new hero.
The film will be the 31st in the Crayon Shin-chan franchise, and it took seven years to make from the planning stages. Hitoshi Ōne (Fireworks, Should We See it from the Side or the Bottom? screenplay; director for live-action Akihabara @ DEEP, Bakuman. adaptations) is both directing the film and writing the screenplay. Shirogumi Inc. is animating the film.
The 30th film in the franchise, Eiga Crayon Shin-chan Mononoke Ninja Chinpūden, opened in Japan in April 2022 and debuted at #2 in its first weekend.
