Directed by Ayumu Watanabe, the film was released theatrically in Japan on 4 March 2006. It's the 26th Doraemon film. The film got a private screening with English subtitles in Washington, D.C., on 14 November 2008, making it the first time Doraemon made an appearance in the US. The movie grossed over 3.28 billion yen.
