Doraemon's Next Adventure: Steam-Powered 19th Century England
Doraemon's new film takes Nobita and friends to 19th century industrial Britain.
Doraemon is heading to Victorian England. The franchise's latest film, Doraemon: Nobita's Steam Time Car, lands March 5, 2027, with director Ruchio Moriyama and screenwriter Makoto Ueda steering the time-travel premise into 19th century industrial Britain.
The setup is pure Doraemon formula: Nobita and friends tumble through time via the robot cat's gadgetry, this time arriving in an era of steam engines and period dress. A teaser visual and video have already dropped, showing the core cast suited up in Victorian gear—the kind of fish-out-of-water charm that's kept the series running since 1969.
What matters here is the release date itself. March 5, 2027 slots the film into the franchise's reliable annual cycle, and the period-adventure framing suggests the filmmakers are betting on spectacle and novelty to draw audiences. Whether that's enough in a crowded anime film market remains to be seen, but Doraemon's track record suggests the core fanbase will show up regardless.
