Doraemon the Movie: Nobita in the Wan-Nyan Spacetime Odyssey
映画 ドラえもん のび太のワンニャン時空伝
One day, Nobita finds a stray dog drowning in a river while playing by the river side. Feeling sorry for the dog, he decides to take it home by hiding it in a "kennel on the wall" and names it Ichi (originated from "One", which sounds similar to "wan", the sound a dog makes according to the Japanese language), and secretly feeds it and plays with Ichi with his Kendama to find. Soon after, he also adopts a stray cat named Zubu (or wet in Japanese, due to the discovery of it in a rainstorm)... and many other stray cats and dogs. With so many stray cats and dogs, Nobita, along with his friends, decide to send them back in time, 300 million years ago, where there was no other living beings around. After using the Ray of Evolution to allow them to operate a food-making machine, they depart, with a promise to return to the present. However, when they try to visit them the next day (from their point of view), they encountered a time-space anomaly, sending them crash landing 1,000 years before their original time-destination— to their surprise, They found out the dogs and cats have evolved enough to form a civilized society that rivaled those of Future Society. As the time machine is broken, they try to find help to repair it so they can continue their chrono-journey, only to learn of a bigger issue — a cluster of asteroids are going to Collide with Earth. Will Nobita finally reunite with Ichi, as he promised? More over, what's with Hachi, a dog who resembles Ichi greatly? The 300 million years of time and space adventure begins. (Source: Wikipedia)

Doraemon: Nobita no Wan-nyan Jikuuden is the last hurrah of the Nobuyo Oyama era, and one that provides a beautiful conclusion to the 25 year run of the 1979 series. Story: Another quality storyline typical of the Doraemon series, this movie was based off the TV episode Stray Dog Ichi's Country, which itself was derived from the manga chapter. Nothing too far from the ordinary -- a classic Fujiko story. This movie, however, has quite a bit of original content that was not in the original manga/episode, making this worth a watch. Art: While some may wish for the cell animation that was the trademark ofthe series before Windmasters (2003), in terms of animation this was the peak of the 1979 series. Beautiful backgrounds, fluid characters, and absolutely amazing colors, the art in this movie even beats many of the modern Doraemon movies in the Wasabi era. In fact, after watching this movie, you might even feel that there was a downgrade after the start of the Wasabi era ;). Sound: The very last time we would ever hear Nobuyo Oyama as Doraemon and Noriko Ohara as Nobita-kun. Excellent voice acting, as per the usual. Hitomi Shimatani provides a wonderful ED in Yume Biyori, in which would be one of the most memorable Doraemon EDs along with Shounenki from Little Star Wars (1985). This would also be the last time Doraemon no Uta would be used in a Doraemon movie as of current, so enjoy! Characters: The main 5 provided a great performance. While not as impactful as movies like Steel Troops (1986/2011), this was still quite a touching story from the 5. Nobita as per the usual touches the hearts of the viewers with his cute friendships. The movie-special characters were passable, although not the best of Doraemon. This movie has the cutest Shizuka moments of the whole 25 years before this movie, if that's your thing. Enjoyment: Really cute end to the original run of Doraemon, and one that'll make you feel good inside.
