On June 1st, Children's Day in China, the Wanda cinema in west Beijing was busier than usual. Young couples in their late 20s or early 30s took their children to watch the first Doraemon movie with 3D CGI technique. The story induced laughters and tears among the most sympathetic audience members, but when the end credits appeared and the lights went on, it was the parents who lingered in their seats trying to catch the behind-the-scenes extras, while the children were anxiously beseeching their mums and dads to leave.
It was a remarkable contrast to other, more ordinary films made for kids. Normally it is the children who are too excited to leave as their parents try to coax them out of their seats. This deviation tells a lot about the difference in the lives of the young parents from that of their even younger heirs.
About 30 years ago, Doraemon began to attract millions of young Chinese fans. According to the comic book stories, the chubby blue robot cat was sent back in time by a boy in the 22nd century to accompany his great great grandpa Nobita, a typical loser in school who possessed no academic or athletic aptitude. Coming from a more technologically-advanced time, Doraemon presented a myriad of gadgets that defied the laws of science and common sense. The goal was to keep Nobita out of trouble, but more often than not the boy with a gadget caused even more mishaps.
The fantastic gadgets in the story appealed greatly to children. More significant was the idea of having a nearly omnipotent friend to help you out every time you are in trouble. In a time when most parents were working hard to cash in on the results of China's Reform and Opening-up, children can get very lonely indeed and an imaginary friend who is always there sounded better than it does.
Today our children are the centre of the family. Their parents, sitting on the wealth of the grandparents, no longer have to break their backs for a better life. The marginal benefits of hard work have shrunk and now give way to high quality family time. Instead of loneliness, the smothered kids are more likely to look for a chance to spread their wings and fly away, like Hiccup in "How to Train Your Dragon."
"Stand by Me Doraemon" consists of details from several different episodes of the comic series, with the focus on how Nobita courts the favour of his female classmate Shizuka. Most parents would probably recognise the episodes, so there is little originality in the movie. Also the fantastic gadgets are given little exposure, chances are the kids will miss out on the highlight of the story that so captivated their parents.
So in conclusion, the movie's sentimental value may be enough to satisfy the parents, but will probably stop short of inspiring younger followers.
