Description: Doraemon: Nobita’s Dorabian Nights – 1991 Full Movie
Storyline:
Nobita Nobi and Doraemon embark on an adventure inspired by the tales of Sinbad from Arabian Nights, using a special storybook gadget. However, Nobita grows bored of simply observing the story from a distance and decides to invite Shizuka Minamoto to join him in exploring other tales. In the process, he accidentally brings along Takeshi “Gian” Goda and Suneo Honekawa. Gian and Suneo disrupt the stories, creating a chaotic mix that Shizuka finds unappealing. While trying to leave, Shizuka is knocked unconscious by Sinbad’s magic carpet and ends up stranded in the desert.
The following day, Doraemon discovers Shizuka’s disappearance and organizes a rescue mission. They travel to 8th-century Baghdad during the reign of Caliph Harun al-Rashid, learning that the world of Arabian Nights aligns with this historical period. Disguised as foreign traders, Nobita, Doraemon, Gian, and Suneo are saved from a bandit named Cassim by the caliph himself, who grants them permission to travel from the port of Basra. Initially guided by a genie named Mikujin, the group loses his assistance after offending him due to his inefficiency.
After purchasing a ship, they are betrayed by the trader, who turns out to be Cassim in disguise, and are thrown overboard. They later wake up on the shores of the Arabian Desert, where they must trek through the harsh environment after losing Doraemon’s pocket during the storm. Eventually, they are rescued by a massive genie commanded by Sinbad, who rules a magnificent city created by a mysterious time traveler from the future. With Sinbad’s magical gadgets, the group manages to save Shizuka from a bandit named Abdil.
Determined to seek revenge, Abdil teams up with Cassim and his henchmen to locate the lost city. It is revealed that Abdil is the only one who remembers the city’s location, as he refused to drink a memory potion offered by Sinbad after his visit.
