In this scene from “Dorami’s Trouble in the Jurassic,” the Allosaurus is about to attack Nobita and Dekisugi, while Shizuka is right there watching.

But her reaction is basically just surprise 🤔?

Was this simply an animation mistake, or could it be that everything happened so quickly that her expression hadn't changed yet?

It’s the “Santa Mail” episode (1996, S18, E1428) from the 1979 series.

In this episode, Nobita overhears two children at a mall, a big brother and his younger sister, talking about Christmas. The little sister really wants a panda as her Christmas present, but her brother gets annoyed and tells her that it isn’t possible.

Nobita and Doraemon decide to fulfill her wish. So, at Nobita’s request, Doraemon transforms into a panda! They go to the two children, who are obviously shocked to see a real-life panda appear in front of them.

Later, Nobita and Doraemon take the two children on a ride using Doraemon’s Santa Claus reindeer vehicle.

I won’t spoil the whole thing, though. There’s more to the episode, and honestly, it’s a really wholesome Christmas story.

I suddenly remembered this episode and had to share it.

Anyone else remember this one?

I always wanted to know Abt it

This video shows Misato Watanabe's rendition of "Doraemon no Uta," a performance originally broadcast on TV Asahi on April 18, 2003, for the 25th anniversary of the 1979–2005 Doraemon anime. My vocal performance has been layered over her original recording.
