The team behind the film is the same as that of the CG-animated Doraemon film released in 2014. That includes Takashi Yamazaki (Parasyte), who’s working as chief director and screenwriter, and Makoto Hanafusa, who is credited as director.
The music will be composed by Koichi Sugiyama, the main composer of the Dragon Quest franchise (who also composed the music for the original Dragon Quest V).
