AI-generated summary

The film, released in Japan in 2001 and later shown in China, explores human nature and values rather than relying on high-quality visuals or special effects. It may not be suitable for young children, although it contains some humorous moments. The story features an adult trapped in a child's body, expressing a range of emotions, and has a sci-fi element reminiscent of "Black Mirror" and "The Truman Show." Set against the backdrop of Japan's slow development in the 21st century, the film reflects on nostalgia versus facing an uncertain future, highlighting the painful yet memorable aspects of growing up and the value of experiences and emotions in life.

This movie was released in Japan in 2001, perhaps due to its good reputation, or perhaps because of the World Expo in Osaka this year, it is being shown in theaters in China after more than 20 years.

Japanese animated films do not attract audiences through high-definition visuals or grand special effects; rather, they express values through reflections on human nature. This movie is not particularly suitable for young children, although there are some funny scenes that can amuse them.

I have not read the "Crayon Shin-chan" comics or watched the TV series, but what I see in this movie is an adult who does not want to grow up expressing their joys and sorrows in the body of a child. The storyline is somewhat sci-fi, similar to "Black Mirror," and it also has echoes of "The Truman Show."

Japan in the 21st century has entered a slow development phase after years of rapid growth, and people are not optimistic about the future. In this context, whether to indulge in memories of the good old days or to bravely face an uncertain future, everyone has their own thoughts. The process of growing up can be painful, but there are also many moments worth remembering. Experiences and emotions may be the most precious wealth in a person's life.
