Doraemon: Nobita's Space Heroes

Plot

In the introduction scenario, a space ship crashes into the hill at dark night. The next morning, Suneo, Gian and Shizuka decide to make a space-based hero film entitled Guardians of the Galaxy, which is a current magical blockbuster hit.

Meanwhile, Nobita performs some rubber band art in front of a group of little kids. Afterwards, Nobita jumps and says "急げ!" and the theme song, "Yume wo Kanaete Doraemon" begins. After the opening, Nobita heads on over to the hill where he finds Gian, Suneo and Shizuka shooting the film. Nobita immediately wants to join in the film as a space hero, to which Gian and Suneo let him in, only to end up making Nobita perform as the monster that they battle. After Gian throws and beats up Nobita dressed up as the monster, Nobita runs back home to ask Doraemon for help. The two return back to the hill where Doraemon pulls out a gadget from his pocket, a film director known as the "Burger Director". They all become space heroes (using the "Real-Light" gadget, also from Doraemon's pocket that has the ability to make their fictional costumes real) and with the help from the Director Burger, they all start to actually battle a fake space monster.

During filming, an alien from another planet arrives to ask help from Doraemon, Nobita, Shizuka, Suneo, and Gian and they agreed to follow him. On the spacecraft, the alien, named Aron, reveals himself as the sheriff of the planet Pokkoru, which is inhabited by mice alien creatures. He was lucky to escape the pursuit of security personnel of "Recreation Land Space" (who are actually alien pirates). The next morning, Aron and the reconnaissance group enter Pokkoru. Aron tries to warn the councilors and public to remain alert, but no one believes him. Nobita discovers some alien pirates so they push him away, where he ends up falling down and loses his superhero star crest down in the wells, ridding him of his abilities.

Fortunately, Aron finds Nobita tied by ropes and accidentally left his disguise active knowing that Space Land is sucking the energy plan of the planet to shoot down the Arumasu star. However, Aron and Nobita end up discovered by Meba, and Gian and Suneo were arrested earlier by Ogon. Shizuka, Doraemon and Nobita had seen the star drifting toward him, and they knew something was wrong so they rescue them and their friends. Although the rescue was successful, Shizuka was caught by Haido. In order to make Aron's group surrender, Haido threatens to impale her, but the Burger Director projects a virtual image in order to scare him and save Shizuka.

When all of them shelter, the group began to split and Aron finally learns the truth about Nobita and his friends not actually being heroes, but still praises the group as heroes since, despite that, they still chose to come to Pokkoru to help. The group decide to help save the planet, where they move straight to the tower group Space, while the residents of Pokkoru were unaware of their dangers. Meba and Ogon arrive to block and fight the group, while Haido and his group is in the basement below the tower. Meba attacks Aron and Nobita tries to help, but was accidentally teleported inside the pirates's ship due to the belt on Meba's waist fell against him, Shizuka then fights and defeats Meba, while Gian also defeats Ogon.

Meanwhile, Doraemon, Suneo, and Aron head towards the basement, but Haido uses his fighter to chase them away. Shizuka and Gian arrive and crash Haido's fighter, resulting in Haido getting knocked in the crash. After confronting Haido, the group learn the pirates secret to steal diamonds from the Arumasu Star. Nobita fights with Ikaros alone, where he discovers that Ikaros is too weak (due to unavailability of energy from graphite - a major component of the Arumasu star) and quickly defeats him.

After learning the secret out, the group returns to the ship heading to disable launchers, but they were too late because Ikarosu had already triggered it. Luckily, they stops the star explosions after the Burger Director rewinds time Pokkoru planet has not sucked the energy to restore the life on their planet. They save Pokkoru from destruction and the residents apologize to Aron for not trusting him. Later on, the group bids Aron farewell and return to Earth, where Nobita and the group of little kids are playing cat's cradle together, with Doraemon, Gian, Suneo, and Shizuka watching before they all laugh together.
