==History==
Doraemon's Time Travel Adventure is the first collaboration between Universal Parks & Resorts, Japan-based broadcaster TV Asahi, its subsidiary, Shin-Ei Animation, and the estate of Doraemon creator Fujiko F. Fujio.
===Development===
In August 2022, Doraemon anime director Kozo Kuzuba confirmed that a Doraemon themed attraction was being developed by Universal Creative for the Hollywood Boulevard section of the Universal Studios Japan theme park in cooperation with Shogakukan and Fujiko Pro. Anime News Network reported that new animation for the attraction was being developed by Shin-Ei.
==Attraction==
The exteriors of Doraemon's Time Travel Adventure is modeled after a Tomorrowland-esque robot factory.
===Backstory===
Doraemon has to return to the future to get his fourth-dimensional pocket replaced due to it getting ruined by Gian and Suneo for an unknown reason. However, two criminals known as the Dinosaur Hunters, first seen in the 1980 movie Nobita's Dinosaur, are on the run from the law again after stealing the United States Declaration of Independence fresh from its signing date of July 4, 1776, and creating a plot to revise it for their own personal gain. Doraemon later returns to Nobita's time in panic, saying that if they don't stop the Dinosaur Hunters, it will be the end of modern history as we know it. Nobita later comes up with the idea of inviting a few guests over to help them catch the hunters and help the time patrol send them to jail, because he knows that he and Doraemon cannot accomplish this mission alone.
== Plans for US expansion ==
Comcast CEO Brian Roberts stated in an interview with All-Nippon News Network (ANN) that despite plans to bring the attraction to Universal's Beijing and Dubai destinations, there are no plans to expand the attraction's footprint to the United States, largely due to US audiences not being familiar with the Doraemon brand.
