The Crayon Shin-chan anime franchise is getting the 3DCG treatment for its next movie, which will be released in summer 2023.
The new movie is titled Shin Jigen! Crayon Shin-chan The Movie Chou Nouryoku Daisensou ~Tobe Tobe Temakizushi~. Hitoshi Oone (Sunny: Our Hearts Beat Together; Fireworks scriptwriter) is writing and directing with Shirogumi handling the 3DCG animation.
A “super teaser visual” and announcement trailer have been released.
Crayon Shin-chan began in 1990 as a manga by the late Yoshito Usui. The Futabasha-published manga ran until 2010 with 50 volumes. An anime series adaptation began in 1992 and is still on-going with over 1000 episodes. The anime’s 30th movie, Eiga Crayon Shin-chan: Mononoke Ninja Chinpuden, was released in Japan this April.
One Peace Books describes the manga as:
Crayon Shinchan features a pint-sized terror who is a rude little dude that stands back-to-back with such contemporaries as the kids of South Park. So be warned, this hilarious romp isn’t for children; instead, Crayon Shinchan is an adult, tongue-in-cheek poke at modern domestic life.
