Production

The movie takes place in the world of dreams. It is the first time that 'dream' is chosen to be the theme of a Crayon Shin-chan movie. It is also the first time that a comedian, Hitori Gekidan, was appointed for writing the screenplay.^[10] Gekidan said that he had a strong interest in dreams for a long time and wanted to implement its mysterious charm as the theme of this movie. He revealed that this movie is exciting and funny as well as emotional and touching.^[11] He expects many families and anime fans to show up in theaters like the previous year. He said that there was greater pressure on him as this movie is a work made for fans, i.e. fan service. So to live up to the expectations of the fans, he took around 7 to 8 months, holding meetings with staffs, to improve the plot.^[12] He also said that while writing the story he also thought from his daughter's point of view so that the movie can be enjoyed by both parents and children alike. He said that using the tool of animation, he fully represented an appealing fantasy dream land where Shinnosuke is going berserk.^[13] In addition, for the first time in eight years, Wataru Takahashi was involved in writing the screenplay of a Crayon Shin-chan movie, his last time being in the 16th movie Crayon Shin-chan: The Storm Called: The Hero of Kinpoko.^[14] Incidentally, the 16th movie too had some elements of 'dream' in it.
