Doraemon in the Big City (TV Series)

Doraemon in the Big City is an upcoming 2022 American-Japanese live action/animated jukebox musical romantic comedy adventure television series created, written, co-produced, and directed by Tim Federle and co-produced by Disney Television Animation with visual effects and animation provided by Mercury Filmworks, Lighthouse Studios, Industrial Light & Magic and DNEG set to be released in mid-2022. The series will take place after Doraemon the Movie: Noby’s Under-the-Sea Rescue where Noby accidentally blow up Tammy's house with a bounce cannon and now escape the wrath of their enraged mother. On the run, he, Sue and Doraemon travel to America and found themselves ended up in a place called New York City of which Sue must take them on various adventures there of which where she'll risk her life to protect them from her deadly wrath while she and Noby discover romance in the most unexpected places.

There was an one-hour episode finale titled The Final Showdown! where Tammy transforms into a 50-foot (then 200-foot) demon kaiju and drags Noby down into the Underworld, Doraemon and Sue must rescue him before his soul is destroyed and Doraemon and Sue heroically defeating Tammy and bravely doing so in the end and everything is reversed back to normal before Big G destroyed Mr. S's house.

This will include Disney characters similar in the manner of Scooby-Doo! and Guess Who and many versions of hit songs old and new also similar in the vein of the 2019 biopic Rocketman, the Disney musical On the Record and the jukebox broadway musical that inspired the 2012 film adaptation Rock of Ages.

The series will have more slapstick comedy, romance and adventure like The Cuphead Show!, but still stay true to the anime.
