Legacy
Doraemon: Nobita's Chronicle of the Moon Exploration (2019) is the entry we would put first for anyone coming straight from Doraemon Movies. It picks up the same characters and the same central problem, so nothing about it feels like a detour.
Cultural impact
It also works as a standalone evening. 111 minutes, no homework required beyond the film you have just watched, and it resolves its own story rather than parking it for a sequel.
Unknown on the material
Unknown treats the material as if the audience is already paying attention, which is the whole trick. Nothing is repeated for the slow row at the back, and that trust is what makes the ending land.
Awards summary
No Academy Awards on record for this title — its standing here comes from how well it holds up, not from a ceremony.

Editor's note
“I have shown Doraemon: Nobita's Chronicle of the Moon Exploration to people who insisted they did not like science fiction films. It has never once failed. That is the closest thing to proof a ranking like this can offer.”
