What’s blue and white and read all over? That would be Doraemon, a time-traveling robot cat from the 22nd century who ranks as the all-time most popular comicbook (or manga) character among Japanese kids. Instantly recognizable with his bubble head and huge half-moon smile, Doraemon is bigger than Big Bird in Japan, where a preschool-targeted computer-animated feature, “Stand by Me Doraemon,” has been a massive hit among fans, reverently rehashing the character’s origin story and most popular adventures. Attractive to behold, yet bland as a stack of red-bean pancakes, the pic has earned $78 million since its release on Aug. 8th. Reviewed by: Peter Debruge/Chief International Film Critic.
