What happens

Doraemon: Nobita and the Spiral City (ドラえもん のび太のねじ巻き都市(シティー)冒険記, Doraemon Nobita no Nejimaki Shitī Bōkenki), also known as Doraemon and the Spiral City, is the 18th animated feature-length Doraemon film. It premiered in Japan on March 8th, 1997, and was based on the 17th volume of the same name in the Doraemon Long Stories manga series. The film's release commemorated the 20th anniversary of the launch of the Corocoro Comic magazine. It was the last Doraemon film written and supervised by series creator Fujiko F. Fujio before he died in September 1996, the remainder of the manga being completed and released in serialization after he died by apprentices (he died while inking and illustrating the manga) with the movie releasing months after his death.
