It was released on 8 August 2014. It is the highest-grossing film of the Doraemon franchise. Bang Zoom! Entertainment premiered an English-dubbed version of the film at the Tokyo International Film Festival on 24 October 2014. Stand by Me Doraemon was commercially successful in Japan. It was number one on the box office charts for five consecutive weeks and was the second highest-grossing animated film of 2014 in Japan, with a box office total of $183.4 million, behind Disney's Frozen. In February 2015, the film won the Japan Academy Prize for Animation of the Year at the 38th Japan Academy Prize. A sequel was released on 20 November 2020 in Japan.
