Doraemon The Future 2008, or fully known as Nobita and the Green Giant Legend 2008 (Eiga Doraemon Nobita to Midori no Kyojinden, 映画 ドラえもん のび太と緑の巨人伝), is an anime movie that will be released in Japan on March 8, 2008. It will be later distributed to United States of America on December 2008, and then to Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, China on 2009.[citation needed] It is the first movie, in the new Doraemon movie series that is not a remake of the previously released movies. Also, this would be the very first Doraemon movie to be shown in the United States, and gives the first notice of the Doraemon franchise outside of Asia. In 2009, Nobita's Wannyan Space-Time Odyssey will be shown as the second Doraemon movie in the United States.
The story is based on the story in volume 26 "Forest is living" and in volume 33 "Goodbye Ki-bō". This movie is not a remake, however, Ki-bō has appeared already in the 1992 film, "Nobita and the Kingdom of Clouds". The name Ki-bō comes from the words "Ki" (木, "Ki"?) meaning tree, and "Bō" (棒, "Bō"?) meaning a wooden stick. The word Ki-bō also comes from the word "Kibō" (希望, "Kibō"?), which means hope. The catch phrase of this movie is "僕らの希望が未来を動かす" (our hope moves the future), which Ki-bō's name can be referred to. Voices of Roku-chan and Moya-kun were done by anonymous children who were chosen.
The film will be illustrated as manga on the February and March edition of CoroCoro Comic. Then it will be released as the 25th film tankōbon, which may be bought at the theater. As the 4th "Sega=Doraemon" project, an action-adventure game will also be released on March 6, 2008 entitled, Doraemon Nobita to Midori no Kyojinden DS (ドラえもん のび太と緑の巨人伝, Doraemon Nobita to Midori no Kyojinden DS?).
