Crayon Shin-chan series , known for releasing annual films since 1993, will return in style with its 32nd feature after an unexpected break in 2024.
Therefore, the film was titled Crayon Shin-chan: Ultra-Elegant! Blazing Kasukabe Dancers , the new film is scheduled to premiere in Japanese cinemas during the summer of 2025. This time, the chosen setting will be India, marking the first time that the franchise is set in that country.
The story will be set in India, a place with over 5,000 years of history and famous for its vibrant culture, especially its music and dances. This choice was not random, as Shin-chan's films often highlight unique cultural elements.
In the past, the Nohara family has had adventures in countries such as Mexico ( Crash! Rakuga Kingdom and Almost Four Heroes , 2020) and Australia ( Honeymoon Hurricane The Lost Hiroshi , 2019). Now, India promises to bring a special touch, but it also raises curiosity about how the franchise will approach cultural aspects, as its satires do not always please international audiences.
The teaser and trailer highlight Bo-chan, the quietest member of Kasukabe's class, who this time will have a central role, something rare in the series' history.
Finally, the direction is by Masakazu Hashimoto , who has already directed hits such as Honeymoon Hurricane and Mononoke Ninja Chinpuden (2022). The script will be written by Kimiko Ueno , Hashimoto's frequent collaborator, ensuring the mix of humor and adventure that fans love so much.
