Post Doraemon: Nobita's New Great Adventure into the Underworld - The Seven Magic Users on aired at Channel 8

The Doraemon 2007 movie, Doraemon: Nobita's New Great Adventure into the Underworld - The Seven Magic Users was aired on Channel 8, 27 January 2009, Tuesday.

Although I do own the the DVD, I made it a point to climb out of my bed at 9.20am and watched the movie at 10am sharp.

After watching it, I certainly had some things to say about. No, not of the movie itself but rather, the missing of some scenes in the movie.

It's quite obvious that somebody had cut away some scenes as they might deemed it no help to continual to the storyline.

I certainly do not think so. Every scene in the movie counts and those missing scenes are actually some funny parts or parts that will lead us to know more about Doraemon.

Yes, I am pissed. Somehow they have to cut away scenes. In other shows I had watched, that happens as well.

Let me list down the scenes and changes I had noticed to the movie you had seen on the television.

1) When Doraemon had that stomachache and went back to the 22th Century, there's actually a scene which Doraemi wanted to drag Doraemon to a capsule that will give Doraemon a thorough body checkup. Doraemon's stomachache had stopped by then, refused to obey and ran back to Nobita's house. From this incident, we can actually learned that Doraemon is afraid of taking a health checkup besides his well known fear of mice.

2) After the proposing the idea of having a magical world to replace reality, Nobita and Doraemon tried to used magic but to no avail. This is a funny scene as both were shouting random curses and were going all for it.

3) On the way to the hill behind Nobita's school to check out the black meteorite, Shizuka marveled at Doraemon's use of magic that enable him to fly. She was actually referring the Take-copter. Doraemon said that the use of Take-copter was not due to his magic but science and technology. Shizuka then laughed at Doraemon for believing in science and technology as they were both superstitions. This was one of the effect of changing the reality world into the magical world.

4) The floating magic chant that was commonly used throughout the movie, differ in Japanese and Chinese. In Japanese version, it was "Jin Ka La Hoi!" but in Chinese version, it was changed to "Chan Ku La Ho!".

That's about the changes and missing scenes I had noted. Perhaps I had missed out some but..oh well, if you wished to watch the entire movie without any missing scenes or advertisements, getting the DVD is the way to go!
