Shinnosuke (Shin-chan) sets off together with the fox yokai Yako and other creatures to the "Nanka Yokai Castle" to save the situation. The director is Masaki Watanabe, who previously worked on "Battle Spirits: Heroes" and "Sakamoto Days", among others. The screenplay is by Yoshiko Nakamura ("Re:Zero"). The ending theme song is "Otona ni Nattara" by singer TOMOO.
The film itself opens nationwide in Japanese theaters on July 31, 2026, and is produced by Shin-Ei Animation. Distribution is handled by Toho. Voice actors include Yumiko Kobayashi (Shin-chan), Miki Narahashi (Misae), and Toshiyuki Morikawa (Hiroshi), as well as guest appearances by Sairi Itō (Yako) and Yūki Kaji (Hyakuemon).
