SYNOPSIS
Nobita stumbles into an extraordinary adventure when Doraemon's latest gadget accidentally opens a path to Mayana, a hidden Mayan civilization deep in the jungle. There, he meets Thio, a prince who looks exactly like him. When the kingdom faces destruction from the sorceress Ledina and her dark magic, the two boys devise a daring plan: swap places and identities to protect Thio's people from ruin. What begins as a simple exchange becomes a genuine test of courage and friendship. Nobita must masquerade as royalty while navigating court politics and ancient traditions, while Thio experiences life as an ordinary boy. Together with Doraemon and their companions, they work to uncover Ledina's true intentions and find a way to save the kingdom before it falls completely under her spell. The film blends lighthearted comedy with genuine stakes, as Nobita discovers he's capable of far more than he ever imagined. The lush jungle setting and fantastical Mayan world create a sense of wonder, while the friendship between the two boys anchors the story's emotional core. This is adventure that rewards both humor and heart.
