Spoilers ahead

The adventure centers on Nobita Nobi and Doraemon as they revisit a familiar Arabian Nights story through a magical storybook gadget. Frustrated with watching from the sidelines, Nobita pushes the book to invite Shizuka Minamoto into other tales, hoping for a more active journey, and accidentally drags along Takeshi Goda and Suneo Honekawa. Gian and Suneo meddle with the stories to craft a “fresh” version, turning the mashup into a chaotic swirl of legends that Shizuka dislikes. When their escape options collapse, Shizuka is knocked out by Sinbad’s magic carpet and swept into the desert, leaving Nobita to retreat back to the real world at his mother’s urging to tidy up the scattered storybooks.
