In Ho Chi Minh City, the Doraemon exhibition evoked childhood memories for many age groups. Making its debut in Vietnam, this event held immense significance as it marked the 45th anniversary of the first Doraemon film series' release, bringing with it joy and meaningful lessons.
Located right in the lobby of the Landmark 81 building, the exhibition quickly attracted a large number of visitors, from young children to adults looking to relive the innocent moments of a bygone era. The first impressive highlight was the appearance of more than 20 Doraemon models in various adorable expressions and sizes. Each familiar robotic cat carried a magical gadget that had become an icon associated with the childhood of millions of people.
Ho Chi Minh City is buzzing with the Doraemon exhibition, where adults and children have the chance to meet the legendary robot cat that has been a part of many generations.
Doraemon, the robotic cat from the manga series of the same name by Fujiko Fujio, has become an indispensable icon in Vietnamese childhood culture since its debut in 1992.
The exhibition officially opened to visitors on the afternoon of May 17th and will run until June 1st, an ideal time for families to enjoy memorable moments together on International Children's Day. From the very first days, the exhibition area has been incredibly lively and filled with laughter. People from all walks of life flocked here to see firsthand the vivid Doraemon models, realistically recreating the image of the kind robotic cat and his close friends.
The event commemorates the 45th anniversary of the release of the Doraemon movie.
This collection of 44 mini models recreates 44 of Doraemon's adventures, illustrating each story in detail as seen on the big screen.
Beyond simply displaying models, the exhibition also offers a series of rich and engaging interactive activities. Children have the opportunity to unleash their creativity in the coloring and painting area, while young people enjoy posing next to familiar icons such as the giant Dorayaki pancake, the magic door, the bamboo propeller, or the "legendary" gadgets that have become an indispensable part of the memories of Doraemon fans.
Many meaningful activities were organized alongside the exhibition space.
The exhibition space was decorated in a bright and colorful way, like a time machine transporting people back to those blissful summer afternoons reading comic books under a fan.
Even after 45 years, Doraemon remains a beloved friend to generations, bringing joy whenever he is remembered.
The event also includes many other special activities such as the "Your World and Doraemon" art exhibition, where creative works by fans are displayed; screenings of Doraemon movies that have left a deep impression on audiences; organizing prize-winning painting workshops for children; and a vibrant check-in area with cute Doraemon models.
Displayed in front of the Landmark 81 building, the Doraemon exhibition attracted a large crowd with twenty Doraemon models varying in facial expressions and sizes.
The exhibition's appeal isn't limited to children and families; it also strongly resonates with young people. This is because Doraemon isn't just a simple cartoon character; it's a beautiful part of their memories, a close companion for those who experienced childhood in the 90s and 2000s. This event is more than just an ordinary exhibition; it's become a special emotional meeting point where adults can rediscover the innocent feelings of the past, while children have the opportunity to explore a colorful and magical world of animation. Running until June 1st, the Doraemon exhibition promises to continue being an attractive and bustling destination in the coming days.
The exhibition is open free of charge from 10 am to 8 pm daily, creating an interactive space for fans to share childhood memories.
The exhibition space also displays 45 episodes of films from over the years.
45 years – a long journey filled with countless changes, yet the image of the robotic cat Doraemon remains present in the hearts of many generations as a beloved old friend. And this meaningful "return" to Ho Chi Minh City seems to prove that Doraemon's appeal is as strong as ever, capable of creating a sensation and bringing memorable moments to everyone.
