CATDOLL: Details of the new movie version of "Yo-kai Watch" announced and will be officially launched on December 17

Details of the new theatrical version of the Japanese national animation "Yo-kai Watch" "The Adventure of the Sky Whale and the Two Worlds" have been announced. Like last year, this new theatrical animation will officially land in major theaters in Japan on December 17.

It is reported that the new movie version of "Yo-kai Watch" will adopt a "semi-live-action" production method, and invites 10-year-old child star Minamiide ​​Ryoka, who played the young Jinta in the live-action version of "Anohana", to play the protagonist Amano Keita. In addition, the story is divided into two routes, "animation world" and "realistic world", which perfectly echoes the "two worlds adventure" in the title.

In order to be more in line with the live-action version, the new "Yo-kai Watch" movie will also use 3DCG technology in the "realistic world" for performance. At that time, Jingtai's monster companions will appear in three-dimensional images, and a cross-dimensional chaotic farce is about to unfold fiercely.
