Shin Chan was actually busy conjuring up delicious food on paper when suddenly a dubious man stands in front of him and waves a pen around. What is that supposed to mean? He has no idea that he is the court painter of Movie Explained, who was sent to Earth on an important mission on behalf of the princess. Finally, his country's defense minister is planning an invasion: in order to supply the kingdom with the urgently needed doodling energy, the children should be forced to doodle. The less productive parents, on the other hand, should be eliminated. Clearly this has to be prevented somehow. And so Shin Chan receives a magic pen that can make drawings real. But time is running out, the army has already arrived and is starting to enslave all the children...
Although the popularity of manga and anime in this country has increased significantly in recent years, no one needs to complain about a lack of new titles. And yet there are a number of important titles that are not available in this country. These include Golgo 13 about a contract killer, the longest-running ongoing manga ever, or Doraemon about the friendship between a boy and a robot cat. Both manga are in the top 10 best-selling manga of all time and yet have been withheld from us until now. And that also applies to Crayon Shin-chan by Yoshito Usui. 20 years ago there was an attempt to sell the manga and anime here, but this was stopped after a short time.
The surprise was even greater when Shin Chan: Crash! Kingdom Kritzel and almost four heroes was released in German - the 28th film based on the long-running hit. Anyone who fears that they won't be able to attend due to a lack of previous knowledge should be reassured. You don't have to import the previous 27 films or buy the manga for a lot of money. The story stands on its own. If you still stare at the screen confused and don't really know what to think of it, then it has less to do with the fact that something was randomly taken from a long-standing franchise. Rather, the franchise in question is known for telling very crazy things in addition to everyday scenes from the life of the five-year-old protagonist.

Here it is the kingdom that can only exist if enough people doodle on earth. At first you think it's a slight social criticism when you regret that children these days only sit on video game consoles or tablets instead of simply picking up a pen. The lack of desire for creativity is also criticized later. But you don't go quite that far. Director and co-writer Takahiko Kyogoku has more fun indulging in the absurdity of the scenario. In general, the humor is in Shin Chan: Crash! Kingdom scribble and almost four heroes in the foreground, with the jokes alternating between crazy, crude and infantile. Sometimes everything together, when one of the eponymous heroes is a talking pair of underpants.
In keeping with the theme, the look is more like doodles than subtle art. That's not necessarily a problem. The designs by Usui, who died in 2009, are very striking and stand out from everyday manga life. The animation studio Shin-Ei Animation (Stand by Me Doraemon, Summer Days with Coo), which also produces the series, sticks closely to the original and adds a few interesting characters. Technically, Shin Chan: Crash! Kingdom scribble and almost four heroes but less noticeable. In some places it looks rather cheap; compared to other endless series like Detective Conan, it's not exactly cinematic. But the anime adventure is fun, which is why it's a shame that it didn't continue afterwards and that the arrival of the slightly different hero was probably only a short visit.
You don't have to understand why the 28th part of the anime series was released here. It's nice nonetheless. This is how “Shin Chan: Crash!” Kingdom Scribble and Almost Four Heroes” with a humor that oscillates between crazy, crude and infantile when our five-year-old title hero has to stop an invasion with the help of a magic pen.
