As per Maiko Sumida, Head of Animation Sales & Development at TV Asahi, the staff always wanted to release a Shin-Chan movie in Indian theaters.

“2025 is likely to become a major milestone for our Shin Chan team. It has been our long-standing dream to release Shin Chan the movie in theatres in India, the movie superpower.” - Maiko Sumida

Fortunately for them, their wishes are set to come true as they are set to release a pair of movies. Crayon Shin-chan the Movie: Super Magnificent! Scorching Kasukabe Dancers will be the franchise's first dance entertainment movie and will see Shinnosuke and the Kasukabe Defense Force members dance in the film.

While Shin-Chan is a Japanese anime, the series has been part of Indian television for a really long time. The franchise was first launched in India in 2006 and aired daily on Hungama TV. Later, it switched to Sony Pictures Networks India-owned Sony Yay! in May 2024.

The television network has already conducted a month-long run of Shin-Chan movies from December 2024 to January 2025.
