STEP INTO DORAEMON'S WORLD

Iconsiam is hosting an exhibition to celebrate the beloved manga with immersive zones and rare artworks

- 

Doraemon, created by manga master Fujiko F. Fujio, is a world-famous blue robotic cat character from the future who is popular because of his engaging stories that fascinate young viewers.

To celebrate Doraemon, Japan Anime Movie Thailand in collaboration with All Rights Reserved and Fujiko Pro, organised “100% Doraemon & Friends” which covers 3,000m² at Iconsiam.

Pitchapha Nalongphun, managing director of Five Star Agency, explained that the title “100% Doraemon & Friends” means the exhibition is a collection of all the characters in Doraemon.

“As part of celebrations, the organisers collected Doraemon's friends. Viewers may not remember some characters because they missed some episodes, but over 100 characters appeared in Doraemon. The exhibition also includes characters from Perman, another manga created by Fujio,” said Pitchapha.

“This is the world’s largest Doraemon event. In the past, the event was organised separately by categories such as manga, animation, projection mapping and movie, but this event includes all categories.”

The exhibition is divided into two zones — Zone 1: 100% Manga Art Exhibition at Attraction Hall, 6th Floor, and Zone 2: 100% Doraemon River Park Exhibition at River Park, G Floor.

After entering Zone 1, visitors will realise that their adventure is about to begin when they see an image of Doraemon that appears to be walking to the Anywhere Door, a famous porthole that allows characters to teleport to any place and any time zone.

The first room is a theatre where visitors can watch a special seven-minute film made for this exhibition. In the movie, Giant, a bully, forces his friends to come see his poor singing performance. He also aims to participate in a singing competition in Thailand.
