The slogan of the movie is "Save the world with Crayons". The ending scene is similar to the 1998 movie Crayon Shin-chan: Blitzkrieg! Pig's Hoof's Secret Mission where a friend asks Shinnosuke looking at his drawing "Who is he?" to which he replies "He is the hero of salvation".
Premise
The film's story features a "magical crayon," and centers around a floating kingdom called Rakuga Kingdom (the name is a pun on the word "rakugaki" meaning "scribbling"). The kingdom gets its energy from scribbles, but lately the scribbles are decreasing and the kingdom is in danger of collapsing. To save the country, the military started to capture and force children to scribble.[6]
