Plot

Nobita has been vaguely indulging in fantasy for the past few days . When Doraemon saw the situation, he said, "I'm going to throw away the trash," and took Nobita to the trash dump. Then they find a strange stone statue that looks exactly like Doraemon and take it home. After that, Nobita was invited to baseball by Gian, but lost as usual and was blamed by everyone. At that time, Doraemon quietly confessed his longing for magic. Although the two did not take it seriously and consulted with Dekisugi, magic was established as an academic discipline in the past, but it was targeted for witch hunting as a method to borrow the power of the devil, while science developed. Nobita finds a stone statue that looks exactly like herself, as she is taught that magic has disappeared, no one understands it, and she cannot give up her dream and is depressed. Doraemon wonders when he sees their stone statue, but when Nobita speculates that he is "in another world that has been turned into a stone," Doraemon left the stone statue as it was. At midnight, when they heard a strange voice from the front door, they headed to the front door and the stone statue stood in a different pose. When he puts it in the storeroom again and returns to the room. Nobita requests Doraemon to give him the Moshimo-box and wishes for the world to become a place where the use of magic is possible. Witchcraft replaces science and technology and everyone makes use of it on their daily lives, However, in the realized "magical world", friends and family can use magic, but it is far from Nobita's expectations and imagination, and he has to receive school education to learn magic, and he has a license and a high price to operate a magic carpet. It was just a substitute for the foundation of civilization, which required Nobita, from science to magic. Except for Nobita, who, like usual, isn't very good at conjuring spells. However, even in this world, when Gian and Suneo make a fool of themselves, they are enthusiastic to return to the original world after learning at least one of the simple magics. Doraemon desperately cheers for Nobita's spirit, but an earthquake struck just before that. According to Shizuka, frequent earthquakes are related to a hypothesis of a doctor of magic, the theory of approaching the demon world. Suneo and Gian bullies the monkey, it burns the brooms and let them fall down. Shizuka puts to good use the magic to take to the house to cure them. Doraemon and his friends meet Professor Mangetsu (満月先生), who studies magic and magical beings such as goblins, in the mountains. Before they have cured, he said them drink some tea first. According to his research, the demons of the demon world are currently planning to invade the earth, and if nothing is done, humankind will be destroyed by demons with unimaginable magical power. And the earthquakes and huge typhoons that are approaching the world are the precursors. Being frustrated, he plans on returning things to their past state, but his mother threw the Moshimo-box away. After dinner, they quarrel to watch TV programmes, Nobita's father watchs news, about the massive typhoon is coming.
