In this movie, Nobita creates a world where magic exists. He and his friends then have to fight literal demons. Out of the Doraemon films I saw when I was little, this one may well have been my favorite, and I think it still holds up very well on a rewatch. It's certainly one of the most thrilling adventures in the series, with an eerie mystery set up at the beginning of the story, a couple of potentially surprising twists and turns in the plot, and even a fake-out ending.
There are still quibbles one can raise with the story, but I don't think they severely detract from the enjoyment of watching this movie. If anything does bother me about this film though, it's the tasteless recurring "gag" that Nobita's magic only works when it's to sneak a peek under Shizuka's skirt...
