Shinchan: Our Dinosaur Diary is all set to release in all major Indian languages, marking the first film from the franchise to get a theatrical release in the country. The movie had its original release in August 2024 and is the 32nd film in the anime franchise.

In Our Dinosaur Diary, Shin-chan and his family visit an amusement park that has brought back dinosaurs from extinction. While visiting the park, Shin-chan befriends a baby dinosaur, which puts the very existence of the park in peril.

The release of Our Dinosaur Diary is to promote the planned theatrical release of the next entry in the franchise, Crayon Shin-chan the Movie: Super Magnificent! Scorching Kasukabe Dancers. The movie will be the first entry in the franchise set in India and is scheduled to release in October.

In the upcoming film, Shin-chan and the Kasukabe Dancers win a trip to India after a dance competition. During their journey, Shin-chan and his close friend Bo-chan stumble upon a mysterious nose-shaped backpack hiding a powerful secret. A sudden accident transforms Bo-chan into Bo-kun, a villainous figure whose newfound abilities threaten the world.

The film is directed by Masakazu Hashimoto, who has worked on several entries in the franchise, including Crayon Shin-chan: The Tornado Legend of Ninja Mononoke (2022). It is the 32nd animated film in the Crayon Shin-chan series.
