The film is set in Obake Town, a town where everything can change into something else. Anpanman and the others receive an invitation to the town's Bakeru Carnival, where those skilled at transforming can use their skills to entertain people. However, a resident of the town named Dororin is unskilled at transforming, and is unable to enjoy the Carnival from the bottom of his heart. He has a chance meeting with Cream Panda and strike up a friendship. Together, they venture into a forest in search of the Black Cape, said to hold the world's greatest powers of transformation. But Baikinman is also after the cloak for its power that will allow him to rule Obake Town. Now it is up to Anpanman, Cream Panda, and Dororin to protect the town.

Where it came from
Released in 2022, Anpanman: Dororin and the Transformation Carnival is the 33rd feature-length film in the long-running Soreike! Anpanman series, which began as a picture book by Takashi Yanase in 1973. Produced by TMS Entertainment, the film continues the studio's decades-long tradition of adapting Yanase's gentle, altruistic tales for the screen, focusing on the titular hero's commitment to protecting the weak and feeding the hungry, even at the cost of his own head.
The film follows the character Dororin, a shape-shifting creature who struggles with the ability to transform effectively, eventually befriending Anpanman during a festival. The animation maintains the signature clean, rounded aesthetic established by the series' long-term production style, prioritizing accessibility for young children while emphasizing themes of self-acceptance and the value of finding one's unique path. It was released theatrically in Japan to favorable reception from the series' core demographic, remaining a staple of the franchise's enduring cultural footprint.
