The official website of Eiga Yo-kai Watch: Sora Tobu Kujira to Double no Sekai no Daibōken da Nyan! (Yo-kai Watch The Movie: The Flying Whale and the Grand Adventure of the Double Worlds, Meow!), the third Yo-kai Watch film, began streaming a trailer for the film on Thursday. The trailer shows the hybrid live-action/anime concept of the film, showing many of the anime's familiar characters in their live-action counterparts.

The film's story is set in both an anime and a live-action world and will open in Japan on December 17. Child actor Ryōka Minamide will play main character Keita Amano in the live-action parts of the film. A new Yo-kai named Koala-nyan will be key to the plot of the double worlds.

Level-5 president and CEO Akihiro Hino is serving as the executive producer for the film and is also writing the film's script.

Eiga Yo-kai Watch: Enma Daioh to Itsutsu no Monogatari da Nyan! (Yo-kai Watch The Movie: Great King Enma and the 5 Stories, Meow!), the second film in the franchise, opened in Japan last December. The film topped the Japanese opening of Star Wars: The Force Awakens in attendance, although not in box office gross, during its first week. The film stayed at #2 for five straight weeks.
