Philippine cinema chain SM Cinema revealed during the Cosplay Mania 2016 convention that it will open Eiga Crayon Shin-chan Bakusui! Yumemi World Dai Totsugeki (Crayon Shin-chan: Fast Asleep! Dreaming World Big Assault!), the 24th film in the Crayon Shin-chan franchise, in the Philippines on November 9.
SM Cinema revealed in June that the anime film is one of seven films it was considering to screen in the Philippines.
The film opened in Japan on April 16.
The film ranked #2 in the Japanese box office in its opening weekend, topped by Detective Conan: The Darkest Nightmare. Wataru Takahashi (Crayon Shin-chan films 17-23) returned to direct the new film, and comedian Hitori Gekidan (actor in Train Man, Fusé: Memoirs of a Huntress) wrote the film's script along with Takahashi. Voice actors Akiko Yajima (Shin-chan), Miki Narahashi (Misae Nohara), Keiji Fujiwara (Hiroshi Nohara), and Satomi Koorogi (Himawari) returned to voice characters in the film.
The 23rd film, Eiga Crayon Shin-chan: Ora no Hikkoshi Monogatari ~Saboten Daishūgeki (Crayon Shin-chan: My Moving Story ~Cactus Attack!~), premiered in Japan in April 2015.
The Crayon Shin-chan anime aired on IBC-13 in 2000. RPN-9 also aired the anime with a Tagalog dub.
