** Despite the Dinosaur Hunters being legitimately dangerous villains, the movie's stakes are actually smaller in scale involving only Nobita and gang exposed to dangers. Later movies involves the gang preventing apocalyptic threats, either on earth or another newly-introduced world (compare the [[Anime/DoraemonTheRecordsOfNobitaSpaceblazer next movie]] where Doraemon and Nobita must stop a ''planet'' from being detonated) or preventing villains from the future from rewriting history.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Expected from the first movie in the franchise. The major conflict of the story (Nobita and friends getting stranded in the past) doesn't happen until halfway through, with the story's first half following the usual SliceOfLife antics from the anime shorts. Nobita and friends also seems somewhat reluctant to partake in this adventure (visibly hesitating when Doraemon tells them maybe they should spend a few days camping in Prehistoric times while trying to hide the fact that their TimeMachine is broken), in comparison to later movies where they JumpedAtTheCall straightaway. The animation for the 1980 original also resembles closer to the TV series, since it takes a while before the franchise applies AnimationBump on their theatrical movies, which the remake rectify with bigger animation budget.

** Doraemon movies are known for throwing Nobita and pals into dangerous situations, where they then arm themselves to the teeth with assorted gadgets and begins kicking ass. So it might seem odd nothing like that happens in this one; most of the adventure involves Nobita and gang traveling across the Cretaceous landscape and actually fleeing from dangers, with the only gadgets featured being the Takecopter, Momotarō capsules and [[ShrinkRay Shrink Light]] [[note]]also the Shrink Light is used for utility purposes, namely shrinking and enlarging Piisuke for Nobita to carry; future stories would instead use the Shrinking Ray as a weapon[[/note]]. Even the climatic final battle doesn't play out like other movies - Doraemon and Nobita merely intends to steal the Dinosaur Hunter's TimeMachine and escape, only for DeusExMachina to kick in when they met the same T-Rex they fed the Momotarō capsules earlier; in subsequent films the gang would instead utilize weapon-based gadgets like the Stun Pistol and Air Cannon and fight their way in and out.

* WokenUpAtAnUngodlyHour: This series has Nobita, currently having a fever, being awakened by the titular pet dinosaur, Piisuke, when it wandered out from a lake in the park during a rainy night, all the way to Nobita's bedroom, interrupting Nobita's sleep by tapping on the windows. Cue Nobita jolting awake and having a massive OhCrap at his dinosaur wandering around in the open.

* {{Trumplica}}: The more recent anime adaptations of the movie featuring Dolmanstein (a billionaire who collects taxidermized dinosaurs and employs ruthless hunters to kill for sport) seems be modeled based on pre-President-era UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump, looking a lot like Trump's anime counterpart.

Correct the videogame tie-in info


The movie receives a 2006 remake which mostly repeats the beats of the original story, but with more action scenes added. There's also a Japan-exclusive RPG based on the manga (released around the same time as the 2006 remake) and an adaptation for the Nintendo Switch.

* RashPromise: Early in the story, Nobita, after being refused a closer look at Suneo's dinosaur fossil collection while at Suneo's house, angrily announces that he's going to find a ''real'' dinosaur. He did, eventually, when he picks up a fossilised egg at random and reverts it with the Time Cloth. When Suneo and Gian repeatedly taunts Nobita about his promise to produce a real, living dinosaur (oblivious that Nobita does have a pet plesiosaur, the baby Piisuke), an angered Nobita rashly shouts that if he's lying, he'll eat spaghetti with his nose. Little did he know Gian and Suneo remembered that promise ''after'' Nobita had released Piisuke into the Cretaceous.
