Shin-chan: Our Dinosaur Diary Coming to India TV on Oct 19

Pipos, get your popcorn ready — because this October 19 is going to be legendary. Our beloved troublemaker, Shin-chan, returns to Indian TV in “Our Dinosaur Diary”, the 32nd Crayon Shin-chan film, premiering on Sony YAY at 11:00 AM IST.

This isn’t just rerun territory — after its theatrical run in India this year, the film is now coming home to small screens, and nostalgia mixed with dino drama is guaranteed.

🦖 Dino Fever & Heartwarming Bonds

Let’s recap what makes Our Dinosaur Diary so special:

  • Originally released in Japan on August 9, 2024, this film is a theatrical entry by Shin-Ei Animation. 
  • In India, it debuted in cinemas on May 9, 2025 in multiple languages—Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Japanese with English subtitles. 
  • Box office: Worldwide gross is around USD 24.44 million (about $24,444,687) per BoxOfficeMojo. 
  • Story angle: Shin-chan’s dog Shiro befriends a baby dinosaur Nana. Their bond helps bring adventure, emotional growth, and trouble when dinos escape in Tokyo. 
  • Guest cast & crew: Takumi Kitamura voices Billy (a dinosaur researcher), and comedians Yū Hatanaka and Shunsuke Itō voice characters Chu and Ammoner. 

The film also won Best International Animated Feature Film at the Animation & More Summit’s Ann Awards 2025. 

🎬 Why This TV Premiere Matters (Especially to Pipos)

  • It’s first time this movie airs on Indian television — a chance to relive the magic without theater tickets.
  • Many Pipos who missed the theatrical version can now see Shin-chan’s dino adventure at home.
  • Indian TV exposure helps classic anime and films reach younger fans and sustain fandom culture.
  • It’s a celebration — after the 2025 “Shin-chan India Year” announcement, this premiere fits perfectly into the campaign. 

📺 What to Watch For on Oct 19

  • Keep the volume loud: emotional scenes, soundtrack, and dinosaur roars deserve it.
  • Look out for Nana and how the plot justifies her existence and bond with Shiro.
  • Watch how localization (Hindi / Tamil / Telugu) handles jokes, names, and dino talk — adaptation is always a fun puzzle.
