Doraemon: Nobita's Great Adventure in the Antarctic Kachi Kochi

Doraemon and Nobita head toward a frontier chasing a rumor of ancient tech and impossible discoveries. While exploring a crevasse, they uncover a gleaming golden ring tucked under the frozen crust, its symbol pulsing with a strange light. The ring seems to open a doorway to a hidden city buried beneath the Antarctic snows, a civilization that vanished long ago but left traces of marvels and warnings. As they investigate, the duo pulls in their friends Shizuka, Gian, and Suneo, along with a suite of suspect gadgets from Doraemon's pocket that complicate the trek rather than simplify it.
