What they share

Both films are directed by Takahiko Kyougoku, and they both carry the cozy, foreign gem, playful mood tags, and they sit in Animation / Comedy territory.

What Crayon Shin-chan: Crash! Scribble Kingdom and Almost Four Heroes is

This one asks, what if a child's doodles could save the world? The floating Rakuga Kingdom, powered by doodles, sets its sights on Kasukabe to generate more energy. It's up to Shin-chan and his own drawings, the Almost Four Heroes, to stop them. It certainly delivers some frenetic animated battles.
