Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })What Am I for Momotaro is a 1981 Doraemon short movie, released theatrically as a double-bill with 21 Emon.Nobita is in the middle of summer break when he, with the rest of the gang, comes across a Dutch scholar seeking the true backstory of an ancestral photograph his family has been keeping for the past 600 years, with the trails leading the Dutchman into Tokyo. A photo depicting the main characters of the Japanese legend, Momotarō, in a weird, mid-jumping pose, for some reason... and out of curiosity, Nobita and Doraemon - alongside Gian, Suneo and Shizuka - decide to leap into the Time Machine in Nobita's bedroom, travel to Meiji-Era Japan, and find out if the Momotaro myth is fact or fiction.This short was notably adapted from the manga story, "I'm the Momotaro", originally a crossover with the obscure Fujiko Fujio comic, Bakeru-kun. Due to the latter's lack of popularity note  Bakeru-kun doesn't even have a page on The Other Wiki for crying out loud , when adapted into an OVA it becomes a Doraemon-centric episode.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })A level of Doraemon 2: SOS! Otogi no Kuni is based on this OVA, where Nobita gets to reprise his role as Momotaro.See also Doraemon: The Record of Nobita's Parallel Visit to the West, a similar entry in the same franchise, with the gang time-traveling into the past to discover the truth behind another work of Asian literature.

Adaptation Distillation: In the original manga story "I'm the Momotaro", the Time Machine suffers a malfunction when arriving in Meiji-Era Japan, which Doraemon attempts hiding from the others until late into the story, but then they discovered Doraemon's time-traveling probe (sent into the past earlier on) and grabs hold to it in order to return. The OVA have the time machine undamaged all the way, after uncovering the truth behind the Oni and Momotaro the gang just returns home in a perfectly functioning time machine.
