TOKYO – Stand by Me Doraemon, the latest in the hugely popular animated series, will be a 3D CG production directed by Takashi Yamazaki and 3D effects specialist and game creator Ryuichi Yagi, set for a summer 2014 release.
"I want the viewer to experience what it would be like if they could get their hands on Doraemon's gadgets, what they could do. It's like my own childhood dream, but with 3D you can do that," Yamazaki told local media.
When Japanese anime is transformed into a CG feature, you know that hand-drawn animation is truly over.

More union propaganda.

Japanese CGI anime's been done before. I don't think it will replace hand-drawn animation in Japan, though. All but one of the examples listed below attempt to mimick the look of hand-drawn animation:
Appleseed (2004)
Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children (2005)
Kakurenbo: Hide and Seek (2005)
Freedom (2006)
Appleseed Ex Machina (2007)
Coicent (2011)
009 RE:CYBORG (2012)
Arpeggio of Blue Steel (2013)
Hand-drawn animation will continue to endure (dominate?) in Televisionland.
