Grant Your Wishes: Fairly Odd Parents X Doraemon

I drew these fan art drawings and combined it here to discuss an oddly similar premise of the series in certain part, which is granting the wishes of the child/ little boy as the protagonist in the story.

Firstly, Fairly Odd Parents, a nickelodeon cartoon series which shares a story of a young boy Timmy who has a couple of fairies as his 'parents' while his real parents were busy with their lives. They often granted his wish with their magic stick. 

Meanwhile Doraemon is a Japanese anime series about a robot cat which came from the future and stays at a young boy named Nobita. Doraemon provide futuristic advance tools to counter any problem Nobita had in his daily life.   

All the more obvious things in their stories are about sharing the common premise of a young boy with his childhood problems such as lack of love from their parents, being bullied by friends, lack of self confidence, daydreamer and more. 

However, the moral value of the story is that nothing can replace what should be there for them and their childhood, not even granting their wishes to fill the void and turn it into real happiness they need. This is my personal point of view as an adult though. Who knows perhaps the creator only want to describe what ifs scenario for children entertainment if they ever get some miracles like this in their lives and I think too much about it.
