, alternatively titled Tip and Run! Pig Hoof Battle!', is a 1998 animated feature and the sixth film adaptation derived from the widely acclaimed Crayon Shin-chan franchise. It debuted in Japan on April 18, 1998.
Plot
The story centers on secret operative Orioke, who absconds with a critical disk required to activate a covert weapon from the Pig's Hoof airship during an excursion with Futaba Kindergarten. Orioke, alongside Shinnosuke and his companions Kazama, Masao, Nene, and Bo, are captured aboard the airship. An agent from SML begins intelligence gathering to facilitate their rescue, prompting the Nohara family to travel to Hong Kong to support the agent’s mission.
While held captive on the airship, Orioke refuses to surrender the disk to Pig's Hoof leaders—Barrel, Blade, Mama, and their chief Mouse—who subsequently relocate her and the children to their base of operations. Over the Tibetan plateau, Orioke aids Shinnosuke and his friends in escaping but remains imprisoned herself. The Noharas and Kin'niku crash nearby and continue on foot toward the headquarters, whereas Shinnosuke’s group unintentionally reaches the facility first.
Within the headquarters near Lake Manasarovar, Shinnosuke and his friends discover Dr. Obukuro’s hidden laboratory but are detected by surveillance systems. Mouse recovers the disk and launches a computer virus named Buriburizaemon designed to seize control of global networks. Dr. Obukuro dispatches Shinnosuke into the digital realm to counteract the virus; meanwhile, Himawari disrupts its operation from outside.
Shinnosuke calms Buriburizaemon by narrating "Buriburizaemon's Adventure," which causes the virus to dissipate. Orioke defeats Mama, eradicating the virus completely. Mouse activates self-destruction protocols; Kin'niku commands evacuation as they flee aboard an overloaded airship. A spectral form of Buriburizaemon appears briefly to assist their ascent before vanishing.
After resolving the crisis, Kin'niku and Orioke remarry and join the Nohara family for a picnic outing. Reflecting on their experience, Shinnosuke sketches Buriburizaemon’s adventures as a symbol of their triumph over Pig's Hoof’s menace.
