Plot

edit

Sora wakes up in a strange world, with Cure Summer and Cure Precious trying to save her from a monster. She then transforms into Cure Sky to assist them and defeats the monster. After it retreats, she befriends them and decides to head towards the mysterious castle.[a] Meanwhile, Tsubasa and Ageha have also befriended other respective Cures and try to head towards the same castle,[b] while Mashiro and her team[c] rescue a mysterious rabbit-like creature named Puka. Sora and her team encounters and befriends a mysterious Pretty Cure named Cure Supreme. A few days later, Sora's team and Mashiro's team are briefly reunited at a town, but not before Puka accidentally causes a pit after seeing Supreme's presence. However, Ageha's team reunites with Sora's, and they head towards the castle, while Mashiro's team also reaches the castle from underground.

At the castle, everyone's reunited and defeats Lord Ark, but confused as to why this was too easy for them. Supreme then attacks Macaron, and reveals everything: Supreme is an extraterrestrial entity that defeated the Pretty Cures and destroyed Earth, inspired by the united power of the Cures she decided to imitate as a human, and created Ark and Puka. But after failing to meet her expectation, she decides to destroy the world again, and succeeds in defeating most Cures, except Sky and Prism, who barely escape with Puka and Elle-chan. The duo decides to confront Supreme again and realize that she is the catalyst of recreating Earth and helps Sky, Prism and Majesty to bring back the other Cures to put the world into its rightful place. Miracle Lights appear, and with the power of harmonized love and friendship, all 78 Cures are revived. The Cures then combined their powers, with Puka transformed into Cure Puka and attack and purify Supreme.

Preme is revived as a human, and surprised that the Cures decided to be her friend at the end. Cure Puka helps Supreme understand that she always wanted a companion, as well as the meaning of determination, trust and friendship.

Production

edit

In March 2023, it was announced that a new Pretty Cure All Stars film was in the works, featuring the Cures from Soaring Sky! Pretty Cure.[7][8] In July 2023, it was announced that Yuta Tanaka and Jin Tanaka, whom previously worked on Go! Princess PreCure series, Witchy Pretty Cure! The Movie: Wonderous! Cure Mofurun! and Star Twinkle Pretty Cure the Movie: These Feeling within The Song of Stars films, will respectively serve as the director and screenwriter of the film, and would feature new characters named Cure Supreme voiced by Maaya Sakamoto, and its partner Puka, voiced by Atsumi Tanezaki.[9][10] Machico and Ami Ishii will perform the opening theme song, "For F",[11] while Ikimonogakari will perform the film's ending theme song, titled "Ureshikute" (うれしくて, lit. "Because I'm so Happy").[2][12]

In an interview with the film's director and chief animation director / character designer, Yuta Tanaka and Nishiki Itaoka respectfully, on October 6, 2023, noted how both teamed up on the film, original concepts for the film, challenges of having so many characters and different designs, methods for deciding which characters were on which teams, creation of the villain "Cure Supreme", message kids should take from the film, and possibility of this film being the final one for the franchise.[13]

Release

edit

The film was released in theaters in Japan on September 15, 2023.[2][14] On November 2, Toei Animation Europe exclusively screened the film at Cinema Centrale for fans at Lucca Comics & Games Convention, in Italy, along with three guests from Japan.[15][16]

In December, Neofilms began showing the film in Hong Kong.[17][18] On December 10, the film received a fan screening in Thailand, with regular screenings starting on December 14.[19][20][21]

Reception

edit

Box office

edit

The film earned 437 million yen in the Japanese box office in its three day weekend, making the highest opening weekend box office in the Pretty Cure franchise.[22][23] It also dropped from number 2 to number 3 in the top 10 box office rank in its second weekend.[24] By October 22, it had become the highest-selling film in the Pretty Cure franchise, beating Pretty Cure All Stars DX2: Light of Hope - Protect the Rainbow Jewel! (2010) and Hug! Pretty Cure Futari wa Pretty Cure: All Stars Memories (2018).[25]

Critical reception

edit

The film was received positively by critics. Timothy Donhoo of CBR called the film "something of a swan song for the likely soon-to-end anime", Soaring Sky! Pretty Cure.[26] Aman Goyal, also on CBR, argued that Prim undergoes a "transformative journey" while she tried to connect with other PreCures which are part of the Cure Sky team.[27]
