Pretty Cure All Stars (プリキュアオールスターズ, PuriKyua Ōru Sutāzu) or PreCure All Stars is a series of Japanese anime films produced by Toei Animation based on Izumi Todo's Pretty Cure television anime franchise. Each movie features a storyline which crosses over characters from all the Pretty Cure anime series to date. As of March 2016, there are currently eight main films in the series.

Common elements

• In each movie, which is generally released shortly after a new Pretty Cure television series premieres, the most recent sets of Pretty Cures will often act as the main protagonists of the crossover. In the opening scenes of each movie, a running gag occurs, in which that all of the most recent sets of Pretty Cures bump into each other by accident. On top of that, all fairies of all Pretty Cure teams know each other as friends.
• With the exception of Spring Carnival, each movie to date makes the use of Miracle Lights, a small flashlight handed out to audience members during screenings, with the finale encouraging viewers to wave their lights to support the PreCures in defeating the main antagonist. The films often have a short segment instructing children on how to use their lights safely. These lights have also been made available for certain movies based on the individual series.

As Hibiki and Kanade end up meeting the other Cures, who were holding a fashion show at a flower mall, they soon find that their world and the various worlds of the Fairies have merged as a result of someone tampering with the Prism Flower, which links the worlds of humans and fairies. The culprit is soon revealed to be a group of villains revived by an evil force known as Black Hole, who is ultimately responsible for the creation of Fusion and Bottom. Whilst targeting the Prism Flower, the Cures are scattered by the villains into 3 respective battlefields, and recombined into 3 separate, respective teams, where they face off against their opponents. At first, they struggle to get themselves familiarized with their new settings, but eventually, they manage to overcome all of their trials, as they use their teamwork and strategies in order to defeat their foes. After managing to break free from these fields and defeating the revived villains, the Cures are overpowered by Black Hole, losing their transformation powers in the process. They are given the chance to transform again, but it would mean the sacrifice of the Prism Flower, meaning the Cures and Fairies would have to become separated.

Shortly afterwards, the Cures receive invitations to come to Fairy Academy for a party. Meanwhile, Mana, Rikka, Alice and Makoto receive a call from Miyuki and Candy informing them of the party, inviting them to come along as well. Meanwhile, at Fairy Academy, Shadow coerces Grell into capturing the Cures' fairy partners and transformation items, leaving them defenseless against attacking shadow monsters. After most of the Cures are defeated in this manner, Shadow turns his attention towards the Smile PreCures, using a PreCure guidebook to counter their every move and steal their Smile Pacts before imprisoning them in statues like the others. As En-En laments helping Shadow, Miyuki tells him not to worry and asks him to seek out help from the Dokidoki PreCure before being encapsulated herself. With assumedly no more Cures in his way, Shadow reveals his true intentions to destroy the academy and imprison all of its students, much to Grell's shock. Grell and En-En manage to find the DokiDoki PreCures and ask for their help in stopping Shadow. As the Cures fight Shadow's minions, Grell and En-En, assisted by Candy and Pop, manage to find the captured fairies and, with help from the fairy students who use the Miracle Lights, help return the stolen transformation items to the other Cures, allowing them to transform again and restore light to the fairy world. With support from the fairies, the Cures team up to fight against Shadow. As a last resort, Shadow combines all of his strength to become a giant spider, but he is ultimately defeated by the combined might of the Pretty Cure, reduced to his original size in the process. Realising the error of his ways, Grell befriends his shadow, who returns to his rightful place. As Grell and En-En become determined to become Precure fairies, the Cures help repair the academy before having a proper party.

Approached by the fairy, Ribbon, the girls learn that Megumi, along with several other children, has ended up in a mysterious sleep, with the guardian Blue believing a fairy's power is at work. With Blue's help, the Cures, along with Megumi's partner Hime, enter the world inside Megumi's dreams, where they encounter Yumeta, a dream-eater fairy friend of Grell and En-En's. Just as the girls realize all the children in this world are those who had fallen into comas, Yumeta's mother, Maamu, appears before them, stating her determination to protect Yumeta, and forces them outside of the dream world before using the Pretty Cure guidebook to ensnare all of the other Cures, trapping them inside their dreams. Being the only ones unaffected, Megumi and Hime infiltrate the dream world with Grell and En-En to confront Maamu, only to wind up getting captured. Yumeta explains Maamu had been trapping children inside the dream world so they wouldn't leave and forget about him upon waking up, leaving them with the key to escape. Showing Yumeta the dreams the other Cures are having, the girls show him that the important thing about having dreams is to fulfil them with your own power. As Maamu sends nightmares to attack Megumi and Hime, the other Cures realize the importance of fulfilling their own goals and, with help from the power of the Miracle Lights, break free from their dreams and join the battle. Gaining courage from everyone's words, Yumeta stands up to his mother and becomes a true dream-eater, showing Maamu the error of her ways. With Maamu too weak to overcome the nightmares she let loose, Yumeta joins the fight in her stead, giving the Cures the power to defeat the nightmares. The nightmares soon gather into a giant nightmare, which turns its attention towards the fairy. However, Grell and En-En's Miracle Lights call forth Ayumi, who becomes their partner and once again becomes Cure Echo who, along with Cure Honey, help the Cures to defeat the nightmare, allowing the children to wake up again. As Yumeta aims to become a great dream-eater like his mother, Grell and En-En write about him in the Pretty Cure guidebook so he won't be forgotten.
