PreCure All-Stars F is the PreCure series' 20th-anniversary offering where Sora (Cure Sky), Mashiro (Cure Prism), Tsubara (Cure Wing), and Ageha (Cure Butterfly) joined forces with their predecessors from the two Reiwa-era PreCure shows Tropical Rouge PreCure and Delicious Party!

From their comedic adventures, suspense-filled drama, and intense fight scenes, leading up to the fantastic grand finale, this movie is the fantastic proof that this is PreCure at its mightiest core and of course, there's no sign of slowing this franchise down. That's why the F stands for Fantastic but there's more to it than that.

The latest PreCure crossover film, titled PreCure Miracle Leap ~ Minna tono Fushigi na 1-hi, pits the latest installment of the PreCure franchise and the first for the Reiwa era, Healin Good PreCure, alongside its predecessors, HUGtto!

Having acquired their powers in the beginning of the series, Cure Grace, Cure Fontaine, and Cure Sparkle are putting their skills to the test by defending a mysterious fairy who holds the Miracle Light against Refrain, a powerful enemy plotting world domination. In their journey, they are joined by Cure Yell, Cure Star, and friends to make sure they'll keep Miracurun safe and defeat Refrain once and for all to save the world.

Two eras, three PreCure teams, one film. A miraculous recipe that got the whole family talking about and although better late than never, this film shows that our latest PreCure girls are off to their fresh start.

Star Twinkle PreCure: Hoshi no Uta ni Omoi wo Komete

The 2019 installment of TOEI's PreCure franchise, Star Twinkle PreCure, has proven to be a big hit among Japanese households and because of being one of the most successful children's TV shows of 2019, their biggest adventure comes to the big screen as the movie adaptation has proven that this show retains its magic tiaras for blowing out the shoujo anime competition to hot water.

Star Twinkle PreCure:
Hoshi no Uta ni Omoi wo Komete
We've seen Cure Star and friends travelled across different planets, meet new people, kick Notraider butts, collect Star Color Pens, and save the universe every Sunday mornings and now, the girls' big adventure has arrived in cinemas, just to show what our intergalactic superheroes can do next in the hopes to deliver the best family anime film of the Fall season.

In the movie, the girls encountered a mysterious UMA, which was been targeted by villainous space hunters, and then tag along for an intergalactic adventure like no other. While the space hunters are the least of their worries, the space cop Mary Ann is hot on their heels.

With new and exciting adventures this movie possess, the kids are getting the most out of this film as much as they loved the TV show, as well as the new outfits the girls will don during their mission to protect the UMA from space hunter threats.

Ever since this installment started last February, it unleashed a flood of popularity across social media, proving that it's TOEI's recipe for success of 2019, which is not bad for the last PreCure of the Heisei era but it's too much and worrisome for some who believe that this installment outran and outflanked every single shoujo anime stuff they loved.

Although the movie version of the super-popular PreCure installment doesn't have a red carpet treatment it deserved, it's still an unrivaled family anime film of the season and it gave them plenty of reasons why this show retains its magic tiaras for blowing out the shoujo anime competition to hot water but there is one very good reason why it is; everybody loves Star Twinkle PreCure.

PreCure Miracle Universe

Now that every family in Japan have introduced to the newest heroines from the newest PreCure installment for 2019, Star☆Twinkle PreCure, it's time for the girls to put their new magic powers to the test in this year's PreCure crossover movie where they are joined by their predecessors from two years past as they are set to save the universe from a certain evil.

PreCure Miracle Universe

PreCure Miracle Universe pits the newest PreCure installment, Star☆Twinkle PreCure, to an all new adventure as they team up with the heroines from Kira Kira PreCure A La Mode and HUGtto! PreCure to save the universe from a certain destruction and uncover the mystery of the Miracle Light.

Although Cure Star, Cure Milky, Cure Soleil, and Cure Selene are still fresh following last month's TV premiere, Japan's newest obsession still packing up some punches, kicks, and magic powers, something that their predecessors can't wait to witness them and while this film wasn't as big as last year's mega presentation known to PreCure fans many last fall, it really is one big reason why the newest PreCure installment is a cut above the rest of the shojo anime stuff we all know.

This latest PreCure film is a good showcase that every family in Japan is starting to love Star☆Twinkle PreCure more than any other shojo anime aired on TV and that really is a bottom line that really nailed it like their finishing moves.

Precure, nothing's more infinite than seeing your childhood memories joined forces for one last time in this mega movie presentation made as a build-up to Precure's 15th anniversary next year.

Hugtto! Precure ♡ Futari wa Precure
All Stars Memories

Precure ♡ Futari wa Precure All Stars Memories is every little girls and big sisters' dreams come true to witness Precure's greatest hits joined forces to defeat a powerful new villain.

In a record-breaking attempt, all 55 Precures from the franchise are assembled and whether if you're a seasoned Precure veteran or a newbie, it's like taking us to a little history lesson of the Precure franchise. From Futari wa Precure, there's Cure Black, Cure White, and Max Heart's Shiny Luminas. From Splash Star, there's Cure Bloom and Cure Egret. From Yes!

Anyway, because this film features a record-breaking roster of 55 Precures, you might think that this film will end up like the Infinity War last summer but this is no Infinity War. Oh no. this is Precure and despite being a film made for little girls and big sisters, it's explosive with cuteness and magic when the film hits the tipping point and when the girls go out after seeing this film, they will remember the most exciting day of their lives seeing their favorite magical superheroes come together for their explosive adventure like no other Precure All Stars film in the past.

Precure Super Stars!

Toei Animation's Precure franchise is reaching its 15th anniversary ever since the very first Precure TV anime series came out in February 2004. It maybe too early to celebrate Precure's 15th anniversary but in honor of 2018's recently aired Precure installment, HUGtto! Precure, the producers of the Precure franchise are giving the newest Precure heroines a chance to shine at the big screen alongside their predecessors, Kira Kira Precure A La Mode and Maho Girls Precure, in the new film.

Precure Super Stars!

It's called Precure Super Stars and this year's film is part of Precure's 15th anniversary celebration where it follows the tradition of past Precure crossover films that involves past and present Precure superheroines joining together to fight one of the most ruthless baddies known to them. Like it was mentioned, it brings three Precure installments such as Maho Girls Precure, Kira Kira Precure A La Mode, and the brand new HUGtto Precure in one magical adventure the whole family would enjoy. In the film, Hana Nono (also known as Cure Yell) faces off against a powerful supervillain plotting to spread darkness worldwide, but she is not alone though because while she, Cure Ange, and Cure Etoile are on a magical adventure to save the world, they get teamed up with their predecessors while making a fateful encounter with a mysterious Prince Clover.

This film packs twelve Precure superheroines in the film. Not only you got the newest heroines from the newest Precure series; Cure Yell, Cure Ange, and Cure Etoile, but also predecessors such as Cure Whip, Cure Parfait, Cure Gelato, Cure Custard, Cure Macaron, and Cure Chocolat from Kira Kira Precure A La Mode, and Cure Miracle, Cure Feliche, and Cure Magical from Maho Girls Precure. Just by looking at them joining forces in this film, you will realize that your five year old little girls are going to be super happy to see their past heroines coming back alongside the newest Cures to fight against a powerful supervillain bent on world domination. It's magical and because by PreCure standards, downright cute. Of course, this film is cute as well as the Cures' magical familiars tagging alongside them, especially the cute little baby Hugtan. 

Although not quite the dream team longtime PreCure fans are expecting for, this film is chance to show what these new Cures can do while teaming up with their predecessors. Yes, it's too much to talk about it but while this film packs too much cuteness to burn your eyes off, not to mention the musical number you can expect at this film, there's so much to love about this film even if you're new to the Precure franchise. It didn't do much justice for some but this is just the beginning and we can look forward to see what's next for the newest Cures post-film.

How can you say about this film? It's not just good, it's HUGTTO GOOD PRECURE!
