Precure All Stars: Singing with Everyone The Miraculous Magic is the 20th film overall in the franchise and its the first to feature the Mahoutsukai Precure without Kotoha as it is chronologically set during the early stages of the series on this occasion they will have a leading role. As happened in the past with other teams they will be the newbies of the situation so theyll clearly be the weakest but theyll manage to make their mark. Heres a brief summary of the plot: the movie opens with the two aiming to improve themselves as Precure. They immediately meet the Princess Precure and Liko very carelessly shows her magic something I wouldve expected more from Mirai than from her. After defeating a copy of Dyspear Trauma separates the girls taking them to another world. Thanks to the help of Echo the Happiness Charge the Doki Doki and other leaders Mirai and Liko manage to hold on but all the other Precure are captured. Through dialogue they still reach the heart of the one presented as the other antagonist Sorciere. The final battle against Trauma then takes place and he will be defeated thanks to everyones contribution. Peace returns and the Precure reunite to watch the hanami together. Honestly I consider it one of the best All Stars films Ive seen. It manages to blend a somewhat serious main plot with various gags in a much more organic way than the Precure films from that period also offering good fight scenes. Similarly to Haru to Carnival it features musical elements but this time the songs are not the main highlight of the film though they are original and useful for expressing the characters emotions in a way thats engaging for kids the song sung by the two antagonists was a bit unnecessary but I get that it has a certain appeal for the target audience. Also I could never be unhappy hearing the voices of Rie Takahashi and Yui Horie. My favorite song was Exhausted Warriors which perfectly represents the feelings of Mirai toward Liko and vice versa as well as their sense of inadequacy in that situation by pure chance I had heard it for the first time literally two days before watching the movie from a Precure playlist. As I said I laughed a lot at certain gags like the chase of Mofurun Co. in disguise the Cures in prison singing with Marine insulting them the four leaders striking their poses and saying the names of their different teams everyone being shocked that the Mahoutsukai can use magic and more. I really liked Mirai and Liko right from the start determined to improve themselves. In the whole first part due to their weakness they were overwhelmed by the many enemies that kept showing up and only the intervention of the other Precure saved them from worse trouble. It was very sweet that Mirai also developed a nice relationship with Lulun after accidentally scaring her with a greeting. Seeing the attitude of the others they will understand that to be real Precure they must never give up in the face of difficulty and will regain the will to fight. By singing together the two sense each others presence reuniting in a very sweet hug. Ive already recounted the rest but I really appreciated their empathy and their ability to connect with Sorciere through song and also the fact that theyre very cool on their own. Regarding characters from other series I liked that the moment when these events happen is contextualized for the Princess Precure. The entrance of the Doki Doki and the Happiness Charge was rather impactful and thats where we saw some of the best choreography in the film. I liked seeing Melody Happy Blossom and Peach working together especially during their combined attack which wouldnt have been as unified without Miracle. An honorable mention goes to Cure Echo whom I didnt expect to see again in such a relevant role: shell be the one Liko will interact with the most. During the ending shell even have her own 3D model and a special place in the choreography. As I mentioned I liked the role of Mofurun Aroma and Pafu they escaped from Trauma in a rather funny way which made it easier for me to accept the use of the Miracle Light. Final enemies from previous series also returned as memories so they were stripped of what little personality they had my apologies to the bosses from Yes 5 Go Princess Suite Fresh and Heartcatch novel for the undeserved dissing. As for the battles as mentioned the best moments for me come thanks to the Doki Doki although the rest of the film also maintains a good level. The finale has some CGI sequences due to the large number of characters involved but I can overlook that. What I appreciated about the final ending was how everyone was included and how cute the girls models were. The last element I have left to analyze is the original characters. Ill start with the true antagonist Trauma. Depending on the situation he can be involved in comedic moments but fortunately he can also be cruel and a real threat to the Precure. He is extremely manipulative to the point of exploiting Sorcieres emotional fragility to convince her to capture the Precure and take one of their tears hiding from her the fact that his real plan was to recover his full powers. Particularly striking are the way he convinced the girl and his desire to put himself on her same level since she agreed with harming the Precure. Lastly its Sorcieres turn. Her goal of resurrecting her teacher is a sign of the madness and damage that lack of communication can cause. Its clear that the teacher loved her student but encouraging such obsession was madness. Their story remains quite beautiful and mature. I liked that there were also visions of her as a child meant to represent the love they had for each other. She has a nice design and it was moving to see her understand the true meaning of the lullaby thanks to the interaction with Mirai and Liko. The fact that in the initial flashbacks the teachers face was obscured and then she remembered it was a nice touch. Its also interesting that just as Sorciere was raised by someone after being alone she will decide to do the same with someone else.
