Pretty Cure All Stars (プリキュアオールスターズ,PuriKyua Ōru Sutāzu) is a series of Japanese anime films produced by Toei Animation based on Izumi Todo's Pretty Cure anime television franchise. Each movie features a storyline which crosses over characters from all Pretty Cure anime series to date. From Dream Stars onwards,the films instead feature Cures from the current series and the previous two series. However,All Stars F returns to the initial format by featuring all 78 Cures. As of September 2023,there are currently 14 main films in the series,All Stars movies are generally released shortly after the premiere of a new Pretty Cure television series. The most recent Pretty Cure team at the time of release generally has the largest involvement with the movie's plot. In the opening scenes of each movie,a running gag occurs,in which the most recent Pretty Cure team bump into older teams by accident. As well,the fairies of Pretty Cure teams know each other as friends. With the exception of A Strange Day With Everyone ,each movie to date utilizes Miracle Lights,which are small flashlights handed out to audience members during screenings,with the finale encouraging viewers to wave their lights to support the Cures 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.
