The film also marks the first Pretty Cure film to be presented as a musical, while the last in the series to be titled All Stars before the release of Hug! Pretty Cure Futari wa Pretty Cure: All Stars Memories in 2018.

Plot[edit]

The Witchy PreCure! team: Mirai and Riko come across Go! Princess PreCure team: Haruka, Minami, Kirara and Towa on their way to a flower viewing party. Just then, a sorceress named Solcière uses Haruka's memories to reawaken their enemy, Dyspear. As both Go! Princess and Witchy team transforms and join forces to fight against Dyspear, she is suddenly dispelled by a girl's singing. Solcière and her servant Trauuma, who plot to use Pretty Cure tears for a potion, then capture the Cures, taking them to another world.

Separated from each other, Cure Miracle comes across the HappinessCharge PreCure! team: Cures Lovely, Princess, Honey and Fortune, while Cure Magical encounters the DokiDoki! PreCure team: Cures Heart, Diamond, Rosetta, Sword and Ace, helping to protect them as they are targeted by Solcière's reincarnations of past foes, but end up getting captured alongside several other Cures. Later, Cure Miracle comes across Cures Peach, Blossom, Melody and Happy, with mascot Lulun, while Magical reunites with Go! Princess team, along with Cure Echo. Meanwhile, previous Pretty Cure teams, whom are currently captured in Solcière's lair, unsuccessfully makes their effort to escape, and Mofurun, Pafu, and Aroma come across the Miracle Lights that can be used to dispel evil. Struggling without their partners, Miracle and Magical come close to despairing but are encouraged by their fellow Cures to stand up and fight. Hearing the singing again, Miracle and Magical go off in search of its source, managing to reunite with each other and confront Solcière, who has captured all the other Cures. Overcoming Solcière's attacks, the girls learn that she was once a witch's apprentice who could never seem to get the admiration of her master before she died, seeking to use the Pretty Cure's tears to revive her and learn how to perform the ultimate spell.

Managing to obtain one of Miracle's tears, Trauuma reveals that his true plan was never to make a resurrection potion but instead to restore himself to his true form and spread darkness all over the world. Hearing the song of Miracle and Magical despite their injuries, Solcière sings the song taught to her by her master, which turns out to be the ultimate spell all along, healing everyone's injuries and giving power to the Cures. With the power of Solcière's song and the Miracle Lights, the 44 Pretty Cures combine forces and manage to defeat Trauuma. After the battle, Solcière decides to follow her master's footsteps and become a teacher. The Cures have their long-awaited flower viewing party, while being surprised that Mirai and Riko can use magic.
