  • Comment: The sources largely show that the film exists, not that it is "notable" in Wikipedia jargon. The Seiun Award nomination contributes to notability, but more sources are needed, such as reviews of the film's content (plot, characterisation, cinematography, acting etc.) in (inter)national newspapers. — Bilorv (talk) 21:53, 31 March 2023 (UTC)

Pretty Cure Miracle Leap: A Wonderful Day with Everyone[3] is a 2020 Japanese animated action fantasy film based on the Pretty Cure franchise created by Izumi Todo. The film is directed by Toshinori Fukuzawa, written by Isao Murayama, and produced by Toei Animation. The film was released in Japan on October 31, 2020.[4]

Marking the thirteenth entry to the Pretty Cure All Stars crossover film series, the Healin' Good Pretty Cure team joins Hug! Pretty Cure and Star Twinkle PreCure teams to stop an evil spirit that's repeating the same day.

Plot edit

Nodoka wakes up on Saturday morning, and gets ready to go to Hinata's house for a group study session. On her way there, she saves a child from getting hit by a truck, then encounters Hikaru, who is on her way to find a mysterious kappa with her friends. Moments later, she encounters Hana, who is on her way to the hot springs with her friends. As she arrives, Rabirin, Pegitan, and Nyatoran are greeted by a spirit named Miraclun, who is currently being chased by an evil spirit named Refrain. Hana and the others transform and fights off the time monsters. As Refrain almost gets the best of them, the Star Twinkle PreCure and Hug! Pretty Cure teams arrive, transform and fights off the monsters. In his last moment, Refrain reverses the time.

Nodoka wakes up again, realizing that all was a dream, until she notices the familiar pattern as she had with the previous morning, including her encounters with Hikaru and Hana. At Hinata's house, the group realizes that they're the only ones that remembers. Miraculun, through the stethoscope, explains that it was due to the Miraclun Lights that Rabirin and the others had received earlier. The group encounter Refrain again, and the Star Twinkle and Hug! teams appear again to assist them. Despite their best effort, Refrain overpowers them, and takes Miraclun as he reverses time again.

The same morning again, Nodoka and the others meet up and makes their move: Chiyu and Hinata will each persuade the Star Twinkle and Hug! teams, while Nodoka will face Refrain, as she realizes that his hideout is at her mother's old elementary school. Revealing that he does not want the time to move forward, he attacks Grace, but Fontaine and Sparkle arrives with the two teams. After the Cures defeat the time monsters, Refrain uses the energy from Miraclun to transform into a gigantic monster. He attacks the Cures, but with the power of the Miraclun Lights and the cheering Cures, Grace transform into Super Miracle Grace, and uses "Pretty Cure Healing Time Liberation" to defeat Refrain and free Miraclun.

The girls then have a picnic near the school, as Nodoka's mother explains to her that the school will be transformed into a museum. Nodoka then notices both Miraclun and reformed Refrain are watching over them near the clocktower.
