In order to complete the score and protect the world, new Precure girls stand up to collect the scattered notes of the Melody of Happiness.


However, to say that Welcome to THE SPACE SHOW just apes Ghibli films is also to do it a disservice. It has a much edgier attitude than any of Miyazaki's works, a more modern sensibility and a great sense of humour – it has more than one genuinely funny moment, especially in the opening act. It's also an undeniably beautiful looking film. From the opening scenes in Japan, through the futuristic shopping mall-like lunar city to its surrealistic climax it has some fantastically produced background art and design work. Throughout the story are littered many, almost awe-inspiring, crowd scenes featuring a multitude of bizarre and unique looking alien races, demonstrating a wide range of innovative and unusual character designs. Similarly it has some great action sequences, which despite the confusion of the plot are frequently tense enough to get the audience on the edge of their seats. It's easy to imagine that the care and attention put into the film's animation and all-around production value is the main reason the storyline feels so weak and badly paced at times, as though several plots have been awkwardly bolted together to link a series of already-created designs and set pieces.
