Plot Summary: The world is threatened by Mephisto, the King of Minor Land, who tries to spread the Melody of Unhappiness. Mephisto is after the Legendary Score, in which the Melody of Happiness is written. 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.


The problem is that the result feels like A1 Pictures has paid a little too much attention to the works of Hayao Miyazaki (among some other notable directors) to the point where you begin to sense a lack of originality or innovation. The film's opening - set in a rural environment and based primarily around two young girls (Amane and Natsuki) encountering a strange but friendly creature – is instantly reminiscent of My Neighbor Totoro. As the story shifts to the moon, and the focus is more on the group of five kids trying to find work, it is again impossible not to be reminded of the themes of children having to take on adult responsibilities presented in Spirited Away. And then, as everything suddenly changes pace and scale again as the group is forced into travelling across the galaxy on a deep space express train, the movie is undeniably taking cues from Leiji Matsumoto's 1970's classic Galaxy Express 999.
