Pretty Cure All Stars New Stage 3: Eternal Friends (Japanese: 映画 プリキュアオールスターズ New Stage ３ 永遠のともだち, Hepburn: Eiga Purikyua Ōru Sutāzu Nyū Sutēji Surī: Eien no Tomodachi) is a 2014 Japanese animated action fantasy film based on the Pretty Cure franchise created by Izumi Todo. The film is directed by Kōji Ogawa, written by Yoshimi Narita, and produced by Toei Animation. The film was released in Japan on March 15, 2014.[3]

Marking the sixth entry to the Pretty Cure All Stars crossover film series, as well as the final installment to the New Stage trilogy, the HappinessCharge PreCure! team joins the previous Pretty Cure teams in order to stop a dream-eating fairy.

Plot[edit]

EnEn and Grell from the Fairy Academy are tasked to investigate a new Pretty Cure team called HappinessCharge PreCure! team, and contacts the DokiDoki! PreCure team: Mana, Rikka, Alice, Makoto and Aguri to arrange a meeting. However, Glassun arrives and explains that Megumi and the other children are placed in a mysterious coma. With Blue's help, the girls and Hime enter the world of dreams, where they encounter Yumeta, a dream-eating fairy that are friends of EnEn and Grell. His mother, Māmu appears and cast the girls away from the Dream World, leaving EnEn and Grell's Pretty Cure book behind. Māmu later steals the book from Yumeta and ensnares and traps the Pretty Cures into their own dreams.

Realizing that Megumi and Hime aren't affected, they and the fairies infiltrate the Dream World to confront Māmu, but are later captured. Yumeta explains that his mother trapped the children in their dreams, just so that he wouldn't be alone in the Dream World. Megumi and Hime transforms and fights off Māmu's nightmares, and other Cures soon wake up from their dreams. With the power of the Miracle Lights and Blue's plead, the Cures join Lovely and Princess to the Dream World, and battles individual nightmares. With everyone's kind words, Yumeta conquers his fear and becomes a true dream-eater, and shows his mother the errors of her way. Māmu regains her senses, but are too weak to sends the nightmares away, and with EnEn and Grell's Miracle Lights, they summon Ayumi, and becomes her partner, who later transform into Cure Echo.

With the help of Echo, and Cure Honey, the Pretty Cures defeat the nightmare, allowing the children to wake up. As Yumeta promises to become a great dream-eater like his mother, EnEn and Grell writes about him, the HappinessCharge team, and Cure Echo.
