(Japanese: 映画プリキュアオールスターズDX2 希望の光☆レインボージュエルを守れ!, Hepburn: Eiga PuriKyua Ōru Sutāzu Dirakkusu Tsū: Kibō no Hikari☆Reinbō Jueru wo Mamore!) is a 2010 Japanese animated action fantasy film based on the Pretty Cure franchise created by Izumi Todo. The film is directed by Takashi Otsuka, written by Isao Murayama, and produced by Toei Animation. The film was released in Japan on March 20, 2010.[3]

Marking the second entry to the Pretty Cure All Stars crossover film series, as well as the second installment to the DX trilogy, the HeartCatch PreCure! team joins the previous Pretty Cure teams on protecting the Rainbow Jewel from an evil entity known as Bottom.

Plot

[edit]

The HeartCatch PreCure! team: Tsubomi and Erika receives an invitation from Chypre and Coffret to Fairy Park, where mascots and other fairies were working as they were handing out the Miracle Lights, and Coco and Nutts are presenting the Rainbow Jewel in their human forms. Then they encounter Fresh Pretty Cure! team: Love, Miki, Inori and Setsuna, whom are searching for other friends, which Tsubomi agrees to help. As exploring, Northa, Uraganos, Kintoleski and Mucardia appears before them. Both HeartCatch and Fresh team transforms, which shocks Blossom and Marine. As they're fighting, they learn that the villains were revived by an evil entity named Bottom, whom is seeking the Rainbow Jewel. As the latter Pretty Cures shows up, the villains retreat.

As the girls get to know each other, Bottom shows up and takes over the Fairy Park, separating the girls from their mascots. As other revived villains try to attack Tsubomi and Erika, each team assists them reuniting with Chypre and Coffret, one team at a time. As Blossom and Marine arrive where the Rainbow Jewel is located, Bottom absorbs the jewel and transform into a gigantic being. Remembering the promise that they've made, Blossom and Marine sparkle the Miracle Lights and all Pretty Cures receive Rainbow forms, and defeat Bottom with "Rainbow Jewel Solution". With everything back to normal, the girls enjoy themselves at the park.

In the post-credit scene, Tsubomi seems to freak out that she has woken up late, but Erika notices that the girls are waiting for them in front of their house.
