Star☆Twinkle Precure: Hoshi no Uta ni Omoi wo Komete · review
Star Twinkle Precure as a season performed mediocre if not worse compared to many other seasons of the franchise, despite it was a season that I really enjoyed watching. So when it came to the movie, I didn't expect much. But it's exactly that which made me very thrilled and more glad I watched this movie. The story itself had a very interesting theme of having an alien named UMA get exposed to Earth life. That sense of fascination was satisfying and relaxing to sit through. And, to have UMA decide its perception of how Earth is like based on the things that happen around it isa very clever implication of how people are in the real world. I would know, because I am someone like that.
The insert song Twinkle Stars is one of my favourite songs of all time in Precure and while it may have repeated a similar trope of Go Princess' all-star movie it was a very fitting end to the story.
The movie also focussed on Lala's opinion as an alien living on Earth. It was an absolute fit for the character and showed her responsible, cautious side in addition to being a friendly and sweet girl. The fact that the season had thrown Cure Star out of the window for a unique take on having Milky seemingly breaking the typical Pink Cure spotlight trope of Precure made the movie's continuation of it fresh.
In a nutshell, I wouldn't exactly recommend the movie in comparison to some other Precure movies but for all the backlash the main season received, it elevated the status of its movie and made it a hidden jewel I was thrilled to uncover.
