Doki Doki! PreCure: Mana is Getting Married!!? Dress of Hope for the Future is the 15th Pretty Cure movie, based on the Doki Doki season. It premiered in theatres on October 26th, 2013.
After receiving a wedding dress that had been passed down from her grandmother and mother, Mana is thrown into the past days of her childhood, back when she still had her grandmother and old dog around. However, she soon finds that Rikka, Alice, and Makoto are missing, since the memories have been altered, and she must set things right.
In the lineup of Pretty Cure movies, it is preceded by Smile Pretty Cure The Movie Big Mismatch In A Picture Book and followed by Happiness Charge Pretty Cure Ballerina Of The Doll Kingdom.
Tropes:
- Art Shift: As tradition, the ending dance is animated in CGI, while the rest of the film is 2D.
- Bloodless Carnage: Averted; this was the first Pretty Cure movie to actually show blood, as Cure Heart's face is bleeding when she gets bit by Mallow.
- Fairytale Wedding Dress: The titular dress, a huge, beautiful white gown that has been passed down to Aida women for at least three generations.
- Sir Not-Appearing-in-This-Trailer: Due to the movie's release occurring before her release in the series, Aguri is not seen in the trailers.
- Time Travel: Mana travels several years into the past, to her childhood.
