Gotta love that perfect kinda day...
Polly Pocket: Lunar Eclipse (promoted as "Polly Pocket's first movie" or simply titled Polly Pocket) is the first special to feature Polly Pocket.

Polly and her friends are given a project on lunar eclipses, and Lila is worried as the project counts for one-third of their grade and if she does not do well, she'll be grounded and Polly's band, Polly and the Pockets, will be unable to play the school dance that week. So, Polly organizes a field trip to her family's South Pacific island where they witness a lunar eclipse themselves, go to a water park, and even rescue a baby dolphin. But when Beth, a classmate who is jealous of Polly, secretly sabotages Lila's part of the project, the girls must come together.

Tropes:

  • Accidental Misnaming: Beth calls Lila "Laura" when meeting up with her. According to Lila, she misnamed her multiple times before.
  • Animesque: The art style of the special.
  • Ask a Stupid Question...: Beth asks why she, Tori, and Evie can't play at the dance, and Evie points out that they don't have a band.
  • The Cameo: Scenes from My Scene specials can be seen on the computer in Polly's jet.
  • Dance Party Ending: The special ends with Polly and the Pockets performing "Perfect Kinda Day" at the school dance.
  • Didn't Think This Through: Despite sabotaging Lila's part of the project, Beth didn't know she would substitute it with paintings made by Ana.
  • Dull Surprise: Polly, Shani, Lea and Ana have this reaction when they realize Beth ruined Lila's part of the project:
    Lila: She told me she put a new roll of film in there! What, was it an accident or sabotoge?
    Polly, Shani, Lea and Ana: (dryly) Sabotoge.
  • Everyone Has Standards: During the school dance at the end, Evie and Tori abandon Beth to enjoy the Pockets' concert, leaving Beth all alone.
  • Flashback: Lila calls back the last time she did a report, which was so boring it made the whole class fall asleep.
  • Good-Times Montage: When Polly and her friends hang out at the water park on the island.
  • Karma Houdini: Beth receives no punishments for ruining Lila's part of the project.
  • Nap-Inducing Speak: The last time Lila delivered a report like the project Polly and her friends are assigned, the whole class fell asleep right when she started talking.
  • Oh, Crap!: Lila's reaction when Ms. Marklin announces the project will be one-third of their grades.
  • Slasher Smile: Beth flashes a brief one as she gets the camera for Lila out of her locker.
  • Take Our Word for It: The double-exposed pictures taken with the used film Beth put in Lila's camera were never seen, but we do get comments on them.
  • Total Eclipse of the Plot: The main theme of the special.
  • We Will Meet Again: Beth says this in the end.
    Beth: I'll get her one of these days, you can bet on it.
  • You Are Grounded!: This would happen to Lila if she does not do well on the project.
