I don't mind Haru no Carnival but it was definitely the worse All Stars movie in the franchise to me. To me, Toei threw out what was good about the All Stars franchise and decided to bring in a musical theme to try and catch the kids attention due to all the hype about idol like anime nowadays. I love music and idols but they really didn't need to put the whole idol aspect in the movie to catch the children's attention. They could have done something totally different. The villains where just there to create comedy. I'm sick to death of villains being used as comedic reliefs. I want some serious villains for once, TOEI! The whole 95% of characters not speaking doesn't bother me due to how busy the vice actor's schedules could be and also the number of Cures there are. The animation doesn't bother me either as that's been going on since DX 1. The battle wasn't even a battle in my opinion. It lasted only 3 minutes! That is so...short! Far too short for something that Pretty Cure is known for. Due to focusing on the stupid musical plot, the battle got put to the side and it felt so forced, like Toei just remembered at that time that Pretty Cure is a magical girl series and needed an "awesome" battle that turned out...horrible and short.
