Interesting facts

HappinessCharge PreCure! the Movie: The Ballerina of the Land of Dolls is a 2014 Japanese animated action science fantasy film based on the Pretty Cure franchise created by Izumi Todo, and its eleventh series, HappinessCharge PreCure!. The film is directed by Chiaki Kon, written by Yoshimi Narita, and produced by Toei Animation. The film was released in Japan on October 11, 2014.

Production

Chiaki Kon was appointed as the film's director, the first one outside of Toei Animation. Producer Hiroaki Shibata, along with character design/drawing director Kazuhiro Ota, both outside-appointed, said:

It is also interesting to have the outside staff set up in the main, and it also stimulates people inside.

Kon was a fan of the previous Pretty Cure series, and had a dream of directing Pretty Cure. He asked Shibata to produce a performance from the previous year's DokiDoki! PreCure and became the film's director.

Yui Horie, Daisuke Ono, and Toshiyuki Morikawa voice the film-only character Tsumugi, Zeke, and Black Fang. Additionally, Funassyi, an unofficial mascot of the city of Funabashi, Chiba, appears as himself and was appointed as a support captain of this work.

The film had a large-scale tie-up with Yokohama City. In honor of the dolls being the motif of the story, a special display of doll goods was held at the Yokohama Doll House, and stamp rallies were held throughout the city. On October 5, the four seiyu attended a ceremony to light the ferris wheel at Yokohama Cosmo World pink.
