Plot
Cure Miracle and Mofurun's Magic Lesson!
Mirai and Mofurun have a magical lesson using the Miracle Lights, which gets out of hand as they start casting magic on each other.
Maho Girls PreCure! the Movie: The Miraculous Transformation! Cure Mofurun!
Mirai, Riko, Kotoha, and Mofurun attend a Grand Magic Festival, which takes place once every 100 years to celebrate the return of the Wishing Stone, which can grant a wish to whomever it chooses. The stone awakens and chooses Mofurun, who has no particular wish she wants to grant for herself. Suddenly, the festival is attacked by an evil bear known as Dark Matter, who steals the stone and captures Mofurun, hoping to use her wish to erase all magicians. While trying to escape from Dark Matter, Mofurun comes across a village of bears and befriends a black bear named Kumata, who the other villagers fear for his ability to use magic. When Mofurun attempts to return to her friends, Kumata reveals himself to be Dark Matter and states he will not harm the girls if she stays with him. As Mirai tells Mofurun her wish to always be with her, Mofurun's desire to be with her in return reacts with the Wishing Stone, transforming her into Cure Mofurun. Noticing that Kumata's anger comes from his loneliness, Mofurun sacrifices herself to try and get through to Kumata, who realizes that what he truly wanted was a friend. As Dark Matter's negative energy from Kumata becomes a dark entity, cancelling out everyone's magic and spreading chaos across the magical world, Mirai remains determined not to give up. Spurred on by Mirai's determination, the inhabitants of the magical world, including Kumata, unite their wishes together, resurrecting Mofurun and giving the Cures the power of the Hearful Styles to defeat Dark Matter. As the Wishing Stone disappears, along with Mofurun's powers, Kumata manages to start making friends of his own.

- Kumata (クマタ, Kumata), a black bear who wish to help people but flee because they fear him, this makes him bear a vendetta towards people and brainwashed by Dark Matter to take an appearance of adult bear wearing a mask. He captures Mofurun to help her make her wish come true but she escapes. He takes the form of a young bear to manipulate Mofurun until he reveals himself. He attacks the Cures but Mofurun lets herself be defeated to make him snap out of it. Dark Matter come out of his body and he help the Cures to face Dark Matter. After Dark Matter's death, he bid farewell to everyone and stay at Bear Village.
- Dark Matter (ダークマター, Dāku Matā),[8] the main antagonist of the film. An evil entity who brainwashes Kumata until Kumata strikes Mofurun and force him to reveal his true form. The Cures, with the help of Kumata, enter Dark Matter's body and defeat him with Heartful Rainbow. Once Dark Matter/Kumata realizes what he's done to Mofurun, his magic power turns into Shadow Matter (シャドウマター, Shadou Matā). The giant shadow creates magic circles everywhere in the Magic World from which lightning strikes that cancels magic and turns people into stone statues. When the girls, with the help of everyone's Miracle Light wishes, revive Mofurun and transform back into Cures, the giant shadow focuses on attacking them instead. With the help of the flare dragon, they break into the giant shadow and find an evil magic version of Dark Matter, Shadow Matter inside. After a fierce battle using all their transformations, the Cures use Mofurun's new Heartful Linkle Stone to perform Heartful Rainbow and defeat it.

When Dark Matter disrupts the festival and abducts both the Wishing Stone and Mofurun, he also turns the Flare Dragon into Shadow Dragon (カゲドラゴン, Kage Doragon) and flies away on it. Later, when the girls are looking for Mofurun, the Shadow Dragon shows up again and attacks them. Being the only one left who can do so, Kotoha transforms into Cure Felice and distracts it while the others go ahead to Dark Matter's lair. When Cure Mofurun is fighting an enraged Dark Matter while Mirai frees Riko, Cure Felice returns together with the Flare Dragon. The others are surprised to see it, but Felice explains how she discovered that the Shadow Dragon was actually the Flare Dragon, possessed by Dark Matter's shadows. She used Pink Tourmaline to get rid it of the shadows. After that, the Flare Dragon helps the Cures fly out of Dark Matter's lair. Later, it helps them break into the giant shadow to battle its core Pure Shadow Matter.
Production
This is the first film appearance of Cure Felice. It was also announced that the Cures' fairy Mofurun will transform into a film-only Cure in the film.[9][10]
In addition to the movie-exclusive Heartful Style (ハートフルスタイル, Hātofuru Sutairu), the film also features a movie-only Cure, Cure Mofurun (キュアモフルン, Kyua Mofurun).[11] It was reported that due to Mofurun being defined in the original setting as having no gender, she wears kabocha pants in order to give a neutral impression.[12]
