### Story
The film is an original theatrical story rather than an adaptation of a manga arc. While making cookies at Makoto's apartment, the girls tease Chibiusa over her badly shaped cookie. Hurt, she takes the cookie into town and meets a mysterious boy named Perle (ペルル), who can make sweets dance with his flute, and gives it to him before they part.[1](https://eiga.com/movie/74118/) Around the same time, children around the world begin disappearing overnight in a series of unexplained incidents, and the strange flute melody draws Chibiusa out of her home as if in sleepwalking.[2](https://lineup.toei-anim.co.jp/ja/movie/movie_salor_supers/story/) • [1](https://eiga.com/movie/74118/)
Following her, Usagi and the other Sailor Guardians, together with Perle, who turns out to be Pupuran's younger brother, chase the boy Pupuran as he gathers the town's children onto a flying ship, and head for Badiane's castle, Torté.[1](https://eiga.com/movie/74118/) Badiane's plan is to use the energy of dream-filled children to grow the Black Dream Hole, swallow the Earth, and rule it.[1](https://eiga.com/movie/74118/) • [7](https://www.netflix.com/jp/title/60001990) Noticing the strength of Chibiusa's energy, Badiane drains it from her, and as Chibiusa weakens before her eyes, [Sailor Moon](https://www.edgepedia.org/sailor-moon), aided by her fellow Guardians and [Tuxedo Mask](https://www.edgepedia.org/tuxedo-mask) and by the energy contained in the cookie Perle kept, charges into the growing Black Dream Hole. Badiane is destroyed, and Chibiusa, rescued, gives Perle a kiss in return for his gift of the flute.[1](https://eiga.com/movie/74118/)
The enemies' forces include the Bonbon Babies, monsters summoned in battle.[2](https://lineup.toei-anim.co.jp/ja/movie/movie_salor_supers/story/) The film's premise, an enemy stealing children's dream energy, follows the *SuperS* television season, whose story centers on the Dead Moon's pursuit of Pegasus, who appears only in Chibiusa's dreams.[8](https://lineup.toei-anim.co.jp/en/tv/sailor_moon_ss/)

## Paired short film and home video
The theatrical program included *Special Present: Ami-chan's First Love, Sailor Moon SuperS Gaiden*, a 15-minute short directed by Takuya Igarashi focusing on Ami Mizuno's awkward first encounter with a rival top-scoring exam student who contacts her under the name "Mercurius" after she anonymously used the pen name "Mercury" on a mock exam.[6](https://eiga.com/movie/74084/) The two titles were later issued together on Japanese DVD (catalog number DSTD02117, released August 5, 2005), with a total color running time of 76 minutes for the feature and the 16-minute short.[10](https://shop.toei-video.co.jp/products/dstd02117)
## Availability and reception
In Japan the film has circulated on streaming services including Hulu and Netflix's Japanese catalog, which lists it as a kids' theatrical anime with the cast of Mitsuishi, Araki, and Furuya.[7](https://www.netflix.com/jp/title/60001990) • [11](https://www.hulu.jp/sailor-moon-supers-the-movie?detail=open) Aggregator scores are modest: Allcinema users rate it 4.5 out of 5 from 4 votes, eiga.com shows 3.7 from 2 reviews, and Filmarks records 3.7 from 1,838 user reviews.[4](https://www.allcinema.net/cinema/152737) • [1](https://eiga.com/movie/74118/) • [12](https://filmarks.com/movies/36735) Among the three 1990s *Sailor Moon* films, it is the last: Toei Animation produced theatrical films for the R (1993), S (1994), and SuperS (1995) seasons, and the movies, like the television series, tell side stories of the main characters rather than following the manga's main plot.[13](https://digibug.ugr.es/bitstream/handle/10481/77669/58546%281%29.pdf?isAllowed=y&sequence=4)
