An anime variant of the Pied Piper story, this one-hour movie pits the pretty soldiers against Queen Valdiana, who wants to put the world to sleep in order to harvest dream energy. Aimed at younger Sailor Moon fans, the film puts the ultra-cute Chibi-Usa at the center of the fairy-tale plot (she's Sailor Moon's yet-to-be-born daughter, sent back from the future for reasons too complicated to explain). Nevertheless, there's enough wacky humor and superpowered action (including an appearance by Sailor Uranus and the other Outer Senshi) to keep all ages interested. The opening sequences look wonderful--a flying ship comes to carry away the children who have been hypnotized by a flute-playing fairy--and the haunting music in this subtitled version adds a little extra chill to the atmosphere. Sailor Moon Super S may not contribute much to the ongoing arc of the Sailor Moon story, but as a self-contained movie it's a lot of fun. Ages 7 and up. --Simon Leake
Description
The Magical Dream Vortex! Sailor Soldiers, please save the children's dreams! The wicked Badiyanu has come to capture all the children to gain enough power to absorb the earth into her Black Dream Hole. The Black Dream Hole is located in the center of Badiyanu's castle and absorbs all the dream energy from the children. The more children Badiyanu kidnaps, the larger the dream hole gets. Once it reaches a certain size it will be large enough to swallow the planet, sentencing all the people to eternal sleep in evil dream boxes! When Badiyanu finds out Mini Moon has an enormous power that will greatly assis her in her quest, she kidnaps Mini Moon along with the other children. Will Sailor Moon and the Sailor Scouts reach Mini Moon and the Children in time? Or will Bdiyanu prevail in drawing the earth into the eternal Dream vortex?

As the third consecutive Sailor Moon film, SailorMoon:SuperS features an absolutely lovely musical score, and is without a doubt the most beautifully animated SM adventure yet! It's obvious the studio put a lot of money into this production. It also has an incredibly charming opening credit sequence that is probably the cutest part of the entire film series! The fairly straightforward plot introduces the evil Lady Vadiane, a giant magical being who sends her 3 Fairy minions to Earth to capture children. She plans to use their 'Sugar Energy' to power a giant black hole with which to absorb the entire Earth! After Chibi-Usa (Rini) is captured in one of the raids, it's up to the Sailor Team to rescue her and save the world yet again. Some familiarity with the original series might be helpful before watching since the girls all have new attacks, and new Senshi and a new feline character have been added to the cast. It's not absolutely necessary though. There is some implied nudity in the form of drawn outlines of the girls bodies in rainbow colored energy forms. But parents would probably be hard-pressed to find this one scene offensive for younger viewers. In fact, it's probably younger fans who'll get more out of this one, with it's colorful attacks, cute production designs, and nonstop action. For more mature SM lovers; aside from the usual powerful bonds between the girls, some fun moments with Usagi(Serina) and her long-suffering boyfriend Mamoru(Darien) and the usual comedic bickering between Chibi-Usa and Usagi, there isn't a whole lot here. Good heros need good enemies and in this case, Vadiane just doesn't cut it. She's a very powerful being, but an extremely one-dimensional one. There's no explaination of exactly WHY she wants to destroy the Earth, other than just being evil. This really hurts the films sense of drama, as the evil Queen just becomes another straw figure to be easily knocked over by Usagi and friends. It's such a pity that an otherwise fine production has to fall down in this one respect. I know it can be difficult to creat an interesting character with less than an hour of screentime to work with, but surely a few throwaway lines couldn't have hurt. All in all though it's a good adventure to add to your Sailor Moon collection, but definately purchase the R and S movies first.
 My Favorite Sailor Moon Movie! January 18, 2000

O.K. I've seen all three Sailor Moon movies and this is definately my favorite one! For all of you people out there that live in North America and haven't seen any new Sailor Moon stuff this is the movie for you! It has all of the scouts (except Saturn ^.^)in their new uniforms and they have new powers. The movie is centered on Chibimoon,in case you don't like Chibimoon, but it's still a great movie. One of my favorite parts was when Usagi asked Mamuro who he loved most, her or Chibi. Well, the movie is about Peruru, a fairy boy, and how he doesn't want to take little kids and put them in a dream world. He meets Chibi and he feels, now more than ever, that kids shouldn't be put into a dream world. Eventually Chibimoon gets kidnapped and its up to the scouts to save her and the other kids. I wont tell you how it ends, since it's better to see the movie than me telling you. I hope you enjoy Sailor Moon SuperS as much as I do.
The Sailor Moon SuperS Movie Rocks! May 28, 2000

This will be the best movie ever because this is the finale movie of the Sailor Moon movies! This is the best by far. I love it. I saw the subtitled one and it was great. The transformation powers are Crystal and Sailor Moon and Mini-Moon are in Crisis Mode! The OuterS are here too. But just a little cameo! I think you will love it! You better buy it! This is the best movie of them all!
