Sweets Dance Princess is a completely new story, and is set in an alternate universe from the Jewelpet TV series.
The movie was first announced in February 2012 and it formally introduces the Sweetspets, who first appeared in the anime Jewelpet Sunshine, as well as other characters exclusively created for the movie. A short 30 second trailer of the film was streamed on March 1, 2012. A press conference of the film was held on March 30, 2012 which occurred at the Imperial Hotel, Tokyo to promote the film. Along the guest stars were child actress Mana Ashida and the designer of Hello Kitty, Yuko Yamaguchi. Yamaguchi stated that Ashida's singing and dancing is both cute and energetic and fits well with the movie's theme.
When released in cinemas, the movie was double-billed with the short film Onegai My Melody Yū & Ai.
Ruby and her friends are all headed to Sweetsland, the home of the Sweetspets, to celebrate Princess Mana's birthday with a festival. However, during the preparations, a strange object falls from the skies, containing a male Sweetspet named Gumimin. Unknown to everyone, he may be the only one who can save Sweetsland from impending chaos, and eat all the sweets in the land to help save it.
