Starting in 2021, the *[Detective Conan](/wiki/Detective_Conan "Detective Conan")* [movies](/wiki/Movies "Movies") released in theatres began focusing on a designated theme every year; as such, covering all aspects of the plots in the introduction of each movie became increasingly challenging. To provide a better overview of the information to audiences, [TMS Entertainment](/wiki/TMS_Entertainment "TMS Entertainment") decided to promote **Compilation Movies**, also referred to as **Recap Movies**.

## Additional concept[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Compilation_movies&action=edit&section=1 "Edit section: Additional concept")]
Simply put, compilation movies are clip shows of *Detective Conan* episodes already broadcast, whereby they are re-compiled and re-edited together, with a time duration of approximately a normal movie[[N 1]](#cite_note-1). Normally, people would treat them as pre-movie "trailers".
The first compilation movie released was [The Scarlet Alibi](/wiki/The_Scarlet_Alibi "The Scarlet Alibi"), on the 11th of February, 2021. Initially, it was only planned to exclusively air for three weeks; however, due to the high opinions from the audiences, the screening time was extended beyond March 5 of the same year. It was later collected within the premium DVD/Blu-Ray of that movie.
Most of these compilations related to annual movie releases are scheduled for theatrical release; nonetheless, there was an exception in 2022, the year [Movie 25](/wiki/Movie_25 "Movie 25") premiered. The compilation was produced by the exact same staff yet was made into a TV Special and broadcast in the time slot of [Friday Road Show](/wiki/Friday_Road_Show "Friday Road Show"), under the title [Love Story at Police Headquarters ~Wedding Eve~](/wiki/Love_Story_at_Police_Headquarters_~Wedding_Eve~ "Love Story at Police Headquarters ~Wedding Eve~").

All of the organising and script-writing are done by the veteran screenwriter, [Junichi Miyashita](/wiki/Junichi_Miyashita "Junichi Miyashita"). The character design for all these recap movies is by [Junko Yamanaka](/wiki/Junko_Yamanaka "Junko Yamanaka"), the former character designer of the *Detective Conan* [main anime](/wiki/Anime "Anime")[[N 2]](#cite_note-2). The video production is done by [Gal Enterprise Inc.](/wiki/index.php?title=Gal_Enterprise_Inc.&action=edit&redlink=1 "Gal Enterprise Inc. (page does not exist)"), a company that specialises in CG animation. Precisely, the director of all the recap movies, [Shunsuke Ishihara](/wiki/Shunsuke_Ishihara "Shunsuke Ishihara"), is also affiliated with said company.
Comparison between old master and redrawn frame.
New scenes are added at the end of each compilation movie, requiring key animators and animation directors to work on them. However, in [The Story of Ai Haibara ~Black Iron Mystery Train~](/wiki/The_Story_of_Ai_Haibara_~Black_Iron_Mystery_Train~ "The Story of Ai Haibara ~Black Iron Mystery Train~"), due to significant animation failures that occurred during the original production of the Mystery Train arc, the problematic scenes were rectified during the recap movie's release. Additionally, the analogue celluloid masters underwent remastering. In [Detective Conan vs. Kid the Phantom Thief](/wiki/Detective_Conan_vs._Kid_the_Phantom_Thief "Detective Conan vs. Kid the Phantom Thief"), the size of the key animation group increased substantially, as the recap movie production team decided to redraw some key frames from older episodes using the current character designs.
Moreover, since 2023, the production has been fully handled by the TMS 7th studio: 7STUDIO (第7スタジオ)[[N 3]](#cite_note-3). This subsidiary was led by [Keiichi Ishiyama](/wiki/index.php?title=Keiichi_Ishiyama&action=edit&redlink=1 "Keiichi Ishiyama (page does not exist)") (from V1 Studio)[[N 4]](#cite_note-4), who served as chief producer and producer in these movies.
