==Synopsis==
After receiving an email from Prince UraTama, Kurotchi meets him. only to be kidnapped by him in order to be made into his girlfriend. So her sisters (except for Silvertchi), Tama-Friends, and Ura counterpart have to find a way to save her before it's too late.
==Plot==
The movie starts after a long snowy day and the TamaKids (Kurotchi and her friends) go out and play in the snow before Greytchi tells her that they were going to have an interview at TOID 21 to celebrate the town's 400th Anniversary. After arriving at the Station, they are greeted with their Ura Counterparts to tell how much the village has changed in both good and bad. But once the interview ends, Silvertchi insults Ura Kurotchi by calling her "Kurotchi but worse (she's bad enough, but Two?)". Being insulted, Ura Kurotchi begins to cry and Kurotchi cheers her up. After cheering her up, the two build a snow version of the Fox 21 logo (in Japan) as TOID is affiliated with Fox, or the SD version of the RX-78-2 Gundam (Internationally).
Later that day, Silvertchi becomes bored and decides to look at various princes in need of a princess. She replies how crummy they look (and insults Prince Tamahilko by calling him a "Yellow Manchild") before finding a Prince from Ura TamaTown. Once she found out his age (of being the same age of Kurotchi) and the fact that his former girlfriend, Princess UraTama left him, she decided to do the most ultimate way to express her hatred towards Kurotchi by using her email instead.
A few days later, the snow has melted and Kurotchi discovers an email from him. Not known him, she replies with asking for his location. After he told her his location, He announces that Big Boss Gotchi, his father will pick her up on Sunday evening. After getting the news, the princesses were saddened by the announcement (except for Silvertchi, who smiles) and they ask "Who did this?" Silvertchi then lies about it and tells them that an imp did it. Afterwards, Kurotchi gets mad at Silvertchi and then said that she was probably involved. But afterwards, she states that it's Saturday and they must spend their Sunday wisely.
Sunday arrives, and the princesses are mourning that Kurotchi is going away later that day. But instead of spending their Sunday wisely, most of the princesses were talking about all the memories that they had with Kurotchi. Then Bokudoritchi and Pinktchi visit. After hearing the news, both were shocked and Bokudoritchi in particular was suspicious that it was a scam created by somebody who hates her. For the final two hours, Kurotchi, Bokudoritchi, and Pinktchi examine the email and it was sent on Tuesday at 9 PM - A time she remembers not being on her computer and playing a game on her Wii U. But she did say that Silvertchi was on her computer. Pinktchi then goes to her room and Silvertchi closes her computer and said "You saw nothing!" but she ignored the response and the two got into a fight.
Then the time arrives, Big Boss Gotchi arrives and picks up Kurotchi. Once she left, everyone at Greyscale Village (except for Silvertchi, who was grinning) cried at the loss. Once arriving at Ura TamaTown, Kurotchi asked "Why do the stars look fake?" and Big Boss Gotchi explains that they live in an area of darkness. Once arriving at his home, Big Boss Gotchi then reminds Prince UraTama to respect her as he exactly remembers what happened to the last princess he met.
At the Rainbow Princesses home, Greytchi then asks Bokudoritchi and Pinktchi about finding who did this. They said that the email was sent at Tuesday at 9 PM, a time when Kurotchi wasn't on her computer. After hearing this, Shirohimetchi was furious that someone used her email for no good. So she called Mametchi, Memetchi, Kuchipatchi, Lovelitchi, Melodytchi, KuroMametchi, Petaltchi, and Princess Tamakoko for further investigation. Once the group arrived, they started to analyze the time and date it was sent. Then, Mametchi found out, it was sent from someone else in the house since it shared the same IP Address. Which leaves the culprit being one of the Rainbow Princesses themselves. But he doesn't exactly know which one did it.
Outside of Big Boss Gotchi's home, Kurotchi meets up with her Ura counterpart and she asks "What are you doing in Ura TamaTown?" she replies with that Prince UraTama wants her to be his new girlfriend. Horrified by this, she tells her that Prince UraTama is considered the worst person in Ura TamaTown due to his high demanding personality the fact that his former girlfriend, Princess UraTama was beaten up by his TamaPet, Urateri, a dog with sharp teeth. But as soon as she told her, Prince UraTama was hearing, and he demanded her to be exiled from Ura TamaTown. Once exiled, Ura Kurotchi then joins the mystery of the solver.
Night arrives and Kurotchi starts planning for an escape route. She then encounters Ura Kuchipatchi, who finds out that she is Prince UraTama's new girlfriend. He was extremely willing to build her a new airplane because he said that he was an "idiot with no respect". So he built it. After test riding it, she paid him her Gotchi Point allowance and rode in it. Then day arrives. Furious to find out, Prince UraTama then demands the Ura TamaGuards to search for her and throw her into a dungeon. Big Boss Gotchi then tries to tell Prince UraTama to calm down but being overwhelmed with anger, he kicks him out of the tower to the ground causing him to get hurt.
Back at the Rainbow Castle, the group is thinking of who did it. Before Petaltchi explains that they need to know who wanted her to leave. Bokudoritchi then replies that Silvertchi was the only one here at the time not crying (she was grinning). So Petaltchi said that it must be her who sent the email. As soon as Silvertchi heard of it, she then covered it up with the same lie (with the Imp) she made earlier. But Pinktchi replies with "Lying will only make things worse!" however, she replied by (falsely) calling her a "hypocrite". On top of that, she insulted her other friends by calling Mametchi "an egotistic nerd" (causing him to go into a panic attack), Memetchi a "whiny brat" (causing her to become furious), Kuchipatchi a "fatso" (causing him to faint), Lovelitchi a "Mary sue" (causing her to cry), KuroMametchi a "dumb jock" (causing him to groan angrily at her), Melodytchi "ugly" (causing her to gasp), Petaltchi a "smarty-pants" (causing him to attempt punching her), Ura Kurotchi "Kurotchi but worse", and she didn't call Bokudoritchi or Pinktchi names and instead snarled at them, expressing her utter hatred towards them. However, Pinktchi was determined to expose Silvertchi of her lying, gaslighting, and overall scummy attitude.
Meanwhile at Ura TamaTown, Kurotchi goes back to the ground and finds Big Boss Gotchi hurt. She then takes him to her plane and asks if he's okay. He replies that she did the right thing escaping because of how his son turned from a respectable young man to an insane Tamagotchi. As soon as the two were preparing for take-off, the Ura TamaGuards fired their arrows at the plane and destroyed it. After they were shot down, the guards grabbed ahold of her and threw her into the dungeon.
Once in the dungeon, she hopes that her friends have figured out made all of the trouble possible. But back at the Rainbow Castle, Silvertchi then continues to rant about Kurotchi's friends and flees to StaticEmporium to hide in. Once in the store, she then says "at least the local channels aren't invoved!" before she saw flat screen TVs showing the news (NBC 14) about "Ura TamaTown's new princess sent to dungeon, Big Boss Gotchi attacked by insane son!". With the NBC 14 team, along with CBS 6, ABC 11, and Fox 21 all interviewing the people she didn't want them to, Kurotchi's friends. After hearing this, Statictchi then says "Silvertchi? Did you really do this?" she replies with "No" and he then replies with, "okay, but if I catch you lying in my store, then you're going on the blacklist!". She sighed in relief before NBC 14 showed an image of the email sent and then she fled out of StaticEmporium.
At the castle, Ura Mametchi sees Kurotchi in the dungeon, seeing her, he made a joke saying "Prince UraTama's at again! Doesn't he know that this'll backfire in ways that make me look at myself in embarrassment?" But after hearing the joke, the door started to laugh. Confused by this, the door gains a face and Kurotchi asks who it was. It, then said, "Call me a she!" and she then said that Ura Mametchi just makes my day. Kurotchi then asks what's her name and she replies with "Doortchi, but some call me Funny". I was a former princess at Ura TamaTown when I was a teen stage (Tongaritchi) before I was sent to the dungeon and evolved into a Door. She said that the former door, ElderDoortchi, was getting old and he died after she evolved. She then opens herself and tells Kurotchi to escape because Prince UraTama appears to be getting into an argument with Ura Young Lovelitchi.
Once escaping, she writes a farewell letter to Big Boss Gotchi and tells him that he was nicer than how others in Greyscale Village found him. But before she left, he read her letter and tells her to escape before time runs out. Once she left the castle, she fled as fast as she could before at the border, she was caught by Prince UraTama. But just before he did anything, Ura Kurotchi and her other friends arrived and told him that she didn't sent the letter. Pinktchi showed him an NBC 14 news article about the email and turns out that Silvertchi did this as a way to keep Kurotchi out of her life. After the conversation, Big Boss Gotchi finds out and he grounds Prince UraTama for a week for his actions.
Among returning to Rainbow Castle, the princesses are patiently awaiting for Silvertchi apologizing to Kurotchi. After 30 minutes, she had enough and "apologized" to her (though was thinking of another snooty remark). To everyone's shock, she forgives Silvertchi and said that love motivated her to forgive her instead of doing what Prince UraTama did. However, despite her forgiveness, Shirohimetchi banned her from using a computer for two months and everyone at Greyscale Village rejoiced about her being safe. The film ends with Princess UraTama reuniting with Prince UraTama and said that "she was lying about her abuse" which lead his life spiral down to madness. After hearing that, Big Boss Gotchi lifted up his ban and instead grounded Princess UraTama for causing the troublesome event in the first place. She gladly accepted it.
During the first part of the end credits, Kurotchi and her friends are watching TV and saw a "20th Century Static" logo (with the a shortened version of the StaticEmporium music playing), followed by (in Japan) a logo for TMS Entertainment, before leading into the Anpanman short (named Anpanman's Dream), or (Internationally) a Tamagotchi Tama-Quickie (named Foxtchi and the Heckler), and the film concludes with Kurotchi's head appearing and winking (with her friends heads surrounding her) at the viewer. The other half of the credits takes place during a beautiful night sky.
==Errors==
===Animation===
* In the scene where Pinktchi and Silvertchi are fighting, Pinktchi's right eye is slightly bigger, and she has blue lips instead of purple lips.
==Trivia ==
*While most of the dubs are handled or overseen by Cartoon Network Studios, it's French dub was done by GKIDS, an American distributor. So in France, the film was co-distributed by StudioCanal.
*It's debatable if Prince UraTama is the true antagonist in the film. Two characters considered to be the true antagonists are:
**Silvertchi - Silvertchi caused most of the problems in the film due to her lies and gaslighting. She was also the one who tricked Prince UraTama to have Kurotchi. She has also tried to conceal her actions when Kurotchi's friends have found out about it and denied all wrongdoings.
**Princess UraTama - Prince UraTama's former girlfriend. She is said to have ruined Prince UraTama's life by a lie she said. This lie caused the two to break up and eventually, caused him to go inane and abusive.
**Coincidently, both of these suspects use lying and gaslighting for their actions. However, Silvertchi's motives were more obvious while Princess UraTama's were more subtle. Another key difference between the two is that Silvertchi's evil motives were motivated by her hatred towards Kurotchi (and her Ura counterpart) while Princess UraTama's motives were motivated by her desire to straight out lie. However, Silvertchi may be seen as the eviler of the two because Princess UraTama came up to confess her wrongdoings and willingly accepted punishment while Silvertchi tried to cover up her wrongdoings and placed the blame on someone else. Because of this analysis, many Tamagotchi fans consider Silvertchi to be the real antagonist of the film and the only "pure evil" Tamagotchi and a simple punishment will do nothing to her as she could hypothetically cause the incident to occur again but to another Tamagotchi.
