The annual Star Festival to honor the stars that bring life is drawing nearer. Anpanman finds an abandoned doll who is brought to life by a Star of Life. The doll, now named Dolly, spends all of her time having fun, convinced that enjoying oneself is the meaning of life. However, her Star of Life is starting to disappear, and Baikinman builds a huge robot inspired by memories of his own birth.

The Anpanman Grand Prix is a land, air and sea race around Anpanman World using specially built cars. A grumpy young girl from Flower Land called Maggie causes an accident that wrecks Creampanda’s race car. After helping him fix it, she enters the race as his partner.

Happy, a young resident of Dodeka Tree, is always bullied and called weak. He seeks out his idol Anpanman and asks him to teach him and help him become strong. When Anpanman spends his days helping people in need rather than fighting bad guys, Happy loses his faith in him. This offers Baikinman an opportunity to step in and wreak havoc with Dr. Hiyari's new creation, a gluttonous maggot Gringa.
