Synopsis[]
Anpanman's friends get the spotlight in this collection of three adventures:
Akachanman's Adventure - Baikinman kidnaps Anpanman and others and it's up to the toddler Akachanman to save them from his dangerous amusement park - the Baikin-dome!
Currypanman and SL-Man - Taking place in a wild west setting, Baikinman and his Kabi Gang are hijacking train deliveries. SL-Man, a steam locomotive, and Currypanman agree to make an important food delivery, but can they overcome Baikinman's Gang?
Sing Along! Anpanman's Parade - The third and last segment has Anpanman and his friends building handmade vehicles to go on a trip together, and as each new one joins the group, they sing their theme songs, creating an Anpanman song medley!

Trivia[]
- The first segment, Akachanman's Adventure, is inspired by their character song of the same name.
- There is a transition in-between segments, where a slot machine is operated, and the characters shown indicate the next segment of the series.
- During the 3rd and final segment:
- Anpanman breaks the fourth wall by shouting "Hey everyone! Are you ready?"
- Dokin-Dokin-Dokeen, The Well-Known Shokupanman, Watashi wa Dokin-chan, and Zukkoke! Baikinman are the only songs that are heard briefly.
- Strangely enough, there are two instances throughout the segment where a few characters singing voices are dubbed by Dreaming for unknown reasons:
- Dokeen's singing line ("Watashi wa Dokinchan...") during I am Dokeen.
- Miss Mimi and her classmates singing the chorus of Well-Known Bread Head Man.
- Despite Bread Head Man appearing in this short, he doesn't have any lines. This was most likely due to Well-Known Bread Head Man being edited.
