Despite this, the film became popular in Latin America due to the high sales of the Polly Pocket line at the time in the region.

A few days before their school dance, Polly and the other girls are given the assignment to learn about lunar eclipses, which will count for one-third of their grades.

Unfortunately, Lila fears she will be grounded and unable to play with the rest of the girls in their band, Polly and the Pockets if she does not get a good grade.

Polly and her friends organize a trip to her family's South Pacific island where a lunar eclipse will be visible that night.

Meanwhile, Beth, a classmate who is jealous of Polly because she's the most popular student in school, tampers with Lila's camera so she will not be able to take photos of the eclipse, and cause her to fail her assignment.
