'''''The Night Juicer''''' is the first of the three [[Pikmin Short Movies|''Pikmin'' Short Movies]]. It is 1:55 minutes in length, intro and ending included, and it is the shortest of the movies. In it, [[Captain Olimar]] is seen taking a sip of a juicy blend with three [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] watching close by. Although initially terrified at the sight of a chopped Pikmin-like object that was used in the juice, the short eventually ends with the revelation that in reality, Olimar was drinking [[pikpik carrot]] juice.

==Introduction==
Before the actual movie starts, [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] are shown interacting with nature and man-made objects on [[PNF-404]], with a [[Red Pikmin]] appearing from behind some leaves, a [[Blue Pikmin]] inside an outdoors water tap, and a [[Yellow Pikmin]] inside a shoe.

These three leave their spots and join a scramble of hundreds of other Pikmin, including [[Purple Pikmin|Purples]] and [[White Pikmin|Whites]], as the camera shifts to a top-down view, showing the Pikmin organizing themselves to spell the word "PIKWIN". After a small bit, a [[whistle]] rings, and the Pikmin forming the "W" shuffle around to form an M instead; two of the Pikmin on the W become disoriented and join a different "I" each. During this introduction, a slightly remixed version of the song that plays on the [[Menu#Title screen|''Pikmin'' title screen]] begins playing.

The [[Purple Pikmin|Purple]] and [[White Pikmin]] in this intro erroneously have white flowers as opposed to pink ones.

==Plot==
The movie begins in a location resembling a basement, with the camera behind a wall, slowly showing more and more of an illuminated room on the other side. A large clipboard with several images and files can be seen on the wall, which are detailed in [[#Bulletin board|this section]]. Eventually, [[Captain Olimar]] is visible from behind the wall, without his helmet, waiting for a running blender atop a table. A [[Red Pikmin|Red]], [[Yellow Pikmin|Yellow]] and [[Blue Pikmin]] peer from a doorway in the room to investigate what Olimar is doing. The captain then stops the machine and pours the thick red liquid into a glass.

He then puts one hand on his waist and begins to chug down the beverage voraciously. The three Pikmin leave the doorway and enter the room, eager to discover what Olimar is drinking. At this point, a different angle of the room is shown, and a colorful machine and boxes of Pikmin-like objects can be seen, as well as Earth-like tools such as a kitchen sink. A Red Pikmin notices smears of red liquid inside the blender, and then looks to its right, where a red Pikmin-shaped vegetable can be seen sliced up, on top of a cutting board smeared in red liquid. The resemblance to a Red Pikmin scares the trio of Pikmin, who shriek and take a step back. Olimar then looks behind him, grinning at the Pikmin, with juice still smeared on his teeth and dripping from his mouth.

Olimar wipes his mouth and begins walking towards the Pikmin, who walk backwards, away from him. The Red Pikmin, the one closest to Olimar, then runs behind the other two and pushes them forward. The scene pauses momentarily, and a thought bubble appears over a preoccupied Blue Pikmin, now the one closest to the captain, imagining itself ending up as blue ice tea. The Blue Pikmin then goes to the back of the group and pushes the other two towards Olimar. The scene once again pauses, and the Yellow Pikmin, the next one to be closest, imagines itself as a pineapple drink. The Yellow then goes to the back of the line as the other two Pikmin did. Olimar stretches his hand forward, as an increasingly scared trio of Pikmin keep walking backwards.

Eventually, the Yellow Pikmin at the back trips over a cardboard box, making all three Pikmin land on a set of boxes. [[Pikpik carrot]]s are seen flying into the air and landing on a pile of Pikmin and boxes. With the three Pikmin stunned, Olimar moves the Red Pikmin out of the way and grabs two carrots, taking them back to the table.

==Ending==
The ending consists of a cropped scene of a forest, with a Blue, a Red and a Yellow bud Pikmin buried. Each of their buds pop into flowers, and the word "Fin" appears on top of the flowers.

==Bulletin board==

The bulletin board at the start of the short contains several piece of paper on it, most with something interesting on it. The following is a list of understandable items on the board:
* What appears to be a newspaper article on [[Hocotate]], judging from the only image on the page.
* A map of an unrecognizable [[area]], possibly on [[PNF-404]]. A few pointers mark what could be [[treasure]]s.
* A photo of Olimar's [[Minor characters#Olimar's daughter|daughter]] and [[Minor characters#Olimar's son|son]] on a park, using concept art images.
* A photo of Olimar from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', in front of the [[Hocotate ship]].
* A photo of Olimar in formal clothing, posing with his family. This photo uses images from ''[[Pikmin 2]]'''s [[mail]].
* A portion of the ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'' boxart.
