Plot
The film opens with birds singing in the trees where everything and everyone in Cartoonia lives together in peace. Notey the Music Note and Smiley Cube are out on their bikes for a nice journey when they hear the news from Bart Simpson who said that the evil Dr. Birdbrain is going to turn Cartoonia into black-and-white so that all the characters will be in depression. It is up to Notey and Smiley to save the world from depression and evil. These two together with Bart and Homer Simpson, Ash and Pikachu, Misty and Togepi, She-Ra and Bow, Mario and Luigi, Scooby-Doo and Shaggy, Mickey and Donald, Bugs and Daffy, Superman and Spiderman, and Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash all set off for an exciting and incredible journey to fight Dr. Birdbrain once and for all. With Jiminy Cricket as their guide, they find a way to find the castle of Toonsylvania and defeat Dr. Birdbrain. First, they went on a ship to set sail and find Toonsylvania, until they landed on a strange island when they feel exhasted and tired. The characters wake up to find that they have been tied up by tiny people called Lilliputians from Gulliver's Travels. King Little and Gabby told them if they are spies of Blefiscue, but Notey, Smiley and the rest introduce themselves and apologise not to harm anyone in Lilliput which are smaller than their size. There they meet Gulliver who just discovers a shiny object someone planted. It is a gold key in which Dr. Birdbrain hid inside the sandy ground so that no one will ever open the treasure of Dr. Birdbrain. Gulliver tells his friends that Dr. Birdbrain was a pirate and a mad scientist who lives in a castle in Toonsylvania and has stolen the treasure from Peter Pan and the Lost Boys from Neverland. He tells that if they defeat Dr. Birdbrain, they will find the treasure chest locked in a secret room downstairs and open it to see what it is. He also tells them they must take the treasure chest back to Peter Pan in Neverland before dark. Then, as Notey and the characters wave good-bye, they take a hitch-hike for a ride to Toonsylvania, and met Mr. Forgetful from Misterland. They ask which is it to Toonsylvania where Dr. Birdbrain lives, but Mr. Forgetful takes them to Hundered Acre Wood where Christopher Robin plays with Winnie the Pooh and his friends. The Heffelumps and Woozles are attacking and Winnie the Pooh needs their help. So Ash, Misty, Mickey, Donald, Pikachu and Togepi fight against them until Notey and Smiley make nasty faces to scare away the Heffelumps and Woozles, and they ran away. Luckily, no body is hurt, expect for Pikachu who feels in bad shape. So Ash and his friends take Pikachu to the Pokémon Centre in Viridian City. Then Misty sees Tai and Sora talking with Agumon and Biyomon at the café in the Pokémon Centre. Misty tells them where Toonsylvania is and explains about Dr. Birdbrain turning Cartoonia into black-and-white depression. Tai and Agumon tells Misty and Ash that there is a path to the Mushroom Kingdom where Mario, Luigi, Toad, and Princess Peach live. So off the characters go to Mushroom Kingdom. They see a group of Goombas and Koopas attacking the Mushroom Fort of Toads. Mario and Luigi fight them off along with Bugs Bunny and Spiderman. Peach and Toad thank Mario, Luigi, Superman and Spiderman for doing a great job, and Mario asks Peach and Toad where Dr. Birdbrain is. Peach tells that there is an island with railway tracks where talking trains live. On the way, the characters see a London bus with British characters, Postman Pat, Fireman Sam, Peppa Pig, Paddington Bear, Mr. Blobby, Noddy, SuperTed, Mr. Bump and Little Miss Splendid, Rupert the Bear, and Roobarb and Custard. The characters travel to the island of Sodor while they sing a song entitled "Any Heroes Today" to the tune of "Any Bonds Today" by Irving Berlin. When they finish the song, they leave the bus and set off to the Island of Sodor. They meet Thomas the Tank Engine on the way, where he derailed off the track with trucks loaded with fruits and vegetables. Superman and She-Ra put Thomas back on the track, and explain about Dr. Birdbrain taking over the world to turn everyone in black-and-white. Thomas tells them that there is a path where bats fly around and thunder strikes in the sky, with creepy forest trees and wicked witches in the sky. Notey and the characters finally notice Toonsylvania and go straight away to the castle of Dr. Birdbrain of Toonsylvania. Inside the castle, they are surrounded by 5 mummies, 3 ghosts, and 4 skeletons. The characters start an ultimate fight and go to Dr. Birdbrain's room where Dr. Birdbrain is preparing the Depresso-Ray machine to turn everyone in Cartoonia black-and-white. There, they find him and battle against Dr. Birdbrain with his army of six zombie cacti with poison fluid guns. Then Notey and Smiley defeat Dr. Birdbrain with a Good-Riddance-to-Bad-Rubbish gas pump and Dr. Birdbrain fades away forever, never to be seen again. Finally they go downstairs to secret room where Dr. Birdbrain has hidden the treasure from Peter Pan. They open the treasure chest with a gold key which Gulliver gave it to them, and open a chest filled gold, jewels, and coins made of gold. Finally, they take the treasure back to Peter Pan and the Lost Boys in Neverland before dark, until they reach it just in time. Peter Pan and the Lost Boys thanks for defeating Dr. Birdbrain and bringing the treasure back to Neverland. That night, all the characters of Cartoonia, including Peter Pan and the Lost Boys, start a celebration in Cartoonia for Notey, Smiley, and their heroes. The song "Do it at the Disco" plays with characters dancing to the music, Homer, Bart, Ash, Pikachu, Misty, Togepi, Tai, Sora, Garfield, Odie, Bugs and Daffy, Mickey and Minnie, Donald and Daisy, Mario and Peach, Twilight and Rainbow Dash, Sonic and Tails, She-Ra and Bow, Mr. Blobby and Postman Pat, Yogi Bear and Cindy Bear, Scooby and Shaggy, and of course, Notey and Smiley. The post-credits scene shows a scene at the end with Dr. Birdbrain in the middle of nowhere until he meets Tiff from Kirby, Right Back at Ya! demanding him to go to the refreshments in the cinema and clean up the mess after the viewers who watched the movie. Then it ends with the "The End" card in Looney Tunes style, with Porky Pig saying "Th-th-th-th-that's all, oh n-never mind. G-g-go home, folks. The movie's finished already.".
