Plot
The prologue of the movie shows test footage of a live action park showing photorealistic CGI versions of the Lakewood Plaza Turbo heroes and the Boxmore villains duking it out against each other in an all-out war, but it is interrupted by Shy Ninja, who is sick and tired of those live-action/CGI adaptations based on cartoons, starts telling the audience that Warner Bros. must be dense. The crew are then seen going to the Warner Bros. studio, as they angrily lash out at Thaddeus Plotz and the Warner Bros., demanding that their movie must be traditionally-animated. Plotz rudely refuses to do that, because live-action films based on cartoons make more money and calls a security guard to throw them out of the studio. Out of retaliation, Enid calls Monty that they've been super angry that their movie is going to be in live-action, which the latter furiously comes in and threatens to kill Plotz with his claws if he doesn't turn the crew's movie to be fully animated. With complete regret and fear, Thaddeus Plotz quickly and promptly accepts their request to make their movie fully animated. 3 years later, we see The crew gathering for the first screening of the Future Heroes' first 2D-animated movie.

The movie begins as the crew to celebration of the 18th anniversary of Gar’s Bodega at Lakewood Plaza Turbo, a time when the heroes play fun games, crazy rides, and a huge party over Boxmore. On her way, Shy brings the Crystal along with her. Meanwhile, Turbocharged, the leader of Boxmore, complains about his failures to his lackeys, Boxman, Darrell, Shannon, Raymond, Jethro, Ernesto, Mikayla, Venomous, Fink, Whisker, and Tammy being unable to destory the plaza. When Grapple points out plan "105", a scheme which he has yet to attempt, Turbocharged decides to implement it. After a montage of the Heroes having fun, the anniversary are interrupted by an invasion of monstrous robots commanded by the villainous robot E.M.M.I. (John Cena), the leader of Wakanda, who uses explosive sapphire orbs to obliterate the entire Boxmore to a complete wasteland. The Heroes and the villians go into a fallout world before they're destroyed. When Shy see that the crystal is missing and replaced with rocks shaped like crystal, they realized that her crystal have been stolen by E.M.M.I., and the courageous Shy rallies crew to retrieve her crystal and save Boxmore.

After given missions from the Mr Gar, he drops the crew off in the Hudson River, The Crew construct a boat and embark on a journey. Back in Boxmore, Turbocharged successfully usurps Boxman and begins to destroy the plaza when he finishes turning Boxmore into his empire, as he transforms Boxmore into "Boxtopia.". He also sends his legion to pursue the Crew. After completely escaping and outsmarting Blackhole the Hedgehog who align with E.M.M.I., After coming to the conclusion that they have to complete their journey due to being ‘angry heroes’, The Crew decided that they won't give up as Boxman, Darrell, Shannon, Raymond, Jethro, Ernesto, Mikayla, Venomous, Fink, who were exiled from Boxmore by Turbocharged, Whisker, and Tammy, arrive and shows them what has happened to Boxmore while they were gone, and Raymond upgrades their boat. They make camp in the island, after the inhabitants of Plaza accept that they'll help, much to Shy's delight.

After going back to Boxmore, the Crew now realize that the mastermind behind E.M.M.I.'s arrival is also their archenemy, Turbocharged, Whisker, and Tammy. Shy and her crew are ready to beat Turbocharged, Whisker, and Tammy, but E.M.M.I. stops them and throws the crew (sans Monty, Hood Sickle, Pingu, Bloatincaid, Denozzie, Color Heart, Rapheal, Victor, Gothcat, V-M4N, Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Jojo, OK, Baxter, Icyln, Lily, Spiky, Tall Teen, Arsenio, Victor, Isabel, Timmothy, Collin, Azir, Carl, Percy, Small Teen, Eve, Kira, Dennis, Briella, Preston, Timmy and Mechanica) into a portal. Shy and her friends, now animated in CGI, find themselves at New York City in the real world, as they have to go find shelter in a hotel. While looking for a place to sit, Jojo begins to lose hope and becomes depressed. After seeing him down on the dumps, Scarlett Johansson motivates Jojo to never lose faith on his friends and never give up, restoring his confidence. Shy and her friends to avoid being noticed as real heroes, they disguise themselves as animatronics in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. The illusion falls apart, however, when Shy accidentally deflates an Pikachu balloon after singing during the parade. The citizens panic and the crew flee to Central Park while being pursued by the police and the army.

Seeing his friends enter a heated argument, Jojo manages to successfully stop this before it gets too heated with a rousing speech. The Crew who got beaten by the police and the army, they resolve their differences, while they wonder how they get back to Boxmore. Jojo manages to heal the crew and lead it into another multidimensional portal, V-M4N attempts to recruit former Californian private investigator Eddie Valiant, but accidentally locates Eddie Murphy instead. Fortunately, he and Sofia Vergara appears and offers them a slingshot. They managed to launch the Crew back to Boxmore.

The Crew reverted back to their traditional forms and return to Boxmore to save the captive robots and attack and defeat E.M.M.I. by fighting over his colossal ship. Jojo sees that the Crew has been cornered by Turbocharged and his army and is very furious about it. Jojo launches himself via slingshot with no mercy, lets out a massive roar, and attacks Turbocharged and his mooks to save his crew. Turbocharged begins to have a bit of an existential crisis. However, E.M.M.I. reveals his plot to use his sapphire bombs which are revealed to be loaded with dip to destroy Boxmore, so that Boxmore will be extinct from the Lakewood Plaza Turbo forever, much to Turbocharged's shock and dismay. After an argument, E.M.M.I. betrays Edgar, calling him a "sniveling egotistical swine" and throws him out of his ship. Shy save Turbocharged from falling and reunites with her Crystal. Turbocharged apologizes to Shy, saying that he only now understands why keeping the Great Crystal War going is a bad idea. Turbocharged and The Crew work together to beat E.M.M.I., but to no avail. E.M.M.I. traps the Crew and prepares to destroy them.

Just when all hope seems lost, V-M4N calls in Monty, Lord Boxman, Venomous, Fink, the Boxbots, and every single hero and villain, including the Diving Belle, Co-Bruh, Hon Dew, and others to arrive and help the Crew. An all-out war broke between E.M.M.I.'s army and the crew. All of the heroes and villains fend off E.M.M.I.'s henchmen while Turbocharged keeping the crystal away from her. The Crew battle against E.M.M.I., who is beaten by Bloatincaid X, but survives, exposing his true form as a very deranged psychopathic robot/dragon-like monster and begins to attack the crew. E.M.M.I. manages to hurl a box of TNT at the crew, but Jojo throws a TNT, calls the Mr Gar, destroying his ship. An vengeful and deranged E.M.M.I. yells at the Crew that he will return to try to wipe Boxmore off the face of the Lakewood Plaza Turbo, while strangling Shy's fuse, revealing her intention of returning with more robots. In the middle of his rant, however, K.O. drops an bomb on E.M.M.I., which blow him out. Boxman and the robots stand before the defeated robot and Jojo grabs E.M.M.I. by the crest and spin him around before tossing him into in a timeless prison, while Whisker and Tammy are arrested for their crimes against Boxmore. The Crew and Turbocharged rebuild Lakewood Plaza Turbo with the help of the heroes.

18th Anniversary of Gar’s Bodega resumes, as Jojo finally gets the recognition he deserves and is hailed as a hero along with the Crew in gratitude when Shy gives out a speech about how Jojo is not only the brains of their team, but also in fact the heart and moral center of the Crew. While being praised by the heroes and the villians, The Crew even forgive Turbocharged when they sees him sulking in sorrow, feeling regretful for what he did, and he befriends them with a makeshift sun visor for crystal. Turbocharged remarks that betraying his kind was the dumbest thing he's ever done. Shy, K.O., Enid, and Rad shows him a montage of him stealing the crystal and Turbocharged even admits that that, was the dumbest thing he's ever done. The Crew celebrate by protecting the crystal together, who now begin to acclimate themselves with the rest of the heroes and villians (even the old inhabitants of Aviantopia move in to Boxmore) in various activities for life, as Shy shows a sign reading "Happy ending ain't it?". While celebrating their festival and victory, The Crew have a conversation with Turbocharged and is inspired to move forward, upgrading their slingshot and resuming their crystal-guarding duties. Meanwhile, a now insane E.M.M.I., in possession of one of K.O.'s power fists, begins plotting his ultimate revenge.

When the film ends, Neil insists on watching it again. Shy tells him that they'll watch it again tomorrow until The heroes and villains want to watch the movie again as well, following an epilogue narrated by Hood Sickle detailing the fates and whereabouts of the heroes if the film was critical and finacial success.
