THE PLOT
The Film Begins on the morning of his first day of summer, an excited Tuffy Mouse wakes his best friend, Penelope Pussycat wildly. Penelope Pussycat helps him prepare for the day, showing to be overprotective and doubtful of Tuffy Mouse's ability to take care of himself. Penelope Pussycat escorts Tuffy Mouse to outside - Outside, Scrappy-Doo, Surly Squirrel, Chomper, Puffy Dragon, Newt, Pitt, Big Mama, Chuck, Erik, Friend Owl, Tombi, Smidge, Pig the Pig, Commander Vachir and Teddy-2 were there. At that moment, the adults arrive: Fifi Pussycat, Pierre Pussycat, Jerry Mouse, Scooby-Doo, Mama Sharptooth, Papa Sharptooth, Puffy's Mother, Gloria, Mumble, Thabo, Lucy-2 and Rudy-2, who heard about summer and takes the children on a field trip.

Upon arrival, Tuffy Mouse follows the young ones to the very edge of Florida where they see a tank far from the distance. They dare each other to walk over to touch the butt as Surly Squirrel arrives and yells at them for endangering themself. While talking to the adults, Penelope Pussycat fails to notice Jerry Mouse running fiercely out to place, stopping beneath the tank. In an act of defiance, Jerry Mouse touches the buttom of the tank with his hand and starts to runs back before Fishface suddenly appears behind him and traps the adults in a cage. Penelope Pussycat and her friends are prevented from running out after the adults by Razhar who takes a picture, disorienting them. Regaining their sight, The gang runs after them as the tank departs. Fishface places the adults in the prison.

They chase after the tank, but eventually loses the trail. They chase into the floor, begging passing schools of animals for help until he bumps into a No. 2 blue engine named Edward. He claims to have seen the boat and leads a thankful gang in the direction it went but, as they run along, He becomes lax and even tries to evade them when he notices them behind him. When Edward confronts the gang, they questions him and Penelope Pussycat is then told that she has short-term memory loss. Dumbfounded, Surly Squirrel turns to leave but is stopped by owlley-cat named Bear Owl. He invites Edward and the animals to a get-together he's having and, despite Pitt's objections, escorts them to his lair in a sunken submarine surrounded by live sea mines. They meet Bear Owl's friends, Macawnivore and Ramu, before beginning an assembly where they pledge to abstain from eating fish.

When Erik spots the diver's mask stuck on a shard of metal he discovers markings on the strap that might provide a clue to adults's whereabouts. Penelope Pussycat picks up the mask to see if the predators can read, but Chuck tries to take it back, engaging in a tug-of-war before the mask snaps into Erik's face, causing a nosebleed. The smell of the blood excites Bear Owl's inner carnivore and, though Macawnivore and Ramu try to stage an intervention by holding him back, he mindlessly chases everyone through the submarine, taking hold of the mask in his mouth in the process. During this time, Penelope Pussycat reveals that she can read human words before she and the gang take refuge in a torpedo well. Penelope Pussycat releases the torpedo which wedges in Bear Owl's mouth, giving the gang enough time to grab the mask and flee back into the well. Bear Owl throws the torpedo away and Macawnivore and Ramu are able to regain his attention in time before the torpedo sets off one of the mines, causing a violent chain reaction of explosions from the others.

Meanwhile, the adults were placed into a new container revealed to be Zoo Miami. There they meets a few of the original inhabitants including Slappy Squirrel, Jessica Rabbit, Cousin Muscles and Scooby-Dum. God greets the adults as Fishface appears who shows them a picture of Thunderwing. The other animals cringe and call him a killer. Afraid and wanting to go home, Jerry Mouse backs away and gets stuck in the suction tube of the pipe. The other animals go to help him, but Doc appeared to stop everyone as he walked towads and tells Jerry Mouse that he must escape himself, giving Jerry Mouse instructions and encouragement. Jerry Mouse manages to free himself and Fifi Pussycat relates his strength to his valley origins, like Doc.

Penelope Pussycat and the gang, including Edward awake in the aftermath of the explosions to find the submarine hanging precariously over the edge of a deep ravine. Their movements cause the submarine to suddenly tip forward and collide with the rock wall of the far side. During the chaos and blinded temporarily by the dust, Penelope Pussycat accidentally drops the mask into the Discovery Cove. Surly and Pitt gives it up for lost, but Penelope Pussycat cheerfully takes them into Discovery Cove, telling him to just keep walking. After a moment, they come upon a mysterious and alluring light which, unfortunately, belongs to Rudy. During the chase, they find the mask and distracts the dinosaur long enough so that Penelope Pussycat can read the address written on it. Tuffy Mouse then leads Rudy towards the mask and traps it using the strap of the mask as a tether. Penelope Pussycat recites the address "X. Montes 42 Wallaby Way, Zoo Miami" and is ecstatic to find that she can remember it.

Back in the zoo, Scooby-Doo is woken by Jessica Rabbit who takes him to the candles, where the other animals perform an initiation to include The Adults in their club. Doc then proposes a plan to escape the zoo by grab the keys which would cause the zoo to become so dirty that Fishface will have to manually clean it and place them in baggies on the counter, allowing them to roll out the window to the street, cross it, and land in the water. Though the other animals are skeptical, Doc asserts that Jerry Mouse is small enough to fit into the filter and make it back through the tubing. Jerry Mouse agrees to do it.

The protagonists continue their journey and request directions to Zoo Miami from God. He tell them to take the East Floridian Current (EFC) after an impressive display of their synchronized impressions. When they come to a tunnel, Surly Squirrel resolves to swim over it to avoid the ominous enclosure. With the EFC in view, Friend Owl becomes distracted and is bitten by a tiny fossa. As Penelope Pussycat tends to him, they are suddenly surrounded by a school of fossas. Finding that fossa are dangerous, everyone kill them all and continue their journey.

Jerry Mouse waits with Doc who is keeping an eye on Fishface for an opportune moment to steal the keys. Noticing Fifi Pussycat looking at his scar, Doc explains that he got it from the sharptooth. Rudy-2 cries out that Fishface is going out for lunch which cues Jerry Mouse to leap out. Doc tosses him a rope and gives instructions as Jerry Mouse wedges the door, stopping Fishface return. However, as he is moving through the pipe back into the tank, the door unhinges and Fishface comes back again, attacking Jerry Mouse backwards. The other animals hurry and send Jerry Mouse a rope strand to grab onto and pull him out. Shaken, Fifi Pussycat asks Doc not to send Jerry Mouse back in there. Sullen and realizing his plan put Jerry Mouse in grave danger, Doc says they're done.

Meanwhile, Edward wakes up to find himself meeting a wolfdog named Balto. Incredulous, he discovers that he's also riding along the EFC with dozens of other wolves. Edward is reunited with the others and meets Balto's daughter, Aleu. Edward also meets Aleu. While playing with the other wolves, Aleu is accidentally propelled outside the current. Big Mama is panicky at first however Balto convinces her that Aleu can handle herself. Aleu is able to run his way back into the current and gleefully joins her father. Penelope Pussycat sees that even the youngest among the turtles can learn to survive in the ocean. Having been told some details of their journey and the encounter with the fossas, Aleu and the gang ask Surly Squirrel to tell them the rest of the story. Hesitant at first, Surly Squirrel relents and begins with when the adults was abducted. Their story is not ignored; it's passed on from turtle to fish to dolphin to bird and onward until it comes to the ears of none other than God. Hearing this, he walks off to the Zoo Miami.

There, Jerry Mouse tries to apologize to Doc for the botched escape attempt but Doc says that his eagerness to escape almost cost their lives his life and that nothing should be worth that. God arrives, tell the adults the story of their journey as it was told to them. Renewed and invigorated, Pierre Pussycat takes it upon himself to try the cage attempt again and, this time, succeeds.

Edward and the animals continue along the EAC until they come to their exit point where Balto and Aleu show them where to depart the main line. After a confusing instructional speech on "proper exiting technique" Aleu pushes them into the exit flume and back into open water. Thanking Balto, Surly Squirrel asks the wolf how old he is; Balto answers that's he is 14 years old and still young. They are instructed to continue through a large purplish plume of plankton to Zoo Miami. However, they soon become lost and Penelope Pussycat resolves to ask a distant fish for directions. Though Commander Vachir is afraid at first, he decides to trust Penelope Pussycat and she calls out to the distant figure. When she sees its a blue whale, she starts speaking 'whale', asking for help. Smidge grows frustrated with her again just as a whale approaches from behind and pulls them into its mouth.

Back in the zoo, a couple of days' the cage were covered in green algae. When Fishface sees this, he opts to clean the cage the following morning before Tiger Claw's arrival. The Adults looks out the window, wondering if the children are there already, waiting for them.

In the whale's mouth, Penelope Pussycat and her friends remain safe with enough water to swim in. Though Penelope Pussycat is complacent, Surly Squirrel futilely attempts to break out by ramming into the whale's baleen. He yells at Penelope Pussycat for claiming to have spoken whale, calling her insane and lamenting over the fact that he'll never see the adults again. Penelope Pussycat tries to console him as the whale emits a call and the water in the mouth begins to drain. The whale then lifts his tongue to push the gang to the back of the throat but Surly Squirrel refuses to let go until Penelope Pussycat assures him that, though she doesn't know what will happen, everything will be all right. Surly Squirrel closes his eyes and releases his grip on the whale's tongue. They fall to the back of the throat where they are then shot out of the whale's blowhole, landing in the Zoo Miami. Overjoyed to have finally arrived, Surly Squirrel sends his thanks to the whale and encourages Edward to help them find the tank that took the adults.

Asking herself what Penelope Pussycat would do, she begins to look around, heading to a tree field. She despairs, remarking that there is nothing but kelp until she spots some flowers in the grass. Remembering that following flowers would bring her home when she younger, she follows the trail to see more trails of flowers, all leading to the same point. At this point, the gang discover the rest of the animals, and are finally reunited with the adults. They have an emotional reunion, with the gang introduces Edward to them. The adults introduce Doc to them and they explain that her father uses a claw the whole time, making flower trails to guide her home. When they ask her if she had been by herself for all that time.

After their Rescue, Fishface yells in frustration, and the chase ensues (Music from “Tom and Jerry: The Magic Ring”, “The Fox and the Hound” and “Oliver & Company”). They run everywhere until they reach the florida bus. But the bus stop and races back to the bad guys. The Fishface passed them. As The gang manages to escape from Fishface, Fishface pursue everyone. They hide in the burrow while Fishface tries trapping them by setting fire to its entrance. They narrowly escape without getting burned as the four chase them up the top of a hill until they reach the end of the buildings. Suddenly, There was a sound of the whistle. It was Edward! His wheels whobbled and pasted angry Fishface. Chomper watched in horror as Edward clattered down the station. The chase is going on and on. Penelope Pussycat swerved and drove up onto safety. Tuffy Mouse screamed and covered his face. The chase ends where they encounter Fishface.

However, Penelope Pussycat is able to get Fishface on shore, where she destroys his legs and removes his breathing apparatus, leaving him to suffocate, defeated. Emerging victorious, Penelope Pussycat gently tells her parents that she found out that wolves are 14 years old. They all come to an understanding and all go back to their home in Florida. Surly Squirrel's demeanor has changed for the better and he is more upbeat and confident in his friends' abilities. They take them to summer where Edward is dropped off by Bear Owl, Macawnivore and Ramu who have included Edward in their vegetarian program. Penelope Pussycat and Tuffy Mouse hugs Edward before heading off on another field trip wit hthe adults. Edward watches them leave, knowing that they will be all right as the film ends.

In the post-credits scene, Horns honk out the open window as Cousin Muscles is the last to cross the street and land himself in the harbor with the other animals.
