This was the most difficult Bancytoon film ever to be produced due to six years of research on how to make the Canadian capital city of Ottawa to appear look realistic. Production commenced on the eleventh of May in 2008. Bancy's Canadian Adventures started production in 2004 as it was originally intended to be a stand-alone film but it became a crossover film instead. Michask Igafo Te'o hired a a team of animators in May of 2005 and began doing research on how to make Ottawa realistic and it took a team of 38 artists to design Ottawa accurately for the film.
== Plot Summary ==
It's June 28, 2010, Bancy and his plush friends wake up for their morning breakfast, they then head to CatMouse Pizza Playhouse only to find out that they are out of ingredients for their pizzas. While Danny Phantom complains about losing business and Toby freaks out about the pizza ingredients ran out and that they are at risk of being shut down due to the Canadian Prime Minister's (Shark Bait the Rat) new laws limiting cheese exports to America from Canada threatening their business. Bancy gets upset and throws a temper tantrum about the declining business in which Ollie calms him down. The next thing the Plushies notice is that they find a business card to Harvey's in Ottawa, Canada. Bancy discovers that he has a cousin he never met, Toby suggests that the Plushies get their passports and Eric Patterson walks in and announces he has a California enhanced state ID. The Plushies and Mike Patterson hold a meeting at CatMouse Pizza Playhouse kitchen and discuss how to get to Canada.

Larry Jr and Sr, Gary and the rest of the Ary Clan, Jose the Bear and Detective Trudeau the Bear introduce themselves to the Plushies and their human friends. Percy asks Larry about the case of the missing pizza ingredients, stolen entertainment equipment and the declining business. Detective Larry Sr explains Bancy on how to get to get a burger at Harvey's in Ottawa. Larry Jr describes to Bancy as a flashback of Bancy being treated like royalty when an employee place a burger behind the glass counter.

However the original dialogue from the confrontation sequence from Not Without My Daughter was retained with minor changes from "You're in my country" to "You're in Ottawa and you will help me".
