== Premise ==
The movie focuses on a little brave cookie opening a singing tournament in order to save his crumbling kingdom that he lives in from destruction.
== Plot ==
The Cookie Kingdom, a place where many cookies live, is threatened for foreclosure by representatives Pastry Cookie and Black Raisin Cookie, and will be rebuilt as a luxurious shopping mall. In order to save the kingdom, brave cookie GingerBrave holds a singing tournament with a prize of $2,000 dollars, but a typo made by his assistants Strawberry Cookie and Wizard Cookie adds two extra zeros into the prize money. The misprinted flyers are blown out of a window by a fan before they can be proofread, and float all across the kingdom.
Crowds of cookies gather to audition, and GingerBrave selects his contestants. Among them are Parfait Cookie, who is a famous singer, Ninja Cookie, who is as swift as the wind, Princess Cookie, who is a young princess, Shining Glitter Cookie, who is more famous than Parfait, and Kouign-Amann Cookie, who is a dress-wearing paladin. Teenage hedgehog Sonic Cookie fails his audition due to his stage fright, Pure Vanilla Cookie was originally selected but then dismissed, which left him upset, and Shining Glitter is paired with Parfait for a dance routine. After GingerBrave discovers the flyers advertise a prize of $200,000 dollars, he joins his friend Cotton Cookie on a visit to Cotton’s sister, former theater star Frost Queen Cookie. Frost Queen is reluctent to sponsor the prize money, but agrees to attend a private preview of the show before making her final decision.
Pressured by his friend Tails Cookie, Sonic attempts to request a second audition, but settles for being GingerBrave’s stagehand instead. After some acts withdraw from the tournament, Sonic is eventually offered a spot in the show, but again struggles to overcome his fear. Shining Glitter flounders in her dance routine with Parfait, believing her singing duties have cause her to lose her passion. Ninja Cookie, assuming he would win the tournament, takes out a massive loan from a bank to purchase a flashy car and swindles a group of cookies in a card game. After an accident causes the stage lights to break, GingerBrave rebuilds the stage as a tank so luminescent jellyfishes can be used as lights.
Desperate, Princess Cookie decides to steal the prize money so she can buy a new blender, but decides against it. Meanwhile, Shining Glitter regains her passion for dancing while grocery shopping, and Parfait composes a song that Kouign-Amann Cookie soon likes. On the day of the preview for Frost Queen Cookie, the cookies that Ninja had cheated on locate GingerBrave, demand their money back, and Ninja directs them to GingerBrave. Afterwards, the cookies break open the prize chest, but it is nowhere near $200,000. Shocked by the lack of money, the rest of the contestants question GingerBrave, and the jellyfish tank breaks under everyone’s weight, which causes water to flood and destroy the kingdom. Pastry Cookie and Black Raisin Cookie repose the entire kingdom to start building the shopping mall, and a dishearted GingerBrave takes up residence with Cotton and supports himself by washing cars. Each and every one of the cookies suffer tragic realities. 
Weeks later, Sonic Cookie goes to the kingdom, which is almost fully built into the shopping mall, and sings out loud to music on his headphones, which inspires GingerBrave to make an outdoor show. Despite attempts from Pastry Cookie to halt the show, it takes place on the lot of the former kingdom where the mall is being built with many cookies in attendance. More cookies are withdrawn into the audience when the show is broadcast on television. The show is a success, and many great things happen: Sonic finally overcomes his stage fright to give an enthusiastic performance, the other cookies that Ninja cheated on find him and chase him away, Shining Glitter and Parfait finally become friends, Cotton is impressed by everyone’s talent, and Frost Queen Cookie buys the lot, and in addition, foiling Pastry Cookie and Black Raisin Cookie's plans and allowing the kingdom to finally be rebuilt.
