## **Synopsis**

The film opens with Mama Imelda Bot and her friends, Miguel, Dante, Mammot, Stefano, and the lemurs arriving at the Austin International Airport in Austin, Texas. Maurice goes to rent a car from Budget, but gets bored after waiting in line for ten minutes, and begins robbing the dealership and stealing a van. Everyone jumps in, and Imelda announces that Squilliam is being given a parade by the mayor of Austin. They follow the caravan of cars, and she gives Miguel a long rifle. He attempts to assassinate him, but misses, killing the mayor by mistake, and causing everyone to panic. I.C.E. agents begin to shoot at the van, and the gang drives away, and helicopters pursue them. The Circus Zaragoza train picks them up, and they manage to escape. That night, they are taken to downtown Austin, where the animals set up for their next performance. There, Miguel turns on the TV, and watches the news. It claims that an asteroid is going to come close to Earth in four days. Imelda says they have no time to watch it and shuts it off. Entbrat begins arguing with Sonya in their train car, and he decides to take a break from their relationship. He meets up with the penguins, who offer to take him with them on a mission. Imelda reveals that she has found a spellbook that can help them destroy Squilliam. She sends Miguel, Dante, and Mammot to search for him. They are attacked by Crash Bandicoot, who steals the book from them. They run after him, but bump into a tall man who introduces himself as Dr. Facilier. Who claims that he can blow them away with his magical powers, and ushers them into his voodoo emporium. He breaks into song, singing "Friends on the Other Side". He claims that Miguel and Dante need 'green', and turns them both into frogs. They escape, and he ties up Mammot. Miguel and Dante find sanctuary in the nearby swamp. There, they meet a firefly named Ray, who offers to get them back to their friends. He calls in other fireflies, who lead them through the wetlands while singing "Going Down the Bayou". They eventually make it back to Imelda and the lemurs, who don't believe that they are who they claim to be. They are eventually convinced, and they take them back to the circus. Vitaly, Stefano, and the others are in disbelief. The next morning, Imelda, the lemurs, Miguel, Dante, Juanita, and Stefano run into Edna Mode in the hotel lobby. She thanks them for choosing one of her hotels and offers them a new vehicle. Outside, a van has been prepared for them, complete with a driver. She tells them to go to San Antonio, where they can find a woman known as Mama Odie. They thank her for her help and get in the van, where they meet their driver, a talking weasel named Buck. He turns on the radio, and the host explains that the asteroid is still on course, and it will not collide with the planet. He chuckles and claims that they are wrong. He explains that he recently found a prophecy, revealing a stone tablet hidden in the glove box. He says that every hundred million years or so, Earth gets a 'cosmic cleansing'. Once, it was populated with giant invertebrates, which thrived until an asteroid hit in the Gulf of Mexico, killing them all. Then the dinosaurs rose to prominence, staying dominant for a while, until meeting the same fate. And coming up next, the mammals will be wiped out in the same way, by an impact in the same place, only fifty miles from their current location. The others shrug off his story. They make a pit stop at a local state park to stretch their legs. As they walk away, the scene skips to an oddly dressed woman and a man loading a rifle on a hill. The former identifies the latter as Kronk, and is named Yzma. Kronk is revealed to be preparing to shoot Miguel. Before he takes the shot, a loud bang sounds off. It skips to the main crew, who is still walking around the park. Out of nowhere, a blinding light appears, and a giant flaming rock crashes into a patch of trees off in the distance, causing the an enormous gust of wind to hit them, disorienting everybody. When they get back to their senses, more smaller rocks begin landing, destroying plants and starting a wildfire. The gang gets back into the van, and Buck frantically speeds away. As they drive off, more asteroids crash into the Earth, incinerating the forest around them. The scene skips back to Entbrat and the penguins, who are sneaking into a building. They take out the guards and pick the lock on the front doors. Inside, there is a safe sitting atop a pedestal. Rico coughs up a crowbar, and Skipper uses it to open it, revealing the contents: a bag of Cheezy Dibbles. The penguins celebrate and Entbrat gets pissed off, since he almost died for some cheese puffs. They argue for a couple minutes, but are cut off by an ear shattering bang. They run outside, seeing the path of destruction left my the meteor shower. Buildings are destroyed and the ground is blackened and full of craters. The focus shifts back to Imelda and her friends, who make it onto the freeway, where they are met by even more falling asteroids. Suddenly, a group of vehicles fitted with spikes pursues them. A group of anarchists start boarding the van, trying to loot them. Buck shakes them off, Miguel shoots the others, and Imelda takes out the cars. They head deeper into the swamp, using a dirt road full of potholes. They stop in front of a huge willow tree, with a house built on top of it. Buck ensures them that they have made it to Mama Odie. They go inside, where an old black woman is waiting for them. Imelda begs her to turn Miguel and Dante back. She says she can't, because they want to be turned back, they don't need it. She breaks into song, singing "Dig a Little Deeper"
