PLOT
Vanellope Von Schweetz and Judy Hopps are watching Disney In The House: Let's Go To The San Diego Zoo! in the theater room, and Judy fast-forwards. Vanellope's protest over this prompts them to narrate one.

In the film, Vanellope and Judy wake up and watch a commercial for the Picker's Circus. Once they arrive, they watch the star attraction, the Great Master. He introduces Teddy, a tie dye bear who is too scared to perform. As the Great Master teaches Judy the magic word to make Teddy disappear and reappear, Vanellope hijacks the performance. Judy accidentally pops the red ball when trying to catch her and explains that her friend's name is Vanellope, who finds that Teddy has been wanting his mommy and daddy back, and promises to take him home.

Meanwhile, the Great Master learns about this, and a security guard named Franco Phil, who tells Judy that Teddy has been kidnapped by Vanellope, and she volunteers to escort them back. She finds Teddy and Vanellope walking down the street to the express train leading to the mountains where Teddy's mommy and daddy live, and Judy follows them.

That night, Judy and Vanellope hustle up in the top beds. As they go to sleep, their enemy, Lotso, tempts to kidnap Vanellope and Teddy, but Judy intervenes. The next morning, Vanellope accidentally wakes up a grizzly bear, who chases them, and they escape, but after an argument, Judy decides to leave Vanellope on her own. As Vanellope and Teddy hike up the mountain, Teddy's fear starts to go away. When Teddy teaches Vanellope to roar, Judy regrets leaving them as if they were in danger. However, ravens kidnap Teddy and take him to King Eagle and Buddy Crow in the Land of the Ravens. Judy and Vanellope rescue him as the temple is demolished into a heap of rubble.

Franco Phil locates pictures of Vanellope and Judy, and goes to take them to jail. The same night, Judy convinces Vanellope to take him back down the mountain. In the morning, Vanellope reluctantly explains that the Picker's Circus is best for the bear, but Teddy accuses her of breaking her promise and runs away. Franco Phil's determination makes everyone rebel against Vanellope and Judy for kidnapping Teddy. Worse, Lotso joins forces with Franco Phil. Vanellope blows her chance, but Judy reassures her the she didn't ruin anything. Vanellope and Judy reunite with Teddy, but they hear the police coming. Vanellope and Judy succeed in reuniting Teddy with his mommy and daddy. Franco Phil cages Teddy and his parents and arrests Judy and Vanellope and boards them in their plane's dungeon.

Heartbroken and to be soon put in jail, Vanellope and Judy are sad until King Eagle, Buddy Crow, and their crows come to the rescue. When Franco Phil isn't looking, Judy sneaks the key to get them out, and they decide to take Teddy and his parents to the Picker's Circus. They open the cargo door, and jump off the plane. In pursuit, Franco Phil and Lotso jump after them and grab Judy, let go, then fall into a pond. Once they return to the Picker's Circus, the Great Master is happy to see Teddy, who introduces him to his parents. Suddenly, Franco Phil steals the scene and tempts to destroy Vanellope, but he is kicked by Teddy and passes out. With Franco Phil defeated and Teddy and his parents reunited, Teddy and Vanellope hug goodbye and she goes back home with Judy.

Back in the house, the group has a meeting, and Vanellope proves that as long as it doesn't matter if Teddy lives in the mountains or in the Picker's Circus, he remains happy. Overjoyed, Vanellope gives Judy a scarf. The film ends with Judy, Vanellope, Teddy, his mom, his dad, Buddy Crow, King Eagle, the Great Master, Jennifer, Iggy, and all of the other Disney In The House members rewatching the film in the same theater room in which Vanellope tells Judy that she still doesn't do so well about it, and with the words "The End" appearing on screen.

In a post-credits scene, Iggy finds himself stranded in a jungle and buries a watermelon, causing the adventure that happens during the events of the sequel.

PRODUCTION
Originally intended in May 2017 as a direct-to-video film by DisneyToon Studios, the film was in development. However, in June 28, 2018, it shut down and Owen Laramore Studios hired Walt Disney Pictures to produce the film and be released theatrically on April 30, 2020. In March 2019, Owen Laramore Studios removed the icon "The Movie" from its title.

WRITING
On May 2017, it was described as a comedy that featured Vanellope and Woody competing against each other over who should go to Toys R Us, but when the store shut down and the film was moved to theatrical at the same time, the script was changed in which Vanellope and Judy return Teddy to his parents. To create the Picker's Circus, the team gave it the shape of a circus tent, with it staged as a theater. Its founder Owen Laramore described it as the perfect plot.

CASTING
Sarah Silverman and Ginnifer Goodwin joined in on 2018. Christopher Mintz-Plasse said that his voice sounded perfect for the role of Franco Phil. Albert Brooks, who voiced Mr. Einstein in another Owen Laramore film, Einstein Friends, was considered for the role of the Great Master. However, he said he was too busy working at the cast for Tokyo Zoo, and was replaced with Simon Rex. Ellie Kemper, Jim Gaffigan, and O'Shea Jackson Jr. were cast on May 2019.

Music
The "In The Key Of Disney" soundtrack, as well as "California Sun" (all performed by Brian Wilson), play in the film. Heitor Pereira was considered the composer, but he withdrew, and the filmmakers instead chose Mark Mothersbaugh because they found his film scores amazing.
