Premise
Sheev Palpatine arrives on Earth to collect the Infinity Holocrons: Soul, Space, Time, Mind, Reality, and Power for a gauntlet that will allow him to bend reality to his will. Bob Parr, Mulan, James P. "Sulley" Sullivan, Quasimodo, the Beast, Belle and Peter Pan must join forces with Simba's pride alongside Jim Hawkins, as Aladdin and Hiro must join with Genie and Li Shang, and Hercules joining the crew of the Ghost to stop Palpatine before his onslaught of destruction puts an end to half the universe.

Plot
Before the events of the film, Emperor Sheev Palpatine receives the Inquisitors back alive and obtains the Power Holocron from Coruscant. Believing that life is overconsuming the universe's finite resources, Palpatine intends to obtain all six Infinity Holocron to kill half of all life in the universe to guarantee a prosperous life for the survivors.

The film begins immediately after the events of Hercules: Ragnarok, with Palpatine's forces attacking Hercules' ship. Palpatine kills most of the Mount Olympians, and obtains the Space Holocron from Hades, before killing him. Only Sulley, who is sent to Earth by Apollo, and Hercules, who is rescued by the crew of the Ghost, survive.

Palpatine obtains the Reality Holocron from the Rex's lair on Kamino and kidnaps Hera Syndulla. By threatening to kill Hera's captured Jedi Ahsoka Tano, Palpatine obtains from Hera the location of the Soul Holocron. Darth Maul informs Palpatine that he must sacrifice a loved one to obtain the Soul Holocron, so Palpatine murders Hera.

During a battle on Tatooine, Genie gave Palpatine the Time Holocron in exchange for sparing Aladdin. Palpatine teleports to the battle of Pride Rock in Africa, where Belle destroys the Mind Holocron. However, Palpatine reverses time to restore the Mind Holocron and forcibly tears it out of Beast, killing him.

With all six holocrons in his grasp, Palpatine survives a last-ditch attack by Hercules and kills half of all life in the universe. Among the heroes who are killed are Jim Hawkins, Simba, Peter Pan, Belle, Chopper, Ezra Bridger, Kanan Jarrus, Sabine Wren, Genie and Hiro Hamada. Palpatine then sits down and watches the sunset.

In a post-credits scene, former crime fighters Helen Parr and Lucius Best are among those who are killed by Palpatine's death wave, but Lucius manages to send a signal with a Elsa and Anna insignia before his and Helen's deaths.

The rebellious princess of Agrabah and Aladdin's wife.
