Plot
Kenan and Kel have just picked a movie for the Nicktoons to watch in the Nickelodeon Studios. Everyone quiets down as the film opens. One evening, Vlad Masters releases armies of ghosts from the Ghost Zone and sends them through portals to other dimensions.

The next day, Danny Fenton is just finishing up his homework when his ghost sense detects a couple of ghosts invading the area. Transforming into Danny Phantom, he goes after them while trying to protect as many of the residents as he can. He comes across mechanical canine Goddard, who delivers a message from his owner Jimmy Neutron. The dog leads Danny through a portal to Jimmy’s laboratory. Jimmy reveals that ghosts have invaded several dimensions and offers his services to Danny, who would rather take on Vlad himself. Jimmy sends Danny through a portal to Dimmsdale and sends Goddard through a portal to Bikini Bottom. Danny recruits Timmy Turner while Goddard recruits SpongeBob. The four heroes agree to travel through the dimensions and take out the ghosts that Vlad released from the Ghost Zone. Aided by various weapons, they rush out to battle the ghosts in Retroville, with Danny being slightly impressed with his new team. Unbeknownst to the team, a device was planted somewhere in the city. In his mansion, Vlad prepares for the second phase of his plan.

While looking for ghosts in Bikini Bottom, Danny explains his history with Vlad. They come across a small army of ghost-possessed citizens and work together to free them. As they head to Dimmsdale, Vlad is putting the finishing touches on a brand new machine. After defeating another army of ghosts, Danny decides to catch Vlad himself and thanks his teammates for the help. But the others refuse to abandon their friend until his home is completely secure. The gang finds ghosts in Amity Park and manages to defeat them. Danny goes straight to Vlad’s mansion to battle his nemesis, but is easily overpowered. Jimmy, Timmy and SpongeBob arrive to help, but to no avail. The heroes get knocked out and tossed into the Ghost Zone Prison. Vlad activates his newest machine, which causes every Nicktoon dimension to merge into one single planet. He then releases the ghosts that the heroes captured and sends them out to help him rule the multiverse.

In the Ghost Zone Prison guarded by Walker, Danny apologizes for his attitude earlier, confessing that he felt responsible for what Vlad did because of the rivalry they share. The others forgive him and knock Walker out. They leave the Ghost Zone through the Fenton Works ghost portal and soon learn of Vlad’s true methods. They gather up as many Nicktoons as they can and pick up some ghost-catching equipment. As Vlad leads his troops, he sees Jimmy, Timmy, Danny and SpongeBob standing in the distance. They lead their own army of heroes in an epic war against his ghosts. In the midst of all the chaos, Danny has a one-on-one showdown with Vlad and his ultimately successful. With the ghosts defeated, Jimmy, Timmy, Danny and SpongeBob thank each other for the help. Everyone says their goodbyes before Vlad’s machine is deactivated and the planet is separated into dimensions once again. As the Nicktoons return to their everyday lives, Danny remains in contact with Jimmy, Timmy and SpongeBob just in case the multiverse needs their help again.

As the credits roll, Kenan and Kel share their thoughts on the film with the Nicktoons.

Notes/Trivia

 * The film is mostly based on various Nicktoons video games, including the 2005 video game Nicktoons Unite!. It also takes some inspiration from The Avengers, Marvel Ultimate Alliance, Justice League, Avengers: Infinity War, Marvel Future Fight and Justice League: Origin.
 * The creators thought a lot about the plot of the film before giving it a fantasy element.
 * The film begins in a manner similar to that of a traditional Kenan & Kel episode as the titular stars make an appearance.
 * Many Nicktoon characters make appearances throughout the film, whether they loved or hated. The writers said they didn't just want to only have fan favorites.
 * In addition, they also wanted to throw characters from as many shows as possible.
 * Out of every Evil Syndicate member, Professor Calamitous gets the most screen time.
 * Nickelodeon got permission from Disney for the use of Doug in the film. Jim Jenkins stated that since Doug was the first Nicktoon, "it just wouldn't be the same without him".
 * John A. Davis, Steve Oedekerk, Stephen Hillenberg, Butch Hartman and other creators worked on the film.
 * The DVD release includes a reel of bloopers/outtakes and behind-the-scenes footage. It is treated as a traditional KaBlam! episode and shows the Nicktoons hanging out at the Nicktoons Animation Studio.
 * Commentary by various Nicktoons is also available on the DVD release.
 * This movie is dedicated to Christine Cavanaugh, Joe Alaskey and Jack Riley.
 * The writers had to make the plot as original as possible.
 * Duke Doomsday is similar to Thanos, in which both villains have evil plans to destroy everything.
 * A few comics connected to the events of the film were released months in advance. The first one was a prequel comic that explained the origins of Duke Doomsday while the others focused on the Nicktoons that didn’t get enough screen time in the film.
 * Timmy Turner is seen in the same outfit he wore in Abra-Catastrophe.
 * In the film, many characters are seen hiding in ChalkZone. Some characters who were spotted include Doug Funnie, Eliza Thornberry, the Angry Beavers, Otto Rocket and the Rugrats.
