Frankie Stein: Girl Genius

Frankie Stein: Girl Genius (also known as Monster High: The Movie) is a 2001  American computer-animated science fiction comedy film

Plot
The film starts off with a rocket carrying two girls and a frankenstein dog: Frankie Stein, Draculaura and Watzit. Frankie is attempting to launch a communications satellite made out of a toaster, hoping to communicate with an alien species he believes exists somewhere out in the universe. Unknown to anyone, the satellite is picked up near the planet Yolkus, home to an alien race called the Yolkians. King Goobot V and his assistant, Ooblar, watch a pre-recorded message from Jimmy, featuring him introducing himself and explaining about life on Earth.

Frankie, Draculaura, and their friend Clawdeen Wolf, spot a poster for an amusement park called "Monsteropialand." However, Frankie's parents, Viktor and Viveka, refuse to let him go that night because it is a school night, and as a result Frankie is forced to go his room for the night to think about what he's done wrong after accidentally causing a fire with one of his inventions. Frankie, Draulaura and Clawdeen subsequently choose to sneak out and visit the park despite their parents' knowledge.

As the three are at the park, the Yolkians set a course for Earth and kidnap all the parents in the monster city, leaving fake notes on the refrigerators to tell the kids they've gone to Florida for an "extended vacation". Coincidentally, Draculaura spots a shooting star (actually a Yolkian ship), so he, Frankie and Clawdeen wish for no more parents so they can have fun all the time. The next morning, the kids are initially overjoyed upon discovering that their parents have all disappeared, but eventually become despondent over their absence. After hearing a message from his parents that Watzit had recorded while posing as Frankie last night, Frankie becomes suspicious of the fact that his parents said they would see him in the morning instead of not being there. He soon discovers what has really happened.

Frankie Stein organizes the other monster teenagers in town to build spaceships from the Monsteropialand rides to travel to Yolkus and get their parents back. Eventually they are captured by Goobot, who tells them the parents are to be sacrificed to their goddess, Poultra. He shows the kids Frankie Stein's video, thanking him for helping him find a suitable species for their ritual, before having the teenagers locked up in their cells.

With Frankie feeling guilty over the fact that his actions led to the Yolkans abducting the parents in the first place, his rival Cleo de Nile and love interest Jackson Jekyll convinces him to help the rest of the teen escape from their cell. After breaking out with the help of Watzit, the children, in accordance with Frankie Stein's plan, manage to stop the parents from being sacrificed to Poultra.

Everyone escapes aboard a Yolkian ship, but Goobot follows them in his ship at the head of the Yolkian fleet. With the exception of Goobot's ship, all of the Yolkian ships are destroyed when Frankie baits them into flying too close to Yolkus' sun. Frankie and Watzit then use a shrink ray to grow to the size of a planet, and blow Goobot's ship into an asteroid: Goobot and Ooblar survive the explosion, but Goobot declares that they have not seen the last of him. Jimmy reconciles with his parents as all the other teenagers reunite with theirs, and they make it on their way back home.

In a final scene of the film, Frankie and Draculaura have breakfast during which Frankie's parents drink one of his experiments (that causes significant belching), thinking it is real soda and they all laugh out loud.
