Tom and Jerry: The Space Giants - Fight for the Earth

Tom and Jerry: The Space Giants - Fight for the Earth is the third full-length installment of the theatrical animated film series, Tom and Jerry: The Space Giants.

Ranautis and Drox
A strange, fatal disease spreads across the Earth starting with Tokyo, Japan. All who come in contact with it turn blue. The cause of the disease is Rodak's new monster, Ranautis, who has the power to turn red blood cells into blue blood cells. At the Shimokawa School of Martial Arts where Mikko Mura, Robyn Starling, Tom Cat, Jerry Mouse, Quacker, Spike and Tyke Bulldog were practicing karate with their classmates under the direction of the trio of teachers, the Shimokawa Brothers (Oten, Jun'ichi and Seitaro), one of them suddenly becomes ill and is taken to the hospital. Mikko's father Ito and his assistant Liz go to the hospital to talk to the doctor about the disease. Checking medical records, the doctor discovers that all patient with the disease have been transferred to Moz Hospital. Unknown to the Earthlings, Doctor Moz, who runs the hospital, is working for Rodak. He kidnaps the patients and replaces them with replicas under his control. Mikko, Robyn, Tom, Jerry, Quacker, Spike and Tyke sees Doctor Moz at work and tells his friend that his sister has been replaced by a imitation human. Meanwhile, Ito discovers Moz's true plans, and the authorities including Droopy the Master Detective Hound, his son Dripple and their ally Screwball Squirrel make a raid on the hospital. Doctor Moz escapes by a rocket ship that was hidden beneath the hospital roof.

Ranautis attacks two cars containing the Muras, Liz, Gam, Tom, Jerry, Tuffy, Quacker, Spike and Tyke, but Gam and Tuffy forces him to withdraw. The monser attacks again, and Ambassador Magma is called to help. The robot's missiles strike Ranautis, only to melt away. Trying another weapon: a colored liquid, Magma causes the beast to retreat. Two workers come across a group of life-size dolls, only to discover that they have heartbeats. Frightened, they call the police. It is discovered that Ranautis absorbs the blue flowers and changes the pigment of the flowers into a ray of energy which penetrates the human body, causing all red blood cells to turn blue. At Mount Olympian, Methusan tells Magma that only the seeds of the rare Balango plant can cure the disease. The Muras, Gam, Robyn, Tom, Jerry, Tuffy, Quacker, Spike and Tyke head to a deserted island to locate the Balango seeds. Only Robyn, the Muras and their pets hire a plane to take them to Balango Island, but the crew turn out to be the Lugo Men. Mikko is given a sleeping pill by the stewardess, and then the pilots tell Ito that they work for Rodak. The Lugo Men disappear, leaving no one at the controls of the plane. Ito remembers Mikko's supersonic whistle and blows it one time. Gam and Tuffy flies to their aid, and talks them for a landing, guiding them into their rocket forms. Arriving on the island, the Muras, Robyn, Gam and their pets meet Mary, the daughter of the scientist Dr. Araki they were supposed to rendezvous with. Mary tells them her father has died. The guide of Balango, Zamba, and his three mice assistants; Jerry and Tuffy's cousin Muscles (a mouse who resembles Jerry, but with a green bowler hat and a yellow shirt) and uncles Pecos (a cowboy mouse) and Harry (a dark brown mouse who wears a red Hawaiian shirt with yellow flower patterns) leads them in search of the Balango seeds. The Lugo Warriors blow up a bridge, but Gam and Tuffy quickly transforms into rockets and carries their friends across. Going on foot into the jungle, they are met by Magma, who tells Ito that he must return to Tokyo. Magma leaves with Ito while Robyn, Mikko, Gam, Tom, Jerry, Tuffy, Quacker, Spike, Tyke, Harry, Muscles, Pecos, Mary and Zamba continue their quest. They find the seeds in a cave which is guarded by another of Rodak's monsters: Drox.

While waiting for Drox to leave the cave entrance, Gam and Mikko get into an argument about whether it is better to be a human or a robot. Gam feels insulted and flies away to Mount Olympian, leaving Tuffy, Muscles, Jerry, Harry, Pecos, Tom, Quacker, Spike, Tyke, Mikko, Mary and Zamba alone on the island. Methusan decides to show Gam what if feels like to be human. Gam suddenly finds himself stripped of his rocket powers and becomes a real boy. He also learns that he has developed human fear. Methusan explains to him that Earthlings are different than the rocket people of the Planet Kanata in the Galaxy ZRF. Gam, having learned his lesson, returns to being a rocket boy. Following Zamba's instructions, Mary begins playing her flute. Hearing the music, Drox begins to dance, and like the pied piper, Mary leads him away from the cave. As the monster dances away, Mikko, Robyn, Tom, Jerry, Tuffy, Quacker, Spike and Tyke goes toward the cave to retrieve the Balango seeds. But Rodak sends Ranautis to block the entrance and attack the gang. Mikko calls Magma for help, and all of a sudden, the Ambassador finds himself caught between the two monsters. While Robyn, Mikko, Gam, Mary, Zamba, Tom, Jerry, Tuffy, Muscles, Spike, Tyke, Harry, Pecos, Quacker Magma turns the two creatures against each other and they are soon destroyed. At Magma's advice, Mikko and Gam become friends again. The seeds are collected and delivered to scientists to help cure the blue blood cell disease.

The Great Noronda
Rodak sends three black liquid blobs that can impersonate humans to steal a secret formula. They head to the Research Center, where a conference is taking place with world scientists and a member of the United Nations. Changing from men to liquid blobs, the aliens get by the conference guards and steal a formula that eats vegetation, the substance which Lugo Men and Animals are made of. Ito and Mr. Starling are assigned to follow up on the scientific conference. The Lugo Men and Animals overhear a scientist telling the two partners that the formula Rodak stole was not real, but only a decoy. Not willing to be fooled again, Rodak sends his latest monster creation Noronda to Earth… a giant creature made of metal, which can paralyze any type of machinery with a red energy ray from his mouth. Having left the Mura's house to let Toodles, Toots, Tim, Spike and Tyke to take care of their kids Slats, Jackie, Coffee, Tanner, George, Leo and Dorothy with security insurance, Tom and Jerry, Robyn and Mikko, and Tuffy and Gam (in their rocket forms) fly to the last reported location of Noronda and confront the creature. Gam and Tuffy flies around and around the monster’s head. Getting dizzy, Noronda falls backwards and shatters. But, to the gang’s surprise, the Noronda's metal body regenerates, and the monster lives again. Using the supersonic whistle, Mikko summons Magma to fight Noronda. After Magma shoots his missiles at the monsters, breaking him into small pieces. However, the monster just reassembles itself the second time and stuns Magma with his paralyzing ray. But the Ambassador withstand the blast and forces him away with his Gamma Ray.

In Mount Olympian, Methusan tells Magma that he knows how Noronda breaks up into small pieces, and explains how Magma can destroy the monster. Disguised as humans and ordinary animals, the Lugo Men and Animals once again trying to steal the formula, kidnap the scientist Dr. Kura at the airport. Ito and Mr. Starling sees the car pull away and gives chase. A hand grenade is thrown at Ito’s car, and they are both injured. The Lugo Men take Dr. Kura to a secret hideout for questioning. At the hospital, Ito and Mr. Starling tells Mikko, Gam, and the Cat and Mouse families that they must find Dr. Kura because he is carrying the formula that can destroy the Lugo Men. A Lugo Man breaks into the hospital and captures Ito and Mr. Starling, taking them to the same hideout as Dr. Kura. They force the doctor to give them the formula. Gam and Mikko rescue Mura and Kura and head for the launching pad where the formula can be loaded onto a rocket and shot skyward, showering down to destroy all the Lugo Men. But it is discovered that the doctor is actually a Lugo Man and the formula is a substitute which will kill all of mankind, and not the Lugo Men. Magma chases after the missile, but Noronda stops the Ambassador with its paralyzing ray. Tuffy and Gam flies to help his father and is able to break the creature into pieces. Magma catches up to the rocket and destroys it. In the meantime, the Lugo Men and Animals question the real Dr. Kura. He refuses to tell them where he is hiding the formula. The bacteria are actually hidden in Kura’s shoe, in a secret compartment he himself is not even aware of. Rodak orders the Research Center destroyed, and the Lugo Men and Animals attack. Onboard the rocket form of Gam and Tuffy, Robyn, Tom and Jerry uses their radar to find the doctor and tries to rescue him while Noronda appears and traps them in his giant hand. Mikko calls Goldar for help, and the heroic robot arrives on the scene, forces Noronda to drop the gang and fighting the creature, until Rodak infuses it with more power from his spaceship. Transportation in the city stops as Noronda freezes all mechanical parts.

Meanwhile, Rodak causes all laws of nature to act in reverse… rivers run backwards, the Earth begins to split into sections and plate glass begins to shatter on its own. Rodak’s new Titalia bacteria spread, covering its victims with a brown mold. One of the scientists suggests that a certain chemical will counteract the bacteria. Tuffy and Gam are called to disperse the chemical into the air. An x-ray photo is taken of Noronda’s heart. Back at Mount Olympian, Methusan tells Magma that the heart of the creature is located just below the rib cage. When Noronda breaks up, Magma must catch and destroy the heart, making it impossible for Noronda to reform.
