Wonder Pets: International Rescue

Wonder Pets: International Rescue is the first movie in the Wonder Pets franchise.

Plot
With the Wonder Pets now being adults now, their dedication to animal rescue has become a full time job to them. Gone are the days of singing and use of a tiny fly boat. Now, they are a professional team of animal heroes who save animals in their cutting edge rescue ship. After rescuing a kitten from falling off a bridge onto a high speed freight train, the Wonder Pets have rescued their 1000th animal. The Animal News Network, does a story on their success over the years. The Wonder Pets admit that when they first started rescuing animals, they never thought it would become as big as it is now.

Meanwhile from a dark lair, someone watches the Wonder Pets news report. He does not like what he's watching. He says that the Wonder Pets are too overrated and that someone should teach them that they are not as great as everyone thinks they are. He turns off the tv and reveals himself to be a falcon.

Back at their base, which has now been repurposed from the old school house they used to be pets for when they were young, the Wonder Pets reminisce over their early days as heroes. however, their reminiscing is cut short by their animal distress alarm. they head over to their screen to see what's up. They are shocked to find out that a dog had managed to get to the top of a skyscraper and is now hanging off the side. The Wonder Pets quickly suit up and go to their rescue ship.

As the dog hangs from the side of the building, the Falcon lands in front of him. The dog asks the Falcon why he took him up here. The Falcon tells the dog that he wants the Wonder Pets to try to save him. But they will fail. The dog tells the Falcon that the Wonder Pets are the greatest team of heroes he knows. But the Falcon tells the dog that he will make them fail and prove that the Wonder Pets are not as great as everyone says. The Falcon then puts a small explosive device next to the dog. he tells him that if the Wonder Pets don't save him in 10 minutes, the bomb will explode, sending the dog falling to his death. The falcon then flies off. Soon after, the Wonder Pets arrive to save the dog. Ming Ming goes to the side of the rescue ship to deploy the rope ladder. But the Falcon comes out of nowhere and cuts off the ladder with his talons. The Wonder Pets are shocked to see the Falcon. Linny tells Tuck to activate the defense cannon, which fires a foul smelling fluid that is supposed to deter predatory animals that attack them. The falcon is able to evade the first few blasts. But he eventually gets hit. He is grossed out by the liquid that is now covering him. However, he suddenly smiles as says that time's up. A small explosion suddenly goes off right next to where the dog is hanging. The dog is knocked off the building and begins falling. In a spontaneous act, Ming Ming jumps out of the ship and flies down to save the dog. She grabs the dog with her feet and is able to slow down the fall so that when they land on the ground, neither of them are hurt. Seeing this, the Falcon gets mad due to his plan failing. He then flies away.

After taking the dog to a safe place, the Wonder Pets ask him how he got to the top of the building, why the Falcon was after him, and what that explosion was. The dog tells them that the Falcon took up to the top of the building and planted the bomb near him so that he could make the Wonder Pets fail at saving him. Linny asks why the Falcon wanted them to fail. The dog responds by telling the girls that the Falcon wants to prove that the Wonder Pets aren't the perfect heroes everyone thinks they are. The Wonder Pets are shocked by this. Linny then tells the dog about what happened to Ollie. Back when they were teenagers, they had a 4th member on the Wonder Pets team. His name was Ollie. now back then, the Wonder Pets were still using the fly boat and singing their theme song everytime they went to rescue an animal. So one day, they got a distress call from a baby mountain lion. He was lost in the woods. The Wonder Pets quickly came to try to save him. but when they got there, a pack of coyotes had surrounded the baby. 1 of the coyotes jumped at the fly boat. The fly boat was able to avoid the attack, but the sudden jerk of the fly boat caused ollie to fall out. The coyote caught him and killed him. The baby mountain lion was killed shortly after. It was the first time the Wonder Pets failed to save an animal and lost one of their own in the proces. That was when the Wonder Pets realized just how serious their job as heroes were. After that, they changed their style completely. They replaced the fly boat with the rescue ship and made sure that what happened that day doesn't happen again. The dog was saddened by the story and hopes that the Falcon never succeeds in his goal.
