Dreamworks Unite!

Dreamworks Unite! is a crossover animated movie featuring the characters from seven of the Dreamworks' movies, The Bad Guys (2022), How to Train Your Dragon, Rise of the Guardians, Over the Hedge, Kung Fu Panda, Spirit Untamed, and Abominable! It will be released on the late summer of June 2023.

Overview
Mr. Wolf, now a good guy-for real, is enjoying his new life as a crime fighter after living for a long time in the darkness of a criminal. All things go smoothly (despite struggling with a few changes) until his old enemy, Professor Marmalade, returns for revenge by assembling all the villains from different Dreamworks worlds and creating a villainous team to take over all worlds and turn everyone in the city into mind-controlled zombies with his new mind control device powered by the piece of the love crater meteorite, while the other villains work on their own plots with highly powered towers. Wolf has no choice but to escape the horde of his zombified friends until he stumbles upon a portal that takes him into North's workshop in the North Pole, and meets Lucky Prescott and her horse friend Spirit, Po, Jack Frost, RJ the raccoon, Yi and Everest the little yeti, Hiccup and his dragon friend Toothless.

Now teamed up with his new friends, Wolf must travel to all of the Dreamworks' worlds to put an end to the Dreamworks' villains' plot with his new pocketwatch that seems to contain magic powers from the legendary crescent moon-shaped crystal called the Dream Crystal. All while he learns about the new things outside his world, trust, accepting changes, and that even though he and his new friends come from different worlds, they are a family when they are united!

Plot
In a beautiful wintery evening, Jack Frost was making snowballs for the children to play with when he sees the Northern Lights up in the sky, meaning that North the leader of the Guardians was signaling everyone to come to the North Pole. It seemed to Jack that it was urgent, so he flew all the way to the North Pole while E.aster Bunnymund, Tooth, and the Sandman were heading there as well.

As all four of the Guardians arrive in North's home, North announces that, to everyone's horror, the globe in North's workshop are starting to dim or are going out again because...Pitch Black is back! And he is not alone this time as Pitch has teamed up with some other villains that will plot to take over every world with whatever they might have in store. But to keep everyone's hopes up, North adds the good news: the Dream Crystal has been found.

Tooth gasps in surprise as she says that she thought that it was hidden a year ago after they made it. Not anymore, North replied, as the Man in the Moon told him that it and the pocketwatch that North, Bunny, and Jack created, have been found in a city of Los Angeles, home of a band of former criminals called the Bad Guys. Curious, Jack asks who these Bad Guys are as the crystal's vision changes to a group of anthropomorphic animals driving in a black mobile car: a gray wolf, a huge snake in a Hawaiian shirt and hat with emoji pins on two sides, a green piranha, a great white shark, and a female tarantula.

E.aster Bunnymund scoffs at the vision of the gang, doubting that those are the Bad Guys as North firmly responds to Bunnymund that they are, only they have reformed after being released from prison for their good behavior. When Tooth asks what was so important about them, North explains that the Man in the Moon said to him that one of them will claim the Dream Crystal and use it's powers to protect their world and other worlds outside of it. Jack wonders who one of them could be when the crystal seems to be reading his mind as it zoomed to the gray wolf who was driving the car.

Sandman mutedly asks what they will do when Jack Frost comes up with an idea: if the villains can assemble each other, then they can assemble heroes, including one of the Bad Guys with the Dream Crystal, from other worlds, can assemble too. Although, Tooth was unsure about this as much as the Sandman, North, and Bunnymund were. With confidence, Jack believes that it will work, like the time when Jamie and the kids fend off Pitch and his nightmares the last time.

After a brief moment of concern and getting a skeptical look from Bunny, North slightly nods and puts Jack Frost's idea into good use when a few more lights on the globe start to flicker. Quickly, the three Guardians went to get to work while North assigns Jack to find these heroes to help him and gives him the teleportation globes to enter their worlds. Jack Frost replies to North that he won't let him down, but before he could throw the globe to make the portal to the first world, North adds to Jack to not worry about the wolf, as the Dream Crystal will make a portal for him to bring to the workshop. Nodding, Jack Frost jumps into the portal until he finally, he was gone.

In the city of L.A., Mr. Wolf and his friends, the Bad Guys (now known as the Good Guys), are at work catching criminals and bringing them to justice. A flashback is seen of every criminal being thrown in jail in a row as the last one is seen behind bars. The day finally ends with Wolf and his friends entering their house, exhausted as Wolf lands on the couch face flat. He was glad that they've put another criminal in prison, and not him and his friends since they've been the Bad Guys a long time ago, but when Wolf's phone buzzed, he groaned as another crime had been reported in the bank once again. Although they were still tired and stressed out, Wolf and the gang made their way back to their mobile to take care of yet another crime.

Later that night, at the newly repaired SU.C.M., a prison cell is seen with a huge hole made underneath the bed. The scene changes to the part of Professor Marmalade, who had dug his way out of the prison island and escapes through the tunnel he had created last month and hops into a motor boat driven by his henchman Cuddles. As the motorboat stops at the docks, both Marmalade and Cuddles step out of it to head to an abandoned warehouse with a strange machine that hadn't been used for years. Just then, as Marmalade clapped his hands, the lights of the warehouse turned on automatically and so did the machine as it hummed with activity. Then, as the machine is turned on, a portal activates as Marmalade smirks evilly and walks up to it until he disappears when he steps through it. His evil plan was just beginning.

The next day, more crimes were reported and the Bad Guys were still hot on their tails as they captured more criminals. As they finally finish their work, Wolf collapses on the couch again when Diane enters the house to see how exhausted he was, being the city's new crime fighter and all. Wolf rolls to see Diane hovering about him with a smile as she came in to cheer him up with a gift as a reward for a great job: a silver pocket watch with a beautiful moon-shaped crystal from an antique shop. When Wolf opens it, he sees a picture of him and his friends and the cat cuddling him, plus a quote underneath it that says "No matter where you are, friends are always by your side."

Smiling softly, Wolf thanked Diane for the gift then looked back down at the crystal on the pocketwatch as he touched it. Suddenly, the moon-shaped crystal seems to be glowing that Wolf blinked in surprise. But Wolf dismisses that as he thinks he's seeing things because he was working too hard all day.

At midnight, Professor Marmalade and Cuddles were busy putting a few more adjustments into a machine that they've been working on. Just then, seven familiar villains stepped out of the shadows as Marmalade welcomed them into his crew and thanked them for coming. Pitch Black replies with a bow that it is a pleasure to be a part of Marmalade's "little party" and Dwanye thanks him for breaking him out of prison back in Suburbia, although he added that Gladys was enraged about not joining the escape, then asks why they are all hear on the count of their arch enemies defeating them in the past. This question leaves the other villains in question and agreement as Marmalade explains his plan: he will use the machine that Cuddles had found not so long ago to hypnotize every resident in the city and make them into their mind controlled zombie slaves. While they are under his control, Marmalade will have a chance to pull off his biggest heist yet by using them to give him everything he desires.

Marmalade rubs his hands together when Hendrick asks what about him and the other villains as Professor Marmalade explains that he and Cuddles, along with Dr. Zara, have planted every one of these evil machines in every one of the villains’ worlds and are already in activity so the rest of the villains will have a chance to take over their enemies' worlds and recreate them into their own kind or steal anything they desire, but the machines can only be activated with some energy they will have to steal. As long as they stay active with the stolen energy, no one will get in the way of their evil plans. Not even the heroes who have defeated them years ago will stand a chance.

The villains find this very amusing as Dwayne imagines getting rid of every animal that crosses the lines to Suburbia and Pitch Black exclaims that he will give every child the worst nightmares they will never forget. Marmalade admires the villains enthusiasm until Tai Lung asks in confusion how he will mind control everyone as Marmalade shows him the piece of the love crater meteorite that Cuddles had found in the rubble of his old mansion. And it still glowed with power. As Marmalade inserts the final touch into his machine, he switches the lever to ON, and the scene shows a turquoise wave that had everyone (except Wolf) opening their eyes wide and glowing a turquoise light, then being controlled into coming out of their homes. Marmalade’s face breaks into a devious grin as he watches all the L.A. civilians, including Snake, Webs, Piranha, Shark, Diane, and even the cat under his control through a computer screen.

While the villains laugh in chorus evil, Marmalade rubs his hands together again and says sinisterly "Let the fun begin."

The next morning, the alarm clock in Wolf's bedroom buzzes loudly. Tiredly, Wolf presses the button to turn it off before letting out a long yawn and stretching his arms as he gets out of bed and heads for the bathroom. After he finished brushing his teeth, showering, and putting his usual clothes on then taking his pocketwatch off his nightstand, Wolf made himself breakfast and read the newspaper, As he was eating, Wolf notices that his friends hadn't come down to the kitchen- not even the Cat came down to eat his food that Wolf poured into his kitty dish bowl. Wolf checks the time on his pocketwatch to see that it's early and wonders if his friends left without him (and probably brought the Cat out for a walk) or are still sleeping in.

After he drinks his coffee and eats the last of his breakfast, Wolf decides to go up to their rooms to wake them up, only to find that his friends' bedrooms were empty and their beds weren't made. So Wolf decides to go out into the city to see if his friends are out there as he heads over to the car and drives his way to the City Hall while leaving a message to Diane that he is on his way there and tells her to tell his friends that he's on his way when he tried to call her. Just as Wolf finished sending his voice message, he notices around him that the city is empty too, like a ghost town. What was going on, he asked himself in confusion.

Later, Wolf arrives at the City Hall to see a big crowd standing around, much to his curiosity as he gets out of his car and walks up to a man to ask him what's going on but gets no response. Wolf tries again but lets out a shocked scream when the man turns around to face him with a blank expression and his eyes glowing turquoise before walking over to join the crowd. Wolf decides to see what was really going on as he makes his way through the crowd and goes up the steps to see his friends, Diane, and the Cat standing like statues. As he approaches them, Wolf asks his friends what was going on but they just stayed silent as Wolf tries to get them to talk by snapping his fingers, waving a hand over their faces, and calling out their names, but still getting no word out of them. Again, Wolf asks himself what's going on.

Suddenly, a familiar, sinister voice behind him answered "I'm glad you asked, Wolf." as Wolf spun to face someone he hoped to never see again: Professor Marmalade! Wolf snarkily asks Marmalade what he was doing out of prison. Marmalade explains that he had a little help from his old friend, Cuddles, to break out of prison, and furthermore, he wanted to enjoy the outside world as being in one of those S.U.C.M. cells have been very stuffy. Wolf asks him again, this time in annoyance, what is going on here and why his friends and everyone in the city are acting strange as Marmalade explains the real reason: he is responsible for the citizens' strange behavior because he has control of their minds. As Wolf asks how, Marmalade responds that it's for him to know and for only his archenemy to find out, but as for now, until Wolf can really find out, Marmalade orders the brainwashed Chief Misty Luggins and the other brainwashed police officers to escort Wolf to a "safe and comfy place."

However, before the chief and the police could catch him, Wolf jumps out of their reach and makes a run for it when Marmalade shouts at everyone to get him and they follow Wolf, who managed to get to his car until they cornered him. But just as they were about to grab him, Wolf stops everyone and proclaims that this is all some crazy dream and adds that he is going to pinch himself, then wake up in his bed, and see that everything is normal. Unfortunately, nothing happened when Wolf gave himself a pinch on the arm and let out a painful scream. Looking around the zombie army, he asks awkwardly that he's still awake as Marmalade lets out a laugh before he sarcastically responds yes, then orders his zombie army to catch Wolf again. Quickly, Wolf got into his car but it wouldn't start when suddenly, coming out of the car's hood was a brainwashed Piranha, who had been chewing on the wires to prevent Wolf from escaping. Wolf gets out of the car and runs away from the horde when he realizes he still had his grappling hook with him.

Wolf makes his escape as he lands on top of the roof buildings, thinking that he was safe. But not for long when Diane (in her Crimson Paw suit) and the other Good Guys appeared behind him and tries to grab him, but Wolf cunningly dodges them and uses the grappling hook again to make another escape, only to go too high and fall into a nearby woods where he lands in a tree and falls from it with a thud. Letting out a deep sigh, Wolf lets his beating heart relax and presses his back against the tree, believing that he is safe... or so he thought when he hears the zombies entering the forest and the brainwashed Shark gets the scent of his blood when Wolf looks down to see that he got a deep cut on his arm from falling off the tree. Once again, Wolf runs while holding onto the cut on his arm and getting some blood on his hand, when he realizes he dropped his pocket watch!

Thankfully, it wasn’t far from Wolf as he spotted it and picked it up after dusting some dirt off the moon-shaped crystal. Suddenly, the crystal glowed more brighter than before and a bright light appears out of nowhere as Wolf shields his eyes before he adjusted them and peered through the blinding light to discover that it's some kind of portal that leads somewhere and sees some figures through the portal, wondering who they. Just then behind Wolf, he heard his friends coming closer and were closing in on him as Wolf finally had no choice but to jump into the portal and as the zombies were getting closer to grabbing Wolf, he tripped then fell right into the light portal with a scream until everything went white.

Later, the portal pops into some kind of room and Wolf shoots right out of it, landing on the floor of a huge workshop-like cabin room. He shakily gets up on his knees when Wolf hears unfamiliar voices and turns to see standing in front of him were a preteen girl with wavy wild hair, a teenage boy with white hair and a staff, another teenage boy with brown hair, a teenage Chinese girl with short black hair and a bag with a violin case in it, a raccoon with a bag strapped around his chest, a fat panda bear wearing pants, and with them was a mustang horse, a yeti, and a black dragon with green eyes, who were crowding around him as Wolf flinches from how they were too close while the brown haired boy said with a chuckle that that's the "big, bad wolf" and comments that he doesn't look all big, bad to him before the pale skinned and white haired boy tells him that where Wolf comes from, everyone fears him before he reformed. The raccoon comes up to Wolf and opens his mouth to examine his teeth and notes that he'd seen way scarier big animals like Vincent, but Wolf was low on the scary ranking level, much to Wolf's offense.

The wavy haired girl senses Wolf's discomfort and tells everyone to give him some space as she helps him up, then introduces herself as Lucky and introduces Wolf to her mustang friend named Spirit. Then introduces the other six as RJ, Hiccup, Yi, Po, and Jack Frost and the young yeti and black dragon, as Everest and Toothless, to Wolf when she takes notice of Wolf's cut that makes her concerned.

Wolf says with a sigh that he got himself into a 'little accident.' Lucky decides to take care of that as she asks Jack, who nods, and lets the elves help her by bringing out a chair for Wolf to sit down. Then, more elves came in with some cleansing alcohol, tweezers, and cotton balls as Lucky got to work on cleaning the blood off, making Wolf wince, and then bandages it up with a piece of her sash she rips off since there weren't any bandages in the workshop because the elves used it to aid three of the reindeer who had a sprained knee last week.

While Lucky was busy tying the sash piece around Wolf's cut, Wolf sees Hiccup talking to Jack Frost about something about being this chosen one and a crystal. As if sensing Wolf’s confusion, Jack tells him that it might be hard for him to believe but they need to fill him in on what's going on. Wolf questions if it's about the strange morning he had where his friends became mindless zombies that almost tried to catch him until he fell into a weird portal that brought him here... wherever here was, because from the looks of the place Wolf saw around him, he could tell that he was not in Greater Los Angeles anymore. And to top that off, Wolf asks what was the deal with the crystal Jack and Hiccup were talking about.

Jack Frost leads Wolf to a giant crystal that emerges from the floor and the light from the moon shines on it and it creates a vision that shows Professor Marmalade. As Wolf looked up at the vision the crystal was making, Jack Frost explains that last month, Pitch Black (aka the Boogeyman) had teamed up with Wolf's archenemy, Professor Marmalade, who used a machine to travel to different worlds and has every villain team up with him to take over every world by powering up energy sapping towers that gives the villains powers to control everything and everyone.

Wolf nods slowly, knowing that his first question was answered, but then adds that Jack hasn't answered his second question about a crystal he and Hiccup were talking about. Could they mean the big crystal in the room, or the moon-shaped crystal that Wolf shows Jack when he pulled out his gift from Diane gave him back home. When Jack looked down at the pocketwatch, his eyes slowly widened as he took the pocketwatch out of Wolf's hands, much to Wolf's shock. While Jack was examining the pocketwatch with the crystal and saying that it is, Wolf was starting to get impatient that he snaps, causing everyone to get shocked and stare at him with bewildered expressions. Seeing everyone in this state, Wolf clears his throat apologetically, saying that he just has so many questions that he wants answered. With a sigh, Jack Frost decides to answer Wolf's second question as he hands him back his pocketwatch and the vision of the big crystal changes.

Looking up at the crystal's vision, it changes into a moon-shaped image that looks just like the crystal on Wolf's pocketwatch. As Wolf eyes the picture, Jack explains that long ago after the defeat of Pitch Black, he and the Guardians: North, Bunnymund, Tooth, and the Sandman created the Dream Crystal to prevent any more of Pitch's darkness or any other evil from threatening the world. However, the Guardians knew that someone would try to steal it and use it for evil, even if they were to protect it, so Jack came up with the idea to contain the crystal by making a silver pocketwatch that he, North, and Bunnymund made for it, then have the Sandman hide it away until the day someone truly worthy finds it. And today, it did find someone: Wolf!

After a few seconds of silence, Wolf holds up his hands and responds that's just crazy, much to everyone's surprise as he apologizes before adding that he only means that this is all too much to take in: a bunch of villains teaming up to take over some worlds, being chased by your friends turned into zombies, and then having to fall into a portal that takes you to a weird place. Not only that, the talk about the Dream Crystal, as Jack Frost had called it, choosing Wolf is just making things all complicated. He asks why would the Dream Crystal choose him as Wolf brings out his hand to gesture to Yi, Lucky, Hiccup, Toothless, and Spirit, saying that the crystal would've chosen either one of them, or even Po and RJ, whom Wolf calls a "rat with the bushy tail and the mask."

Feeling offended by the comment, RJ marches up to Wolf and firmly states to him that he is a raccoon, not a rat, and notes that raccoons are way more cuter than "big, bad wolves" like Wolf. With his eyes narrowing down, Wolf gives RJ a challenging glare when Lucky snaps at RJ and gives him a light but firm shake of her head that makes the raccoon back off. Wolf admits that it's only because he thinks that he's not cut out for the job, which RJ seems to agree with, when Jack Frost walks up to Wolf, knowing what he was going through, that he explains to Wolf about when he had his doubts about being a Guardian when the Man in the Moon chose him, but even if it took some time, he was able to accept his own purpose after discovering his center which Wolf doesn't get as Jack explains a center is a "purpose."

Still confused, Wolf asks Jack if he means that this crystal is like his purpose or rather, center, as Jack says with a shrug that it kind of, it but what he means is that the crystal chose Wolf because it's seen more than just a scary, big bad wolf or the criminal he was in the past. It believes that Wolf can use it to defeat Marmalade and the villains with its powers, but Wolf still had his doubts about it until Lucky places her hand on his shoulder to comfort him.
