Plot
It’s been a couple of months since the events of the first film, and Keith is living his life. But something is wrong amidst Nintendo Land. Everyone there is glitching out. Now, in order to find out what’s happening, he heads back to Earth, only to find that there’s something much bigger at stake. Add an anthropomorphic duck with a prosthetic leg, and an uncle who isn’t what he appears to be, and Keith might have to do the impossible to save the world: reconnect with his family.

Controversy
This film has been subject to "controversies" when it comes to the depiction of furries and bronies, as well as the portrayal of Karen Deeks. Many in these groups have been "offended" for the way they were portrayed in the movie, not realizing that this is a movie and that they should grow out of their phase. Some of the portrayals include furries being sex maniacs (and loving scatological humor), and bronies being really fat with no lives. Meanwhile, That Vegan Teacher (the person who inspired Karen Deeks) criticised the film for most of its creators not being vegan.
