Plot
Henry Stickmin loves spending time with his friends, perfecting his distraction dance and pursuing crazy missions. One day, the news warns everyone that a giant spaceship is coming to destroy earth. When it comes, it kidnaps all of Henry's friends. Henry decides to go on a perilous mission to get them back. When the aliens return, to kidnap more people, Henry sneaks on and it flies away.

There he meets a cloud named Cloudy, who claims that he watches over all life. The aliens of the ship notice Cloudy, giving time for Henry to escape. He suddenly finds his best friend, Ellie, there. She agrees to help Henry on his mission, followed by Cloudy. They escape before the alien leader, Plex, notices them.

Planning out where to go, Cloudy recommends Pluto, explaining that Plex and the aliens invade all the planets for power, excluding Pluto due to it being "useless".

The gang hi-jack a rocket passing by and fly into space, where they are met by a space commander named Nebula, who is doubtful of Henry, but decides to join them anyway, much to Cloudy's dismay. Cloudy tells Henry in private that Nebula is a childhood rival of him. Henry assures Cloudy that everything will be okay.

The four pass by a space restaurant named The Cosmo Tavern serving cheeseburgers. The owner, Pogo, gets in conversation with Henry, Ellie, Cloudy and Nebula, when he discusses his dreams to go on a space mission, asking to join them. Agreeing, they leave The Cosmo Tavern.
