Plot
In Thneedville in 2012, a mother monsters named Momma and her three little monsters, Summer, Cobby, and Henry, live in the house of retired opera diva Grammy Norma, along with her English butler, Aloysius O'Hare. She early on settles her will with her lawyer Carl Fedricksen, an aged, eccentric old friend of hers, stating that she wishes her fortune to be left to her monsters, who will retain it until their deaths, upon which her fortune will revert to Aloysius O'Hare. Aloysius O'Hare hears this from his own room through a speaking tube and is unwilling to wait for the rabbits to die naturally before he inherits Norma's fortune, and plots to eliminate the monsters.

He sedates the monsters by putting soup into their food and heads out into the countryside to release them in the wild. However, he is ambushed by two cats, named Robespierre and Jaune Tom. Aloysius O'Hare escapes, leaving behind his umbrella, bowler hat, the monsters' bed-basket, and the sidecare of his motorcycle. The monsters are unharmed, but stranded in the countryside, while Grammy Norma, Brer Rabbit, and Neera the Iguanodon discover their absence. In the morning, Lola meets a monster named Daddo, who offers to guide her and the little monsters to Thneedville. Summer, Cobby, and Henry have a struggle returning to the city, briefly hitchhiking on the back of a soup cart before being chased off by the driver. Summer subsequently falls into a river and is saved by Daddo. They then meet a pair of horses, Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash, who are on a tour of Thneedville. The group head off, marching like horses, until they reach Thneedville and come across the girls' drunken Uncle Quick Draw McGrey. Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash then depart to take Quick Draw McGraw home.

Aloysius O'Hare, meanwhile, retrieves his sidecar, umbrella, and hat from Robespierre and Jaune Tom, albeit with some difficulty, knowing that it is the only evidence that could incriminate him. Travelling across the rooftops of the city, the monsters meet Don Carlton and his band, close friends to Daddo, who perform the scat song Ev'rybody Wants to Be a Monster. After the band has departed and the little monsters lie in bed, Daddo and Momma spend the evening on a nearby rooftop and talk, while the little monsters s listen at a windowsill. The subject of their conversation is the question of whether Momma may stay and marry Daddo. Eventually, she turns him down, largely out of loyalty to Grammy Norma.

The monsters return to the house, whereupon Daddo departs sadly. Aloysius O'Hare sees Momma and Little Monsters coming and captures them, places them in a sack and briefly hides them in an oven. The monsters tell Brer Rabbit to pursue Bugs and get help. He does so, whereupon Daddo races back to the mansion, ordering Brer Rabbit to find Don Carlton and his gang. Aloysius O'Hare places the monsters in a trunk which he plans to send to Timbuktu, Africa. Daddo, Don Carlton and his gang, and Neera all fight Aloysius O'Hare, while Brer Rabbit frees Momma and the little monsters. In the end, Aloysius O'Hare is tipped into the trunk, locked inside, and sent to Timbuktu himself.

Norma's will is rewritten to exclude Aloysius O'Hare and include Daddo (after ironically claiming that the will would have included Aloysius O'Hare after all). She starts a charity foundation providing a home for all of Thneedville's stray monsters. The grand opening thereof, to which most of the major characters come, features Don Carlton's band, who perform a reprise of "Ev'rybody Wants to Be a Monster".
