Plot
Humans and Disney characters co-exist in harmony in Disneyville, the most magical star in the sky. Mayor Lawrence Pierce and Mr. Ziploc take Vanellope von Schweetz and her pet iguana Iggy on a history tour and introduce them to Judy Hopps, Hank, Woody, Agent P, and the Little Green Men. When they build shelter for Woody, Vanellope tells them her sad backstory of when poachers arrested her former friend Banana; Vanellope has been wanting to make her own family ever since. A knight named Murray hitches them on a ride to the Hader's Kingdom, much to Woody's disgruntlement.
King Marcus, the ruler of the Hader's Kingdom, greets the gang. After introducing them to his son, Conrad, they spy on Conrad's sister Sally's singing about longing to marry her brother. Vanellope comforts her by saying Conrad would never abandon her. Woody admonishes Vanellope for delibrately bringing bad luck on her family (saying Sally is too young to be married), and laments that he has not been anywhere since a dragon killed his neighbor. Woody finally agrees to help Sally marry Conrad. After the successful date at the kingdom's pizza place, the group helps a spy named Agent Gadget retrieve three gems out of the hands of a murderous outlaw couple named Ginny and Alan.
By the time they arrive at Ginny and Alan's lair, the dragon chases them, but they narrowly escape when the dragon gets caught on a chandelier. Conrad takes Sally for a rowboat ride across a lagoon, and the two kiss. While looking for a way back to the Hader's Kingdom, Vanellope comes across Banana. Banana reveals that his plan was to lure her to the poachers to be arrested, as revenge for abandoning him when the poachers killed him. After a few pleas from her next-door neighbor Marka, Vanellope turns herself in to the poachers and becomes discouraged. In jail, a skeleton named Skull Housetown informs Vanellope that the dragon is headed for the Hader's Kingdom. Realizing Banana intended to destroy Disneyville all along, Vanellope escapes jail, with help from Woody, who has finally realized the truth of Lawrence's motto. Vanellope, Judy, Hank, Woody, Sally, Conrad, Gadget, Mr. Ziploc, Lawrence, Iggy, Agent P, and the Little Green Men return to the Hader's Kingdom to tell Marcus about the situation.
The dragon arrives at that moment, under Banana's commands. Gadget is reprimanded by Banana, who forces Gadget to reveal his duplicity to Vanellope and the others, because he was secret working for him and was not a real spy. As Vanellope and the others turn hostile towards him, Gadget asks for their trust, having had a change of heart. Enraged, Banana closes in on Vanellope to kill her, but Woody throws him into a kitchen and into a painting, which injures and instantly kills him. Using Sally as bait, Vanellope and Gadget lure the dragon to his death. The bridge crumbles as the dragon is killed, and Vanellope grabs the rope Sally and Gadget are holding. Gadget resigns himself to his fate, lets go of the rope to sacrifice himself, and dies, giving Vanellope the advantage to save Sally.
Three days after Conrad and Sally finally marry, the bridge is rebuilt, and Vanellope and the gang head home. Judy, Hank, Mr. Ziploc, and Lawrence move in with Iggy and Vanellope. Everyone in Disneyville celebrates with the song "We Are Family", and the film ends.
