'''The Loonatics' Adventures in The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland'''

== Plot ==
The film begins with Bert and Ernie introducing the film. As the story opens, Elmo welcomes the viewer, finds his fuzzy cotton blue blanket, and plays with it in his bedroom. After spilling juice on his Blanket, he takes it to the laundromat and has it washed and dried. Elmo then makes music with the laundry equipment, but Big Bird, the Count, Rosita, Baby Bear, Prairie Dawn, and the Loonatics hear it unexpectedly. When he is about to take his blanket home, Elmo and the Loonatics encounters Zoe, who is feeling depressed because her father, due to having to work, cannot take her to the zoo, so Elmo and the Loonatics decide to cheer up Zoe up by imitating some zoo animals. When Zoe sees Elmo's blanket, Elmo denies sharing with her, resulting in a tug of war that rips Elmo's blanket. Upset at this, Elmo declares that Zoe is no longer his friend. Suddenly, Telly Monster inadvertently takes away the blanket while rollerskating wildly, leading into a chase around Sesame Street. The blanket accidentally lands into the hands of Oscar the Grouch, who drops it in his trash can after sneezing into it. Elmo and the Loonatics sans Jewel, Tippy, Suzette, Rarity, Lola Loud, Leni Loud, and Pix E.dive into the bottom of Oscar's trash can, where he finds his Blanket snagged on a door. Elmo and the Loonatics attempts to retrieve it, but he and his blanket are both teleported through a colorful, swirling wormhole to Grouchland, a city filled with Grouches, stinky garbage, and Huxley, a mean, immature and greedy man who steals anything he can grab, including Elmo's blanket. Wanting his blanket back, Elmo and the Loonatics begins a journey through Grouchland. A kind-hearted Grouch girl named Grizzy tells Elmo that his blanket is in Huxley's house at the top of the faraway Mount Pickanose, but also warns Elmo and the Loonatics that they may never make it there. Feeling that Grizzy is right, Elmo becomes discouraged. However, a green plant named Stuckweed, encourages Elmo and the Loonatics that they will make it and that they just has to take his first step into the journey, and Elmo and The Loonatics set out on a quest to get Elmo's blanket back. Meanwhile, the Sesame Street residents, Jewel, Tippy, Suzette, Rarity, Lola, Leni, and Pix E. are informed of Elmo and the rest of the Loonatics' absence and go to Grouchland to find him, with help from Oscar. When Big Bird, Zoe, Jewel and Tippy  find a Grouch police officer and ask him for help, the entire group ends up arrested and imprisoned as the police officer informs them that it is against the law to ask for help in Grouchland.

Meanwhile, when Huxley is informed of Elmo and the Loonatics coming to retrieve Elmo's blanket, he has his trusted sidekick, Bug the bug, and his minions, the Pesties, trap Elmo and the Loonatics in a tunnel. However, Elmo and the Lonnatics gets out with the help of fireflies. Upon noticing that Elmo and the Loonatics are still coming, Huxley has Bug and the Pesties pose as construction workers, set up a fake construction zone, and misdirect Elmo and the Loontics into a nearby garbage dump, where they are forcibly brought before the Queen of Trash for trespassing in her kingdom. At first she assumes that Elmo and the Loonatics might be in league with Huxley, Elmo denies this, but then, he remembers that he refused to share his blanket with Zoe, and feels ashamed. The Queen gives him what she believes is an impossible test by requesting that he blows a raspberry for her, in a set time of 30 seconds. By getting help from the audience, Elmo succeeds at this and the Queen allows him to continue on his way to Huxley's house. Left with no other remaining options to stop Elmo and the Loonatics, Huxley sends his humongous chicken to confront Elmo and the Loonatics, as the chicken mistakes Elmo and the Loonatics for worms. However, Elmo successfully convinces the chicken that he and the Loonatics are not worms, but this only prompts the chicken to toss Elmo and the Loonatics far away, leaving Huxley to conclude that he defeated Elmo and the Loonatics. Resting on a rock, Elmo and the Loonatics realize that night has come, and gives up on returning Elmo's blanket.

Meanwhile, Grizzy sneaks into the jail where she informs Elmo's friends, Jewel, Tippy, Suzette, Rarity, Lola, Leni, and Pix E. that he and the Loonatics went to Huxley's house. Oscar is convinced to help set things right as well as admitting that Elmo and the Loonatics are his friends. He then convinces the police officer as well as all of the Grouches of Grouchland that even though Grouches hate to cooperate, the only way they can finally stop Huxley from stealing any more of their trash once and for all, is if they swallow their pride and work together just once. The police officer releases the Sesame Street residents and the Grouches aid them to go to Huxley's house to fight for their trash and rescue Elmo and the Loonatics.

A caterpillar wakes up Elmo and The Loonatics the next morning on the rock. He gives Elmo and the Loonatics advice to look inside himself and he'll see that he has what it takes to be brave. Taking the caterpillar's advice, Elmo and the Loonatics make it to Huxley's house before Huxley has the chance to make Elmo's Blanket "his" blanket. However, Huxley sends the Pesties to stop Elmo and the Loonatics from making his getaway, but Elmo evades the Pesties by jumping into a nearby laundry basket while the Loonatics run very fast to get help, and Huxley foils Elmo's getaway himself, by grabbing the basket with a remote controlled claw while Elmo is in it, intending to rubber stamp "MINE" on him. Just as Elmo is about to face the fate of never seeing his friends  and the Loonatics again, the Loonatics, Sesame Street and Grouchland citizens appear in time to rescue Elmo, and the Pesties flee in a panic. However, Huxley takes Elmo's blanket again in all the chaos, and it is suddenly sucked it up with the vacuum cleaner nozzle on the front of Huxley's helicopter, as Elmo intentionally falls and launches the basket over Huxley's shoulders, incapacitating him. Promptly, everyone sees Bug at the controls of the helicopter with Elmo's blanket, and Huxley demands it back. Bug refuses, as he has been sympathetic to Elmo, and gives Elmo back his blanket. Elmo is hailed a hero by the Sesame Street and Grouchland citizens, while Huxley, shocked at being betrayed by his own sidekick, fails to regret being greedy and selfish, promising to give back everything that he stole.

Happy to have finally gotten his blanket back, Elmo returns to Sesame Street with his friends and the Loonatics (using a shortcut that Oscar knows of), where he apologizes to Zoe about hurting her feelings, and then allows her to hold his blanket and she happily accepts his apology, agreeing that they can permanently resume their friendship. Elmo then says good-by to the audience and thanks them for helping before going to dance with his friends and the Loonatics, while Bert and Ernie congratulate the audience for playing along and head home as the film ends, but Bert briefly stays to look at the credits, only to leave when Ernie tells him that it is time to feed his pigeons.
