Wubbzy's Big Movie! is a 2008 American animated comedy anthology film based on the Wow! Wow! Wubbzy! television series. It premiered on the Starz Kids & Family channel on August 29, 2008. The film was produced by Starz Media and Bolder Media in association with Film Roman and distributed by Starz Distribution.

In addition to some new animation, the film uses several previous episodes of Wow! Wow! Wubbzy! that play out as flashbacks.

Plot

Wubbzy, Walden and Widget are spending the day together in Wuzzleburg. they then decide to get some Doodleberry pie. However, Wubbzy trips over a rock and tumbles down a hill, hitting his head several times. Afterwards, he is unable to remember who he is, nor his friends, and is mooing like a cow. When Widget and Walden take Wubbzy to see Dr. Flooey, he tells them that Wubbzy has "knockity-noggin" (similar to amnesia) and suggests that they share with Wubbzy memories of the trio. The two try several attempts to help Wubbzy recover his memory, which includes Walden showing him a scrapbook of photos of them, and Widget building an invention called "the Remember-When 3000" so that Wubbzy instantly remembers who he is. However, all the attempts fail.

The film also acts as a compilation of several Wow! Wow! Wubbzy! episodes from the first season, that play out as flashbacks to help Wubbzy remember who he is. The episodes include the pilot episode "A Tale of Tails", "Pirate Treasure", "Come Spy With Me", "Perfecto Party", and "Monster Madness". According to Dr. Flooey, the film takes place a week after the events of the episode "The Tired Tail", in which he tells Wubbzy that he hurt his tail last week. The episode "Puddle Muddle" plays before the actual story begins and an animated music video for the song "That's What Friends Are For" is also featured in the movie.

Near the end of the film, Wubbzy still cannot remember anything. Widget decides to use the Remember-When 3000 again, though it grabs Wubbzy and he flies right out of the workshop and tumbles down a hill again. Widget and Walden discover that Wubbzy has finally regained his memories. So, the trio go to get some Doodleberry pie. However, Wubbzy moos like a cow again; he then replies he was kidding, and they laugh about it, ending the film.
