Plot[edit]

The film takes place in Monstro City, a peaceful island in the ocean. Monsters Poppet, Katsuma, and Mr. Snoodle are at home. Katsuma starts talking about starring in Roary Scrawl's documentary about Monstro City. The trio goes into town to meet him. In Monstro City, a strange-looking Flumpy escapes with Fifi through the sewers. Poppet, Katsuma, and Mr. Snoodle enter the diner. Roary Scrawl introduces them to Zommer, Furi, Luvli, and Diavlo. He says he wants them all to star in his movie, which angers fame-hungry Katsuma. The news reports the missing Moshling epidemic and says that arch-criminals Dr. Strangeglove and Sweet Tooth are still on the loose. The news cuts to Buster Bumblechops (who broke his leg during his adventures) talking about a mysterious Great Moshling Egg, which is now on display at his museum. Poppet thinks the egg is an addition to the movie, so they go to visit Buster. Dr. Strangeglove is seen spying in the sewers with the strange Flumpy, who turns out to be his sidekick Fishlips. Fifi is put in the Glumping machine. Dr. Strangeglove and Fishlips steal the egg. Later, the six Moshi Monsters, Blinki, and Roary arrive at the museum. Buster wants to show them the egg only to find it's not there. They find out that the egg was replaced by a Glump. In its place is a holographic kit left by Dr. Strangeglove, ordering them to find three items by midnight - fried Oobla Doobla, a Blue Jeeper's tears, and Frosted Rainbow Rox, which together will make the component to hatch the egg.

The monsters decide to go on a quest to retrieve the three artifacts, get the egg and defeat Dr. Strangeglove. The first stop they went to is Gombulagombula Jungle. The Oobla Doobla is in the Wooly Blue Hoodoo Village [that can communicate whistles]. Poppet and Zommer went separate ways, but Katsuma and the others got captured. Poppet and Zommer soon found them. The Wooly Blue Hoodoos challenge them to a game of limbo. Poppet fails but Zommer wins by using his body parts. The monsters end up getting the first artifact.

During the path, the monsters fall into a trap and an underground candy cave and get stuck in hard candy. Sweet Tooth is revealed to be the one who tricked them. While she was distracted Diavlo melts the candy and gets everyone into the carts and they all flee from Sweet Tooth. Diavlo and Luvli escape but they get captured by Dr. Strangeglove, who then kidnaps Zommer. Later, Katsuma, Poppet, Mr. Snoodle, and Furi get to Jollywood. They soon meet Bobby SingSong. Poppet spies a Blue Jeeper, who likes music and are rare, and tries to catch it. Katsuma falls in an accident, causing the keeper to laugh cry, and Poppet catches the tears by using the bottle. Now that Poppet and Katsuma have two artifacts, they try to get help searching for the last piece, but Furi wanders off (as he is captured) and Katsuma, Poppet and Mr. Snoodle are teleported to the cold mountains after being distracted during Bobbi Singsong's kerfuffle.

Poppet and Katsuma begin to climb up the mountain, but Katsuma and Poppet have an argument and Katsuma shouts, causing an avalanche to begin. Before the three monsters can get buried in snow, Katsuma pulls Poppet and Mr. Snoodle into a cave. The snow covers the entrance up. Katsuma says it was all his fault because he ruined everything and caused awful things to happen. Poppet cheers him up by singing the song We Can Do It and they manage to find the Frosted Rainbow Rox. Katsuma, Poppet and Mr. Snoodle go to a wooden hut where Dr. Strangeglove stands in front of them. Soon, they fight over the egg, and Strangeglove escapes but Mr. Snoodle attacks him. Dr. Strangeglove asks Mr. Snoodle if he remembered when deep down he was a good guy. But before Mr. Snoodle can reply, Dr. Strangeglove says that he lied and pushes Mr. Snoodle out of the hut and he falls to his death. Poppet mourns over him and now Katsuma and Poppet are captured.

In Strangeglove's ship, the monsters are now in a cage ready to be killed while Dr. Strangeglove and Fishlips take the ingredients to the egg. Suddenly, Poppet hears a noise and it is revealed that Mr. Snoodle survived the fall. He explains through his trumpeting that he survived by whistling. He landed safely in a balloon and flew back down to the Moshis. Katsuma doesn't know how to open the lock, because he can't whistle but only blows raspberries, but Mr. Snoodle can. They all free the Moshlings and attack the Glumps, defeating Dr. Strangeglove.

When they return to Monstro City, the Moshi Monsters bring the Great Moshling Egg back to the museum, just before it hatches. The creature is revealed to be a Mrs. Snoodle, and Katsuma whistles for the first time. Deep in the jungle, there are more rare eggs waiting to be hatched in the temple at the beginning of the movie. During the first part of the credits, Mr. Snoodle and Mrs. Snoodle do the Snoodle Doodle, and then pictures showing the aftermath of the film are shown on the left side of the screen while an instrumental of We Can Do It plays.

Go To

Welcome to Jollywood is the sixteenth Moshi Monsters mission and the sixth mission of Season Two.

On the Rhapsody 2, Captain Squirk informs you that the ship is almost ready to leave, they just need their last crew member Splutnik who is, according to sensors, somewhere in Jollywood. He sends Dr C Fingz with you to help because he can use his psychic powers to help find Splutnik.

In Jollywood, Dr C Fingz has a strong reading from behind a poster which reads 'Bobbi Singsong'. (P.S. Clicking the J on the Jollywood sign will get you an E.P.I.C.S.) Clicking the poster reveals a locked door. A blue Snuggly Tiger Cub says that it is the door to Bobbi Singsong's yoga retreat. Your Super Moshi doesn't know what's going on, and so the tiger cub explains that Bobbi Singsong is a huge celebrity in Jollywood and that you've just found his secret yoga retreat but he only lets in monsters with a 'jolly good taste' in music. Dr C Fingz is keen to investigate. Click on the record player and he will tell you it's missing its horn. Click on the creature who looks like Snozzle Wobbleson. He doesn't want to sell the horn but he can exchange it for a red flower with six tear-shaped petals. Now, talk to the one who looks like Moe Yukky. Your monster asks if he's OK and he says (in third person, and his name's Moe Pukka) that he tried this new spice that turned him red and needs something to cool him off. Click on the watering can. Then open up your inventory (the blue bag on the far right) and drag the can onto Moe Pukka. He turns blue and gives you the spice. Now, open your inventory and drag the spice onto the blue flower to turn it red. Click the flower, open your inventory and give it to Snozzani (the shopkeeper who looks like Snozzle Wobbleson) and he gives you the horn. Drag the horn onto the record player. Now click on the record player and tap space over and over again at the right speed to get in. Now, click the door to enter.

In the retreat, a monster named Big Chief Tiny Head is giving 'wisdom' to Bobbi Singsong in primitive talk. When you click on Bobbi Singsong, the Big Chief interrupts and asks who you are. When he realizes you're a Super Moshi, he leaves, apparently for his 'biggum hula dance class'. If you click on Bobbi, your monster will tell him they're looking for a Zoshling. Bobbi Singsong doesn't know what that is and Dr C Fingz points at a levitating creature. Bobbi Singsong says that the Zoshling is 'completely transcended'. You need to get Splutnik down and Bobbi Singsong says that he has a mantra that's supposed to cure deep trances but he's not sure how it works.It goes, 'A smell quite right, an ear's delight, a touch so light.' Click on some food cooking, which smells good. Then, click on a fan that's in the top left corner. Click on the inventory and drag the fan next to the food. Then, click to turn on the fan. Splutnik starts to float downwards. Click on a flute that's next to the soup. Then, open your inventory and drag it to the monster, who plays it sending Splutnik down a few notches. Finally, find a green feather and drag it onto Splutnik, tickling him and breaking the trance. Splutnik is confused. He asks who you are. When you explain, he thanks you and asks where his jetpack is. Then he remembers that Big Chief Tiny Head stole it and put him in the trance. When you ask where he is, Splutnik says that the chief always hangs out at the mountaintop temple. Click the jukebox four times to get an E.P.I.C.S., then click on Bobbi to leave.

At the temple, your monster asks Big Chief Tiny Head why he put Splutnik in a trance. He says that he is researching the jet pack and that the Super Moshi doesn't know who they're dealing with. Bobbi Singsong accuses Big Chief Tiny Head of fraud and challenges him to a dance off. The floor is dirty, so move your mouse to scrub it. Once it's clean, click on the missing stones, open your inventory and drag them onto the dance floor. Then, click the arrow keys to bash the bongos. Big Chief Tiny Head says that he got what he came for, and then, the ceiling with spikes on it starts to lower, and he disappears! Then, Elder Furi comes and uses his staff to save the day. Your monster starts talking to Elder Furi. If you ask where he's been, he says that he got sucked up by Scare Force One, jumped out the window using his cape as a parachute, and spent the next few months wandering around Music Island. Then, he received an anonymous note saying the Super Moshis were in Jollywood. Then, ask how much he knows about Big Chief Tiny Head. Elder Furi doesn't know much but he has C.L.O.N.C. written all over him so we must stay vigilant. He tells you that he will wait at the volcano while you return the Zoshling to his ship. Click the jet pack, open your inventory and drag it onto Splutnik. Then, collect the E.P.I.C.S. and click on Bobbi Singsong to adopt him.

In the Rhapsody 2, you explain what happened to Captain Squirk, who says he will be ready for takeoff soon.
