Crossover: The Movie (also known as Icons: The Movie or The Character Squad in other countries) is an upcoming British-American CGI/2D animated action adventure-comedy parody film directed by CreativePenguin50 as the RNW movie to be directed by him.
It is written by Jennifer, and produced by Travjt. It also has music by rapper Lil Pizza.
It was expected to be released on Spring 2020, but was delayed to July 2020 and then to September, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Its new release date will be on December 11, 2020.
The beginning of the movie introduces Iconville, a city in Los Angeles, California, full of pop culture icons and other characters. We're introduced to the main protagonist, Mario, and his brother Luigi, who are heading a flight to Prague, Czech Republic, endorsed by the mayor of the town, Mickey Mouse, and his wife, Minnie Mouse. They meet up with some of the other heroes, mostly Princess Peach, Yoshi and his cousins, as Mickey wishes them a safe trip and plays Iconville's National Anthem.
Meanwhile, a flight from a small island in Ireland arrives in Iconville, lead by Utsuro and Iroha, who plan on destroying the place. They spot Mr. Ratburn, and kidnap him, taking him into a cellar they had set up an hour earlier to hypnotize him. Utsuro orders Iroha to pull a lever to brainwash him, which she reluctantly does. With the newly brainwashed Evil Ratburn, the three round up their troops and enter the town.
When they do, Bowser rips open the door to the mayor's house, where Utsuro demands to know where some of the heroes are. After Spinel captures Minnie, Mickey tells him that they went to Prague. Utsuro orders Spinel, Gaz, Supreme Dog, Bonzi and Bowser to stay behind, as he brings the rest of his force back to the plane.
At Prague, the heroes are enjoying a ceremony held by MC Monkey. Arthur and Buster tell everyone that they received a message from Binky about how Mr. Ratburn has gone missing from Iconville. While nervous, Sonic assures them that they'll investigate once they get back home.
At that moment, Utsuro enters with his troops, attacking the facility the heroes are in. Confused, MC Monkey tries to eliminate them from what they're doing. Throughout the chaos, Master Frown tries to kill Crong and Gumball, but the two are saved by Paty, Peach is captured by Vendetta and Four, and Iroha spills some secrets to Mario and Luigi in secret.
