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 on their way to get some doodleberry pie when Wubbzy trips over a rock and hits his head. He is diagnosed with "knockity-noggin" and is unable to remember who he is, despite Widget and Walden's efforts. The film includes flashbacks to several Wow! Wow! Wubbzy! episodes as Wubbzy attempts to remember his past.[lower-alpha 1] At the end of the film, Widget pushes Wubbzy off his chair. He falls down a hill and hits his head again. When Widget and Walden check up on him, he has recovered his memory and remembers his friends. With things back to normal, the trio set off on their original search for doodleberry pie.
