Eleven-year-old Kevin has a vivid imagination and is fascinated by history, particularly Ancient Greece; his parents ignore his activities, having become more obsessed with buying the latest household gadgets to keep up with their neighbours. One night, as Kevin is sleeping, an armoured knight on a horse bursts out of his wardrobe. Kevin is scared and hides as the knight rides off into a forest setting where once his bedroom wall was; when Kevin looks back out, the room is back to normal and he finds one of his photos on the wall similar to the forest he saw. The next night he prepares a satchel with supplies and a Polaroid camera, but is surprised when six dwarves spill out of the wardrobe. Kevin quickly learns the group has stolen a large, worn map, and are looking for an exit from Kevin's room before they are discovered. They find that Kevin's bedroom wall can be pushed, revealing a long hallway. Kevin is hesitant to join until the visage of a menacing head – the Supreme Being – appears behind them, demanding the return of the map. Kevin and the dwarves fall into an empty void at the end of the hallway.

L'histoire raconte l'aventure de Duck Dodgers à la recherche de « l’Illudium Phosdex ». Cet élément chimique rare, atome constitutif de la crème à raser, ne se trouve plus que sur la mystérieuse « planète X ». Daffy Duck, accompagné de son « Cadet de l'espace » (Porky Pig), fait des recherches sur un tableau et déduit qu'il faut passer par toutes les planètes marquée d'une lettre, et ceci par ordre alphabétique, pour aboutir « naturellement » à cette planète X. Daffy Duck finit par y atterrir. Il en prend possession au nom de la Terre, au moment où Marvin le Martien fait de même au nom de la planète Mars. Les deux champions planétaires vont devoir s’affronter en un combat où la ruse compte encore plus que la force brute. Au cours de leur recherche de la suprématie sur la planète, Daffy et Marvin se menacent chacun d'un pistolet désintégrateur. Quand Marvin tire, il désintègre Daffy en particules atomiques. Mais heureusement Porky le « réintègre » grâce à un pistolet du même nom. Depuis leur vaisseau respectif, Daffy et Marvin s'espionnent ; puis chacun dirige sur l'autre une arme extrêmement destructrice. La planète est peu après complètement détruite, sauf un petit morceau qui flotte dans l'espace et auquel se raccrochent les trois protagonistes. Tandis que Daffy-Duck Dodgers crie victoire, Porky conclut par un désabusé « Oh la belle affaire.

Concerned about the terrible state of the environment, dozens of animals gather for a meeting in Jellystone Park, chaired by Yogi Bear. They decide to leave their homes and search for "the perfect place"; i.e., a place free of pollution, deforestation, and other forms of mankind's despoilment. Jellystone handyman Noah Smitty helps them build a flying ship (which looks like Noah's Ark with a propeller on top) for their journey, and they decide to name it after him. Because "Smitty's Houseboat" is too long to paint on the bow, they name it "Noah's Ark." With Noah at the helm, they travel to places around the world searching for "the perfect place." They start by driving down the highway into the ocean, where they soon end up on the back of a sleeping Moby Dick. Huckleberry Hound is sent down to wake him. They then end up in the Sahara Desert which they originally mistake for a beach. The desert sun causes Yogi to hallucinate and believe he's King Tut until Boo Boo and Noah Smitty arrive. Some moments later, So So spots an oasis. As Yogi and crew settle down to make themselves at home, Lambsy spots a "dragon" which turns out to be a construction vehicle developing a new city. Yogi and the crew then take their leave of the area.

Centuries ago, the Amazons, a proud and fierce race of warrior women, led by their Queen, Hippolyta (voiced by Virginia Madsen), battled Ares (voiced by Alfred Molina), the god of war, and his army. During the battle, Hippolyta beheaded her son, Thrax (voiced by Jason Miller), whom Ares forcibly conceived with her, who is fighting for his father. Hippolyta then defeated Ares, but Zeus (voiced by David McCallum) stopped her from delivering the death strike. Instead, Hera (voiced by Marg Helgenberger) bound his powers with magic bracers so that he was deprived of his ability to draw power from the aura of violence and death he could instigate, effectively rendering him mortal, and only another god could release him. In compensation, the Amazons were granted the island of Themyscira, where they would remain eternally youthful and isolated from Man in the course of their duty of holding Ares prisoner for all eternity. Later, Hippolyta was granted a daughter, Princess Diana (voiced by Keri Russell), whom she shaped from the sand of the Themyscirian seashore and gave life with her own blood.
