In the fifth installment of the Cine Gibi series, Smudge and Jimmy Five find themselves engaged in a lively debate over the ultimate action film. Seeking a resolution, they turn to their friend Franklin, known for his inventive prowess, to organize yet another round of projected comic book film sessions using his colossal blender.

Lord Raider and an endearing little robot companion reside in the far-off realm of Planet Carrotland. As fate would have it, a cosmic spark from the radiant Pulsar star strikes the robot just as he becomes smitten with Princess Mimi, a charming pink bunny. However, their newfound love faces a significant obstacle when the king decrees a grand tournament in the kingdom, intent on determining who shall earn the honor of marrying the Princess.

A journey back in time in the form of a cartoon with characterizations of the Trapalhões, from the time of the Roman Empire to the present day, through the Middle Ages, the Old West and the First World War. They begin the film by doing a stand-up show at the Teatro Scala, in Rio de Janeiro, receiving on stage the designer Mauricio de Sousa. From then on, the story unfolds in a cartoon, in which Os Trapalhões is chased by an evil wizard whose aim is to try to hold Didi's (always unsuccessful) hand to rule the world during the passage of the famous Halley Comet.

Our heroes need to take a trip in time, in a Time Machine, in order to recoup the essence of the four elements before the Earth gets frozen. The Gang will face the dangers of the Ancient History with Piteco, will help Papa-Capim to save the Forest, will fight with the Astronaut against the pirates and will even meet themselves as babies in the past!

Franjinha, the inventor kid in Monica's gang, tired of reading the comics, invents a new device to read the stories: a kind of a story-processor, that swallows the printed pages and projects the scenes in movement, on the wall.

Embarking on a whimsical adventure, Monica and her friends take center stage in four captivating tales. The first, "O Plano Infalível," showcases Jimmy Five's latest scheme to defeat Monica and her indomitable bunny companion. In "Um Amor de Ratinho," Monica attends a costume party dressed as a mouse, unaware that a small mishap would awaken a genuine mouse's affectionate feelings towards her. The third story, "A Ermitã," sees Monica bid farewell to her friends, venturing alone into the heart of the forest to live an independent life. Lastly, in "O Império Empacota," Jimmy Five's courage and true affection for Monica are unveiled when he fearlessly engages in an interplanetary battle against aliens, all in an effort to save his beloved big-toothed friend.

Seeking a fresh and innovative experience, Franklin ventures into a novel approach to comic book reading—animated comics. To bring this idea to life, he sets out to invent a colossal blender that not only engulfs comic books but also projects them as captivating films. The characters from Monica's Gang are thrilled by the prospect of witnessing their beloved comic book adventures unfold on the big screen. Filled with excitement, they extend invitations to their real-life friends, eagerly preparing for the grand premiere of this extraordinary cinematic experience.
