Monster Family 2

Summarize Fact Check

A young girl named Mila, who is part of the Starr family, infiltrates Count Dracula's castle, where the Wishbone family's old nemesis lives, and captures Dracula, who has been frozen by the latter family.^[a] The family instructs Mila to capture Baba Yaga on her next mission.

The Wishbone family visit a wedding where Yaga and Renfield are about to be married. Mila arrives and abducts both witches. Max, determined to save the both witches, uses Yaga's magic amulet to transform his family into monsters as like before. Meanwhile, the Starr family gives Mila a mission to capture Nessie, the Loch Ness monster. Max and his family heads to Loch Ness by taking Dracula's bat-jet from a farm. There, they find Mila, who starts to attack them. Mila then manages to capture Nessie.

As Mila returns to the surface, Max develops a crush on Mila, but Mila leaves to head to a snow mountain to capture a yeti. As the Wishbones arrive, Fay accidentally triggers an avalanche, which knocks Mila off. She nearly falls off a cliff, but Max rescues her. Mila then sets off to Tora Tora to capture her final monster.

As the Wishbones confront Mila at Tora Tora, a giant gorilla named King Conga appears. Mila captures the gorilla in the middle of the night and heads back to her family. All the monsters are injected to a clone of Mila dubbed Mila 2.0, and her family reveals that Mila is not part of her family. Mila 2.0 is ordered to eliminate the original Mila.

As Mila tearfully flees the headquarters, the Wishbone family arrives, and Mila shares that the Starr family are corrupt, and that she is disowned. Mila 2.0 captures the Wishbone family and takes them to the Starr family. The Wishbones are turned back to their normal forms. Max tries to shrink Mila 2.0 with a shrink gun, but he instead accidentally shrinks the Starr family, wrecking the headquarters in the process. The Wishbones frees the monsters in the ensuing destruction. Max successfully shrinks Mila 2.0. However, Dracula escapes and interferes, swearing revenge, only to be quickly shrunken by Max.

The headquarters begins to collapse, prompting the Wishbones to flee. Mila frees Mila 2.0, but Max falls. While Mila rescues him, Mila 2.0 blinds the original Mila, leaving Max to give command to Mila's control. They successfully maneuver the collapsing headquarters, and they return to the surface. Yaga and Renfield are then successfully married. Later then, a smaller Dracula is imprisoned in a smaller version of his castle, plotting revenge.
