Major Nixel and King Nixel have found the perfect plan to defeat the Mixels once and for all, destroying the Maximum Cubit which created them in the first place, when they set out to destroy their homes and the Cubits, the Mixels must do anything they can to defend their planet.

Plot
The film starts with the Warner Bros. Pictures logo appearing, with the Time Warner byline, it fades out, then, the Warner Bros. Animation logo features Daffy Duck and Porky Pig and now, the Cartoon Network logo shows up with all of the seen and unseen cartoon network characters in the movie theater and then fades out, next, The LEGO Group logo falls from above and crashes in the black screen, next, the LEGO Group logo turns into a Rainbow Cubit and explodes, fading to a black screen.

At the time, Planet Mixel and the Mixel-Moon were post-apocalyptic, and was taken over by Nixels, and a 12 year old Flain sets out on a journey to find the Maximum Cubit, eventually, after going through a treacherous journey, Flain collapses when he arrives, he then pulls out a Rainbow Cubit and then activates the Maximum Cubit, which pulses power into the elemental areas nearby, after nothing happens, Flain believes it failed, but when Mixels start emerging from their respective elemental item, Flain is overjoyed, and the Maximum Cubit then brings colour to Planet Mixel and the Mixel-Moon.

The intro starts playing.

A view of the Mixelverse is seen, and zooms into Planet Mixel, music is heard, and it zooms over to the Mixopolis and into Mixopolis Park. A massive party is seen taking place, the Mixels are all throwing a massive Mix Festival, and after tons of Mixing (and Murping), Flain steps onto the stage that the Mixies were playing on and thanks everyone for coming, and after multiple Mixels ask questions about Mixel history after finding an artefact in an Electroid storage unit, Flain tells them that the past will not be revealed, leading to the distrust of many Mixels.

The screen zooms over to the underground base belonging to the Nixels, where Major Nixel and Colonel Nixel are planning the ultimate plan to defeat the Mixels and ruin fun and creativity, after many hours of brainstorming, he announces the foolproof plan to King Nixel, who approves, and sends millions of Nixels to attack each tribal landscape, and destroy them. Vulk, who is on lookout at the Magma Wastelands, notices an incoming swarm of Nixels and warns Zorch and Flain. Flain quickly has the area evacuated, but the Nixels give chase, resulting in the Infernites Maxing to retaliate, after they escape the swarm, they look back at their now destroyed home. The Nixels then advance to the Mines. Back at the Nixel base, King Nixel and Major Nixel are viewing the Nixels attacks on a map, King Nixel asks where Colonel Nixel is, and he finds Colonel Nixel and other Nixels paying a Nixel to have a Living Flame in his suit, which burns him to ashes, but they run when they notice King Nixel.

The Nixels all attack each tribal landscape and destroy them, including Mixopolis, resulting in the Mixels being scattered across Planet Mixel. Few Mixels find other Mixels, and Mix to try and take down the Nixels giving chase, but end up being chased. Eventually, all Mixels find each other, just as the Infernites fly in on a chopper to rescue the Mixels. King Nixel, outraged at this, activates a Nixelstorm, which catches many Mixels in it, King Nixel then throws the captured Mixels into the Nix Chamber, where they will be Nixed. Flain and the tribal leaders quickly find a plan, but before it can be executed, King Nixel intercepts and captures the Mixels on the chopper, however, Flain breaks free from the Nixels grabbing him and attempts to kick King Nixel out of the chopper, however, Flain slips, but grabs onto the side of the chopper, King Nixel walks over to him, about to kick him off, but Flain lets go himself, falling to the ground. Vulk, Zorch, and the other tribal leaders are then thrown into the Nix Chamber where the other Mixels are while Vulk and Zorch are upset that they lost their brother, however, the other Mixels try to cheer them up, but to no avail. After the MCPD attempt to shoot the door, the Weldos breaking the wall (resulting in them breaking the Fourth wall) and a few other attempts to escape, Zorch finds the perfect break-out plan and quickly shares it with the other Mixels. Multiple Mixels form a slingshot when Mixing together, and they shoot Krader from it, causing him to smash against the wall, however, it only briefly cracks the wall, causing Forx and Kramm to use Wuzzo as a battering ram, which breaks the wall.

The Mixels run until they find the Maximum Cubit being Nixed and the Nixels have set up a city around it, they try to get past, but Major Nixel and other Nixels notice them, and surround them. Flain is suddenly revealed to be alive, and tells the Mixels the story of their history after kicking the Nixels away and handing out Cubits to them, resulting in multiple Mixes, the Mixels charge towards the Maximum Cubit, defeating the Nixel guards. The Mixels all touch the Maximum Cubit, causing them to make eight massive Mixes between each series of Mixels, however, King Nixel, Major Nixel and Colonel Nixel congregate with all the Nixels and create three massive mechs. The Mixes defeat Colonel Nixel first, resulting in him spectating the rest of the battle. Major Nixel is then defeated, also joining Colonel Nixel, however, the Mixes then touch the Maximum Cubit again and form the Ultimate Mix, starting the final battle against Nixels. The Ultimate Mix defeats King Nixel and pounds the ground, and punches the Nixels to the other side of Planet Mixel, defeating them and destroying the city. The Mixels throw a party and attempt to make the Ultimate Mix again, but they Murp instead, causing them all to laugh.

During the credits, all of the Nixels are revealed to have survived and are partying, King Nixel refuses to party as he is plotting a new plan, but soon starts partying with Major Nixel.

The final post-credits scene shows Flain activating the Maximum Cubit again, presumably creating more Mixels.
