Premise
Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Woodstock, Linus, Sally, Lucy, Peppermint Patty and Marcie discover that the dam is actually barely holding a massive body of water that would flood the town to nearly a mile underwater. A bear tells them that there is a boat at the other end of the town that may save them all, but they have only three days to make it or die. Charlie Brown is having trouble facing the fact that he may be the lonely kid who doesn't have a true love. Along the way, they reunite with Heather, the little red-haired girl who thinks she is a "sister" of Violet, Patty, Frieda and Eudora and a "brother" who is actually Linus and Lucy's brother, Rerun.

Plot
Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Woodstock, Linus, Sally, Lucy, Peppermint Patty and Marcie discover that the dam is actually a dam that is barely holding a massive body of water that could flood the town to nearly a mile underwater. A bear named Alex tells them that there is a boat at the other end of the town that may save them all, but they only have three days to reach it or die. Charlie Brown is also having trouble fearing the fact that he may be the lonely kid who doesn't have a true love.

During the evacuation, a glacier that contains two animals from Africa, a lion and a cheetah, breaks off. When Charlie Brown, Snoopy and Woodstock briefly walk away from their friends, Linus, Sally, Lucy, Peppermint Patty and Marcie encounter Violet, Patty, Frieda, Eudora and Rerun who drive them nuts by playing Whac-A-Mole with them. Charlie Brown is still worried about being the lonely kid, but is surprised when he encounters Heather, the little red-haired girl who believes she is Violet, Patty, Frieda, Eudora and Rerun's adoptive sister. Linus and Sally invite Heather and Fifi to tag along with the group to escape the flood, and she brings her new friends. After a dangerous encounter with the lion and the cheetah from the glacier while crossing a pond, Linus and Sally promote Lucy, Peppermint Patty and Marcie to encourage them to admit and face their fears - Marcie insists that "fear is for scaredy-cats", so Linus and Sally point out that Lucy, Peppermint Patty and Marcie are behaving as if they're the water's scaredy-cats. Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Woodstock, Heather and Fifi discover an area which Heather recalls as the place where she was adopted. She finally realizes she is Charlie Brown's true love and also expresses her suspicions about how different she was from other kids. Despite this bonding moment with Charlie Brown, she distances herself from him when he suggests "saving their friends". Heather and Charlie Brown ultimately make up when they must co-operate to save the group. Linus and Sally are kidnapped by a tribe of beagles who believe Linus and Sally to be king and queen. Linus and Sally light a fire for them, and believe that they finally found respect, but they plan to sacrifice Linus and Sally by tossing them into a volcano; Linus and Sally narrowly escape. The next morning, Linus and Sally tell the others their experience but none are convinced. After being harassed by bears, the group finds the boat behind a field of hot geysers, which separates Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Woodstock, Linus, Sally, Lucy, Peppermint Patty and Marcie from Heather, Fifi, Violet, Patty, Frieda, Eudora and Rerun when Charlie Brown and Heather argue about which way's safest to go through.

When the flood comes, Charlie Brown, Snoopy and Woodstock save Heather and Fifi from drowning as she they were caught in a cave (due to falling rocks), while Lucy, Peppermint Patty and Marcie overcome their fear of water to save Linus, Sally, Violet, Patty, Frieda, Eudora and Rerun from drowning. The lion and the cheetah arrive, but due to Charlie Brown, Snoopy and Woodstock's quick thinking, they are finished off by a rock which falls on them, killing them both. The other kids are at the mercy of the water currents. Meanwhile, Spike climbs up the glacier and at the top sticks the bone he has into the ice. This forms a crack in the glacier, which widens into a fissure, diverting the flood and saving the kids in the town; Spike is then washed away. In the final scene, Heather's mother tells Heather to go to summer camp. But Charlie Brown and Heather decide to remain together anyway, taking Linus, Sally, Lucy, Peppermint Patty, Marcie, Violet, Patty, Frieda, Eudora and Rerun along. Linus and Sally encounter the beagles again - they believe Linus and Sally stopped the flood and invite them to be their king and queen. Lucy, Peppermint Patty and Marcie, surprised to see the other beagles are real, convince Linus and Sally to stay with the others, admitting that Linus and Sally are vital parts of their 'group'.

The epilogue shows Spike having a near death experience after falling into the fissure. He enters a heaven full of bones. Suddenly, he finds himself torn away. He unhappily wakes up, having been resuscitated by Linus and Sally, who he proceeds to viciously attack.
