Plot (Story)
The beginning of the movie starts with Bunnicula scaring Chester as usual. As Chester runs off, he bumps into Harold who is stuck in the pet door. As he pushes him, Chester suddenly realizes how soft Harold's butt is and purrs liking it. Soon, Harold gets unstuck.

After getting him unstuck, Chester tells Harold and Bunnicula how he's hurt and sick of Bunnicula scaring him expressing his emotions. The dog and vampire rabbit feel bad. But as soon as he gets back inside, Chester overhears Bunnicula and Harold thinking they’re saying he deserves to be scared and is a boring dull cat because of how he loves reading and science. Feeling he's no longer needed, Chester runs away from home and far, far away from Orlock Apartments.

The next day, Bunnicula and Harold decided to throw an apology party as they explained that when Chester misunderstood the “Chester is a boring dull cat because of how he loves reading and science” part. After getting Harold unstuck, he and Bunnicula go to tell Chester about the party. However, they find a note from Chester stating that he ran away. Bunnicula and Harold both become horrified and remorseful for themselves. Bunnicula feels guilty that it's his fault Chester left because of the multiple times he scared him. The two plan on searching for him but Bunnicula can't be near the sun. Luckily, Lugosi gives Bunnicula an apple that gives him the ability to survive the sun.

Meanwhile, Chester is at a bus stop and arrives at a bus heading away from Orlock Apartments and into New York city. Once there, Chester explored the city. However, he sees some dogs and feels sad because it reminds him of Harold. Just then, a boy named Isaac noticed Chester sad and surprisingly can understand the cat. Isaac decides to take Chester home as Chester appreciates that.

Once at Issac's home, Chester meets the other pets, a St. Bernard named Hubert and a female rabbit named Julia. Chester starts to cry as they remind him of Bunnicula and Harold. Chester then begins to sing “I'm Not Wanted”

Meanwhile, Bunnicula and Harold are at the jungle searching for Chester. Bunnicula then feels discouraged feeling it's his fault Chester left because he's playing tricks on Chester too much. Bunnicula then sings “Bunnicula’s Lament” The two then realized if Mina finds out Chester is gone, she'd be heartbroken. The two then are determined to find their feline friend.

Sure enough, Mina comes back to the apartment and is heartbroken that her pets are gone. Her dad suggests to hang up missing pets posters.

Meanwhile, Chester is still sad about Bunnicula and Harold. Just then, he sees Mina out the window. He hides behind Hubert not wanting to see Bunnicula and Harold again. Mina asks Isaac if he's seen his pets. Understanding Chester's emotions, Isaac says no.

Meanwhile, Bunnicula and Harold are at the same city Chester was and feeling exhausted. Bunnicula sits on the steps sobbing quietly feeling they'll never find Chester. Chester then hears the crying and sees Bunnicula on the steps. Bunnicula squealed in excitement and joy as he spotted Chester and hugs the cat, sobbing. Chester starts to sob too as he was sobbing exclaiming, "Oh, Bunnicula, I missed you little buddy!". Bunnicula tries to explain that he and Harold were looking for him.

But because Harold is the only one who can understand Bunnicula and usually has to translate for him, Bunnicula leads Chester to Harold. Chester sheds tears of joy and rushes to hug Harold as Chester hugs Harold's big belly. Chester explains that he ran away because of what he overheard. Bunnicula and Harold then explain that Chester misunderstood them, that they were gonna throw them an apology party and say they're sorry for how they treated him. Chester sobs and hugs the two now happy to see the two want him and sing “I'm Glad I'm Wanted”

The three go back to Orlock Apartments. Harold gets stuck in the pet door again and Chester chuckles as he missed hearing that before pulling his paws and Bunnicula pushes. After the dog got unstuck, Mina sees her pets and hugs them shedding tears of joy. After celebrating being together again, Harold gets a snack and Bunnicula scares Chester but only to give Chester a present. It was a heart with a poem reading how Chester is important to Bunnicula and Harold. Chester then pets Bunnicula happy Bunnicula is Chester's friend.
