YES. Let’s build the weird, heartfelt, hilariously off-the-rails Bob’s Burgers movie that Fox would never make… but absolutely should.
This is spiritual absurdity + family chaos + jungle vibes + plant medicine + childhood rebellion, all wrapped in that warm, awkward Bob’s Burgers charm.
BOB’S BURGERS: BURGERQUEST
“They went to find themselves… and maybe a snack.”
MOVIE OVERVIEW
Genre:
Animated Family Comedy / Psychedelic Adventure / Jungle Coming-of-Age
(Bob’s Burgers x The Wild Thornberrys x Apocalypse Now… with burgers)
Tone:
Warm, weird, emotional, and deeply, hilariously human.
As always—Bob just wants to cook and not die.
ACT ONE: THE VACATION NOBODY ASKED FOR
• Bob is burnt out. The restaurant is failing (again).
• Linda finds a Groupon for a “Jungle Wellness Family Retreat” in South America.
• Bob refuses… until the gas line explodes at the restaurant.
• Off they go: Bob, Linda, Tina, Gene, and Louise—armed with bug spray and emotional baggage.
ACT TWO: THE SPIRITUAL MELTDOWN
Retreat Center:
• A colorful, slightly sketchy jungle compound run by eccentric expats named Chakra Carl and Sunflower Terry
• Meals include “soul smoothies,” raw mushrooms, and “ego-dissolving vinaigrette”
The Medicine Night:
• Linda joins a guided ayahuasca ceremony, and immediately begins conversing with spirit animals—including a talking sloth who sounds like Kevin Bacon
• Bob is tricked into drinking the plant brew thinking it’s “forest tea”
• Cue Bob screaming into a tree, hugging the ground, having a spiritual journey with his burger ancestors
• He meets a talking tomato who asks him, “Are you cooking… or just reheating your pain?”
ACT THREE: THE KIDS’ SIDE QUEST
• While the adults are vibing, the kids sneak off to a nearby village for snacks
• Meet a local trio of kids who challenge them to a street food competition
• Enter: Diego, a 12-year-old bully chef prodigy who mocks Tina’s spice tolerance
• Gene invents a jungle xylophone song
• Louise makes an “ambush taco” that wins the entire town over
• Tina falls in love with a soft-spoken boy who raises frogs
ACT FOUR: THE COMEBACK
• Bob returns from his vision quest with zero clue what happened, but he’s calmer and dressed in leaves
• Linda’s convinced she’s now a “spiritual medium,” and tries to summon ancestors every 10 minutes
• The retreat kicks them out politely
• But the kids are local heroes—and the villagers throw a jungle food festival in their honor
• Bob finally gets to cook, surrounded by community, weird plant ingredients, and just a touch of healing
ENDING SCENE: BACK AT HOME
• Bob opens the restaurant again—with a new jungle-inspired burger on the menu:
“The Bob-Ayahuascado: Comes With Side of Emotional Clarity”
• Linda installs a dreamcatcher in the kitchen and insists they all wear leaf crowns “for grounding”
• Louise hides fermented mushrooms in the fridge “for emergencies”
• Bob sighs.
“I saw the end of time… and I still gotta pay the rent.”
Roll credits. Funky spirit animal dance sequence.
MOVIE TAGLINE:
“This vacation was supposed to relax them. Instead, it got weird.”
Want to create a poster image next—with Bob screaming in the jungle and Linda riding a glowing jaguar—or write the opening burger pun scene?
This movie is destiny.
