Plot

It is Ricky Ricotta's birthday, and his parents plan to take him to the dinosaur museum with his annoying cousin, Lucy ("Oh, NO! Not Lucy! She is a little pest!"). Meanwhile, on Jupiter, General Jackrabbit plans to take over Earth. He goes to Earth on his rocket ship, which lands on the dinosaur museum. Lucy, Ricky, and his parents notice the skulls on the dinosaur skeletons are gone, which General Jackrabbit stole. Ricky and his Mighty Robot then go the rooftop of the museum. They find the spaceship there. General Jackrabbit then gets some hair from his tail and puts them with the dinosaur skulls and the cloning machine, and then the machine works. Three eggs pop out of the machine. They then hatch (into a Rabbiactyl, Trihareatops, and a Bunnysaurus). Then General Jackrabbit makes them grow bigger with his 'Meany Machiney.' The Migthe Jackrabbits, but General Jackrabbit blasted the Jackrabbits with the Meany Machiney again. The Jackrabbits defeat the Mighty Robot. Ricky wants to save his robot, so he rang the doorbell on General Jackrabbit's rocket ship. Two Robo-Rabbits open the door, replying that they will only accept Jackrabbits. Ricky gets help from Lucy. She disguised herself into a Jackrabbit. The Robo-Rabbits fall in love with Lucy. While the Robo-Rabbits bake food for her, Ricky snuck upstairs. Ricky finds General Jackrabbit with the Meany Machiney. General Jackrabbit smelled carrot cake, so he goes down stairs to see what the Robo-Rabbits were up to. Ricky then switched the complex controls from "Big, Ugly 'N' Evil" to "Little, Cute 'N' Sweet". Ricky then zaps the Jurassic Jackrabbits. Ricky and the Mighty Robot return the dinosaur skulls and put General Jackrabbit in jail. Lucy finds the little Jurassic Jackrabbits cute, and keeps them as pets.
