Bigfoot Family is a 2020 animated comedy-drama film directed by Ben Stassen and Jeremy Degruson. It is the sequel to the 2017 film The Son of Bigfoot. The film was also released as Bigfoot Superstar.

Plot

2 months after Bigfoot returns home,Шаблон:Efn Adam becomes overwhelmed with the attention his father's newfound fame has brought the family. He is also struggling to confess his feelings to his crush Emma.

Bigfoot wants to use his fame for a good cause. After some protesters send him a letter about trying to stop Xtract, an Alaska oil company that claims to have zero environmental impact on wildlife, Bigfoot decides to travel to Alaska to help them.

Adam helps his father by uploading a promotional video to social media. Swathes of protesters arrive to support Bigfoot. One night, while trying to get a closer look at the company after hearing a loud rumble, Bigfoot mysteriously disappears. Adam and his mother Shelly journey with Wilbur and Trapper to Alaska in their van to find and rescue him.

Arriving in Alaska, Adam and Shelly meet with Arlo Woodstock, the protester who last saw Bigfoot. Shelly follows Woodstock while Adam, Wilbur, and Trapper stay behind in the van. While waiting, they are ambushed by Xtract guards who sedate Wilbur and Trapper with tranquilizer guns but Adam escapes. Adam encounters a wolf who threatens to hurt him, but he strikes a deal with Adam to help him.

The wolf guides Adam to Xtract's worksite before departing, which is revealed to be destroying the wildlife by using small explosions to excavate oil. Adam explores the inside of the company and finds Xtract CEO Connor Mandrake planning to set up a massive bomb that will destroy the valley so that he can excavate the oil easier. Adam records Mandrake on his phone to expose him. Afterwards, Adam is found by Woodstock but finds out that he actually works for Xtract and is responsible for taking Bigfoot and Shelly. Woodstock captures Adam and pushes him into the underground mines.

Mandrake prepares the bomb. After finding Shelly and freeing Bigfoot, Adam escapes with them through the mines. Xtract drones are sent to stop them, but Bigfoot manages to destroy them. While they escape, Adam manages to upload the videos exposing Xtract online before losing his phone. Adam turns back and defuses the bomb, but Mandrake gets a backup bomb that cannot be turned off to trigger the explosion. With the help of Wilbur and Trapper, Bigfoot manages to take hold of it and throws it in the air creating a signal explosion. Mandrake confronts them but the news shows up in a helicopter as well as the police. Mandrake attempts to escape but is interrupted by a moose and thrown into an oil puddle alongside Woodstock.

Some time later, Adam meets with Emma, who reveals that one of the videos he accidentally uploaded was the one exposing his feelings to her. He asks Emma out and she accepts. Emma kisses Adam while his eavesdropping family congratulates him.

The movie ends as Trapper asks for another pancake and it goes on his face, much to his dismay.

Controversy

In March 2021, the movie was targeted by the Canadian Energy Centre, an agency created and funded by the government of Alberta to promote the oil industry and defend it from critics including environmentalists. The Canadian Energy Centre, also called the "energy war room," published a website that accused the movie and its American distributor, Netflix, of "brainwashing" children with misinformation. The website, which was titled Support Canadian Energy, included a petition.
