To obtain the hand, two rivaling groups must embark on a race across the River Styx, as well as facing their worst fears.

He eventually goes back to the future to make sure that things were set right. The credits roll, showing the aftermath for each character.
Dennis Prince, of DVD Verdict reviewed the movie saying All told, Billy & Mandy's Big Boogey Adventure is a gift from Atoms, and an indulgence of all the goodness and gooeyness that has made the series a top draw on Cartoon Network. Despite the boogers, bare buttocks, and boorish humor, this court finds no real crime has been committed. Case dismissed .[2] MaryAnn Johanson, of The Flick Filospher reviewed the movie saying “ 'Full-length movie. Full of boogers!' promises the blobby green sticker on the DVD. And it’s true. But somehow, the tons of gross-out potty humor manages to be delightfully goofy -- perhaps it's the irresistibly cheerful spin cartoonist Maxwell Atoms puts on his demented twisting of kiddie cartoons [3] It was nominated for an Annie Award for Best Music in an Animated Television Production.[4]
