Big Nate the Movie - The Prince and the Party Pooper is a comedy animated television film from the Nickelodeon animated series based on the beloved comic strip by Lincoln Peirce. It will be released on Netflix on May 6, 2024. It is an extension of an arc from the comic strip due to popular demand.

Story (written a bit like a Wikipedia film plot)
The movie begins in Nate's neighborhood. Francis walks out of his home and heads to Nate's. Before he can knock on the front door, he receives a text message on his phone from Nate saying, "At my grandparents' house today, might join a bit late, sorry." Right then, Teddy arrives. Francis tells him that Nate is with his grandparents today and can't join immediately. Then the beginning credits go on through a montage of Teddy and Francis walking to the beach, showing their season passes, and setting up their spot.

This next scene is based on the Big Nate comic arc from June 21 to July 2, 2021:

Teddy and Francis are chilling at the beach, when they spot “Nate” with a girl. They think it’s just a cousin, but “Nate” kisses the girl. They then joke around about “Nate” being modest. Teddy wants to meet this new girl, but Francis stops him, thinking there’s a reason why “Nate” has been keeping the girl a secret. “Nate” and the girl start looking at Teddy and Francis, so Teddy and Francis wave at them, hoping to be noticed. The girl asks "Nate" if they’re friends of his, but he says he’s "never seen them before in my life". Francis and Teddy go to meet them and asked why he wasn't at his grandparents house. "Nate" then asked Francis and Teddy whether they were talking to him, calling them "blokes", also saying that they interrupted his "snogging session" with the girl. Francis and Teddy then ask why "Nate" and the girl didn't wave back to them, and “Nate” says that he would never wave to "A couple of bloody strangers". He also asks why they kept calling him "Nate", saying that his name was Nigel. Nate then walks up behind them and says “Hi guys!”, to Francis and Teddy, who both freak out. They then realize that Nate and Nigel look extremely similar, so they ask Nate if he noticed anything unusual about Nigel. Nate looks at him for a long time before whispering in Francis's ear that Nigel had weird hair. Francis then says to Nate to look closer at Nigel, asking again if he could see anything weird. Nate still doesn't see anything unusual, so Francis and Teddy finally tell Nate that he and Nigel were like identical twins. Nate and Nigel then both say that they look nothing like each other. Nate then says that he and Nigel looked nothing alike, and Nigel agrees, saying that he was much better-looking. Nate disagrees with the better-looking part, but Nigel says that what he said was true, also saying that Nate was a "hot mess". Nate and Nigel then start insulting each other's features, while Francis says that Nate was literally is own worst enemy, with Teddy saying that he was not surprised.

The fight is about to get physical when Francis uses his smartphone to take a picture of Nate and Nigel. Francis shows it to them, and they're both shocked. Nate and Nigel apologize and properly introduce each other. Nigel says that he is from a royal family in London, England, UK because his father is a distant cousin to the Queen, and that he is homeschooled. His girlfriend, Anette, and her family moved to Maine (Nate's home-state), USA, and before she left, she asked Nigel to come visit her sometime. Nigel claims that he successfully convinced his family to take him with them to Maine for Summer break, and that's how he got there and continued the relationship. Nate talks about his life suffering through school and home. Francis comes up with a brilliant idea; Nate and Nigel can switch places during the September-December semester and see how it all goes. Nate initially objects to that idea, but Nigel likes it. Soon, Nate agrees, and he and Nigel give each other their phone numbers and home addresses.

On the morning of the first Monday of September, Labor Day, Nate goes to a royal mansion rented by Nigel's family, the Ryes, for their Summer break. Nigel is at the front door wearing his regular shirt; a blue shirt with yellow on top (the opposite of Nate's shirt colors). Switching outfits is easy; they just trade each other's shirts without having to do it privately. Nate and Nigel say goodbye and good luck to each other. Nate enters the mansion, while Nigel starts walking to Nate house with an evil grin. At the mansion, Nate meets Nigel's sister Elena and his father Merlin Rye, who make him pack Nate pack "his" things since they have to leave in the evening to get to the airport. Merlin also asks Nate to promise not to misbehave in the UK, and Nate promises despite being a bit confused.

Nigel goes to Nate's home. Nate's dad Marty Wright greets him and asks, "Hi Nate, had fun today?" Nigel replies, "It's all right, Father." Ellen comes in and says, "What's up, squirt? I bet your pals are crying after seeing you leave early!" Nigel responds, "Whatever, mate", leaving her confused at the "mate" part. After dinner and getting ready for bed, Nigel has a good night's sleep, thinking about tomorrow "being the first day of a new era". Meanwhile, Nate, Elena, and Mr. Rye take the plane to London, and arrive on Tuesday morning. Once they arrive at the Rye's royal mansion/flat, they curtsy to Mr. Rye's distant cousin, the Queen of England. Nate meets the Rye family butler, Sir John Elton, who helps set up Nate's meals and tea, along with homeschooling work. Nate does not like tea, but he drinks it anyway whenever it is served to keep his "UK rep", and he is delighted about being homeschooled. He wonders in his mind how difficult his new lifestyle can be, having started quite easily.

Throughout September and October, PS38 has become more unbearable for both the kids and the teachers, as Nigel is basically a rude arrogant stereotypical jock annoying his classmates and teachers, the opposite of how a Brit should really behave. Whereas Nate has become more polite to fit in with royal customs and manners, much to the delight and suspicion of everyone.

On Halloween night when the "3 amigos" were supposed to go trick-or-treating, Nigel stands Francis and Teddy up and left a note on his house's front door saying, "Sorry, I don't hang out with gits like you two. Tata! - Nigel". Francis and Teddy start to feel concern for Nigel's behavior. Nigel is also causing problems in the Wright's home. He has taken over and wrecked Ellen's room, and Ellen tells him to "get out of my room, spaz, or get beaten to a pulp." Offended by Ellen's rudeness, especially the offensive word "spaz", Nigel blackmails Ellen, threatening to, if he doesn't get his way, publish her diary on the internet along with photos of her embarrassing memories, like when Ellen lost her bikini in the city pool, all to be done faster than she could beat him up. So Ellen is forced to stay in the filthy messy room that belonged to Nate. Mr. Wright has done all he could to discipline and punish Nigel, but Nigel is able to get past his groundings and continue his bad behavior. After being unable to prevent Nigel from ruining dinner on Thanksgiving evening, Mr. Wright ends up in withdrawal and begins to question his position, with his parenting skills on the verge of fading away.

In mid-December in the UK, a special guest has arrived to the mansion, a courthouse judge that goes by the name of Sir G. Nate promises to behave extremely well in the presence of Sir G. and understands how strict Sir G. and that one careless mistake could send Nate on trial with the judge deciding the punishment. Fortunately, Nate is able to maintain his good behavior, until one day when Sir Elton asks Nate and Sir G. if they would like some tea. Sir G., who is standing behind Nate for some seemingly unfathomable reason, politely insists that Nate orders some tea for him and himself. Nate asks for two teas, one for him and one for Sir G., and in the process, points the V-sign to indicate the number 2. The back of the hand doing the V-sign is facing Sir G., thereby becoming an insult. He screams, "AH-HA!! I told you Nigel is the same bloody rude git as before! I shall take him away." Nate is dragged away and cries out for help, but the royal family, having to respect the judge, could not do anything about it.

Meanwhile in the US, Francis and Teddy are walking home from school to begin Christmas break from when they hear a voice calling their names, it's Anette! She explains to to them what Nigel is really like. Nigel is the opposite of a typical Brit. Instead of being well-behaved and polite like a Brit should be, Nigel is rude and destructive, causing trouble all over London. He was in a primary school, and it was Year 6, his final year there when he met Anette and started dating. She is the only person Nigel has ever been polite to. However, near the end of Spring semester, Nigel was expelled and sent to homeschooling after a fight with the school bully. Anette's parents, thinking Nigel is "bad news", moved to Maine, USA, and took Anette with them, despite her disagreement. Nigel successfully convinced his family to have a summer vacation in Maine, after threatening to trash up the mansion if they don't. Anette was surprised to see Nigel in her new neighborhood, but nonetheless, they reunited and continued their relationship, albeit secretly. Back in the present, Anette says that she's having second thoughts after receiving a voice message from Nate, who was calling via his one phone call in prison saying that he has somehow messed up big-time and fears what might come of the awaiting trial, ending the message with "Help me, you're my only hope!", in homage to Star Wars: A New Hope. Francis and Teddy agree to help Anette save Nate.

They walk over to Nate's house and knock on the front door. Nigel answers the door coldly, Francis and Teddy hold up a mirror to him, and Anette plays the voice message. Nigel realizes his mistakes and the possible consequences that may occur. He breaks down in tears and apologizes to Francis, Teddy, and Anette for what he has done to them and Nate. Nigel agrees to help them go to UK to rescue Nate. He convinces his family to spend Christmas break in London, threatening to trash up the house even further if they don't. Mr. Wright, still in withdrawal, agrees and ask Nigel to promise not to misbehave in the UK, and Nigel promises. Then they all start packing.

Meanwhile in the London courthouse, Nate is in the trial and Sir G. announces, "The court is now in session, presented by me, Sir Gastley!" That's when Nate recognized him as Gastley, from the Max and the Midknights book Nate has that chronicles the historical salvation of Byjovia by the eponymous group. When Gastley asks for any questions before proceeding with the trial, Nate asks, "Sir Gastley, I thought dragons carried you away to be eaten, according to this book, and what are you even doing in this era?" Gastley explains that Bruce, the dragon carrying him, lost grip, and Gastley fell into a whirlpool that teleported him into present day London via a manhole (similar to Enchanted). He found a home to stay and a job suitable for his hostile judgement, that of course being a courtyard judge. Back in the present, Gastley calls Nate to the stand and tells him to explain his actions and what the consequences might be. Nate explains that he has done nothing wrong and all he did was ask for two teas, gesturing the sign again to demonstrate. Once again, the back of the hand doing the V-sign is facing Sir G., thereby becoming an insult. He screams, "AH-HA!! See that?! Nigel has disrespected me and deserves punishment for contempt!" He charges Nate for contempt of court with the punishment being execution ("OFF WITH HIS HEAD!!"). However, before he could take Nate away, a group of people have barged into the courthouse; it's Nigel, Ellen, Mr. Wright, Francis, Teddy, and Anette!

Mr. Wright tells Gastley to let Nate go or have Nigel's royal family arrest him. Gastley responds, "You can't arrest me, I'm the judge! I run the courthouse, and I decide who stays and who goes! What's your sad pathetic excuse of a queen gonna do, politely ask me to go to jail? Yeah right." Then the rest of the royal family arrive; Elena, Merlin Rye, Sir Elton, and The Queen who overhears the insult and orders Gastley to be arrested. Gastley dashes out of the courthouse and into the street. He notices a coach (bus) coming in his path and jumps out of the way, accidentally falling into the magical manhole. He is teleported into the soldier-armor-littered dragon cave from the North in the 14th century, where all the dragons, including Bruce, are about to feast on Gastley himself.

Back in present day England, Mr. Wright explains to Nate that it was expensive to take the plane all the way to here in the UK and slightly tough to tell the royal family the whole dilemma and convince them to rescue Nate, but it all worked out in the end. Nate is absolutely grateful for his friends, family, and Nate's royal family saving him. They all celebrate with a special dinner on Christmas day. Nate and Nigel switch back to their normal selves, Nigel has promised to be more polite and respectful, saying that he's a "changed man", and Anette and her parents decide to stay in the UK full-time again and continue her relationship with Nigel. As Nate, Teddy, Francis, Ellen, and Mr. Wright start leaving for the US and say goodbye to Nigel, Anette, Elena, Mr. Rye, Sir Elton and the Queen, Nigel asks Nate to call him sometime. A week later in the US, after Christmas break is over, Nate goes back to school as usual, but he is confused and scared when his classmates and teachers start glaring at him angrily for what Nigel has done.

Trivia

 * This movie will air in the US with no problems. However, it may be challenged in the UK due to its portrayal of negative British stereotypes and usage of words censored in the UK such as "git", "bloody" (those two said by Nigel and Sir Gastley), "spaz" (said by Ellen), and the V-sign insult (accidentally done by Nate).
 * This is the second Netflix original film to be produced by Nickelodeon Movies, like The Loud House.
