Kenny Pezike is a naive young man who just landed his dream job working for the legendary animation studio Hogan Bros., only to get laid off a few weeks later due to budget cuts. Kenny, now jobless, comes up with an idea to make two of his lifelong dreams come true. That is to meet all of his heroes and make his own movie. Kenny, along with his friend and cameraman, Paul Emith travel around the world so Kenny can meet all of his heroes. He films at least one interview with them for a documentary that his wishes to enter into a film festival. Kenny discovers that some of his heroes have fallen on hard times or weren’t quite the people he expected them to be. Kenny discovers that the people he idolized are quite flawed themselves and most of them are shocked to discover that they would be anyone’s heroes. Kenny meets many of his heroes on his travels including legendary wrestler Wally “The Animal” Winner, former Hogan Bros. animator Earl Goodjill, puppeteer Ken Jimson, plus size model Kelly McCloud, rock star Juan Jinx, his former improv teacher Danny Kail, stand-up comedian Joey Lovefon, and rapper DJ BlingIt. His first interview is with his parents who adopted him. After collecting and recording all 51 interviews with all of his heroes, Kenny and Paul start work editing their documentary so they can enter in the MoonDance Film Festival. Kenny’s documentary titled “51 Heroes” is a huge hit at the MoonDance Film Festival. Kenny starts getting offers to sell his film. After the documentary is sold to the streaming service, SickFlix, Kenny becomes an overnight celebrity and is now the boyfriend of Kelly McCloud. With the money he makes from his documentary, Kenny starts his own animation studio which is now a rival to the studio that fired him, Hogan Bros.
