Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie[4] is a 1995 American superhero film. It stars the ensemble cast of Karan Ashley, Johnny Yong Bosch, Steve Cardenas, Jason David Frank, Amy Jo Johnson, and David Yost alongside the villains cast from the original series and Paul Freeman as Ivan Ooze. Much like the television season that followed the release, it used concepts from the Japanese Super Sentai series Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger, Gosei Sentai Dairanger and Ninja Sentai Kakuranger. It is the first Power Rangers production from Saban Entertainment not to feature any archived footage from Super Sentai. The film is not part of the franchise continuity as the movie takes place in an alternate timeline.

The film was released in between the second and third seasons of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.

Plot
The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers participate with Bulk and Skull in a charity skydive for the Angel Grove observatory, in anticipation of Ryan's Comet which is scheduled to pass by in two days. Bulk and Skull miss the target landing zone and land at a construction site where a giant purple egg has been unearthed. Zordon then summons the Rangers, and mentions Ivan Ooze, a morphological being who ruled Earth 6,000 years before. He was then lured into a hyper-lock chamber and buried underground by Zordon and a group of young warriors. Zordon sends the Rangers to the construction site to return the egg to its chamber, before it is opened. However, Lord Zedd, Rita Repulsa, Goldar and Mordant arrive at the construction site first, and crack open the egg, releasing Ivan Ooze. The Rangers confront Ivan, who unleashes Oozemen on them. While the Rangers defeat the Oozemen, the distraction allows Ivan to escape and he lays siege to the Command Center, incapacitating Zordon, and robbing the Rangers of their powers. They return to the now-destroyed Command Center, where they find Zordon, being outside his time warp, aging and dying, with his only consolation being that the Rangers themselves are unharmed.

Zordon's assistant Alpha 5, suggests using what little power in the Command Center remains, to send the Rangers on a dangerous quest, to the distant planet Phaedos, to seek and obtain the Great Power and save Zordon, which the Rangers accept. On the Moon, Rita rebukes Ivan, for allowing the Rangers to escape, but Ivan usurps Rita and Zedd, shrinking and trapping them in a snow globe, and forces Goldar and Mordant to be his servants. He then sends his Tengu warriors to Phaedos and begins building an army. He uses children to bring his ooze to their parents, and it hypnotizes them into becoming his workforce to dig up his Ecto-Morphicons, twin war machines built during his reign. After finding his father working at the construction site, Fred Kelman, a friend of the Rangers, figures out Ivan's plans.

On Phaedos, the Rangers are almost killed by the Tengu but are rescued by Dulcea, the planet's Master Warrior. Dulcea initially tells the Rangers to leave for their safety, but after hearing of Zordon's plight, she agrees to help and takes them to an ancient temple where they will have to overcome obstacles to acquire the power of the Ninjetti. Dulcea awakens each Rangers' animal spirit; Aisha Campbell is the bear, Rocky DeSantos is the ape, Billy Cranston is the wolf, Kimberly Hart is the crane, Adam Park is the frog, and Tommy Oliver is the falcon. Upon being asked if she could join them, Dulcea reveals that she would begin to age as rapidly as Zordon is if she leaves the temple. She then shapeshifts into an owl to preserve her age. The Rangers travel to the Monolith housing the Great Power, using their wits and martial arts skills to defeat a live fossilized dinosaur skeleton and the temple's four Stone Gargoyle guardians. They retrieve the Great Power, restoring their Ranger suits and powers.
