 In the year 2001 , the space station Silicon Valley was launched , housing numerous animals . Seven minutes after its launch , it vanished . Believed to have disappeared forever , it reappears in the year 3000 , and the many expeditions sent to retrieve the space station vanished without explanation . Following this , the duo of Dan Danger and Evo were sent to investigate ; they discover that the animal cargo has evolved and merged with the station 's technology , resulting in animals such as an electronically @-@ powered fox with motorised wheels , and a steam @-@ powered hippopotamus . Evo sets out to fix the control station , which is on a collision course with Earth . Upon arriving at the control room , Evo confronts the Evil Brain , who is fascinated by Evo 's abilities and wants to keep him to complete the collection of robotic animals . The Evil Brain threatens to destroy the Earth , but is quickly defeated by Evo . Despite this , Evo is unable to stop the space station from spinning out of control ; it collides with Earth , landing in New York Harbor . The robotic animals escape and flee around New York City , and Evo sets out to terminate them before they terrorise the planet .
