Announcer:miracle city,

A spicy cesspool of crime

And villainy.

This is the story of

Manny rivera,

Better known as...

[Roars]

Manny: el tigre!

Son of the legendary hero...

White pantera!

Grandson of the evil

Super villain...

Puma loco.

["El tigre" theme plays...]

Crowd: el tigre!

[Sirens wailing]

[Cheering]

El tigre!

[♪...]

[Roaring]

[Roars]

Crowd: el tigre!

[♪...]

Manny, I have a surprise

For you.

You mean we didn't come to

The miracle city mint just to

Watch the criminals drool?

[Groaning]

Um, no, not that.

This.

Behold,mijo, casa de mariachi.

Welcome to your new

Weekend home, the house that

Wholesome mariachi music built.

Mom, this place is amazing.

[Train whistle toots]

Take a look around.

[Video game beeps]

[♪...]

Ahh...

[Bell dings]

It has a tv bigger than

The room it's in.

An ice rink built just for

Bumper cars.

A special sink that has

Hot-and-cold running churros!

Manny, let's go get some

Real food.

[♪...]

Thanks, mom.

Burritos explosivos is

My favorite.

[expl*si*n]

[Kids cheer]

Oh,mijo,look.

Remember when you were younger

And that bull used to

Freak you out?

[Grunts] mom, I was

A little kid, then.

[expl*si*n]

[Screams]

Mijo,it's ok, it's just...

Manny: el oso!

Hello, food-eaters.

I just broke out of jails.

Now give me your wallets.

And leave the money in 'em!

[Roars]

El tigre.

Today's special is pain, man.

[expl*si*n]

[Manny grunts]

[Gasps]

Mom, may I be excused

From the table to take el oso

To jail?

Aw, man, I almost got rid of

The prison lice.

And I'm gonna bust out again,

Anyways.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Manny, wait, he's right.

He is?

I am?

Yes.

Since I've been back, you fought

El oso times.

He doesn't need jail, he needs

To change.

Villains can't change, mom.

Well, maybe they would,

If someone taught them about

Compassion and anger management.

Oh, and how to be lice-free.

I really think...

No, manny.

My mind is made up.

I'll make miracle city a better

Place from the bottom up.

This I swear.

[Crickets chirp]

[Rooster crows]

I can't wait to gets me

Some churros.

Yeah, they're...

Mom!

Super-villains!

You will face the wrath of el...

[Needle scratches off record]

No, manny, these ex-super-

Villains are my guests.

I was just showing them

An exercise where you trust

Your partner to catch you.

Man: oi!

Hey, man, I trusted you.

They're going to stay here

With me for as long as it takes

To steer them away from villainy

And on to the path of good.

This is nuts.

El oso is living here?

And dr. Chipotle, senior, too?

Oh, you've met?

Yeah.

He once sh*t me into space.

With your mother's help,

Dr. Chipotle, senior hopes

Dr. Chipotle, senior doesn't

Do it again.

In the future.

This is el cucharon.

He has the power to control

Spoons, look.

Um, he know me.

El tigre once break my favorite

Wooden spoon in battle.

Awkward...

Sorry about the burrito

Blow-up place, man.

Just so there's no hard

Feelings, I got you something.

[Screams]

Good for you, el oso.

By asking forgiveness of manny,

You can start to forgive

Yourself.

Mom, you can't trust them.

They must be up to something.

Nonsense.

It's like your father says,

"You can't fight evil without

Believing in good."

Oh...

Now would you and frida

Go get us...

Some churros?

Uh, sure.

Ok, mom, churros coming up.

Cold, please.

Hot, man.

Dr. Chipotle, senior is

Allergic to churros.

We gotta do something, frida.

If these guys are gonna pretend

To be good, we're gonna have to

Show my mom that they're

Really bad.

Really bad. [♪...]

[♪...]

[♪...] [Tires pop and brakes squeal]

[Tires pop and brakes squeal]

[Kids cheer]

[♪...]

[Growls]

[Duck quacks]

I can't believe it.

They turned down every chance

To steal, pillage and punch me

In the face.

Maybe they reallydowant to

Change.

Yeah.

Hey, how 'bout I eat some

Churros, that'll cheer you up.

No, frida, I want to watch

My mother change people

For the good.

[Sighs] so close.

People laugh at me 'cause

My powers are silverware-based.

I think that's what makes me

Be bad.

The laughter's turned me in

The criminal direction.

[Cries]

[Cries]

I sorry I laughed, man.

Maybe this will help.

♪ You're a very special person

♪ You matter quite a lot

♪ You're a very special person

To me... ♪

You make it good to be good,

Miss maria.

[Cries]

Gracias.

Good.

We'll pick this up when I get

Back, I have an errand to run.

We should apologize to

The villains, I mean

Ex-villains.

I know, we'll bring 'em cocoa.

Frida: and churros?

Dr. Chipotle, senior?

El cucharon?

Oso, cocoa.

Come on, oso, cocoa-cocoa-cocoa.

They're gone.

Hey, what's going on

Hey, what's going on out there?

Out there?

[Gasps]

Uh-oh.

[Manny grunts]

[Manny grunts]

[Laughs]

[Wheezes]

Mr. Oso, will you do

The honors?

[Manny grunts]

Chipotle: can't reach your

Belt buckle to turn into

El tigre, huh?

Dr. Chipotle, senior thinks

That's just a shame!

What are you doing?

Just some gardening.

And digging a tunnel directly

Under the miracle city mint.

My mom believed in you guys.

She gave you her home,

Her trust, she never gave up

On you guys.

How can you betray her like

This?

It isn't all that hard.

Yeah, mans, I mean, it feels

Really like... Natural, man.

Um, I don't want to do this.

Wha...

Miss maria was the first

Person that was ever nice to me.

Maybe we don't do this, huh?

Ah, yes, yes, no!

Oso, get him.

[Oso growls]

[Roars]

Villains...

[Grunts]

[Bell dings]

Why-ai-ai.

This is for the steak slap,

Man.

Cucharon: oso.

[Oso grunts]

[Frida gulps]

["El tigre" theme plays...]

Churro?

Churro? No...

No...

Hey, everyone, guess who's

Getting a "one week without

Evil" cake?

Mom!

What's... Going on?

Why don't you tell her,

Dr. Betrayal?

Uh...

We were just, um...

We were...

We were about to pull off

The heist of the century, man.

The miracle city mint.

You said you wanted to

Change.

We lied.

Dr. Chipotle, senior advises

You to deal with it.

Deal with it?

You sorry, stinking half-tin

Man!

You ain't gonna rob the mint

On my watch!

Uh, yes.

Dr. Chipotle, senioris.

Oso: there's no escape, mans.

Yes, there is.

I summon... Spoons!

Spoons!

Spoons! Spoons!

Spoons!

Oso: I hate spoons.

Get 'em off, get 'em off,

Get 'em off, man!

[Grunts]

Thank goodness everyone is

Safe.

The churros.

[Cries] the churros.

Take me instead!

[Cries]

What are you gonna do

With us, mans?

You're going back to prison.

But I will give you some

Lice-be-gone.

Ooh.

Mom, I'm sorry it didn't

Work out like you wanted.

You were right, manny.

Peoplecan'tchange.

What are you talking about?

Youwere right, peoplecan

Change, el cucharon saved

The day.

Yes, is true.

I not a villain no more.

I'm gonna give up the crimes

And go to cooking school

Because of you.

I guess one out of three

Isn't bad.

It's a fact.

Manny, I think this might

Take a while to rebuild.

We may be in a smaller place

For a bit.

I don't think it's going to have

A big tv or an ice rink or an

Indoor potty.

Oh, yeah.

But will it have you?

Uh-huh.

Then that'sallit needs.

Aww...

Oso: man.

Dr. Chipotle, senior is going

To be sick.

To be sick. [Gags]

[Gags]

[Gags] [♪...]

[♪...]

Ah,perfecto.

"The th annual celebration

Of heroes, a gala event for

Miracle city's champions

Of justice."

Stop reading that thing

Out loud!

You making me loco.

♪ You cannot ruin my mood.

Manny and I have waited

Years for this day.

Yeah, it's cool.

I'm finally old enough to go.

Papi, what are you doing?

I'm educating the childrens.

The ball, where will she land,

Eh?

So is it somewhere there?

Is it somewhere where?

Ha, ha!

Oh, too bad.

You got to watch better

Next time... [Screams]

Not cool, dude.

Not cool!

What?

You know not to trust me.

But we didn't know we were

Touching stuff that was

In your nose.

Great, now I gotta boil

My hands.

My hands. [♪...]

[♪...]

I can't wait for

The synchronized fighting

Exhibition [laughs].

We are gonna destroy

The competition.

Yes, and I'm glad you'll be

With me when I receive my award,

"Best groomed hero."

You know, good grooming is what

Separates humans from animals.

[Monkey screeches]

Butmijo,best of all is

The pride I feel to have a son

Who is becoming such a fine

Hero.

[♪...]

What's the "hero-meter"?

The hero-meter.

Everyone must be tested and

Proven a hero before they

Enter.

The celebration is avery

Tempting target for villains.

Every year, a few try to

Sneak in.

[Buzzer sounds]

Hey, that thing broken.

Didn't you read my hat, man?

[Gulps]

Don't worry, the son of

White pantera couldn't

Possibly fail...

[Buzzer sounds]

[expl*si*n]

I don't know what you are,

But hero is definitely not

The word for it.

Now please leave before you

Cause a scene!

The hero-meter is never

Wrong.

You should have spent

Less time grooming yourself

And more time grooming

Your successor.

[Laughter]

Uh, who cares what those

Stupid heroes think?

I... Don't care at all.

And if they won't let you in,

I'm not going.

No, dad, you should go

Get your award.

Don't miss it because of me.

I couldn't possibly.

I want you to.

Someone has to show those

Laughing hyenas that rivera men

Don't back down.

Don't back down. Right?

Right?

Man: welcome to the th

Annual celebration of heroes.

Frida: [laughs] look.

Gordo gordo's suit is even

Tighter this year.

[Laughs]

See?

It's funny 'cause... Tight.

There's the synchronized

Fighting I'm missing.

Poor rodolfo.

Manny break his heart, and now

He an empty shell of a man.

[Duck quacks]

Manny, [laughs nervously].

I forget you there.

Um, what I meant was...

Uh, yeah.

Hey, look, I dancing.

[Laughs] see, good, huh?

Oh, I hate this.

There's gotta be some way

I can make it up to him.

Man: breaking news.

We interrupt the celebration

Of heroes to take you to

The celebration of heroes.

Sartana of the dead is attacking

The convention center.

Forget it, sartana.

You'll never get in!

I don't have to.

Becauseyou'llnever get out!

Becauseyou'llnever get out! [Laughs]

[Laughs]

[Groans]

They all stuck in there?

Is time for the list.

"Places I hasn't robbed yet.

Numero one, the place that only

Sells light bulbs."

Have fun, childrens!

Super-heroes, cops,

Fire fighters.

Every hero in the city is out

Of commission.

No.

There's still...

[Roars]

El tigre!

Uh, I hate to puke

In your piñata, but didn't that

Hero-meter thing-y say you're

Nota hero?

Time to prove it wrong.

[Shouting]

[Alarm sounds]

Dude, the villains

Are going crazy!

They're even looting

The bookstore.

[Laughs]

I don't know what these things

Is, but they mine now, man.

It's a total feeding frenzy.

There's only one thing to do.

Stop it.

Join it.

Right, stop it, that's what

I meant.

This is my chance to make

My dad proud.

I'll be a hero, just like him.

[Fighting noises]

[Criminals laugh]

[Criminals grunt]

That's five down.

[Alarm sounds]

[Alarm sounds] frida: two million to go.

Frida: two million to go.

[Cheering]

[Screaming]

Don't worry, I'm sure my son

Is out there fighting the forces

Of evil.

[Laughing]

[Laughing] [screaming]

[Screaming]

[Laughing]

[Squeaking]

[Cash register dings]

We can't keep up with

All this.

We gotta free the heroes.

And that means we've gotta

Find sartana.

Ok, so we could wrack

Our brains trying to figure out

Her plan, or... We could check

"Villain's quarterly."

Here it is.

"Hot heists: the month's

Top targets."

Frida: "chavez diamond,

Weather control ray,

Rare sausage monkeys..."

Manny: "quetzalcoatl's stone:

An ancient meteor with awesome

Mystic power."

That's gotta be it.

To the natural history museum!

Avenida patagonia.

[Alarm bell rings]

Soon quetzalcoatl's stone

Will be mine!

Combined with my mystic guitar,

I will rule the world!

I will rule the world! [Laughs]

[Laughs]

At last, I will have the power

I need to...

[Gasps]

Manny: this what you

Looking for?

Impudent boy.

That stone is mine.

That stone is mine. Banditos, end them!

Banditos, end them!

Fine.

We'll do this old school.

[Roars]

[Screeches]

[Roars]

Get ready to become extinct

All over again.

[Roars]

Whoa.

Fossils are tough.

Dude, we gotta get

Out of here.

But my dad would stay.

My dad would fight.

Your dad would get slaughtered.

[Screams]

Yeah, I can't be a hero

Like him, I gotta be a hero

Likeme.

How 'bout you be a hero,

Like, now?

[Laughs]

You'll never catch me, sartana,

Never.

Never!

After them!

After them! [Manny and frida scream]

[Manny and frida scream]

Fool.

You've cornered yourself.

What's your trouble-making

Kid up to, pantera?

Making trouble, I bet.

You will eat those words

When my son saves us all.

And his true heroic nature

Is revealed.

I hope, I hope, I hope.

Sartana, I challenge you

To a game.

If you win, I'll give you

The stone.

If I win, I get your guitar.

Oh, I love this game!

Set 'em up.

The stone, where will she

Land?

So is it somewhere there?

Is it somewhere where?

Ah-ha.

There.

Manny: oh, too bad.

Incredible.

Where could it have gone?

[Laughs]

Fool.

Did you really think I would

Give you my mystic guitar?

Listen well to the music of

Your doom.

[Duck quacks]

You gotta keep an eye on

Your stuff when there's no cops

Around.

Now!

["El tigre" theme plays...]

[Sartana screams]

[Cheering]

Manny, what you did

Was amazing!

Not the way I would have

Done it, but still amazing.

You have proven yourself

A true hero.

My hero.

That was great, kid.

We never doubted you for

A second.

Like I said, that hero-meter

Isneverright.

El tigre, could you show us

How this game works?

Why not?

The ball, where will

The ball, where will she land?

She land?

She land? ["El tigre" theme plays...]
