Ancestors.

Rodolfo: ooh, everything

Must be perfect.

Sometimes I no believe

We related.

[Door opens]

Dude, you rule the arcade.

You're like a genius-

Except for your brain.

I owe it all to thumb

I owe it all to thumb push-ups.

Push-ups.

Manny, I thought you were

In your room sick.

What's going on here?

Manny: it's not what it

Looks like.

It look like you forget you

Sneaked out so you no bother

To sneaky back in.

Oh, then it is what it

Looks like.

Manny, today of all days.

Frida: [scoffing snort] you

You guys still celebrate

Dia de los muertos?

Hey wait, you said that...

The day of the dead

Is the "bestest", coolest,

"Awesomest" holiday ever.

It's exciting, no?

I make all the favorite foods

And drinks to welcome the

Departed relatives.

My granpapi, the mighty cheetar,

He liked his steak rare.

[Bull snorts]

I'm sure manny told you how

Proud he is to honor our

Ancestors.

For when they are no longer

Remembered, only then are they

Truly gone.

[Crash]

The steak, ahh...

Is too rare.

I got to take him for a run

Until he sleepy.

Aiyee, I must patch,

Aiyee, I must patch, sand and repaint.

Sand and repaint.

The day of the dead was

Cool when I was little,

But now it's just goofy.

I don't wanna hurt their

Feelings but...

Spirits?

Land of the dead?

Give me a break.

[Stomach growls]

What is it about skipping dinner

That always makes me hungry?

You got me.

Good thing there's tons of

Delicious food right here.

Frida, we can't eat my dad's

Sacred offerings that...

Sartana: my banditos, tonight

I bring forth the unremembered

Spirits from every graveyard

On earth.

For at last I have found...

The seventh string.

[Cackling]

[Thunderclap]

With the power of this mystic

String on this special night,

I can command those spirits.

Together, we will punish those

Who have forgotten them: every

Manuel pablo gutierrez

O'brien equihua rivera...

I am very disappointed in you.

How could you eat all

The food?

We didn't.

You disrespect the spirits.

Oh, they gonna be so mad.

I can explain.

No, frida, no more lies.

Relax.

I'm just gonna tell them that

You think all this day of the

Dead stuff is bogus.

What's the big...

[Sobbing]

...they should hear it from you.

Make it your own, buddy.

I'm sorry, but... [Sighs]

Come on, we all know

There's no land of the dead.

It's a made-up place,

Like atlantis or france.

Dead people are just plain gone.

Arms, skeleton chests...

And then you'll be dead like us.

Once a year...

At least as long as they

Remember you.

Ooh, it's my time.

Be back soon.

Wait.

Wait. Take us with you.

Take us with you.

White pantera: manny.

Hey, can you play your ribs

Like a xylophone?

[Xylophone plays]

El tigre: frida.

Superpowered riveras down here.

To reach the living world

If we can get him to use it:

El tigre.

[Gasp]

Wait, who the whats?

The original el tigre,

The first rivera hero or

Villain.

Ravaged his mind.

Fool.

Insolence.

Same old riveras [cackles].

Now, my beast,

To the volcano.

Frida: walk it off,

You're ok- rub some dirt on it.

I had forgotten how painful

Being alive can be.

This'd not have happened

If ye'd but followed us.

[All bickering at once]

El tigre: enough.

I learned today that I have to

Show more respect to my family.

Now you need to learn it.

All you do is fight each other.

Is that respect?

Heroes, villains...

It doesn't matter.

We're a family,

We're a family, and families stick together.

And families stick together.

And families stick together. Look.

Look.

Look. [Roars]

We've got one chance.

We must use our ultimate

The rivera super macho blitz.

[Huge gasp]

But, manny, no one has ever

Survived the blitz.

I know I didn't.

I gotta take a chance.

If I don't, sartana will

Destroy miracle city.

The rivera bloodline will end.

The rivera bloodline will end. Rivera men... Assemble.

Manny, my son.

I...

We are so proud of you.

Thanks.

You did good, matey.

And I don't mean that

In a bad way.

Argh.

I was wrong, young tigre.

Thou art worthy of the rivera

Name.

Yea, perhaps more so than any

Of us.

But if ever thou dost eat our

Offerings again,

Offerings again, thy butt is toast.

Thy butt is toast.

Lo, the sun rises.

Now must we return to the land

Now must we return to the land of the dead.

Of the dead.

No, there's so much more

I can learn from all of you.

We leave you in good hands.

But I've got so many

Questions.

Will I ever choose between good

And evil?

Am I gonna go wacko?

Will I get taller eventually?

You must find out for

Yourself, manny, but I will

Always be with you in here...

And in here.

And in here. Farewell, el tigre.

Farewell, el tigre.

Ok, be good.

Ok, be good. Or not.

Or not.

They'll live forever now

Because we'll never forget them.
