Announcer:miracle city, a spicy cesspool of crime and villainy.

This is the story of manny rivera, better known as...

Manny: el tigre!

Son of the legendary hero...

White pantera: white pantera!

Grandson of the evil super-villain...

Puma loco: puma loco!

["El tigre" theme plays]

Crowd: el tigre!

[Sirens wailing]

[Cheering] el tigre!

[Roars]

[Roars]

Crowd: el tigre!

[♪...]

Dude, why so mopey?

You're acting like they just outlawed churros.

[Gasps] they didn't, did they?

My dad is super mad at me.

I totally been messing up with him lately.

Do tell.

I said tell!

Ok, ok.

Like, yesterday, me and dad were doing a little crime-fighting.

[expl*si*n]

You do not have a chance.

Dr. Chipotle senior's son is sneaking up behind you.

That's where you're wrong.

Because my son has taken care of him.

Right, manny?

Manny?

[Video game music plays]

I'm on it, dad.

High score.

Ah, I see.

And later, me and dad caught el oso robbing a factory...

An underpants factory.

El oso, drop those drawers.

[Laughing]

What, what's so funny?

[Screams]

You try to keep a straight face in a roomful of pink thongs.

Dude, preaching to the choir.

[expl*si*n]

How am I gonna make it up to him?

[expl*si*n]

You could clean your room.

Sorry, talking crazy.

[expl*si*n]

Robbing a store here, doing evil.

All right, I see you already.

El tigre.

Thank you, el tigre.

[Muffled grunting]

There, now go away.

Aren't we going to fight, even a little?

I got new lasers- they're strawberry.

Go.

Fine.

Now I have one more reason to hate you.

And by "hate," she means "love..."

I know.

Man, I wouldn't go out with her unless...

Unless it was brilliant, yes.

If I date her, I can get information on the flock's crimes

And tip off my dad so he can stop them.

He'll be so happy, he'll forget all about being mad at me.

Dude, you would date someone just to get information?

Yeah, well... Yes.

I had no idea you could be so cold and heartless.

Teach me.

Just heading out to check with my new "anonymous source."

Who might have information that could help you prevent crimes.

Manny...

I can't even look at you right now.

Seriously, it pulls my hair.

[Laughs]

Sorry.

[Siren wailing...]

El tigre.

El tigre.

So... Now can we fight?

I have another idea.

You think you might want to be...

Crime partners?

[Chuckles]

[Giggles]

Me?

With you?

Wait.

How do I know I can trust you?

I'll prove it.

Why are we here?

For the view. [Chuckles]

[Both grunting]

Cool.

[Growls]

[Squeaks]

[Glass shattering]

[Screaming]

[Both laughing]

[Screaming]

I had a great time today, tigre.

Me too.

[Sighs] I got to go.

I have to cook dinner tonight

'Cause my mother's gonna be at the science tower

Stealing an experimental, weather-control chicken.

She is?

[Gasps] I have to go too.

Haircut-bathroom-dentist, bye.

Dad, my source says voltura is robbing the science tower.

And if you hurry, you can nab her.

This is excellent, manny.

Ooh, and I'll work undercover to protect your source.

Ok, be good.

[Squawks]

[Screams]

[Phone rings]

Ai!

[Grunts]

[Whistles]

Incredible.

This week, we foiled the flock's every crime.

Mijo, I know I've been upset with you lately.

But right now I couldn't be more proud.

Thanks, dad, if you're happy, I'm happy.

[Engine revs]

Oh, tigre...

Can you come to dinner at my house tonight?

We're having food.

My favorite, I'll be there.

Yes, the perfect opportunity to learn everything.

And eat food.

Make yourself at home, el tigre.

Yes, is so nice to have you here.

Wow, they totally hate you.

Don't eat anything.

So you come here to spy on us?

No, ma'am.

I'm just here to talk about evil.

So, uh...

Committing any good crimes soon?

$ Says he breaks your heart before dessert.

I would never do a thing like that.

Speaking of things, let's trade crime plans.

You're just jealous because a rivera actually likes me.

You are dating the enemy.

Use your head.

I know what I am doing.

Well...

Maybe you're just not cut out to be a super-villain.

What?

How can you say that?

Cuervo's a great super-villain.

She's greedy, she's evil, she's vile and black-hearted.

Thank you.

She's twice the villain you are.

[Gasps]

[Woman screeches]

He has seen our secret plans to rob municipal president rodriguez's solid-gold yacht

In the marina at midnight tonight.

I say too much?

El tigre: thanks for having me over.

You have a lovely hideout. [Laughs nervously]

Nobody has ever stood up for me like that.

You're not just my crime partner.

You're the best friend I've ever had.

Oh...

Yay.

She said I'm the best friend she's ever had.

Meanwhile, you're totally stabbing her in the back and stuff. [Laughs]

But...

Yeah?

That's nothing compared to how upset your dad's gonna be

When he finds out what you've done.

You're right, frida.

I've gotta tell 'em both the truth.

Luckily, they'll both be at the dock tonight.

I'll bring the first aid kit.

Frida: tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him...

Tell me what?

Black cuervo's my anonymous source.

I've been pretending to like her just to get information.

[Gasps]

You took advantage of a lady's feelings?

Unclean.

I know, but you were so mad at me.

I just wanted to make it up to you.

I understand,mijo.

But you could have done it in a way that was not

Pure, unspeakable evil.

[Sniffs] do you smell strawberry?

How could you?

I thought you like me, but you were justusing me.

[Grunting]

Cuervo, you're totally right, I'm sorry I treated you so lousy.

But I'm gonna make it up to you.

[Scoffs] how?

This fight.

I'm gonna let you win.

Let me win?

Ooh, bad call.

[Roars]

[Grunts and screams]

Ohh... That going to stunt his growth.

[Screams]

Good-bye, el tigre.

[The flock laughs maniacally]

Uh, hey, dad.

Manuel pablo gutiérrez... [Sputters]

Catch this solid-gold life preserver.

Ooh, bad call.

Dang.

[Engine revs]

You did very well back there, young lady.

Very well.

Sí, and you must be finished with your little crush now, heh?

Of course.

I am over el tigre.

Mostly.

[♪...]

[Growling]

[Screaming]

And this is how I fight zombies after losing a legand an arm.

Why you doing this?

I need a hobby for when the fights get too easy.

Frida has her arts and crafts.

It's a wind chime.

And I make up fight challenges.

Dang, still too easy.

Maybe if I close my eyes.

He mocks us with his half-body, no-lookie combat style.

You would not have such a big head

If we were fighting in the zombie district of calavera.

On our home turf, we are unbeatable.

Ah, zombie town is a dump.

And it's full of guys who stink like cheese.

Uh... Do you mean this as an insult?

We zombies take pride in our cheese-stink.

Well, you stink like bad cheese.

Cheese made from...

[Whispers indistinctly]

Goat vomit.

Oh, stop it, you're embarrassing me.

And, and...

You can't dance.

[Gasping]

You dare?

Zombies are excellent dancers.

You will pay for this most heinous of insults.

Huh, doubt it.

[Chomping noise]

[Screaming]

[Groaning]

That was easy...

Whoa, frida, we gotta book.

If we're late for school again, vice-principal chakal's gonna turn us over to the...

Frida?

What?

What are you staring at?

What, I got food stuck in my teeth?

No, uh, you, um, uh...

Got a head buddy.

It's on my brain!

Get it off, get it off, get it off!

Hey, it's just another zombie, I'll get it off, no problem.

[El tigre grunts]

Ow, ow, ow, stop it, stop it, stop it!

Ok, I'll fix it later, we gotta get to school now.

Yeah, good thing this isn't noticeable, huh?

I got it covered.

Uh, miss suárez.

[With affected accent] I and I here for the learning, man.

Oh, well, [laughs], super.

We be jamming on the fractions then, man.

Whew, good cover, frida.

Frida?

I used a mango shampoo today.

It's like I'm asking for it.

So I tried to eat one brain.

I'm sure it'll never happen a...

Brains...

What, I'm fine.

Nothing to... Brains...

...about.

I will get that thing off.

This I swear.

[Grunts] trial and error, frida.

We just gotta keep trying and error-ing. [Grunts]

Frida no like-y pain...

[School bell rings]

Ooh, lunch time.

[Screams]

Chili con carne, please.

Burrito, please.

Brains...

Refried brains.

You are in for a treat, young lady.

[Eats noisily]

Ew.

What?

Brains...

That's it, go on, get that brain, frida.

Get that brain.

Why must you persecute me?

[Screams]

Vasco da gama, sailor, explorer...

Brains...

Therefore opening up the spice trade to...

Eat more brains...

In conclusion...

Brains good...

Thank you.

Yes, great job, frida.

That sure was a lot of valuable information on, um, "brains."

[Laughs nervously]

Uh, frida, I think you should see the school nurse.

Right, I'll take her.

I'll yank that puppy off you with a little...

Tigre power.

Zombie not bad, manny...

Frida like zombie...

You may feel a pinch.

Manny, you got extra socks I can steal from the- [screams].

Frida, head, zombie, rope, stop!

Manny, you cannot pull a zombie off.

If he don't want to go, he take half-chewed head with him.

Aw, man, what am I gonna do?

She's getting worse.

Frida not worse...

Uh, you please move brain closer?

Is only one way to remove brain-zombie.

You must dip her in the waters that make zombies weak and powerless.

The fountain ofagua negra.

Conveniently located in the heart of zombie town.

[Gasps]

You be ok.

Just don't do something estúpido, like, [laughs]

Tell them they can't dance. [Laughs]

But who going to do that?

Nobody that crazy, huh?

[Laughing]

I glad I not you right now.

Isn't there some kind of anti-zombie ointment?

You got to hurry.

You don't dip her by sundown, she be zombieforever.

[Gasps]

I would go with you, but, uh...

I got to the chicken farm in san garrio before sun go down.

Why?

Eh, is long story.

[Clucks like a chicken]

No way am I going to zombie town.

No brains.

Right, let's go.

Brains... Quit it.

Brains... Seriously, cut it out.

Frida: brains.

[El tigre gasps] the fountain ofagua negra.

So...

Zombies cannot dance, eh?

Zombie: this is an outrage.

[Indistinct muttering]

Now, el tigre.

We will show you the error of your ways.

[♪...]

[Music ends]

Whoo-hoo.

Man, I was totally wrong about you guys.

That was awesome.

Well, I'll just be strolling over to that fountain now.

Ah, but we still have one more dance to do.

On your grave.

[Growling]

[El tigre screams]

[Grunts]

Oh, frida, oh, no...

Is good, manny.

Being zombie very, very good.

Frida, I'm so sorry.

This never would've happened if I hadn't gotten such a big head.

Yes, big, juicy head.

It's true, it's a juicy head, check it out.

Just look at this gigantic noggin.

And it's been marinating in hair gel since I was .

[Sniffing quickly]

[Burps]

It's a trick.

But who can resist a delectable hair gel?

[Chomping noise]

[Groans]

Manny.

Brains...

[Cheering and laughing]

[♪...]

[Needle scratches off record]

Destroy her...

[Zombies groaning]

Brain...

[Gasps]

So...

Is there more than one fountain in this town, or...

[El tigre roars]

["El tigre" theme plays...]

Zombies.

I hope you like your water black.

[Screaming]

Why did we put our one weakness in the middle of town?

Manny, you're ok.

Thanks to you, but I've learned a valuable lesson.

Never again will I let my ego get out of hand.

Now that I have crushed my zombie foes

Like the unbearably handsome, super-macho champion that I am.

And I learned just how important my brain is.

From now on, I'm treating this bad boy right.

Are you guys gonna hog the machine all night?

Games... Games...

[Clucks and squawks]

[Howls]

[Farting noise]

["El tigre" theme plays...]

[Children cheering]

Frida: please move brain closer.
