El Americano: The Movie (2016)

[bunniefuu]

[male voice] Cuco. Cuco?

[grunting]

[laughing]

Hola, Paquito, looking for me?

Cuco, you should
be at the circus.

Cuco, you should
be at the circus.

Don't you ever just want
to have fun, Paquito?

- Um...
- Sure you do. Watch this.

[bell ringing]

- Oh, no, I'm late again.
- Oh, man, gotta hurry,
or I'll miss it.

Last one home is a rotten egg.

["Volare" by La Arrolladora
Banda Limon]

[grunting]

[bell ringing]

[cars honking]

Uh-oh. I hope I'm not
going to be late.

I hope I'm not late.

You mean late for work, right?

Nah, not that.

Your dad needs you.
You have to be responsible.

Okay, Paquito, I'm going
to say this only once,

- so you have to listen
very carefully, all right?
- [grunting]

I know that I'm meant
to do something else.

All my life I've heard
something inside me

calling for me to go out
there and live an adventure

like on TV.

[roaring]

You know exactly
what I mean, right?

[grunting]
You're late for your job.

I know I'm late to do my job,
but I made it on time

to watch El Americano,
the TV series!

But, the diva's
need their pink hats,

- and Divino needs--
- Hold that thought.

- See ya.
- [sighing]

[yelling]

- Hola, Cuco.
- Oh, hi, Mom.

Shouldn't you be at the circus?

They don't really need me.
They can get their own props.

Well, your father needs you.

Soon, you'll be ready
to be part of the show,

and I know you'll do great.

But, Mom, I don't
want to do old stuff.

I want to do
something different.

Oh, your time will come.
Don't worry, mijito,

you don't know how lucky you are
for being part of
the Generation Circus.

It's a dream,
and you get to live it.

Please, don't disappoint
your father.

Andale, let's go.

In a minute, I...

I just need to...
change my underwear.
Yeah, that's it.

- Ay, ay, ay. Vamos, vamos...
- I'm right behind you.

[speaking Spanish]

[cheering]

- [TV Announcer] El Americano,
the TV show.
- Go, go go!

In a cold moonlit night,
El Americano is looking
for Centaur, his arch...

...wearing his super cape.

[Cuco] Cape.

[theme song plays]

- [TV Announcer] Centaur!
- Oh, yeah!

Holy guacamole.

Look out, he's right behind you.

- Cuco!
- Dad, I was just going to--

How many times do
I have to tell you,

this cape is not a play thing.

It's a symbol for all
of us at the circus.

It's an honor to wear it.

Instead of trying to
understand, prepare yourself

to follow our rules
and traditions.

You're late, and you waste
your time watching this.
[grunting]

Dad, traditions need to change.

The circus needs to be more
spectacular, like El Americano.

What a waste.

But Dad, our circus
is so boring.

Everyone's seen
the same already.

If I did some super flips,
then you could--

Enough! You think circus stars
hatch overnight?

If you wanna be a star,
you first need to learn respect.

Until then, you'll
continue to assist everyone
with the props in the circus.

The divas need their
pink hats, come on, vamanos.

[TV Announcer] Oh, no, is
this the end of El Americano?

[brass band music]

[female voice
singing in Spanish]

Garza Garcia, come on,
we need to practice.

Uh... yes, Divino, yes.
Here it goes.

- Here it goes. Oh...
- Graza, you dork stork.

Sorry, mighty Divino.
Hey, I'm a stork, not a dork.

Come on, chew.

[speaking Spanish]

Tacos, torta abra--

Cadabra.

I... I... I did it?

Where did he go?

Where did he go?

I'm up here, you cuckoo, Cuco.

Hey, you found
the divas pink hats.

Bravo, Bravo El
Gran Divino, Bravo.

Why, what have I done
to deserve this?

[laughing] You guys should put
this comedy in the act.

[brass band music continues]

I've heard this song 1,000 times
and still love it.

Man, this is older than
old school, ancient history.

Ah, my son, you're just
watching and hearing,

not looking and listening.

You must feel the excitement.

The circus, the props,
the show, the colors,

soon little birds
will be here laughing

and entire families cheering.

It is our life.

It is our... [speaking Spanish]

[brass band music]
[singing in Spanish]

[crowd cheering]

Buenas noches,
my fine feathered friends,
welcome to you all.

[applause]

Our next act is a
personal favorite of mine,

and I must say my wife, Laurie,
makes a most lovely assistant.

[cheering]

Put your wings together
for our very own mystic,
El Gran Divino.

[cheering]

Since the beginning of
time the mystic owls

have been the greatest
magicians of all,

making possible the impossible.

[crowd gasping]

Behold, behold.

[father] And tonight,
we will witness

something spectacular
and exciting

that will leave you with
your beaks wide open.

The spirit of chicken fajitas,
chupcabra, chimicanga, chalupa.

[grunts]

- I said--
- [booming expl*si*n]

[heavy rock music]

What's going on?

[tires screeching]

[laughing]

[gasps]

[chuckles]

[booming expl*si*n]

[cheering]

[laughing]

Those of you who don't know,

I am Martin the Kingfisher.

- Martin, where's Laurie?
- Gayo, my old friend.

[speaking Spanish]

I will take over your
petty little circus

- with my electrifying
Circo Extremo!
- [crowd gasping]

I am here to challenge
you for the cape.

You should give it to me now,

or shall I take
what is mine by force?

It'll take more
than flash and threads

to take over the
honorable tradition.

As bearer of the cape,
it is I who sets the time
for a new challenge.

- Fair enough.
- The full moon is coming.

I will meet you again.

Fate will determine who has
the right to wear the cape.

Never tempt fate, old friend.

As the full moon
shines for all to see,
the cape shall be mine.

[Laurie] Gayo! Gayo, Gayo!

- Laurie.
- What happened?

Trouble with a capital M.

Oh, Gayo, what are we to do?

If Martin wins
the cape challenge,

we are all certainly done for.

- No more circus for you.
- Or you.

Or for anybody.

Which might not be a bad thing.

Hold on friends, hold on.

As you may know,
Martin and I go back many years.

He holds a grudge
and wants the cape.

But with it, goes the
Generation Circus as we know it.

Our feud started
in this very tree,

a long, long time ago.

Generations of birds have
come to witness the passing

of the cape in a tradition
that continues to this day.

Don Quitzal was the first of
many Quitzals that followed.

But, their numbers dwindled.

Soon it came time to pass the
cape to a new family of birds.

Martin and I
were both considered

to be the new
bearer of the cape.

Martin had flash, no doubt.

He had the most outrageous
act anyone had ever seen.

My act was daring, yet simple.

But, that night
beneath the full moon,

the cape was passed to me.

Martin was crushed.
His loss unbearable.

Vowing revenge,
the Kingfisher flew away.

Martin was never seen again.

Until right now.

I don't get it,
if that guy was so hot,

why didn't he win the cape?

Don Quitzal awarded
tradition and respect.

And, the bird
with the biggest heart.

Okay, but what are
we going to do now?

Let's walk just you and me.

[Cuco] What is it, Dad?

Everyone starts
at the bottom, Cuco.

That's how we learn.

In time, I'm sure that you
will go to the very top.

I know, I know I have
to be patient, Dad.

The Generation Circus
is all about tradition,

and that's important, Cuco.

But, you know, sometimes
change can be good.

What do you mean?

I need you for something bigger,

something new for
the circus if we want

to win Martin's challenge.

Oh, yeah?

You've been talking
about a new act.

How 'bout you and I try some
of those El Americano moves?

- You really mean it?
- Of course.

Awesome, check out
this super flip.

- [grunting]
- Whoa!

[laughing]

Whoops!
I didn't mean to do that.

You teach me your
El Americano moves,

I'll teach you some neat
old school juggling.

Deal! Oh, Dad, we're gonna have
the best new act ever!

[no audible dialogue]

Oh, yeah.

Wow, the Tower of Challenges
looks amazing.

Awesome, this is impressive!
Challenging for sure.

- You ready, mijo?
- I was born ready.

[drum roll]

Good evening and welcome to
the new Generation Circus.

Behind this curtain,
a story unfolds.

[brass band music]

The famous street artist
on his biggest performance yet.

When over the city tonight,
he will juggle not three

but five golden eggs at once.

Look at him, so in control.

Oh, no,
the evil thieves are here
to steal the golden eggs.

They try to take the
street performer down
with giant fireballs.

Fire?

[Cuco] There, our main bad guys.

- [screams]
- Disaster strikes,
a lady in trouble.

Luckily for her,
the street performer
can carry her to safety.

[speaking Spanish]

But, wait, what is this?
There's also a baby in danger!

The brave citizen
must carry him, too.

More g*ns, more fireballs,
more danger.

[baby crying]

And, the baby's grandma
is in trouble, too!

[speaking Spanish]

Fireballs are menacing
the abuelita.

But our fearless citizen
is an open target.

But wait, could this be,
it is, El Americano!

[grunting]

Oh, no, the lava ball cannon.

Whoa! What is that?

[Cuco] This is your finish act,
bad guys.

[grunts]

[cheering]

So, time to tell
the boss what's up.

[speaking Spanish]

Shh...
[speaking Spanish]

Martin, Martin.

[speaking Spanish]

[yells]
Stop talking so fast.

I can't understand
a word you said.

The birds at the circus
are preparing a new, big act.

[speaking Spanish]

Toys are popping everywhere.

It's big. It's new. It's fresh.

[grunting]

It's never going to be seen.

What do you mean?

Oh, nothing, Rayito.

I have to take care
of something,

so Gayo can suffer
like I suffered,
a little humiliation.

Time for plan X:
Stage one, sabotage.

[speaking Spanish]
[laughing]

What is this plan X?
Why didn't anyone tell me?

Oh, it's just me getting
my cape back, that's all.

Nothing to worry your
pretty, little head about.

My pretty little head can
take it, thank you very much.

[gasping]

If this has anything to do with
anybody getting hurt, I'm out!

Ay, my lost child, do not fear.

This is simply about getting
back what is rightfully mine,
remember?

Dovo, Vovo?

- Yes, boss.
- Yes, boss.

Commence plan X.

[laughing]

- Sabotage.
- Sabotage.

[Cuco]
Come on, Dad, one more pass.

Ready!

Okay.

Good evening and welcome
to the new Generation Circus.

Behind this curtain,
a story unfolds.

[Paquito] Oh, no!

- Huh?
- [Paquito] Watch out, Cuco!

- Cuco!
- Cuco, no.

[gasps]

No!

Gayo, Cuco!

[coughing]

[gasps]

- Papa!
- Gayo!

[grunting]

My good leg.

Papa!

Oh, Gayo.

[grunting]

We must take him
home right away.

Carefully, please carefully.

[speaking Spanish]

[Cuco] Dad, I'm so sorry.

Look, Vovo, the cape.

[speaking Spanish]

Martin's gonna be so happy.
He might even be nice to us now.

[speaking Spanish]

I want a ranch with horses,
and cows, and chivos
and a live chicken.

Oh, yes, a lot of chicken.

[clattering]

Quick, Vovo, hide!

[speaking Spanish]

[speaking Spanish]

[sighs]

[coughing]

It was just a little yellow
canary, and he took the cape.

What are we gonna
tell Martin now?

[speaking Spanish]

No, no way.
This is all your fault.

[speaking Spanish]

- [groaning]
- He's waking up.
He's waking up!

[grunting]

- Where's Cuco?
- I'm okay.

You saved me.

Little one...

The cape, where's the cape?

Don't worry, I got it.

It's safe.

Poor Gayo, his legs
must be k*lling him.

I wonder why on
earth did he let anyone

change his routine
in the first place.

All this trouble because
of that El Americano hoopla.

[laughing]

Please stop, you c*ck.

[sad tuba music]

The divas are right,
it's all my fault.

Don't listen to them, Cuco.

Yeah, the divas will always
complain about something.

But now, my dad
won't be able to stand
to Martin's challenge.

- We really need help now.
- Yes, Paquito, but who?

Who can help us? Who?
I can't think of anybody.

Garza Garcia, you're a genius.

- I am?
- We've gotta find our
superhero, El Americano,

and bring him back to help.

But... but who?
What? Where?

There, Hollywood!

I haven't a clue. What in the
world are you talking about?

Who would know how to get to...

Garcia, get Divino, pronto!

Divino, let me see.

Tacos, tortas, tamales,
chimichanga, cheese.

♪ I must take her
back to the circus ♪

What? What's going on?
Wait...

Sorry to disturb you,
oh, great one.

But you are the one
that knows everything.

Well, yes, I don't like to brag,

but I'll force myself
to say, "Yes, I do."

Please tell us,
how do you get to Hollywood?

Hollywood?
Are you serious, Hollywood?

Why would you want to go
to Hollywood, my dear boy?

El Americano lives in Hollywood.

We need help to save the circus
from Martin and his g*ng
of bad birds.

Whenever you're in trouble,
who will help you on the double?

El Americano...
[speaking Spanish]

[chuckles]
That's very nice of you, Cuco.

But, let me just say
it's very, very nice.

- It's moving, it's touching--
- Every bird in and out

of the circus will be in danger
if Martin takes over.

We gotta do something,
and we don't have much time.

Yes, I'm afraid that's
an unfortunate truth.

But listen, Cucito,
I must warn you,

according to the sacred
scrolls, written a long time ago
before you were an egg,

Hollywood is a place
where dreams do come true,

but not always as expected,
with a little change.

But, more often than not,
that results

of heartache and suffering.

- Cool, how do I get there?
- Is it far?

Let us see now.

Chin Chupacabra.

[laughing]

Chin Chalupa.
Cheech and Chong.

I feel it coming,
and there it is.

I still got it, baby.

The secret scrolls, it'll
show you the way to Hollywood.

If anyone asks you
where you got 'em from,

you did not get 'em from me.

Thanks, Divino, I will
take good care of it.

[speaking Spanish]

Are you sure you
want to come along?

Hey, it was my
great idea, remember?

[chuckles]
You're right about that.

Vamanos!

Be careful, thoughtful...
and hurry.

[speaking Spanish]

Wait for me!

[screams]

Fly like the wind.
Fly, fly, boy!

And, hey, bring me
something, anything.

No t-shirts, no t-shirts.
I'll get you for that.

[speaking Spanish]

Did the sabotage go
according to my plan?

Like a charm, boss.

And Gayo won't be flying
or walking anytime soon.

[speaking Spanish]

Hey! The boss doesn't
need to know all that.

[speaking Spanish]

The important thing is that
Gayo's legs are broken.

You promised no
one would get hurt.

My dear, Rayito, those birds
are the real villains here.

They stole the cape
from me, remember?

And, you got my
cape back, right?

Well, you see we almost had it.

But Vovo right here,
he started talking about
pueblos, and I don't know what.

[speaking Spanish]

You want a ranch.

Enough!
There's no time to lose.

Time to get that cape back.

[speaking Spanish]

Rest, sweet Gayo, rest.

[knocking]

[speaking Spanish]

I hear my old friend,
Gayo, had a bad break.

Martin, you fiend.
[grunting]

- No, Gayo, don't.
- This is an outrage.

You have no right
for this intrusion.

You have not won
the right to be here.

[speaking Spanish]

I have no need for petty rules.

It is plain to see
that poor Gayo cannot defend

the cape from his bed.

Ay, poor, poor, Gayo.

[laughing]

And now the cape, where is it?

Well, don't just stand there.

[speaking Spanish]

Find it!

[speaking Spanish]

What?

Well, we saw the yellow
canary take it, boss.

The one that's always with
the little green parrot.

Fine, where are they then?

Where? Where is your scheming
son and that thieving canary?

Cuco, where's Cuco?

Rayito, ransack this dump
and flush out that... Cuco boy.

[sighs]

[speaking Spanish]

So, the old owl
knows something after all.

Me? I know...

[speaking Spanish]

Ash, squeeze the truth out
of this petty magician.

[grunting]

Where... are... they?

- I'll never tell you.
- Stop it! Don't hurt him!

[gasps]
He's going to pop.

Martin, this is enough.

Ash, get him again.

I can't! I can't! I can't!

I know the parrot's plan.

- Divino, is Cuco alright?
- Tell me what did you find?

They went to Hollywood
to look for El Americano.

They went for a coffee?

No, you fool, he's a
famous super hero from TV.

"Mom, Dad,
I'm going to get help.
Don't you worry."

Oh, Cuco.

Rayito, we need to
find a plan to stop

that blasted circus parrot
before he finds this superhero.

[speaking Spanish]

El Americano!

He is El Americano,
the most powerful superhero
there has ever been.

Ha! Cuco's gonna bring him back
and kick your tail feathers.

Shut up!
I want my cape right now!

[panting]

Honestly, Garcia,
a fear of heights?

[Paquito] We need to speed up!

We might as well walk.

- What a great idea.
- I was joking.

How about this? We can just
fly across this canyon,

and then we can walk, okay?

Okay, but I'm doing
this under protest.

[yelling]

[grunting]

Keep up, Garcia.
We can't fly for you, you know?

[grunting]
Slow down.

I'm seriously about to lose it.

Okay, let's find
a place to rest.

- Yes, rest my nerves.
- Ay, yi, yi. You crybaby.

Hey, Paquito, down there.

Finally, firm ground.

Bouncy, bouncy, bouncy, bouncy.

- Seems a little cushy to me.
- Bouncy, bouncy,
bouncy, bouncy.

Bouncy, bouncy, bouncy, bouncy.

Huh, this scroll
is very puzzling.

Hey, guys, come here.

It says we need to keep
heading North until we find

the Eagle's Rock. "Where the
eagle looks you must go."

Then what?

Seems that then
we'll arrive at a place

with a tall, silver arch.

It says, "At the top look
for a big, blue stripe.

Follow it North, and you
can get to Hollywood."

Hollywood, yay!

That shouldn't be hard.

Good, I want to get back to the
safety of our whistles tree.

I hope Hollywood is nice,
at least.

- What do you think it's like?
- It must be a magical place.

A little birdie told me once,
that there, all dreams
come true.

After all, El Americano
became a hero there.

Okay, guys, let's rest.

Tomorrow's going to
be a pretty busy day.

- Goodnight.
- Night.

[yawns] Good...

[snoring]

[eagle calling]

[snoring]

What's that noise?

[air hissing]

What? What?

[speaking indistinct]

No way!

[both] Wow!

Paquito, where's Garcia?

- I don't know.
- Garcia!

Garcia!

[Paquito] Garcia!

[speaking Spanish]

I need to pee-pee.

[yelling]

He's up there! He's up there,
and he needs to pee-pee.

Quick, Paquito, let's go!

[shivering]

Wow, what a view.

I can't believe you two
are enjoying the view

when I'm about to die.

Well, if you want to get off
here, you have to fly.

[Paquito] Hey, those
rocks look like an eagle!

Wow, Paquito, you're right.

It's the first sign
from the scroll.

Find the Eagle Rocks
overlooking the yellow canyon.

- But... but...
- We're going the wrong way.

Garcia, we've got to fly now!

Listen, nothing is gonna budge
me from this spot right here!

[yelling]

- Fly, Garcia, fly!
- Flap your wings.

[yelling]

Garcia!

Garcia!

[gasps]
I'm alive.

I can't believe it.
Thank you. Thank you, Cuco.

[laughing]
I'm so alive.

That was amazing!
Incredible!

- Aw, come on.
- Paquito's right.

I'll bet El Americano
would be impressed.

- You really think so?
- Mm-hmm.

Let's keep moving,
clock is ticking.

[Martin] Listen up.
We don't have much time.

The full moon is upon us.

And without the cape, all our
hard work is for nothing.

Ash and I shall continue
with plan X here at my lair.

Dovo, Vovo, you two go north
and nab that pip squeak parrot

before he reaches El Espresso.

- El Americano.
- Latte, Mocha, it's whatever!

- And, what about me?
- Rayito, you're in charge.

Just find that little runt
and cut him off at the pass.

Do whatever it takes
to get my cape!

And once you have your cape,
you will let everyone go, right?

But of course, my dear.
[chuckles]

Now, be gone.

Palomas, you know what
to do if she goes soft.

[speaking Spanish]

Don't you worry about it, boss.

[grunting]

[speaking Spanish]

[grunting]

You lay back down right now.
You need time to heal.

[grunting]

How can I rest when my son
is out there, who knows where?

I just gave him an old
mystic scroll and showed
the kid the way.

Look, I hope you can forgive me.
It's all my fault.

You meant well, old friend.

Cuco is our best chance now.
He's our only hope.

[Paquito] And, we need to
get something for Divino.

What is this place?

Wow, wow, it looks like a
place for Lucha Libre!

[speaking Spanish]

[laughing] Let's take
a shortcut through here.

It will be faster than
going around and more fun!

[Paquito] It seems
like a bad idea.

Paquito, can you please get
him down? We gotta keep going.

Wow, I love Luchas.

When I was a storkling, my
nickname was El Liquebra Plumas!

[Cuco] Careful, Garcia.

[Paquito] Guys... Guys!

[speaking Spanish]

Coming directly from Tijuana,

we present you
the pride of Baja!

The most terrifying
luchador still alive!

Feast your eyes on
Pancho El Trueno Gonzales!

[laughing]

It's been a long time
since I was challenged.

I can see you are brave
or fool enough to do so.

Now, I will have to crush you
and break your under--

Perfect, we, I mean,
I should get going.

We need to find a city
with a tall, silver arch, and...

I've got my eyes on you.

I'm not easily fooled, and...
Oh, oh, the silver arch.

I know where the silver arch is,

and I would gladly share
that information with you.

- Oh, really, thanks.
- But first, you will have to

defeat me
in a Lucha Libre match.

[cheering]

[speaking Spanish]

[cheering]

The champ is in great shape,
ladies and gentlemen.

But...
but I don't want to fight.

What?

You come here to my place,
the legendary...

[speaking Spanish]

- ...and you don't
want to fight?
- What?

You have offended me,
and worst of all,

you have disrespected
my audience.

[speaking Spanish]

[crickets chirping]

As you can all see,
Trueno is in control

and looking great this evening.

Let's see if his new
opponent has what it takes.

You are insignificant,
and you will be crushed!

[grunting]
[teeth chattering]

But, now, you will
witness my famous,

[speaking Spanish]

[yelling]

[grunting]

Could it be,
such a tiny opponent so strong?

Our broken Luchador is giving
the champ a rough time.

Not on this lifetime, amigo.

I think Trueno
is going for the diving...
[speaking Spanish]

[grunting]

Ladies and gentlemen,
this is truly a sad,

historic moment.

The champ has lost,
and he must give up his mask.

I cannot bear to watch!

It is the greatest humiliation
for any member of the...

[speaking Spanish]

[crying]

My mask now belongs to you,

- my brave opponent.
- Wait.

- [crying]
- Excuse me, Mr. Gonzales.

I couldn't have defeated you
unless it was simply dumb luck.

And besides, I can't
take your mask.

- I'm not even a wrestler.
- Oh, I think you are right.

I'm the champ,
and you are not a luchador.

All this was a show
for my beloved fans.

[laughing]

I'm sorry to lie, but you know,
it is a very sensitive audience.

Right, but between you and me,
you should really check out
your eye doctor, champ.

Listen to the crowd, happy.

Oh, young fighter,
I can see your heart
is as big as your punch.

You are truly like a...
[speaking Spanish]

Now, can you tell us
where the silver arch is?

Yes of course, my friend,
you are very near.

You must head north.
I... I mean north.

I mean north.

That's right,
you will beam down to Tijuana,

and there you will see
the great silver arch.

Thanks, champ, I hope we
can fight again one day.

[speaking Spanish]

I will keep an eye on you,
fierce luchador.

[Cuco] Bye, Trueno.

Oh, I should wear my glasses
more often, that's why
I was defeated.

There were three of them.

And, that's it for today,
Lucha Libre fans!

Those three birds should
be around here by now,

and there's an old mine here.

This is the spot where
we'll stop them and take...

[speaking Spanish]

Yes, we have everything ready,
and we've even
brought disguises.

[laughing]

- Question, why wear disguises?
- They make us look good.

[speaking Spanish]

Well, at least the disguises
will fool the parrot
and distract him.

[speaking Spanish]

Whatever, just make sure
that nobody gets hurt.

We're only after the cape.

[speaking Spanish]

No, no, no cake, cape.

[speaking Spanish]

The cape!

I need water.
I need a cold dip in the ocean.

I need a raspado.
I need some ice cubes. I need...

- A cave.
- A cave?

We can rest in the cool shade
there for a little while,

but we can't stay long.

Hey, be careful, guys!

Finally, a little shade.

[cheering]

Take a look at this place.
It's so dark and so mysterious.

♪ Three, one for you ♪

[Spanish club music]

[yelling]

That was easy.

So, you two are brave fellas.

But, I really need to end this.

I need that cape.

- [yelling]
- Why are you making it so hard?

[Spanish club music]

[yelling]

[yelling]

I... just... want the cape.

[yelling]

- Paquito?
- Paquito?

No. No, no, no.

[grunting]

[yelling]

[Paquito] Can we do it again?

It's a cave in, let's go!

[yelling]

[yelling]

What in the world?

Wait, Cuco, it's too dangerous.

[yelling]

[Paquito] Cuco!

Where are you?

[Rayito] Here, down here!

I need your help.

Hey, wait!

[grunting]

[yelling]

Yes!

[cheering]

Is everybody okay?

[speaking Spanish]

[Rayito]
Hey, you two, you wouldn't...

Leave her, she's with them now.

Hey, I know you. You're that
girl that's with the bad guys.

It your name Rayito?

I'm dangerous.

Hey, wait, wait!
Come back!

She's no good.
Come on, Cuco, we must move on.

Rayito the hummingbird.

That girl, bad news.

I don't think so, Paquito.
She's not like Martin.

She tried to steal
your dad's cape.

Really?
All this because of the cape?

It must really mean
something then, huh?

[groaning]

I just want to go
back to our circus.

Hey, now, that looks like a
smart and sophisticated fellow.

Let me go ask him
for directions.

No, wait, he's just a donkey.

[braying]

[burping]

Come on, Paquito,
let's take a look from up there.

[braying]

[sighs] Let's see...

We need to find the arch.
Trueno said it was near here.

[speaking Spanish]

Hey, guess what, the zebra
speaks perfect donkey.

He just told me
where the arch is!

Wow, Garcia, that's great!
Where?

[speaking Spanish]

[Garcia] There.

[speaking Spanish]

Come on, Garcia,
let's fly to the top.

You go, I'll just stay
here with my new friend

for a little while.

[braying]

Let's go, Paquito.
To the top of the world!

[gasping]

Wow, it's amazing!

Hey, Paquito, look that's
the big, blue stripe.

We are getting closer.

[male voice]
Whoa, it's a rocket!

Who will help you on the double?

[speaking Spanish]

Whoa, bravo,
that's a super EA move, bro.

Thanks.
So, you're a fan too?

[chuckles]
Saw him at Comic Con once.

El Americano...
[mimicking trumpet music]

- [speaking Spanish]
- Cool, my name's Cuco.

We're going to meet with
him and ask for his help.

Surf rat Karl, at your service.
Whatever you need, bra.

I'm afraid we need
a real super hero, amigo.

I might just be a
plain and lowly surf rat,

but I do know someone
who knows EA, bra.

Good because this zebra
doesn't know anything else

except for where the arch is.

- Garcia, this is Karl.
- Hey, what's up, Garcia?

- What's up, bro?
- How's it going, dude?

So, you have a friend
who know El Americano?

- Wow, can you take us to them?
- Her, bra, of course.

Her name is Lucille. She was one of the biggest bird stars back in the day.

Well, then,
what are we waiting for?

- Go, go!
- Hold on, homies.

First, we gots to cross over
to the other side.

- Oh, no, I'm too young to die.
- Dude, we gotta cross the line.

I'm talking about
crossing the border.

Can you show us? We've never
crossed the border before.

[laughing] You birds are a long
way from Kansas, ain't ya?

No problem, bros, I'm happy
to help out some surfing birds.

Un-freaking-believable, man!
[laughing]

I'm stoked.

[laughing] Whoa, you're
a natural, bro. I like you.

Surfs up,
my fair feathered friends.

Hitch a ride to the border.

[cheering]

What do you think, guys?

It might be safer to fly.

I'll have to take you
surfing for real sometime.

You'll love the big blue stripe.

Wow, at this speed, we'll get to
the other side in no time.

[tires screeching]

[horns honking]

[Paquito] Oh, no!

[Cuco] Wha... What's happening?

Oh, it's nothing.
Happens all the time.

Oh, no, this line's
gonna take forever.

[laughing]
That line's for humans.

There it is,
the animal border crossing.

- Surfs up.
- Giddy up!

[laughing]

Poor humans,
they must be roasting.

This place is unbelievable!

Got some pretty cool stuff, huh?

I'm so getting this for Divino.
What do you think?

- Almost there, amigos.
- Goodness, I'm starving.

Starving!
[speaking Spanish]

I've got it all.

[speaking Spanish]

Yahoo!

Oh, my. Oh, my, what to choose?

What exactly
are you looking for?

We're here to find El Americano.

I am Americano.

- Really?
- Well, well, well...

I am Mexicano, but because
I am from America,
I am Americano, no?

Yeah, I guess you're right,
but we meant the hero from TV.

Oh, that El Americano.
So, you are going to Hollywood.

I'm very popular,
also, in the U.S.

You know, for us Mexicanos,
anything's possible.

[laughing]

I really hope so.

Is it possible
for some Mexicanos

- to eat something delicious?
- Of course, my horse.

[speaking Spanish]

Hey, dudes, hurry, hurry,
we're next.

Hey, wait, no, no, no.

- [Cuco] By Americano.
- You will find El Americano...
[speaking Spanish]

Good luck.

[cheering]

[drum music]

Welcome citizens of Mexico.

[sighing]

What's your business in the U.S?

Are you bringing in
anything unusual from Mexico?

I sincerely hope you
have your I-94 form

correctly filled out,
signed and ready.

These procedures
require precision

and must be done
in a certain way.

But, you already
know that, don't you?

Come on, dude,
do they really need it?

Hey, I ask the
questions around here?

- Hey, how 'bout a statement?
- Okay, sh**t.

Today's your lucky day,
Officer Wingstall.

You can be part of making
a heroic dream come true.

Hmm. I like that, go on.

What we have here
is an emergency.

We're here to ask help
from El Americano.

El Americano, wow.
He is the greatest, isn't he?

He's actually Mexican, you know?

No kidding. Talk about
a success story. Who knew?

Wonderful, but we still
need your documentation.

Oh, man, why does this
have to be so difficult?

What do my bros need to
cross the animal border?

First, we do a security check?

Are you, or have you ever been,
a cannibal species,

transporting ill*gal hey?

Are you a worm dealer?
Predatory bird?

Oh, no, I'm just Cuco.
That's all.

What do you mean, just Cuco?
You are the Cuco!

You are even more amazing
than El Americano,

as far as I'm concerned.

You should have seen him
with the giant balloons.

He saved me!

And, then he faced off
with this massive Luchador.

He has incredible skills.

Okay, Mr. Skills,
show me a nice trick.

Show him the super flip.

[cheering]

Pretty good, not bad. And,
what about the little pinata?

- What's inside?
- Who are you calling pinata?

I'm not a pinata! I'm a canary,
and my name is Francisco.

I've never been so
insulted in my life!

Okay, okay, the talking pinata
goes in the x-ray machine
right now.

Please, step lively.

[Karl] No problemo.

[Paquito]
Um, is this radioactive?

Sombrero, please.

Map, check.

Cape, check. Tuba, check.

Radio, TV alarm clock, check.

Burrito with salsa. Oh, no,
that will have to stay with me.

Thank you, have a nice day.
Come on, next!

Whoa, I had no idea it
would be that easy.

You do know that they're birds.

They could just fly over
and not come through here.

That's honesty, mister. And,
we appreciate that around here.

Welcome to the
United States of America.

- Gracias, I mean thank you.
- Yes.

Fly straight, fly right.

[Martin] Great job, Ash.
[chuckles]

Now, we're ready for the
expl*sive finale of Gayo

and his pitiful, old show,
once and for all.

But, all of this is pointless
unless I have the cape.

The cape, give it to me,
give it to me!

[speaking Spanish]

Slow down, slow down!

Boss, boss,
let me explain it to you.

We caught Cuco and his friend
in this old, abandoned mine.

[speaking Spanish]

That's it!
I'm done with these two.

Ash, make some pigeon fricassee.

Well, we had the cape,
but we were betrayed by Rayito.

[speaking Spanish]

Wow, you finally agree with me!

Really, Rayito?

[speaking Spanish]

What is it with you two?
I thought we were a team.

- You, you betrayed me!
- But, but, but... But, I...

You want me to fail,
don't you, Rayito?

You know that if I don't have
that cape all my plans
will be for nothing.

What are you
talking about, Martin?

I don't have the stupid cape,

but I almost died
trying to get it for you.

Liar! I knew you would
betray me some day,

ever since I saw that
rage in your eyes

the night you lost your parents.

[whimpers]

- My parents?
- That's right,
I took care of them

for not obeying my orders.

And now, it seems
history repeats itself. Ash.

Rayito, she's escaped.

Get her and all of her
pathetic friends.

Do whatever it takes.
Make them pay,
take no prisoners.

And, bring me that cape!

[Karl] Yeah! Yeah!

[Cuco] I love the zoo!

[cheering]

[cheering]

My dude, whoa.
There's Lucille over there.

Hey, Lucille!

- Hey, beautiful.
- Karl, you old surf rat.

Give me a hug, you hippie.
Oh, my old friend!

Oh, excuse me a sec.

[speaking Spanish]
...chatty time?

- Get to work already!
- Isn't she the sweetest?

Lucille, meet my new
best buds from MXO,

Garza Garcia, Paquito,
and my homie, Cuco.

Welcome to the San Diego Zoo.

Seriously, boys,
mi casa es su casa.

How long can you stay?

Actually, we need to
get to Hollywood, pronto.

Well, soon, it will
be too dark to travel.

I could use a rest.

[laughing]

No, no rest for the wicked,
because tonight is party time.

- [laughing]
- [Pequito] Wow!

- [club music]
- Mm-mmm.

So, Karl tells me you were
a big star in Hollywood.

Yes, well, I had the
acting bug back in the day.

Oh, I was the toast of Hollywood
before becoming the queen

of the roost here at the zoo.

Did you ever meet El Americano?

[laughing]

Oh, yes, I used to
know him well.

In fact, his real name
is Eddie Navarro.

Wow, that's amazing. I bet he's
super incredible in person.

Incredible? Let's just say
El Americano might not be

- what you imagine him to be.
- I'm sure he's even better!

Cuco, dear, it's time for
the skate competition.

Sure, go show these whirly
birds how it's done, dear.

Okay.

Go, Cuco!

[snoring]

[rooster crowing]

Glad you're up.

But, let's go, you'll need an
early start to catch your train.

Karl, are you coming with us?

You know you're
more than welcome.

I'd love to, but I've got some
major surfing to do here in SD.

[laughing]
Gotta work off my party belly.

Plus, the swells today
are supposed to be... swimming

- Thank you, bra.
- You're gonna need some grub.

This should stick to your ribs.

[laughing] Don't worry, darling,
I packed it myself.

[speaking Spanish]

Thank you for making
my party so special.

Cuco, I want you to have this.

You mean you and El...
I mean Eddie Navarro were...?

Yes, well, of course,
he wanted to marry me,

but we weren't right
for each other then.

Once in a while, sure.

He's just below
the Hollywood sign.

That's right.

[speaking Spanish]

Come on, guys.

Goodbye, dear friends
from Mexico.

[speaking Spanish]

[Garcia] Do we have to
fly all the way there?

Farewell San Diego,
hello Hollywood.

- Uh-oh.
- What is it, Paquito?

Look.

No, it's that horrible
hummingbird again.

Rayito, what are you doing here?

Don't listen to her.
It's a trick.

Look, I don't expect
you to believe me.

Just hear me out, okay?

Yes, I worked for Martin.
I didn't want to, but I had to.

He raised me.
He adopted me.

But, I've since learned
that he was the one

who separated me
from my parents.

I didn't come here to
tell you my sob story.

I came to thank you for saving
my life back at the old mine.

- I owe you now.
- You don't owe me anything,

but you did try
to steal my dad's cape.

I'm sorry.

I guess I can't blame you
for not trusting me.

But, I'll tell you everything,

so you know that
I'm truly on your side.

- Like what?
- Well, you should know

that Martin had the
Paloma brothers sabotage
the structure you built.

And now, he's holding your
circus family prisoner.

- Oh, no, we have to go back.
- I feel for you, I really do.

- But, you can't go back now.
- Why?

Martin is crazy,
who knows what he'll do.

Well, I do. We must hurry
and get to El Americano.

- Martin seems afraid of him.
- Can we trust her?

It's okay. She's one of
us now, right, Rayito?

- Right.
- Go ahead, Paquito,
show her the map.

Okay, it looks easy enough
to find, and what's that?

- Who's Lucille?
- Long story.

[Rayito] It's Ash!

[roars]

Eat this, mosquito brain.

[gasping]

[grunting]

[clanging]

[Rayito] That surly left him
seeing little birdies.

[gasping]

[yelling]

- [Garcia] We're okay.
- Yes, we are.

[grunting]

[Garcia] No!

[gasping]

[grunting]

Cuco, go and we'll distract him.

You... must... leave.

Go, find the Americano!

Oh, my, I'm finally here!

Excuse me, Americano?

[Eddie] Who dares to enter
Eddie Navarro's fortress?

I'm a friend of Lucille,
sir, and a fan.

[Eddie] A fan, really?

Coming right down.

[disco music]

Hello, my boy,

I am Eduardo Diverio Navarro
del Tabilano.

But, you can call
me Eddie Navarro.
[chuckles]

You're El Americano?

Well, there is no real
El Americano, my boy.

But, I was the star of that
old show way back when.

I have so many successful
roles, and El Americano

was just one of the little ones.

But enough about me,
you are here for my autograph,
aren't you?

What's your name, my boy?

But, what about all the
bad guys you defeated?

That's movie magic, my boy.
[laughing]

Amazing, huh?

What about the super flip
and all your amazing moves?

The super flip?

[speaking Spanish]

Oh, yeah, I remember that one.

My stunt double
came up with that one.

You are El Americano?

I did some stunts
myself here and there,

but all the handsome
close ups, all me.

[Garcia] Ash is coming!
Ash is coming!

Good, good!
Is Ash another fan?

[cawing]

[cheering]

[gasping]

[grunting]

No, no, no, not my photos!

No, no, no.

No, no, no.

No, not my Picasso!

[speaking Spanish]

Who's all tangled up now, man?

No, no.

[crying]

Not my best actor award.

I wish El Americano
could be here.

Shoo, monster, shoo.
Go away,
you barbarian Frankenstein.

No, no!
[crying]

Now, you'll get it,
you oversized chicken, you.

No, no.
[yells]

- Are you okay?
- [yells]

Huh?

[Eddie] Come on, Cuco, come on.
Kick some Ash!

[cheering]

[grunting]

- You made it.
- Rayito?

- [gasps] Paquito?
- Oh, no, Paquito.

[speaking Spanish]

[cheering]

Thank you for
saving my life again.

Well, I'm glad
everyone's fine and all.

But, still,
there's no hero to help us.

- I failed.
- Excuse me, what?

You just crossed the
continent to help your family.

And just beat a giant vulture,
saved everyone.

This isn't TV, and still,
you proved you are
the real hero here, boy.

You deserve it.

No, Paquito, this is my dad's
and he must have it.

Let's get home and face
Martin all together.

What a great movie moment
with a full moon and all.

It reminds me...
[speaking Spanish]

Oh, my gosh, tonight is
the full moon challenge.

We'll never make
it back in time.

Eddie, how can we
get to Mexico and fast?

This is Hollywood
everything is possible here.

If you believe, my boy,
if you believe.

- Who're you calling?
- I am calling Centaur.

- Really, your old arch enemy?
- Only on screen, my boy.

We are actually
very good friends.

Hey, Centaur, I need
a big favor right now.

How soon can you get here?

Excelente. See you here.

Centaur is not far,
so he shouldn't take long.

Wait here, please.
I'll be right back.

Don't worry, we'll get to
the whistle tree on time.

Maybe so, but I worry about what
Martin could be doing right now.

- Me too.
- A little goodbye gift,
especially for you.

[speaking Spanish]

You were looking for a hero
that could save your family.

Well, instead,
that hero was you.

We all look outside
what we all have inside of us.

Open it, go ahead.

And, this time for real.

[laughing]

[rattling]

[Paquito] Centaur!

[speaking Spanish]
You should hurry.

[speaking Spanish]

Goodbye, Americano,
and thank you.

Welcome to the new Circo Extremo
from Martin the Kingfisher.

This is the beginning of an
all new Generation Circus.

Tonight, beneath this
glorious full moon,

history will be made
with the most spectacular

cape passing ceremony
the world has ever seen.

[cheering]

Now, go and get me the igniter.

The cape will soon come to me.
I deserve it.

And it is mine!

But first, you shall
watch an expl*sive act...

[gasping]

...where traitors are purged.

[laughing]

[crowd booing]

Goodbye, losers.

Say hello to the
birds in the sky.

[bird screeching]

[cheering]

[Laurie] Cuco!

Well, well, if it isn't
El Cappuccino coming
to save the day.

[laughing]

Well, you're too latte,
chocolate.

[laughing]

[Rayito] It's gonna blow.

Dovo, Vovo, attack!

[speaking Spanish]

[Laurie] Garcia,
use your super powers.

[blowing]

[grunting]

[speaking Spanish]

Let's go!

[laughing]

[Rayito] You can't escape.
You can't...

[grunting]

[yelling]

[grunting]

My cape, at last, is mine!

[gasping]

No!

[speaking Spanish]

[cheering]

Thank you, Cuco.
You have a big heart.

You've made me and your mother
very, very proud.

[Lucille] Cuco, thanks for
inviting us to your new show.

[speaking Spanish]

Good photo, move a little
to the left, please.

Oh, perfect!

Say, queso!

[all] Queso!
