Cuco. Cuco?
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.
- Oh, no, I'm late again. - Oh, man, gotta hurry, or I'll miss it.
Last one home is a rotten egg.
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?
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.
You know exactly what I mean, right?
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.
- 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.
- 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.
Cape.
- 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.
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.
Oh, no, is this the end of El Americano?
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.
Tacos, torta abra...
Cadabra.
I... I... I did it?
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?
You guys should put this comedy in the act.
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...
Buenas noches, my fine feathered friends, welcome to you all.
Our next act is a personal favorite of mine,
and I must say my wife, Laurie, makes a most lovely assistant.
Put your wings together for our very own mystic, El Gran Divino.
Since the beginning of time the mystic owls
have been the greatest magicians of all,
making possible the impossible.
Behold, behold.
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.
I said...
What's going on?
Those of you who don't know,
I am Martin the Kingfisher.
- Martin, where's Laurie? - Gayo, my old friend.
I will take over your petty little circus
with my electrifying Circo Extremo!
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.
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.
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.
Whoa!
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!
Oh, yeah.
Wow, the Tower of Challenges looks amazing.
Awesome, this is impressive! Challenging for sure.
- You ready, mijo? - I was born ready.
Good evening and welcome to the new Generation Circus.
Behind this curtain, a story unfolds.
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?
There, our main bad guys.
Disaster strikes, a lady in trouble.
Luckily for her, the street performer can carry her to safety.
But, wait, what is this? There's also a baby in danger!
The brave citizen must carry him, too.
More guns, more fireballs, more danger.
And, the baby's grandma is in trouble, too!
Fireballs are menacing the abuelita.
But our fearless citizen is an open target.
But wait, could this be, it is, El Americano!
Oh, no, the lava ball cannon.
Whoa! What is that?
This is your finish act, bad guys.
So, time to tell the boss what's up.
Shh...
Martin, Martin.
Stop talking so fast.
I can't understand a word you said.
The birds at the circus are preparing a new, big act.
Toys are popping everywhere.
It's big. It's new. It's fresh.
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.
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.
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.
- Sabotage. - Sabotage.
Come on, Dad, one more pass.
Ready!
Okay.
Good evening and welcome to the new Generation Circus.
Behind this curtain, a story unfolds.
Oh, no!
- Huh? - Watch out, Cuco!
- Cuco! - Cuco, no.
No!
Gayo, Cuco!
- Papa! - Gayo!
My good leg.
Papa!
Oh, Gayo.
We must take him home right away.
Carefully, please carefully.
Dad, I'm so sorry.
Look, Vovo, the cape.
Martin's gonna be so happy. He might even be nice to us now.
I want a ranch with horses, and cows, and chivos and a live chicken.
Oh, yes, a lot of chicken.
Quick, Vovo, hide!
It was just a little yellow canary, and he took the cape.
What are we gonna tell Martin now?
No, no way. This is all your fault.
He's waking up. He's waking up!
- 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 killing 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.
Please stop, you cockatoos.
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 gang of bad birds.
Whenever you're in trouble, who will help you on the double?
El Americano...
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.
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.
Are you sure you want to come along?
Hey, it was my great idea, remember?
You're right about that.
Vamanos!
Be careful, thoughtful... and hurry.
Wait for me!
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.
Did the sabotage go according to my plan?
Like a charm, boss.
And Gayo won't be flying or walking anytime soon.
Hey! The boss doesn't need to know all that.
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.
You want a ranch.
Enough! There's no time to lose.
Time to get that cape back.
Rest, sweet Gayo, rest.
I hear my old friend, Gayo, had a bad break.
Martin, you fiend.
- No, Gayo, don't. - This is an outrage.
You have no right for this intrusion.
You have not won the right to be here.
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.
And now the cape, where is it?
Well, don't just stand there.
Find it!
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.
So, the old owl knows something after all.
Me? I know...
Ash, squeeze the truth out of this petty magician.
Where... are... they?
- I'll never tell you. - Stop it! Don't hurt him!
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.
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!
Honestly, Garcia, a fear of heights?
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.
Keep up, Garcia. We can't fly for you, you know?
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.
Good...
What's that noise?
What? What?
No way!
Wow!
Paquito, where's Garcia?
- I don't know. - Garcia!
Garcia!
I need to pee-pee.
He's up there! He's up there, and he needs to pee-pee.
Quick, Paquito, let's go!
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.
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!
- Fly, Garcia, fly! - Flap your wings.
Garcia!
I'm alive.
I can't believe it. Thank you. Thank you, Cuco.
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.
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.
Now, be gone.
Palomas, you know what to do if she goes soft.
Don't you worry about it, boss.
You lay back down right now. You need time to heal.
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.
And, we need to get something for Divino.
What is this place?
Wow, wow, it looks like a place for Lucha Libre!
Let's take a shortcut through here.
It will be faster than going around and more fun!
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!
Careful, Garcia.
Guys... Guys!
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!
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.
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...
- ...and you don't want to fight? - What?
You have offended me, and worst of all,
you have disrespected my audience.
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!
But, now, you will witness my famous,
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...
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...
My mask now belongs to you,
- my brave opponent. - Wait.
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.
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...
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.
I will keep an eye on you, fierce luchador.
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...
Yes, we have everything ready, and we've even brought disguises.
- Question, why wear disguises? - They make us look good.
Well, at least the disguises will fool the parrot and distract him.
Whatever, just make sure that nobody gets hurt.
We're only after the cape.
No, no, no cake, cape.
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.
Take a look at this place. It's so dark and so mysterious.
♪ Check it out ♪
♪ Three, one for you ♪
That was easy.
So, you two are brave fellas.
But, I really need to end this.
I need that cape.
Why are you making it so hard?
I... just... want the cape.
- Paquito? - Paquito?
No. No, no, no.
Can we do it again?
It's a cave in, let's go!
What in the world?
Wait, Cuco, it's too dangerous.
Cuco!
Where are you?
Here, down here!
I need your help.
Hey, wait!
Yes!
Is everybody okay?
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?
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.
Come on, Paquito, let's take a look from up there.
Let's see...
We need to find the arch. Trueno said it was near here.
Hey, guess what, the zebra speaks perfect donkey.
He just told me where the arch is!
Wow, Garcia, that's great! Where?
There.
Come on, Garcia, let's fly to the top.
You go, I'll just stay here with my new friend
for a little while.
Let's go, Paquito. To the top of the world!
Wow, it's amazing!
Hey, Paquito, look that's the big, blue stripe.
We are getting closer.
Whoa, it's a rocket!
Who will help you on the double?
Whoa, bravo, that's a super EA move, bro.
Thanks. So, you're a fan too?
Saw him at Comic Con once.
El Americano...
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.
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!
I'm stoked.
Whoa, you're a natural, bro. I like you.
Surfs up, my fair feathered friends.
Hitch a ride to the border.
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.
Oh, no!
Wha... What's happening?
Oh, it's nothing. Happens all the time.
Oh, no, this line's gonna take forever.
That line's for humans.
There it is, the animal border crossing.
- Surfs up. - Giddy up!
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!
I've got it all.
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.
I really hope so.
Is it possible for some Mexicanos
- to eat something delicious? - Of course, my horse.
Hey, dudes, hurry, hurry, we're next.
Hey, wait, no, no, no.
- By Americano. - You will find El Americano...
Good luck.
Welcome citizens of Mexico.
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, shoot.
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 illegal 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.
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.
No problemo.
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.
Great job, Ash.
Now, we're ready for the explosive 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!
Slow down, slow down!
Boss, boss, let me explain it to you.
We caught Cuco and his friend in this old, abandoned mine.
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.
Wow, you finally agree with me!
Really, Rayito?
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.
- 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!
Yeah! Yeah!
I love the zoo!
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.
...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.
No, no rest for the wicked, because tonight is party time.
Wow!
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?
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.

Really, you think I should join them?
Yeah.
Sure, go show these whirly birds how it's done, dear.
Okay.
Go, Cuco!
- Your boy is incredible! - Totally!
Here goes the super flip on wheels.
♪ Right, right, right come on with me ♪
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.
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.
Don't worry, darling, I packed it myself.
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.
Come on, guys.
Goodbye, dear friends from Mexico.
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.
It's Ash!
Eat this, mosquito brain.
That surly left him seeing little birdies.
- We're okay. - Yes, we are.
No!
Cuco, go and we'll distract him.
You... must... leave.
Go, find the Americano!
Oh, my, I'm finally here!
Excuse me, Americano?
Who dares to enter Eddie Navarro's fortress?
I'm a friend of Lucille, sir, and a fan.
A fan, really?
Coming right down.
Hello, my boy,
I am Eduardo Diverio Navarro del Tabilano.
But, you can call me Eddie Navarro.
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.
Amazing, huh?
What about the super flip and all your amazing moves?
The super flip?
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.
Ash is coming! Ash is coming!
Good, good! Is Ash another fan?
No, no, no, not my photos!
No, no, no.
No, not my Picasso!
Who's all tangled up now, man?
No, no.
Not my best actor award.
I wish El Americano could be here.
Shoo, monster, shoo. Go away, you barbarian Frankenstein.
No, no!
Now, you'll get it, you oversized chicken, you.
No, no.
Are you okay?
Huh?
Come on, Cuco, come on. Kick some Ash!
- You made it. - Rayito?
- Paquito? - Oh, no, Paquito.
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...
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.
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.
Centaur!
You should hurry.
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.
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 explosive act where traitors are purged.
Goodbye, losers.
Say hello to the birds in the sky.
Cuco!
Well, well, if it isn't El Cappuccino coming to save the day.
Well, you're too latte, chocolate.
It's gonna blow.
Dovo, Vovo, attack!
Garcia, use your super powers.
Let's go!
You can't escape. You can't...
My cape, at last, is mine!
No!
Thank you, Cuco. You have a big heart.
You've made me and your mother very, very proud.
Cuco, thanks for inviting us to your new show.
Good photo, move a little to the left, please.
Oh, perfect!
Say, queso!
Queso!
