El Americano: The Movie

Cuco... cuco?

Yiaaaaa!

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?

Uh uh

sure you do, watch this!

Huh?

Oh no we're late again!

Oh, man! Gotta hurry or I'll miss it!

The 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.

Ok paquito, I'm going to say this only once,

so you have to listen very carefully alright?

Uaaaaagh!

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!

¡Ay!

You know exactly what I mean right?

But you're late for your job.

I know, I'm late to do my job,

but I made on time to watch

'El americano: The TV series'!

But, but, but, but the divas need their pink hats,

and divino his w...

Hold that thought. See ya!

Ay, ay, ay... uaaagh!

Mmhmm...

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 will be ready to be part of the show...

And I know you'll do great.

But mom, I don't wanna do old stuff.

I wanna 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 generations circus.

It's a dream-- and you get to live it!

Please don't disappoint your father.

Ándale, let's go!

In a minute, I... I just need to... change my underwear!

Yeah, that's it!

Ay ay, vamos, vamos...

I'm right behind you.

Echale primo!

Go! Go! Go!

Yeah!

Cape!

Oh yeah!

Holy guacamole!

Look out--

he's right behind you!

Cuco!

Dad, I... I was just going to...

How many times do I have to tell you:

This cape is not a plaything!

It is a symbol for all of us at the circus.

It is an honor to wear it.

And instead of trying to understand,

prepare yourself to follow our rules and traditions,

you are late!

And you waste your time, watching this... ay.

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 and you could--

enough! You think circus stars hatch overnight?

If you want to be a star

you first need to learn respect!

Until then,

you will continue to assist every one

with the props in the circus!

The divas need their pink hats.

C'mon, vamonos!

Garza Garcia, come on! We need to practice!

Uh? Yes divino, yes,

here it goes, here it goes?

Garza! You dork stork!

Sorry mighty divino...

Hey! I am a stork, not a dork

hijole,

come on chu! Pronto pues...

Oh!

Tacos, torta, abracad...

Abracadabra!

I, I, I did it?

-Where did he go? -Where did he go?

I'm up here you cucu cucu

hey you founded the divas pink hats

bravo, bravo El gran divino

no, no, no esperate...

Why? What have I done to deserve this?

You guys should put this comedy in the act!

I've heard this song a thousand times

and still love it!

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

Aah, 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,

some little bird will be here laughing,

entire families cheering.

It is our life, it is our...

Circo de las generaciones!

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, Lori, makes a most lovely assistant!

Put your wings together

for our very own mystic-- El gran divino!

Since the beginning of time, the mistic owls

has been the greatests 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, chupacabra, Chimichanga,

chalupa... cha!

I said... aaaaahh

What's going on?

Wow

ha ha

For those of you who don't know,

I am... Martin the king... Fisher!

Martin! Where is Lori?

Gayo, my old friend,

acaso no fui claro?

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 will take more than flash and threats

to take over the honorable tradition.

As bearer of the cape, it is I who sets the time

for a new challenge!

Fair enough.

A 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...

Lori

wha... 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 circo 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 generations 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 quetzal was the first of many quetzals 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 new the 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 quetzal awarded tradition and respect.

...and the bird with the biggest heart.

Ok, 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.
