Nothing really bothers Miguel.

Oh, yeah, I bother him.

Ha ha! But I'm just a little bit annoying.

Other than that...

MIGUEL: Uh! Que lio!

MAYA: When it comes to his drawing,

Miguel can drive himself crazy.

Ay! Bien loco!

Ahem!

Hi.

One time Miguel was trying to finish a comic book

for a big contest,

and nothing was going to stop him!

At least that's what he thought.

Ah...ah-choo!

[Sniffles]

Miguel, are you all right?

Ah-choo! Doin' great.

Ah-choo!

You don't sound so great.

I've got to get this comic book in the mail by :.

Ah...

I just can't figure out the ending of the story!

The superhero's trapped...

the villain's getting away!

[Coughs]

¿Y despues que pasa?

How about the superhero discovers

an amazing superpower he didn't know he had?

That would never happen.

No, I tried that. It didn't work.

OK...well, um, what if the superhero

finds a secret passageway out of the trap

and he sneaks up on the villain?

That's this one combined with this one.

All righty.

Well, let's think here.

Ah...

Ooh, you have an idea?

Ah...ah...

Great, great! What is it?

Ah...ah...

Come on, say it!

Ah-choo!

Oh...

Miguel?

MIGUEL: I have to get out of bed.

I'm sorry, Miguelito.

You have a fever, and you have to rest.

But my comic book--

I have to finish it, or I'll miss the contest.

Or Maya can finish it.

Huh? Miguel, I don't think I can.

Casi lo he terminado.

All you have to do is think of a really great ending...

one that's really exciting and funny and action-packed and...

What exactly do you mean by, um, great?

[Snoring]

No tengo ninguna idea.

Hmm?

I have no idea how to finish this.

What if my ending is terrible?

Maya, Miguel just wants you to help him.

That's what families do. They help each other out.

Rawk! It's true!

Plus, sometimes the more brains you have thinking about something,

the better it gets, nena.

Hmm, the more brains...

[Gasp]

iEso es! !¡Gracias, papi!

Ha ha ha ha!

Maggie, it's Maya.

We need to have an emergency meeting

of all of our brains at your house.

Great! I'll be right over.

What are we doing here?

I have no idea.

You all may be wondering what you're doing here.

Uh-huh.Umm... Umm...

Well, I brought you here because I need your brains.

Ah! !¡Mi mente!

I mean I need your imaginations.

Ah!

Oh!

!¡Imaginaciones! That's OK!

Miguel has been working like crazy

to get this comic book finished

so he can enter it in the contest.

But today he got sick, so he couldn't finish it.

Our job is to think of a creative ending,

finish the comic book, and get it in the mail

before that clock strikes :.

[All gasp]

Actually, that clock is broken.

OK, fine. That clock.

[All gasp]

So, meet your superhero-- Tototl-tochtli.

Toto what?

Tototl-tochtli.

Part rabbit, part bird, all hero.

Miguel based his superhero on Aztec stories and drawings.

Cool.

So, what happens in the story?

Well, it starts on the morning

of the regional soccer championship game.

Using his color-changing powers to blend in,

the evil villain, the cryptic Chameleon

also known as Cuetzpallin,

sneaks into the soccer stadium

ready to hatch his most cold-blooded plot yet!

Ha ha ha ha ha!

Now you see me...

now you don't!

Ha ha ha ha ha!

Ah ha!

There it is-- the championship trophy.

And now it will be mine!

With one snap of the tongue.

The famous championship trophy--

you are finally mine!

What will I do with you, my treasure?

Maybe I'll eat bugs out of you.

Only time will tell.

But now we must escape this place.

[Alarm blaring]

REFEREE: Help!

Meanwhile, from his secret hideaway deep in the woods,

Tototl-tochtli hears the news of trouble.

Uh-oh, trouble. Uh-oh, trouble.

What's going on, Rabbit-bird fax?

Didn't you hear me the first time?

I said trouble.

The championship trophy is missing?

This sounds like a job for...

Tototl-tochtli!

Rabbit-bird man!

With a hop and a flap, away!

Squawk-mobile, to the soccer stadium!

Look, up in the sky! It's Tototl-tochtli!

THEO: Hey, I just thought it was a flying turquoise car

with feathered wings,

that looks like a rabbit-bird

that was making a nosedive onto the field.

Oh, yeah!

Yay! Woo hoo! Hee hee!

Tototl-tochtli, the trophy!

It was right here, and now it's gone.

Interesting. Very interesting.

First I'll use my goggles to survey the area.

That bird-bunny thing won't get me this time!

Run! Faster!

Ugh!

MECHANICAL VOICE: Lock on target.

Just as I suspected.

This is the work of Cuetzpallin.

Ha ha ha ha ha! There is nothing I love more than a caged bird!

!¡Hasta la vista, Tototl-tochtli!

Uh! Ugh!

Must...escape...net!

And?

Well...that's it.

ALL: That's it?

That's all Miguel has so far!

We have to think of the rest.

OK, so, what do you have?

Uh-huh.Umm... Umm...

I think of it! I know how the story ends!

Great, Tito! Let's hear it!

TITO: Tototl-tochtli is trapped in the goal

and cannot get out.

Must...escape...net!

TITO: And then here comes Tito-tolo,

the world's greatest soccer player!

And only years old.

CROWD: Tito-tolo! Tito-tolo!

Tito-tolo! Tito-tolo!

Um... ¿Perdon?

I don't mean to interrupt,

but I'm tangled in a net here, and...

I've got a world to save.

Right!

With one kick, I save you and capture Cuetzpallin!

Referee, the whistle, por favor!

[Tweet]

Nice job, Tito!

Nice job, Tito.

Yeah, good stuff, man.

Good to go?

Well, I liked the story,

but instead of Tototl-tochtli being the hero,

it was...Tito.

Tolo?

Yeah! Is good, no?

Well...

Ooh! Ooh! I have another idea.

Listen to this.

Tototl-tochtli

is trapped in the goal and can't get out!

And then in comes the famous pop music duet:

The Fashionista Police!

We were going to sing to you all

during the halftime show,

but there's a certain bird-slash-rabbit

that could use a song.

TOGETHER: Tototl-tochtli, this is for you.

♪ Sometimes you feel tangled up ♪

♪ All caught up in a net

♪ But if you think you've had enough ♪

♪ Don't give up just yet ♪

♪ You got to hold on!

♪ Just as long as you can

♪ You got to hold on!

♪ Oh, Rabbit-bird man!

[Crowd cheering]

Call me dense, but I don't get

how this is gonna help save the day

or finish the story.

Oh...well... it...Yeah.

I haven't thought that far ahead.

Well, what about this?

Tototl-tochtli has birdlike superpowers, right?

Well, what if he has the power to mimic, like parrots do?

So...

♪ Sometimes I feel tangled up ♪

♪ All caught up in a net

♪ But if I think I've had enough ♪

♪ I can't give up just yet ♪

♪ I've got to hold on! ♪

♪ Just as long as I can!

I've done it! I've escaped!

The trophy is mine!

♪ Hold on!

♪ I'm a Rabbit-bird man ♪

Why...that song.

It's, it's...beautiful.

What am I doing?

Stealing things, causing trouble.

This life of evil...

it was never the life I wanted.

All I ever wanted to do was...was...

dance!

♪ You got to hold on!

Ah, the power of music.

♪ Hold on!

♪ Yeah-yeahhhh!

Thank you! Thank you!

Good night. You're beautiful.

No, it's not me, it's you.

Oh, stop it!

Thanks.

Nice! Very nice!

I think we have a story!

[Gasps]

And it's a good thing, too.

We're running out of time.

All right, let's get drawing--

But...wait...

where's Tito-tolo, the soccer star?

And where was the action?

Didn't Miguel want action?

Hmm...Oh, yeah, mm-hmm, he mentioned that.

Here's how I think the story should end.

So, our hero is trapped in the goal

and can't get out!

Must...escape...net.

Just then, he hears some beeps!

[Beep-beep-beep]

And he sees some flashing lights!

And then down onto the field lands...

Robo Theo!

I am Robo Theo.

% robot, % kid,

% awesome.

Robo Theo!

I'm so glad you're here.

I'm tangled in this net and can't get out.

Thanks, Robo Theo!

Get on.

Hold on.

Activating supersonic scanning device.

Chameleon detected.

I've escaped! The trophy is mine!

Now all I have to do is board that plane

and I'll be on my way to Puerto Vallarta!

Ha ha ha!

Ever get the feeling that a duo of superheroes

is about to swoop down on you and ruin your day?

No?

That's funny, because I do.

Uh, pardon me...

Run!

Stop right there, you weasel!

I'm a chameleon... un camaleon.

Activate refractory plasma neutralizer.

Can't move!

Trophy saved.

And then Robo Theo opens up the trophy

and finds a microchip hidden inside.

The chip contains , gigawatts of data.

OK, OK, Theo. I think we have enough.

So, is everybody OK with this ending?

Wow, Robo Theo can do everything.

Yeah, but where's the music?

And the soccer star?

But everybody loves robots!

Miguel would love the music...

Miguel loves soccer...

Miguel would love the music...

Miguel loves soccer...

Robots!

Soccer!

The music!

Robots!

Soccer!

The music! Robots!

[Sighs]

Robots...

Action's the way to go.

No, music's the way to go.

But Miguel loves soccer!

We've got to have a soccer star!

It needs more action!

[Whistles]

Sorry--just need some quiet here so I can think.

I got it!

So...

Tototl-tochtli is trapped in the goal

and can't get out!

Oh, if only Robo Theo knew I was in trouble.

He'd be able to cut me free!

Hey, I know!

Fashionista Police!

Come here!

Yes? Yes?

I need you to help me sing the Robo Theo theme song!

Repeat after me:

♪ Robo Theo to the rescue!

♪ Robo Theo to the rescue! ♪

!¡Todos!

♪ Robo Theo to the rescue! ♪

CROWD: ♪ Robo Theo to the rescue! ♪

♪ Robo Theo to the rescue! ♪

♪ Robo Theo to the rescue!

You called?

Robo Theo, quick!

You must rescue me

so we can capture Cuetzpallin and save the trophy!

I have a feeling they need my help.

There's Cuetzpallin!

And he's heading for that airplane!

Prepare for descent!

I've done it! I've escaped!

The trophy is mine!

Now all I have to do is board that plane,

and I'll be on my way to Puerto Vallarta!

Ha ha ha! Oh?

Why do I have a funny feeling I've been here before?

[Gasps]

Oh! Run!

There he goes! Get him!

Activate refractory plasma neutralizer.

Malfunction.

Malfunction? But he's getting away!

You didn't catch me this time, Tototl-tochtli!

To Puerto Vallarta I go!

Oh...

TITO: Hold on, Rabbit-bird man!

Huh?

No!

Ha!

Got you now, Cuetzpallin!

Your days of trophy-snatching are through!

Hand it over.

Oh, thank you, thank you, Tototl-tochtli!

You saved the trophy!

Don't just thank me.

I couldn't have done it without help from my friends:

Robo Theo, the Fashionista Police,

Tito the soccer star...

CUETZPALLIN: And Cuetzpallin.

Nice try.

ALL: Yay!

Tito-tolo's in it!

And the singers!

And Robo Theo, too.

Hey, they were your ideas.

I just had to put them all together.

Uh-oh. What about the drawings?

Done.

And we have whole minutes to spare!

Uh, Maya? That's the wrong clock.

[Gasp]

Oh, no! We only have two minutes!

Run!

Senor Felipe, wait!

Uh!

It's gone...

We missed it...

There's a mailbox on Maple Street.

Senor Felipe will have to stop there,

and then we can give him the package!

Oh, no!

I got cut off!

Throw!

Senor Felipe!

Espera...

You got it to me just in time.

Well, I'm about to go back

to sort the mail at the post office right now.

MAYA, VOICE-OVER: We put our brains together

and came up with something

that no one person could have made alone.

But would the judges feel the same way?

Mail's here!

!¡Aqui! This is it!

Uh...

Open it!

I'm too nervous.

You open it.

I'll open it.

"Dear Miguel,

"thank you for submitting your comic book,

"The Adventures of Tototl-tochtli."

"We are pleased to announce that you have won the prize

for most creative idea!"

I won a prize!

Yeah! Yes!

Yes! Boo-yeah!

Miguel, you did it!

I didn't do it-- We did it.

Thanks for finishing it, Maya.

MAYA, VOICE-OVER: Miguel thanked me for finishing his book,

but the real thanks go to Robo Theo!

The Fashionista Police!

And Tito-tolo!

Yeah!

And of course, Rabbit-bird man!
