[upbeat music plays]
[children giggling]
Hurry up, Gus. Move it. [laughs]
-I am! I am! Hold on! Wait up for me. -Hurry up!
[man] Good morning, Copi!
Morning, Mr. Manuel! Morning, Ms. Cuca! [laughing]
[voices] Good morning!
Hey, be careful, kids!
[whoops, laughs]
Careful, Copi!
-She never slows down. -Sorry! Pardon! Coming through!
Balloons. Balloons. [yelps]
Excuse me, sir! Kite flying.
Hey, watch it, little girl!
Morning, Don Viejo.
[laughs, strains]
Oh!
No way! Don't throw--
[Copi screams]
[pants] Careful, Copi! Careful! It's getting away. Grab it!
Get it, Copi.
Hey. Watch it, little girl!
Sorry, sir. Excuse me!
[screams] I can't control it!
-[clattering] -[Copi screams]
-That's my underwear. -[all laugh]
Cut the string.
[Gus grunts]
Gus, quickly!
-Hey, what do you think-- -Xico!
[dog barks]
[playful music]
-Yeah, Xico! Good job! -[barks happily]
[Gus shouts]
Yikes.
[crowd grumbling]
Nana Petra.
Now tell me, young lady, would you care to explain
why in the world are Mr. Rodolfo's underwear flying all over town?
[crowd laughing]
It was--
It was nothing, Copi.
So, how are you planning to clean up after your little tornado?
[Copi] Mm, I know!
We'll do a challenge.
Hey, watch it, Copi.
You know I don't like you saying that word.
I said "challenge," Grandma.
Ah, okay, that's fine.
But just remember, I don't like you saying things
like "cheesy" or "chummy." They sound very silly to me.
-[Copi] Mm-hm. -So, what's the challenge?
-To pick up the trash… together! -[crowd groans]
-[man] I got a cow to feed. -[woman] I'm not picking up her mess.
Well, Copi, it's just us.
Well, obviously, you forgot someone.
Uh, no, it's just us. Who else do you see out here?
It's Xico!
[Xico barks]
[uptempo music playing]
[whistles] Hey!
[barking]
Huh.
Oh, what a tranquil town! It's so nice.
[birds chirping]
[cars honking]
[traffic noise in distance]
[siren blaring]
[man] Gentlemen, I know investing your money can be scary,
but I can assure you this project is a literal gold mine.
I think I like it already.
Very surprising.
But you said there would be more than just gold out there.
You talked about more opportunities like, uh--
The minerals, the gases, and even diamonds.
And how will we get all these wonders without spending billions?
We explode the entire mountain with a ton of gunpowder and dynamite!
We'll get all of its little treasures through fracking.
Uh, fracking? I've heard of fracking, but, uh--
Don't you have any idea what fracking is?
Sounds like he doesn't. No idea at all.
Fracking, my esteemed guests,
this is the future! [evil laugh]
The system is quite simple.
We start by drilling down into the ground 500 yards.
[mimics drilling]
We inject our freshly drilled hole with a few million liters of water.
with methanol, benzene, ethylbenzene, and toluene!
-[evil laughter] -[grunts]
All we do is take over a small mountain town,
then get rid of whatever and whomever stands in our way.
-[grunts] -[clattering]
And then, we take what Mother Nature has hidden from us
and gain even more political power using our profound riches!
[gentle clapping]
And so tell us, where is this mythical mountain
you've convinced all of us to invest out money in?
[evil laughter]
The mountain is quite insignificant
and is located precisely…
right here.
[evil laughter]
RARE MINERALS - 3 MILES HIGH
[rumbling]
[birds chirping]
[gentle music playing]
[Copi sighs]
Mm…
[mountain rumbling]
What's wrong, Mother? Who's making you so angry?
[wind blowing gently]
-[church bell ringing] -[gasps softly]
Grandma, why are the town bells ringing?
Because, um, our mayor, Mr. Manuel, is apparently calling a town meeting.
-But, right now? -Mm, it's rare, Copi.
Hand me my scarf, please.
[door opens]
[voice whispering] Xico… Xico…
[whimpers]
[mystical music playing]
[voice] Xico…
-Xico! -[barks]
-Hurry up! Come on down with us. -[pants, barks]
[upbeat music playing]
[crowd chattering]
[grunts]
[tapping]
-[feedback screeches] -[howling]
My good people of San Jaime de las Jaibas, hello.
Uh… I've called you here to announce some really big news. [chuckle]
It's about time that progress has finally come
to our beautiful, lovely village.
What a thrill.
[gentle clapping]
Ever since I won in a landslide victory
to become mayor of San Jaime de las Jaibas,
I have never stopped working tirelessly and staying focused
on the well-being of you, my people,
passing a number of popular policies for our noble village.
It is beautiful, right? The most beautiful village, yes,
-and yet there are some matters… -[boy] Hey, miss!
…that haven't been discussed frequently enough…
Hmm?
[loud sniffle]
Do you know why our town has the word "jaibas" in it its name?
Because "jaibas" signifies a type of crab,
and long ago, this place was all covered by water.
It was part of the ocean.
How many years ago? Twenty?
No, you obnoxious little child. These things aren't so easy.
It was millions of years ago.
Millions?
-Oh, how old were you back then? -[groans]
[child gasps]
[crashing]
…we'll be left behind. And this is why it's time
for the riches that are hidden deep inside our mountain…
to be ours.
But what on earth are you even talking about, Manuel?
The mountain is already ours.
And it's already our greatest provider.
Yes, yes, yes, Nana Petra. Yes.
But now we've actually learned that our mountain has been
full of gold!
[crowd murmurs]
And these fancy businessmen have come here to help us with their evolved techniques
so that we can take out the riches that are inside our mountain.
The riches are ours,
but we could use the help of someone more business savvy.
How about that, huh?
A little gold wouldn't be too bad, though.
With that kind of money, I could finally install that zip line I've been wanting.
What are you talking about? Listen to you.
How could any of you indulge in this conversation?
Take a look around you, Grandma. Everyone's on board.
If you wanna file a complaint, then you can go to Congress.
And you can go to--
Grandma, don't!
Okay. And so, how long would it take you to get the gold out?
Oh, it would be a matter of weeks, my dear esteemed "Jamaicans."
It's Jaiminos, after the town.
I think it was close enough.
And how much are we gonna make per person?
Well, uh, we still have to do the calculations.
Weigh the variables, subtract the unforeseen costs,
add the risk percentage,
and divide all that by the random number you're imagining right now.
Oh, I can already see myself all dolled up, Policarpo!
And how do you plan on getting all that out of our mountain?
Listen, it's easy, you dear old hag.
We'll do it with fracking!
Oh yeah? But, wait a minute. Hold on.
'Cause I've read a lot about fracking, and it's not good at all.
Not to worry. It's perfectly safe, little girl.
Uh, in reality, it's very environmentally-friendly.
And the worst that could happen is your crops die, your cattle are poisoned,
maybe a few earthquakes here and there. But that's all there is.
[crowd talking in confusion]
But they'll be mild. Very mild.
-[growls] So listen up, San Marcosites--
The name is San Jaiminos because of--
[grunts] Just remember that in this world, there are two types of people,
those that fight and get everything they want
and those who never dare to chase their ambitions.
Very ambitious? Now he's talking about me!
Now you can understand, my dear San Jaiminos de las Jaibasinos,
that this original and revolutionary idea came entirely from me.
So now, when I eventually make my run for governor of the state,
as I've been planning for some years now, please don't forget your beloved--
Beloved, right? Yes, beloved Mr. Manuel!
-[crowd cheering] -[festive music playing]
[giggling]
Long live rock and roll!
[laughs]
[coughs loudly]
[snores]
You keep acting in favor of our interest,
and we'll make sure we find a way to repay you the favor, Mr. Governor.
[evil laugh]
Wait! Stop! Stop! Stop!
Stop! You don't understand what…
[Xico barks]
-[man snoring] -[Xico barks]
Don Viejo! Don Viejo!
We have to talk.
Petra, my love. Not now.
I'm tired.
Can't you see I'm all rusty and creaky?
[whines]
I'm going home for some well-earned rest.
Cuca, help me.
I'm begging you.
And take away my son's single opportunity to finally be governor
all in favor of one silly mountain?
My God, Petra. With you, it's always something.
[rumbling]
[whimpers]
[Xico barks, whimpers]
Come on. There are other paths, if we pave them.
Am I right, Xico?
Paths? Pave them? What does this mean?
[Petra] Come on. I'm waiting for you!
[Xico barks]
[engine starts]
[tires screech]
[bouncy music playing]
[humming]
[gasps]
[whimpers softly]
Tell me right now, little Manuel,
what's happening with this crazy plan you've unleashed on the town? Come on!
A plan, Mom? What are you saying? My dear, my beautiful Mom!
Just tell me you're not really thinking
of blowing up the mountain like all those men said.
Oh, Mom! How could you think I'd do that?
Don't listen to them!
They'll just scratch and dig a little bit over here, a little bit over there.
I mean, no one will even notice.
Do you give me your word, Manuel? Can I trust you?
But when have I ever lied to you, Mommy?
Me? You know me. I'm your little boy.
Oh, that's all I needed to hear to get a good night's sleep.
Mwah!
Sweet dreams, Mommy. Sweet dreams.
Good night. Good night.
-[ominous music] -[sighs]
[dogs barking in distance]
[sniffing]
Grandma, what did you mean by new paths?
And why do we have to pave new roads?
And why do you talk to the mountain like it's a real person?
[gasps]
Mm.
[whimpers]
I've seen you talking to it. Plenty of times.
[sighs] Ay, Copi, I'm just old and way too tired.
Why don't we go to sleep?
See, Xico?
Another question with no answer.
What was that?
I don't like it when you feel the need to hide things from me.
Copi, I promise you, you'll understand one day.
Yeah, sure.
Like I'll finally understand one day why my mom left and never came back.
[sighs] Give her time, Xico.
Give her time.
-[Xico whimpers] -[shushing]
[mysterious music playing]
[distant ringing]
[whimpers]

[shushing]
[Xico whimpers]
[barks]

[clattering]
[gasps]

[cracks]
-[gasps, pants] -[Xico whimpers]
Hmm?
Hmm.
[clatters]
[gasps]
[sneezes]
[sighs]
Mm?
Copi!
Hey Gus, what are you doing?
I got up early to go to school.
We're on vacation. No classes.
Okay, fine. I heard a sound outside, and guess what?
-It's Nana Petra-- -[gasps] Nana Petra!
-I lost her because of you. -Aw, c'mon. What did I do?
[barking]
-[barks] -Let's go.
[knocking]
Don Viejo?
-[Don Viejo] What's the password? -[sighs]
It's Petra. Open up, please.
[clattering, crashing]
Well, lookie here.
It's the love of my life.
[wolf whistles]
Come on, Don Viejo, I'm not in the mood for all of this.
The mountain is in danger.
The Mother, you mean?
[Nana Petra] There's no shortage of evil and greedy people who want to threaten.
But I have no idea how we'll defend it,
'cause the last time there was danger was when your…
[Nana Petra sighs]
We have to pave the paths once again, reunite the three stones,
and go seek out the messenger.
Petra, for God's sake, don't you see that we're way too old,
and at our age, we can't be out there running around.
[coughing]
But we're the guardians of the stones, Don Viejo.
-Guardians of the stones? -Listen, Petra, the stones are just fine.
All right?
And we can't even be sure that she would actually be willing
to unite her stone with ours again.
And as for the paths, you'll have to pave them.
I'm sorry, but I'm too old and broken to look for the messenger.
We both are. That's just the truth of the matter.
And we both know it. [coughing]
But this is our job!
I'll just go into the mountain and look for him myself. [groans]
Do you realize how dangerous it would be
if you went on that journey, my dear Petra?
You could potentially meet the same fate as your daughter, Lupita!
The mountain claimed her,
and the mountain still has her today.
We have to do something.
You know you can count on me to stop this,
but when it comes to her, no one knows.
Okay, Copi, so your mom is…
Copi?
[groans]
[Copi] Xico, hurry up!
[wind howling]
-[twinkling sounds] -[gasps]
[mysterious music playing]
[gasps]
[loud rumble]
[groaning]
[grunts]
[machinery whirring]
We're on our way, gentlemen.
The mother of all excavations.
We just have to transport everything we need
to our center of operations.
And where is this?
A location of no importance.
[knocking]
Petra.
Cuca.
What are you doing at my house?
Why, look at that.
I was just taking a stroll, and I guess I somehow ended up in hell.
Why don't you take a shower?
And why don't you iron that face of yours?
-Enough! - That might straighten up your wrinkles.
We can't be fighting.
We are the guardians of the stones.
What do I care?
If there isn't harmony between the three of us,
then we won't be able to unite them.
I'm not uniting anything.
The mountain is in real danger.
You know it very well.
I don't need to remind you who is responsible.
[scoffs]
Where is yours, Cuca?
I told you, Petra,
Manuel's political aspirations are much more important than--
Nana Petra, Copi is gone!
She went to the mountain!
What? But why?
-She went looking for her mom! -[gasps]
-[machinery rumbling] -[Xico barks]
What do you see, little dog?
[twinkling sounds]
[mystical music playing]
What are you talking about?
We actually overheard you earlier, when you were talking to Don Viejo,
and he said your daughter was trapped inside the mountain.
And then, before I even realized,
Copi disappeared and I think she ran off to save her with Xico.
Cuca, your stone!
Give it to me. I already lost a daughter, I won't lose my granddaughter too.
Give me your stone. Hurry up. Now!
At last!
I thought you weren't game for this, my dearest Cuca.
It's a trilobite?
Yes.
From when San Jaime de las Jaibas
was under the ocean, resting beneath the waves.
And so?
The only one who can conjure them to do what they must do is the messenger.
I have to go look for him.
Petra,
it's too dangerous.
You know you'll never make it alive to the center of the mountain.
You're too old for this, my dear Petra.
But someone has to take the stones there.
-I'll go. -[gasps]
Copi and Xico are my best friends.
No, Gus!
It's very dangerous.
But with no stones, they can't find the path, am I right?
First, we have to take the stone to the messenger.
Don't worry, Nana Petra.
I got it.
Gus, stop it!
[gasps]
Come on now, don't worry, my dear Petra.
The kids are stronger than you think.
You gave them so much knowledge.
And you paved the paths.
[sighs] History is repeating itself.
["Xochipitzahua" playing]
[bicycle bell chimes]
[breathes heavily]
Our Mother, our great mountain,
I beg you to pave your paths
and let these children look for the messenger inside of you.
I thank you.
[wind howling]
[gasps]
[grunts]
[Nana Petra] They come to you out of love
and respect.
Take care of them, as we have taken care of you.
The entrance must be around here somewhere.
It's the only path to the mountain.
-[rustling] -[gasps]
What's that?
[footsteps]
Xico, are you freezing, little buddy?
You're blue.
[man's voice] To enter the mountain, you have come, I see. [laughs]
You can't fool me. You are Copi, and he is Xico.
And you ask, who is he?
I'm a rabbit whose name is Tochtli.
I always talk, there's no stopping me.
So, you're a rabbit…
who talks?
Not only does he talk, he talks in verses, too.
You can talk too, Xico?
I talk? Yeah! I can talk!
I talk just like you.
Must be some kind of magic.
So nice being able to hear you, my little friend.
This is no witchcraft.
The old person, she's not weak, has unwittingly delivered you two
to the place you seek.
I don't understand anything he says.
I'm actually looking for my mom who's trapped inside the mountain.
[rumbling]
Let's go, let's go. To pave the paths, the lady has called me.
It is a good day to fulfill your destiny.
Hold on! Don't forget me!
[triumphant music playing]
[screaming]
What are you doing here?
Look. Nana Petra asked me to give you this thing here.
The ugly machines are coming. She said that only the messenger can help us.
And I bet he can tell us where my mom is.
[gasps] It's the-the-- It's the [gasps] the st-- the stone.
-I can't believe it. It's the-- -It's the stones.
Yes! Yes! The stones!
Oh! That rabbit can talk?
-And might I add, in verses. -What? You talk too?
Mm-hm.
[sniffs]
[magical music playing]
-[rustling] -[gasps]
[rumbling]
Quickly! Quickly!
You have to run.
This path is the only one.
On the other side, your dance will be done.
-Aren't you coming, Tochtli? -No, I'm a rabbit, not a snake.
No one will make that mistake.
I tell fortunes from the moon's belly button.
[rumbling]
-It's closing up! -Let's go!
[eerie, mystical sounds]
[gasping, sighing]
[majestic music playing]
[Xico] Amazing!
[celestial harps playing]
[chittering]
Okay, sure. But do you know where the heck we are?
We're deep inside the mountain.
I know that, Xico.
Sorry, I'm not used to you talking yet.
Xico, you're green now!
Don't worry, Xico. It's probably because of the light.
But it is weird.
[mystical voice] Trespassers, who dares?
-What was that? -The big tree.
[both] The big tree?
You two better keep your ears open and start getting used to all this.
[creaking, groaning]
[gentle mysterious music playing]
This one looks like it isn't made of stone like the other trees.
Actually… I'm the only one who hasn't been turned to stone.
[gasps] Who'd do such a thing?
[creaking]
I can't believe it; the forest is dying bit by bit.
Look around you.
The trees are so afraid, they're turning into stone.
And the closer those gigantic machines get to destroying the mountain,
the more threatened they feel.
[sighs] What a smart dog.
Mr. Tree, I came looking for my mom.
-And also the messenger. -And we have the stones with us.
Mm, I see.
Well, well.
I never thought someone would return here so soon.
Welcome, the holders of the stones.
-What's that? -Mr. Tree, are you crying?
There's a time to cry and a time to laugh.
Now we cry, but maybe with your arrival, we will once again laugh.
Here. When you find the messenger, he will tell you what to do with these.
-To find the--Oh, no! They're here. -[Gus gasps]
[rumbling]
-[all gasp] -Not again! [croaking]
-[all gasp] -[Gus] Run!
[all shouting]
[tense music playing]
[rumbling]
[machinery whirring]
[loud banging]
[whirring, drilling]
[gentle clapping]
You guys didn't waste any time.
[Mr. Frevler] There are three things you can't waste in life.
-First your time. -Your power.
And also, your gold.
[marching footsteps]
[brash music playing]
[squeals]
Welcome to the future, my newest and most spherical friend.
[evil laugh]
[rumbling]
Ay, Nana Petra. I was so worried.
I can't find Gus anywhere.
I was hoping he might be out with little Copi.
[Don Viejo sighs]
Carmen, we must talk.
[gasps]
[tense music playing]
[all panting]
[all gasp]
[loud thud]
[man's voice] Whoa, that was a harsh tremor there, my little bros.
-Hi! -Ew!
What's up? What's good?
Why are you staring?
Did I step in something?
He's horrifying.
Hey, be quiet. Shut up.
But it's a rat!
No, it's not. Can't you see he's a possum?
Tlacuache at your service!
[Gus winces]
My good bros. My lady bro.
I'm stoked to present to you both the possum,
the only marsupial in Mexico.
No imitations. No copies.
A beautiful bald tail,
the unmistakable tummy pouch,
useful for all occasions.
Look here: a little possum for you to take home.
If it says "Made in Mexico," then you know it's quality.
[squeaks]
Oh, my bad!
That was really unprofessional.
So, what's going on?
What are you doing out here, huh?
Hm? Huh?
Can you help us? We're looking for the messenger.
And my mom.
-We have these stones. -And tears from a tree.
Oh my gosh!
Then you bros are raring to go!
Ah, the famous stones!
They love to roll, huh?
The tears of wise old Ahuehuete.
Excellent for eye problems.
And your dog, Xoloitzcuintle!
-Purple? -Purple?
I've turned purple now?
-[rumbling] -[Xico groans]
Know what I think, bros?
It's time to go inside.
Things are about to get pretty ugly around here.
[sniffs]
And also, we have an unseen spy in our midst.
[ominous music plays]
Come in, come in, my little bros.
-[all groaning] -[elevator dings]
[scoffs] I can't believe you.
How could you let them run off like that, Nana Petra?
I couldn't stop them, Carmen.
What do you mean you couldn't stop them? I mean, they're just kids.
And what is all this nonsense you're talking about? My God!
I'm not asking you to understand, Carmen.
I'm asking you to trust in me.
[explosions blasting]
My son and your granddaughter are out there!
I can't believe you. This is insane, Nana Petra!
Especially after what happened out there years ago to Juan and Lupita!
Have a little compassion, for God's sake, my dear Carmen.
Sorry to tell you like this, Don Viejo.
Do you think these rich people consider us before they go and destroy everything, hm?
They'll do anything as long as there's money involved.
They destroy entire communities.
They kill people!
But you know we've beaten them all before, Carmen.
There have been many others through the years.
Oh Nana Petra, can't you see they have a whole army?
They're already destroying everything!
Do I have to remind you?
Juan and Lupita are dead.
[melancholy music playing]
Where are you going, Carmen?
You can stay here and keep talking about all your imaginary nonsense.
Messengers, guardians, precious magical stones.
But I'm going there to find my son and Copi.
-[door slams shut] -[Nana Petra sighs]
What do we do now, Petra?
What do you mean, Don Viejo?
We follow her!
We can't let her go all alone.
The brave run and die.
Clever men stay back and live.
And there aren't that many of us left now. [coughs]
Move it. I'm done listening to all your rambling speeches.
Come in! Welcome to my home, my little bros.
Wanna see my treasures?
Check it out.
Sorry, bros. I don't have a cleaning lady or anything.
Being a shaman doesn't pay all that much.
Look at this boot!
It walked the entire desert.
-[clinking] -Huh?
And this hat flew in from Africa.
-Hm? -A lazy kid's journal.
What? [laughs nervously]
And this underwear! [groans]
If they could only talk, am I right?
[retches, winces]
Oh, look how serious you are, little Xoloitzcuintle.
-[nose honks] -Come on, brother. I know I'm ugly.
[laughs]
But do you know what I really am?
Wait, do any of you know?
I'm the Mexican Prometheus, little bros.
I stole fire from the gods.
They didn't even know!
Then brought it down to you guys.
Really! I stole it with my tail!
That's why it's all bald and gnarly and gross.
I think that's why I keep collecting things.
Huh?
You know it's a habit that's hard to beat.
[laughs]
And what about you, little bro?
Do you have any idea what you are?
-Yeah, I'm Xico. -Uh-huh.
And I'm a Xoloitzcuintle dog.
I don't think you have a single clue about who you are, little bro.
Listen, my man, I'll be straight with you all, right?
I'll tell you what you are.
[crashing]
[munching]
Look, little bro.
This is you, man.
You belong to a really, really ancient race.
[rollicking harmonica music]
[Tlacuache] It was the god Xólotl, the god of the twilight,
master of the evening star and the underworld.
He created you.
♪ Your great-great-great-great Great-great-great-grandfather ♪
Xólotl, he created you from a little bone splinter.
That's why you're so skinny.
[Xico] Hey!
[Tlacuache] ♪Your great-great-great-great Great-great-great-grandfather ♪
♪ Your great-great-great-great Great-great-great-grandfather ♪
It's all true.
You're magical!
You're a healer.
A companion to the living under the sun and the dead in darkness.
♪ Your great-great-great-great Great-great-great-grandfather ♪
Me?
♪ Your great-great-great-great Great-great-great-grandfather ♪
You see?
That's how you ended up on Earth to carry out your special mission!
[laughs]
-[coins jingling] -[repeating] Huh?
You're my magical guardian, little doggy.
Wait a minute!
What do you mean, "doggy"?
He's not a French poodle, my homie.
He's Xoloitzcuintle, little girl.
Show some respect.
He's going to help you cross the river of the dead
when you kick the can.
But, well of course, that's a long way off for both of you.
-Oh! -Well, thanks for defending me,
but we're in a hurry so can you please show us what path we need to follow?
That all depends, brother.
Are you going in…
or going out?
Or going up?
Or going down?
We're looking for the messenger.
-We're looking for my mom. -[Gus grunts]
So why don't we try to keep a lookout for both of them?
Here, listen up, little bros.
Is there a messenger out there?
Yes.
But to find him, you'll have to walk a lot.
A lot!
To the center of the mountain.
Huh?
It's like walking to the center of the universe.
-There's a woman. -[gasps]
Yes!
But I don't know if it's your mother.
-That's a free warning. -Okay, but how do we get there?
You have to walk a lot.
A lot!
Toward the center of the mountain!
Which is like walking to the center of the universe.
-[laughs] -[engine whirring]
-[clattering] -The same place?
If you think so, sure, why not?
-What's with all the mystery? -[slurps]
You know, it just sounds cooler. It's more interesting.
It creates an atmosphere with more production. You get it.
-[rumbling] -[all gasp]
[Tlacuache groans]
What's that?
It's those businessmen.
They're setting off dynamite in the mountain.
-How do you know? -He knows because he's magical.
-Tlacuache! -Is he dead?
No, that's just what they do.
When there's danger around, they play dead.
[fly buzzing]
Hey, get off! Get off!
[Gus] Huh?
Now what? Where are we going, guys?
-[sigh] Why do you always talk like that? -[Xico sniffs]
You sound like that possum.
Oh, sorry your highness.
Didn't know you were all prim and proper speaking.
-Hey now! -Come on.
My nose tells me it's this way.
[ominous tones, rattling]
[snarling]
[drilling continues in distance]
Hey, Mr. Boss Man, gentlemen, my dear, beloved, beautiful partners,
-it looks like we have a problem. -Of course, that old woman is hardheaded.
I knew she'd be a problem for us.
Mr. Boss Man, I'm the law in this town.
If she causes any sort of trouble, I can just arrest her
for hindering our progress. It's as simple as that.
Dear old hag, please tell me, what seems to be the problem?
What part of loving and respecting our sacred mountain
was difficult for you to understand?
Come on now. We can always negotiate.
All you have to do is name your price and then just sign here
that the three of you will never return to this mountain.
My price? Do I look like a broom to you?
Madam, it's evident that what my partner meant to say
is that within this town, you're an influencer.
Oh, don't you dare insult this woman in front of me.
She's earned my respect.
What I mean is you can influence people.
If you step aside, ma'am, no one will oppose us.
But Mr. Manuel, you're the mayor.
You can't let them destroy our land.
I'm afraid that your mayor has already given us his authorization.
FRACKING CONTRACT
Rest assured, we'll tell the community about this, Mr. Manuel.
And in fact, we're going to sue you for destroying our natural resources.
Get on with the fracking and the dynamite.
There are two children inside that mountain!
You're lying to me.
No! I promise.
-You are lying. -I am not.
-Tell the truth! -It is the truth!
-No, it's not. -You have to listen.
-I won't listen to your lies. -What else you want me to tell you?
-The truth! -There are two children out there!
And one of them is my son!
Manuel, Gus and Copi are inside the mountain.
Gus and Copi?
And Xico.
[whispering] I'll do everything I can to delay the excavation.
What's that? Speak up now.
I'm convincing them to drop the lawsuit and demands.
-You coward! -[slap]
[cell door rolls, clinks shut]
Now, I'm very sorry, Nana Petra, but today you went too far.
Did I say "too far"? I meant way too far!
[sighs] You've always had a way with words, Manuel.
We'll see if you talk like that to us
when you can't find any trace of Copi or Gus.
This is extremely different.
What you did today is called disrespecting authority, eh?
The kids are now in my capable hands.
There's a rescue team searching the entire area.
Eh? Fully searching that whole area.
[sighs] You don't understand, Manuel.
You've never understood anything in your whole life.
Gus, let's go!
[Gus laughs]
[Copi laughs]
[slow, mournful music playing]
[Xico gasps]
-Let's stop. It's so hot out here. -Yeah, that's because we're in a desert.
[Gus] But inside a mountain.
Careful! Look behind you!
-[crashing] -[all screaming]
Who are you? Why are you attacking us?
I'm Xappan.
Tell me, before you die, where are you going?
We came out here looking for my mom!
-We have a mission! -With the power of the stones,
-we'll save the mountain! -The stones!
This mountain was made by the gods.
It must be destroyed.
The gods must pay for their betrayal.
-[Copi grunts] -[tense music playing]
[grunts]
[growling]
[Xico] Run! [growls]
[Xappan grunts]
[Copi] Xico, you were so brave.
[Gus laughs, gasps]
Oh wow!
Did you see? He turned orange.
I know.
I think your dog is radioactive.
Don't say that. Xico is magical.
You know that I could hear you, right?
C'mon, we have to drink the water to stay on our path!
[rushing water]
[growling]
[sniffing]
[sighs] I am getting so tired.
[exhales]
There's something…
-Something's wrong! -[Xappan growls]
Copi!
-[gasps] -Revenge is mine! [grunts]
[Copi screams]
[Nana Petra gasps]
[Carmen] Nana Petra!
My Petra, are you okay?
She's gone!
No, Copi!
[barking]
[laughs]
[grunts]
My chest really hurts and I--I feel weird.
Kinda dizzy.
[mournful music playing]
Xico, she has a fever.
You'll be okay, Copi, I promise.
We have to do something, but what?
Guard her, Gus. I'll find the messenger.
He'll be able to help cure Copi.
-MUNICIPAL JAIL -[Carmen] Nana Petra.
[gasping]
Carmen…
It was like--
[man] Petra Padilla, Espiridión García, Carmen López.
You can come out.
Someone came and paid your bail.
[Nana Petra] But who?
Petra.
[gasps] Cuca.
What made you change your mind?
If at our age, we still can't tell the difference between good and evil…
[sighs] We have things to do! Hurry!
[rumbling]
Quickly! We have to warn everyone in town
what these evil businessmen's real plan is for the mountain.
[tolling]
Come on!
Yes!
BACK IN 10 MINUTES
[gasps]
[sniffing]
[heroic music playing]
-[loud thud] -[yelps]
[panting]
[voice whispering] Xico…
Xico…
[clanging, engines revving]
[loud whirring]
It's time to start fracking!
[cawing]
[intense orchestral music playing]
[rumbling]
This is the moment we've been waiting for.
The moment when millions and millions
of hectoliters of methanol and ethylbenzene
will melt the mountain's rocks so the drillers finally can do their job
and excavate its vast riches for us to line our pockets with.
[gentle clapping]
[coughs] Uh, Mr. Frevler,
I don't think you ever said we were going to use so much dynamite.
Honestly, my dear friend,
you should know I really don't give a damn.
-[man] Hey, stop these machines! -[crowd] Get out!
It's supernatural spirits!
There's no such thing as spirits!
[crowd shouting]
Boss man, are you sure about this? Because, because…
Prepare the injection!
Inject it!
[whirring]
[melancholic music playing]
Copi.
[machines whirring]
[crashing]
I failed you, my child.
[tense music playing]
[rumbling]
[Xico strains]
[shouts]
[voice whispering] Xico…
Xico…
Wake up, Xico.
-[Xico groans] -Your path hasn't ended yet.
Oh yeah, I think I recognize your voice.
I called you here, Xico.
I asked for you to come find me.
And Copi? I have to help her!
First, you have to help all of us.
I--I fell like I've seen you before.
You are…
Yes, Copi is my child.
Lupita!
[gasps]
"Lupita."
No one has called me that in a long time.
Why are you here?
And why did you ever leave?
[Lupita] I didn't leave.
I never left.
I've been staying here, as a guarantee, but they always come back.
With their machines, their weapons, their ruthless ambition,
bringing death and destruction.
[crowd shouting]
[crowd] Get out!
[man] We don't want you here!
[crowd] Get out! Get out!
[clamoring]
-Juan! -[gunshot]
No! Juan!
-Lupita… take care of our Copi. -[Copi crying]
[metal creaking, crashing]
[voice] This cannot happen again.
There will always be new men trying to destroy the mountain.
[melancholy music playing]
[Lupita] I have to go.
For her, for everyone.
I will stay with you to protect the mountain.
So Copi's father, he was killed?
Yes, for defending the mountain.
And now…
[wind howling]
All this happened because I couldn't find the messenger?
No, Xico.
That's the future.
That is what will happen to the mountain if you don't complete your mission.
But I'm just a Xoloitzcuintle dog.
And I'm too skinny. And too little.
You're much more than that, Xico.
[magical music plays]
[Xico] I am?
You must return immediately to find Copi and Gus.
But I don't know how to save her.
It's the tears, Xico.
But most importantly, it's your own hidden power.
In here.
[gasps] But how will I be able to get myself back up there?
[chuckles]
[eagle screeches]
Oh, please. Help me find my friend, Copi.
-Aren't you coming? -The decision isn't mine.
Take care of her.
Hmm.
[eagle screeches]
Go save her, Xico.
[triumphant music playing]
We have to hurry before it's all too late.
I think I might know someone who could help.
[acoustic guitar music]
[screams] Oh no, c'mon! That's enough! Enough! Enough! Oh, c'mon.
-[screeches] -Tlacuache, we need your help!
Xico! Oh, dude, you scared me! What do you mean?
Of course, I'll help you out. You guys are my little bros. [screams]
[heroic music playing]
[Copi whimpers, sighs]
[grunts]
[panting]
[Copi breathing heavily]
[panting]
Hang on, Copi. You'll be better.
Have some water. Please!
[Gus sighs]
[cries softly]
[squelching]
-[drilling] -[man] The dynamite is ready!
[man 2] We need to move those machines!
[man 1] Let's go!
[man 2] Hurry up! What are you waiting for?
To the right! C'mon, move it a little closer.
That's it!
[men shouting instructions]
[crashing]
[man] Come on!
[henchmen whimpering]
[mountain rumbling]
Have faith, Carmen.
There's still some time for a miracle.
Why are they taking so long?
I'm afraid you're my greatest disappointment.
I want you to know that.
-[rumbling] -[Mr. Manuel gasps]
[crashing]
[all gasping]
This is for our mountain!
[all] Get 'em!
[crowd cheering]
[crowd clamoring]
[gasping]
[eagle screeches]
Copi needs us.
Xappan poisoned her, but we have with us the powerful tears of Ahuehuete.
Look, the mountain is dying. It's terrible.
[tense music playing]
[screeching]
Xico!
Eh… quickly, quickly, pass me the tears!
Yeah, they're right here.
Hmm. Now?
Hold on. There's one more ingredient.
[emotional music playing]
[crying]
[whimpering]
[coughing]
Xico?
[sweeping music]
Copi, you're okay!
Yeah! [laughs]
[Copi and Gus laughing]
[angry clamoring]
[woman] We don't want you here!
[grunts] Take that!
[growls] Need more acid!
[loud bang]
[eagle cries]
[rumbling]
-[Copi gasps] -[Xappan growling]
You survived somehow.
So now, I'll get to finish all of you off!
[growling]
[Xappan shouts]
[Xico sniffing]
[tense music building]
-[Xappan growling] -shouts]
[hissing]
[eagle cries]
[Tlacuache panting]
[Xico snarls, barks]
[eagle cries]
[Xico shouts, snarls]
[Xico screams]
[all gasp]
[Copi] Xico!
[Xico snarling]
[Xappan growls]
[Xico growls]
-[Xappan grunts] -[Xico screams]
-[snap] -[screams]
[gasp]
-[Xico groaning] -[claws snapping]
-No! -[growling]
[groaning]
[tense music swelling]
[shouts]
[all laughing]
[Gus] Mm?
[Tlacuache gasps] The Blue Buck!
It's too late, isn't it, bro?
[rumbling]
[Blue Buck] No.
It's not too late.
There's still enough time to locate the messenger.
But we already did everything we could to find him!
And it turns out we couldn't even find my mom.
[sniffling]
I guess we failed.
Your mission wasn't to find the messenger.
You mission was to accompany him, until he was able to find himself.
Me?
[Blue Buck] Take your rightful place within this story, Xico,
and finish your mission.
[triumphant music builds]
The stones, bring them out now! The time has come!
They did it! They did it!
They did it, Don Viejo!
-[man] Yay! -[man 2] Nature is reacting!
[growls] Finish them!
[soldiers shouting]
-[rumbling] -[shouting]
[loud rumbling]
[gasping]
[soldiers shouting]
[crashing]
[creaking]
[intense music plays]
[roars]
[loud thud]
[low growling]
[screams]
[gasps, screams]
[explosive booming]
[people crying]
[businessman] Don't you dare run away! Come back!
[screaming]
Stop! Where the heck do you think you're going?
What are you doing? Why do you even think we pay you so much money?
[all screaming]
Come back here right now, or you're all gonna get fired!
What in the world is this?
-What's going on? -[grunts]
Let me go! I'm too important!
Extremely important! You're all pathetic insects.
-Insects! I'm a millionai-- -No!
[tense music playing]
[growling]
[screaming]
Die, you darn mountain!
You're nothing!
[grunts]
You stupid villagers!
I've never known any fear.
Don't you see that makes me super powerful!
[growling]
Oh! Take cover!
No! No!
-No! No! -[loud thud]
[whooshing]
-[gasps] -[rumbling]
[eagle screeches]
[tranquil music playing]
Huh?
[groans]
So now, man's desire for profit
has once again put nature's fragile balance in danger.
Only because of the noble actions of the bravest few
was our precious land saved.
It is our duty to honor the bravery of these young ones.
Nana Petra! [laughs]
Copi! [laughs]
[chuckling]
Those who did evil received their punishment.
Those who acted bravely have received their just rewards.
We have all learned a lesson.
Only one among you has not yet paid for their mistake.
You betrayed your people and the Earth that has nurtured you for so long.
Your son deserves punishment.
Sir, please don't.
He has betrayed you.
You, a guardian and protector of the stones.
No. I have failed him.
I'm the one who should have taught him to respect the mountain.
[inhales]
[gasps, laughs]
Lupita?
[Copi] Mom?
Mm-hm.
-[both laughing] -Mommy!
[gentle music playing]
[Tochtli] Xico…
Take your place among us and show everyone your brilliance.
-[Copi] Xico! -Huh?
Hey, come here, best friend.
-[pants] -[Copi laughs]
I proudly say to you, you have triumphed, sweet Xico.
It is true that love and friendship defeat bad citizenship.
[crowd cheering]
[sighs]
[Blue Buck] He who listens to nature learns to see in darkness.
And only he who can see in darkness will find the path to the light.
