Koati Summery Plot

Koati Summery

The movie takes place in the lush and prosperous Land of Xo where the jungle leader Balam is overlooking all the animals in his kingdom before settling on top of a pedestal. Meanwhile a group of young animals rush to the side of a river where their teacher, Amaya, is doing roll call when she realizes one of her students is missing from the group.

This is Nachi, a coati who is playing with a guava fruit like a soccer ball at his temple home and enjoying his game. He is about to eat his fruit when a butterfly named Xochi crashes into his tail, knocking both herself and the fruit out of Nachi's grip. Nachi and Xochi end up talking about themselves and family to which Nachi replies that he doesn't have or nor need one as he is an orphan and managed to teach himself how to survive and thrive with nobody by his side. Xochi challenges Nachi to a race after threatening to expose his home inside an abandoned temple and he goes across the treetops and eventually arrives to the waterfall area where Amaya and her class are gathered just as Balam comes by on a stroll.

Xochi mocks him for being unable to reach her from a branch, but Nachi spots a vine and uses it to try and grab her but just as he is about to try and touch her the vine breaks and he falls into the rushing river as Xochi leaves to continue her migration. Nachi is swept up by the current and is about to crash into sharp rocks as Amaya cries out to him before Balam arrives and grabs Nachi, pulling him out of the water and carrying him to dry land as other animals watch. Balam scolds Nachi for being reckless and the parents of the class claim that Nachi is a bad influence on the younger cubs who admire him as an idol due to how cool they think he is. Balam tells Nachi that if he wants to be accepted and cared, he had to make it so like Balam did when he was a cub but Nachi states that nobody cares about him as he is the trouble maker. Balam gives him some advice by saying that the best way he wanted others to care about him was for him to care for others. Balam then leaves before proclaiming Nachi's actions as a brave attempt to save a butterfly, leaving the coati admired by jaguar's actions.

Pako, the glass frog in the glass, and the one who is often bullied and is unable to consel any emotions, tells Nachi how much he admires him, but Nachi pushes Pako aside and leaves the frog all by himself with a broken heart. Amaya talks to Nachi about what had happened and Nachi leaves to be by himself, claiming that he doesn't want to fit in. Pako attempts to fallow Nachi, claiming to want to be 'alone together' only to accidently jump into animal dung as the other classmates laugh at his misfortune. Amaya thanks Balam for saving her student but when they notice birds fly off due to another small earthquake, they suspect something is wrong and Balam orders an emergency meeting.

The meeting has all the animals gathered around with Amaya and a monkey named Whiskers posing as his advisers before the coral snake Zaina arrives and brags about how beautiful and shiny her brand new scales are before Balam silences her with a roar so they can focus on the more serious matters. Balam then decides to summon the 102-year-old jungle mystic and shaman Cocopa, an armadillo with extraordinary powers, for his guidance and Cocopa gives the animals vision, telling them that something big is coming, bigger then anything they've ever seen. After contacting the spirits, Cocopa fortells that there will be chaos, fear and destruction but there will be hope and that everything must die to be truly reborn. As Cocopa claims that the time has come, the armadillo vanishes, and Zaina dismisses him as nonsense while Balam claims that he meant that something is coming their way and that they must prepair.

As Balam and Zaina argue about moving to a new habitat, a huge earthquake strikes Xo and the animals panics. Balam orders his advisers to make sure the young and weak are safe as they can find and gather them all in a clear place. Whiskers goes to help the primates, Amaya saves a nest fill of baby birds and when Pako falls, Nachi catches him and they find their classmates hiding in the plants. Nachi carries them on his back before he hands them over to the other animals escaping in a group and Balam congratulates Nachi before the coati joins him and the other animals to the safe spot. Balam realizes a Ocelot cub has fallen into a fissure and goes to save him, managing to do so before his tail is caught. Balam manages to save himself from a fallen pillar but fails to realize he is under a fallen tree until it's too late and he is crushed by two fallen trees as the animals look on in horror.

Nachi is left dumbstruck by what had happened and with the orders of Amaya and Whiskers, the animals work together to get the jaguar out. Soon Balam is freed but he only has a few seconds of life left in him before he dies at the paws of concerned cubs and his advisers. As it begins to rain, the animals mourn for their beloved monarch and Nachi leaves, just as heartbroken as the others while Zaina is in secret delight. That night, everyone gathers to attend Balam's funeral with Cocopa covering the grave with magical marigolds before he blows golden dust and everyone watches as a golden image of a jaguar gives them a mighty roar before descending to the heavens. After the ceremony, everyone leaves but Nachi stays behind to look up at the stars.

The next morning everyone gathers at the meeting area, now a wreck and with the water supply cut off thanks for the earthquake and as Amaya and Whiskers try to ease everyone's worries, Zaina arrives, this time with a giant anaconda named Jithu and a group of red eyed black snakes known as the Snake Quad. With Jithu secretly helping her, Zaina wins over the crowd even when Nachi speaks out and tries to remind everyone of Balam's words and that Xo is their home. The Quad prevent Amaya and Whiskers from helping the coati and Pako is too scared to speak as Zaina convinces the animals to go to a place south, to 'Not-Xo-land' which promises to be better and more prosperous then Xo ever could be.

Upset, Nachi runs away to sulk in his temple home and Amaya and Pako fallow him. They find him brooding behind a pillar and Amaya manages convince Nachi to show him why he is concerned with the move. The coati reveals that he discovered an ancient painting depicting a giant tree, the sun and moon and animals on the bottom. Among the animals are a family of coati and Nachi states that he wasn't the only coati and that they were possibly his family. Nachi then asks what would happen if he does leave and the coatis finally come back, missing his chance to find his family. Pako incorrectly guesses that Nachi lives in the temple because of the artwork and Nachi leaves in annoyance. Amaya tells Nachi that she loves him as if he was her own son and give him some advice. Before he makes a final decision, Nachi must try to summon Cocopa for guidance by calling to him. After making Nachi promise, they hug each other and Amaya leaves.

That night Pako eats a fly which he believes is a sign by Cocopa but Nachi shrugs it off as coincidence. Nachi tries to call out to Cocopa on what to do but is kept interrupted by Pako and the annoyed coati gives up before going to bed Pako tries to stay up all night to wait for Cocopa but falls asleep. Before Nachi goes to sleep himself, he asks Cocopa where he can find his family and goes to sleep. During the night, Cocopa uses his magic to take Nachi to a dream like landscape where he tells the Coati that he must find 'The Mouth that Does not Speak' along with 'The Tree of Life' and tells him to beware the 'Lake of Fire', something that Nachi does not understand but Cocopa tells him that he will and to trust himself.

In the morning as the other animals pack up for the journey to 'Not-Xo-Land', Nachi excitingly tells Amaya about Cocopa and his journey and Amaya is against it, stating that she wants to go with him but Nachi convinces her otherwise as if she leaves then the younger animals won't have anyone to protect them. Pako proclaims himself as a travel buddy and Amaya agrees to it. Nachi is against this but Pako ends up coming with him anyway but stops briefly to talk to his mother and share a goodbye kiss with her before leaving with Nachi, who watches the animals gather to watch Zaina begin the journey. Zaina spies Nachi and Pako going the opposite direction and orders Jithu to track them down and kill them if he has too to prevent the animals from realizing that they don't need her. Zaina then orders the other animals to march to begin their journey and everyone leaves.

As Pako and Nachi's journey takes them to a place far from familiar territory, Nachi once again runs into Xochi, who crash lands and Pako blabs about their mission. Still on her immigrational path, Xochi gives the boys shelter in the form of a tree grown over a steep cliffside with the other side separated by a wide gap, mistaking it for the tree of life. That night as they sleep, Nachi awakens to the sound of hissing. He and Pako are then confronted by the Snake Squad and Jithu who tells them they won't go anywhere else. Nachi punches Jithu in the face and the anaconda orders the squad to capture them. With help from Nachi's super stretchable tail and Pako's long tongue, Pako and Nachi manage to slingshot themselves across to the other side as Jithu looks on from the other side.

Pako and Nachi cheer about having been able to escape and brag about their victory and their nickames 'Super Tongue and Super Tail' which results in the pair laughing as the sun rises and when Pako asks if they could be brothers, Nachi replies that he dosn't have a family and leaves. Pako believes Nachi still won't accept him but Nachi comes back for Pako, calling him Super Tongue which cheers him up and they continue the journey. Meanwhile Zaina is being carried by two crocodiles while the others are forced to march on their own feet, which leave the animals very exhausted and when Whiskers and Amaya call out how tired the others are, Zaina only gives them little time to rest before they press onward.

Back with Nachi and Pako, they finally arrive at the real tree of life which was drawn in the temple and begin to climb it. While they climb higher and higher they discover many branches have many levels with beautiful waterfalls, temples, fossils from the prehistoric past and more. After Pako gets bird poop on him and calls it a sign of good luck from the macaws, Nachi gets sick and throws up over the edge and does so again when he sees Pako still covered in the goop. When they arrive at a level with many kinds of fruits, Pako decides to devour every fruit he can find due to how hungry he is while Nachi settles on Dragon fruits to eat.

When they fall into what seems to be a living cavern of thorns and plants, Pako eats a poisonous mushroom and begins to suffer the side effects. Nachi realizes something is wrong when Pako cannot move anymore and manages to save Pako's life by getting him to cough up the pieces of mushroom he ate before the frog dies. Once Pako recovers, Nachi finally admits that rather then leave the cavern himself, he had someoneone more important to take care of. Pako is overjoyed by being called 'important' and helps Nachi find another way out of the cavern, even though they both get covered in disgusting green slime. As they make their way to the very last level of the tall tree, both Nachi and Pako discover some blue eye stalks that give them the final boost they need up to the very top of the tree.

This view gives them the ability to see a smoking mountain and they discover a jaribu bird named Calli who is doing Yoga, claiming to try and find himself. After exchanging words, Nachi learns that the mountain is the cause of the earthquake and wanting to see it up close to see if it's the mouth that does not speak, Nachi convinces Calli to let him and Pako fly on his back to take a closer look.

Nachi, Pako and Calli fly over the volcano, discovering the lake of fire which is rising and soon Xochi comes to greet them as her migration has taken her to a little island just at the base of the volcano, which she wants to stop. Upon realizing the butterflies are in danger, and with help from Calli's furious outburst, the group manage to save thousands of the monarch butterflies before the hot lava consumes the island by taking them to the tree but hundreds of butterflies who were unable to make it parish along with the island. Xochi is left heartbroken as are the other surviving butterflies who are now homeless.

That night Nachi and Pako talk about what to do next and when Nachi believes their quest was a mistake and with time running out he suggests going back to Zaina. Pako reminds him that she almost got them killed and Nachi says that maybe apologizing will change her mind and let them back in the heard. Xochi scolds him for giving up quickly and Pako comments on how far they've come and when Pako disgribes Zaina, Xochi realizes that she saw the same snake taking a bunch of animals towards the Fire Mountain. Nachi then realizes that Zaina's path to 'No Xo Land' is taking the animals towards their demise, not away from it.

Upon realizing the serious danger the other animals are in, Nachi and the other convince Calli, whom Nachi inspires by telling him to lose himself to find himself, to fly again. As Zaina selfishly drinks a small puddle of water and is calls out on it by Amaya, everyone is surprised when Nachi arrives with his friends, alive and unharmed. Amaya is relieved that her student is safe and embraces him before Nachi tells them about what he discovered only to be dismissed as he has no solid proof of the danger other then the words of his friends, which causes them to fly away to form another plan. Zaina then decides to take out Nachi herself to finally get rid of the one obstacle standing in her way.

That night Nachi asks Cocopa how to save everyone and the armadillo arrives. Cocopa tells him that he has two questions and only one answer to both. Nachi is left confused as the shaman leaves and still depressed before he runs into an axolotl named XuXu who takes him to the opening of a cenote where Nachi realizes that the mouth like entrance was the 'Mouth that Does not Speak' that Cocopa had been talking about all along. Nachi thanks the little Axolotl for her help and leaves to tell everyone. However, as the volcano erupts, Nachi is confronted by Zaina and Jithu. Zaina sends Jithu to gather the animals but to leave the weak and old behind. Nachi is disgusted by Zaina's actions and calls her evil.

As they talk Pako, Xochi and Calli overhear their conversation and Nachi tell the group to get the animals to safety. Pako and the others do so and the animals all hide inside the cenote. Jithu turns his back on Zaina and leaves her to fight Nachi all by herself. At first Jithu tries to leave due to being a coward but Pako convinces him to go back after witness the snake Squad become crushed by a burning tree.

Nachi and Zaina put up a battle as the animals head inside the cenote before Zaina manages to knock Nachi out of a tree and attempts to squeeze him to death. Amaya goes to face Zaina to save him, but the coral snake whips her to the ground with her tail, freeing Nachi long enough for him to escape and goes to help Amaya. After helping her back on her feet, Nachi tells Zaina that she'll never be a leader because she doesn't care about others and as a result the animals don't care about her. Zaina tells Nachi that he has always been alone but Nachi tells her that he had always had a family, a family of those he cares for with all his heart.

Zaina goes to kill Nachi but he is saved by Pako who uses his 'super tongue' to pull him to the opening of the cenote. Then both Nachi and Pako use the frog's long tongue to slingshot Zaina into the air and right into Calli's grip as he flies away while Nachi and Pako join the others who seal the entrance of the cenote to prevent the lava from getting in. Calli, left stranded outside, drops Zaina onto a cactus and she hopes around in pain and cries about her damaged skin to a flying eagle before the scene fades to black.

After a long time of waiting out the disaster, the animals finally reopen the cenote entrance to find a barren wasteland created by the lava. Calli flies back to his friends who are glad that he is alright and that they managed to survive the ordeal with the other animals. Nachi discovers a plant growing from the ashes and everyone looks on to see the tree of life and it's golden seeds flying across the air, symbolizing rebirth and a better future for everyone.

Nachi returns to his temple and draws a picture of himself and his three friends together on the mural before Cocopa asks him if he has found the answer to his question. Nachi replies that he went to search for his family and discovered that he had always had one all along. Outside the temple the Jungle of Xo has evolved to have coati tail like structures all over the jungle and everyone is enjoying life in the blooming and reviving landscape with Amaya as the new leader and Jithu enjoying his new lifestyle with Nachi enjoying his time doing Yoga with his friends and playing with his classmates.

Unknown to everyone Zaina, having survived her ordeal, watches from the edge of the jungle with an evil smile on her face, possibly plotting revenge.
