%%* CoolUncle * CoolUncle: Machete is a gruff GadgeteerGenius. While he tells the kids that he's not helping rescue their parents, he does show them around his workshop, gives them a place to stay and a meal, while brushing off Carmen's assertions that he ''does'' care more about family than about money. There is also him coming in the climax to rescue his family.



%%* CoolUncle

to:

%%* CoolUncle* CoolUncle: Even though Felix isn't their uncle, he does act like one. He comes to babysit the kids with grocery bags full of caramel corn, and lets them stay up late to watch movies on a school night. It's no surprise the kids adore him and are distressed when the Thumb-Thumbs capture him.
