The Princess and the Warrior / La Princesa y el Guerrero

Yoto Says: A charming iteration of a Mexican folktale about love and commitment. Una magnífica versión de la popular leyenda mexicana sobre el amor y el compromiso.

Izta was the most beautiful princess in the land, and suitors traveled from far and wide to woo her. She fell in love with Popoca, a brave warrior who fought in her father’s army—and a man who did not offer her riches but a promise to stay by her side forever. The emperor did not want his daughter to marry a mere warrior, but he offered Popoca a deal: If the warrior could defeat their enemy, Jaguar Claw, then the emperor would permit Popoca and Izta to wed. But Jaguar Claw had a plan to thwart the warrior. Would all be lost?
