The Road to El Dorado
After a failed swindle, two con-men end up with a map to El Dorado, the fabled "city of gold," and an unintended trip to the New World. Much to their surprise, the map does lead the pair to the mythical city, where the startled inhabitants promptly begin to worship them as gods. The only question is, do they take the worshipful natives for all they're worth, or is there a bit more to El Dorado than riches?

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
El Dorado isn't going to tug at your heart strings, but I thought the film was very entertaining from beginning to end. Migel and Tulio are unique characters and very lovable. I also liked the inclusion of some more adult themes, like the relationship between Tulio and Chel. The animation is great, very fluid with the inclusion of some computer graphic elements. I wish more animated films now-a-days had that kind of animation. The soundtrack is also very good. The musical numbers weren't especially memorable, but they didn't detract from the story and the instrumental music by Hans Zimmer and John Powell is fantastic. Overall, I would say The Road to El Dorado is a very underrated film.
This was an OK movie. There are some issues with it though. There are quite a few adult themes that kind of ruin the children's movie feel. The movie did not have to have an oral sex scene. Also, the music was a bit lacking. I know that most people feel like this movie was good, but truly it was mediocre. This is not Dreamworks' best movie, and is over-rated as much as it is under-rated. There were some historical errors. The characters were also an issue. They had no real moral, or any way to make you like them. The horse was the best character. Overall, this movie was not all that good. Dreamworks stepped it up later, and for that I am thankful.
This movie is quite impressive with the animation, use of color and cast of characters. It's bright, delightful and humorous. Even though the plot is pretty basic in it's dramaturgy, it's still fully enjoyable.It might not be considered a kids movie (At least not under the age of 10) because of the sexual innuendos, and mild violence (scenes with blood etc.) But it might as well appeal to them seeing how Dreamworks wanted to give it captive bright colors and Disney-like animation style.The characters though, have hints of stereotypical personalities which almost seems forced to fit the plot. But the way they're portrayed with appearance and how they interact with the rest of the characters, makes up for it. Because the characters tends to have a stereotypical approach, their actions can be anticipated which helps to build up the plot, even if it's a tad bit obvious at times. I really enjoy the characters Tulio and Miguel however. This red and blue duo gives the movie a comedic touch which is fun to watch.The musical pieces all have a nice touch of atmosphere in them. It describes the present plot and co-operates effectively with the feeling of the scene it appears in.Looking at it as a whole, it's a fantastic movie which still makes people laugh, and with it's great set of characters and music it can still entertain people as much as it did when it first came out. I recommend this to any classic 2D fans!
There are many movies that you feel very good watching. This tops that list for me. The colors and the witty dialogues are a treat right from the opening song. Forget what the critics say about the movie, its the ride that you will cherish. And this movie will put you in the front seat! The movie is filled with songs, which is great for any animated film in my opinion.With memorable characters, smooth plot, music that makes you wanna sing along, and above all the animation that just hooks you to the screen is worth every minute of it. Unfortunate that this kind of movies are not coming these days.
