Hope u enjoy the movie!

Summary: Not a very mature film....
Review: ...and not that interesting at all. It's beautifully visualized, but visuals do NOT make a story. This film's lack of strong characters and weak narrative become more and more apparent as the visuals try and one up each other scene after scene in hopes of diverting the audiences attention away from the LACK OF A STORY! Katzemburg should be plenty embarassed by this expensive mess. Making mature animated films has NOTHING to do with putting tits and ass in the film. And enough with the fart jokes. As if Antz wasn't juvenile enough, ElDorado takes junior high humour to new lows.

Summary: Fun and enjoyable!
Review: This was a really fun movie. Dreamworks really did a great job with it. The plot was one that any age can enjoy, as was the humor (my mom gave off her fair share of laughs, and she doesn't even like cartoons). That's not to say that there was no drama, though. There was a perfect blend of witty-humor and action. The lead charecters, Miguel and Tulio, were great. They were highly realistic in how they spoke and acted. They were well drawn, too. The animation for El Dorado was amazingly detailed. And the songs, well, what else? They were great! I especially liked the one Miguel and Tulio sang about being gods. I hope Dreamworks hires Elton John for another movie sometime.

Summary: Road to El Dorado Rocks!
Review: The Road to El Dorado is great. I just saw it today. But if you get sick of a native americian movie, you won't like it.Kevin Kline and Ken Brannaugh play Tulio and Miguel and Rosie Perez is Chel. Armand Assante is Tzekel Kan and Edward James Olmos is the Chief. Frank Welker is Altivo and Jim Cummings is Hernan Cortes.

Summary: A Great Movie
Review: This is one of the greatest animated movies ever made. It's really gonna show you cartoons are not just for kids, this is an adult movie, so it should be treated like one. Just see it, I'm sure you'll like it.

Summary: This is Not A Child's Movie
Review: There are loads of underlying adult themes even though the overall moral of the story is excellent for children to learn about. There is a sexual scene, though not graphic, but I wouldn't want my children seeing it, especially in the light that it is portrayed in. There are scenes of drunken partying, the resulting hangover, and other tiny stuff like that.But do make a note of this: the movie is an excellent movie! It is hilarious, and is one of the rare cartoons that you can really dissect and discuss as if it were literature. The animation is excellent; I've never seen a cartoon so accurately portray human facial and body expression like this movie. You will appreciate how much detail is given to the animation, plot, and to the unity of the entire film: everything is explained. It's a definite must for your collection, but again, I would not recommend it for any child under 11.

Summary: My kids liked it but ...
Review: I took my kids to see it and they liked it. They had also liked Cats Don't Dance which I hated but found superior to this film.
Other than some dazzling visual effects, this movie was painful to watch. The movie was flawed. It looked like it only took them a day to get from Spain to South America. Tulio and Miguel swindle a treasure map and then end up on the same boat with their victims. How come the map is not taken back from them when they are imprisioned? How do they happen to wind up in the exact starting point of the map when they land? Whatever happened to the guy that originally drew the map? How do Miguel and Tulio make a volcano erupt and then stop? (It wasn't clear if it was the Shaman that made this happen).
I thought Cortez went to Mexico. What is he doing in South America.
The street-wise Rosie Perez character with her Bronx lingo accent was totally out of place as a Mayan girl.
This had probably the worst Elton John Music I ever heard. As soon as I left the theater the music was quickly forgotten. The movie didn't even have a catchy closing tune.
If you need to take the kids to this one, pay a baby-sitter to take them.

Summary: I WANT A SEQUEL!
Review: DreamWorks did a great job on The Road to El Dorado. The cartoon plays like an old Bob Hope Bing Crosby Road comedy. The story follows two con men on their quest to the legendary El Dorado City of gold. Through a series of hilarious mishaps, they find the city and become worshiped by the people. Helping them in on the con is Chel, an attractive native who wants to go to Spain with our duo. In the end they do the right thing and protect the city but lose the gold.
Road to El Dorado is a little more adult than most animated movies, but that's a good thing. American animation really needs to grow up if hand drawn animation is to survive in a world where computer animated characters are becoming the norm. Hand drawn animation needs more stories like this, not less. Japanese animation is full of adult situations, and violence. The Simpsons and Family Guy can depict adult situations, on TV then why not a feature length movie.
The music is great, the hand drawn animation and CGI blend beautifully and Elton John and Tim Rice's songs are perfect. Kenneth Branagh and Kevin Kline have great chemistry in their voice-over performances, perhaps they could do a live action "Road". Rosie Perez is great as Chel I really wish Road to El Dorado did better at the box office the ending had me wanting a sequel. I want to see Miguel, Tulio, Chel and Altivo the horse on their return journey to the city of gold.
Hear me Dream Works! I want a sequel.

Summary: I am quite surprised that this movie didn't do better
Review: This movie is one of the favorites of my 7-year-old son. Kelvin Kline and KenNeth Branagh play Tulio and Miguel who are Spanish con-artists who come across the map to the treasure of El Dorado. Together, they go out on an adventure much like Bing Cosby and Bob Hope.
There is a lot to see in this movie. The value of friendship is what stands out the most, but there are other things
The movie is funny, especially the constant bickering between Tulio and Miguel. Even funny is the horse, Altivo, who does not have a line but has some of the greatest reactions to the events unfolding before him.
This movie has some great music by Elton John that both my son and I enjoy. This would be a good soundtrack to pick up.
