I appreciate Elliott and Rossio’s themes of devoted friendship, understanding cultures, learning lessons, forgetting wealth, and standing up for the common man. They set the film during the time of the Spanish conquistador Cortes for frightening results, while affectionately portraying native people as kind, welcoming humans with complex culture and rich history. They tell the story of two Spaniard con artists who embark upon an unlikely adventure to search for the lost city of gold: El Dorado. I still laugh along to writers Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio’s hilarious jokes. The water crashing around and vivid colors look particularly wonderful in The Road to El Dorado.ĭisney obviously covered this territory before, but Dreamworks’ The Road to El Dorado remains a childhood favorite of mine that truly held up. The motion of characters flailing about is so smooth and their linework looks pristine.
It was unfairly panned by critics and ignored by audiences largely, which is ridiculous as Dreamworks’ animation is excellent.
The Road to El Dorado remains one of Dreamworks’ greatest pictures and displays of hand drawn animation. They let scenes play out emotionally with genuine drama and sincere tenderness towards their characters.
Bibo and Don’s direction is remarkably swift with a succinct 89 minute run-time thanks to Vicki Hiatt’s creative cuts and pertinent editing. A top tier animated film from Dreamworks!īibo Bergeron and Don Paul’s animated adventure comedy The Road to El Dorado (2000) celebrates native culture, history, adventure, love, and above all, friendship in an entertaining odyssey.
