Editorial Review: Amazon.com: In its third foray into animated features, DreamWorks came up with something unfortunate: the routine animated picture. Plagued with production problems (it was originally conceived as a mold-breaking PG-13 adventure), the likable film is a Hope/Crosby-style road picture about two scalawags who stumble upon the Latin American paradise of El Dorado, the mythical city with riches of gold. Kenneth Branagh and Kevin Kline are quite fun as Miguel and Tuilo, two Spanish con artists who are shipwrecked in the New World with a scene-stealing horse. The pair follow a map to the secret city where their loyalty will be tested: do they return home rich men or continue to live in this paradise? Of course there are some obstacles: a high priest (Armand Assante) is locked in a power struggle with the benevolent chief (Edward James Olmos) and the perfunctory girlfriend (Rosie Perez) puts the two friends at odds. Like too many of the animated features of its time, The Road to El Dorado impresses only on a visual level (it's drenched in gorgeous greens and golds). The story and Elton John's songs are quite forgettable; only Branagh and Kline's playful banter keeps the film alive. The PG rating is for some bare backsides and a suggestion of off-screen sex that should soar right over the little ones' heads. Slick and light, it's a fine 83-minute entertainment for ages 5 and up, including the nondiscriminating adult. --Doug Thomas Average Rating:
 Rating:  - fantastic moviethis was one of the most delightful dvds I have seen in a long time. great music,special effects,and story. Rating: - Never a Dull MomentThis film is incredibly fun. The over-the-top expressions and gestures, the striking character designs, the bright colors, the lovable characters, and the fabulous voice actors weave a fantastic tale that never drops interest for a moment. What separates this movie from the pack is its snappy dialogue, which flows effortlessly and brings a laugh a minute. The excellent voice acting, combined with the overly dramatic gestures and sharp facial expressions, bring the characters to life ...

Kevin Kline and Kenneth Branagh make the two main characters, Tulio and Miguel, into two of the funniest and most naturally likeable partners-in-crime you'll ever see, animated film or otherwise. It's obvious from their performances that they had a great time making this film, and that enhances every single scene immensely. I first saw this film when it came out - I was 17. I'm now 25 and my affection ... Read More Rating: - The Road to El DoradoExcellent action, fun movie for the entire family. My 2 yr old grand daugher to 7 yr old grand son LOVED it. We, grandparents even enjoyed it. Rating: - Great fun, visually beautiful, and a kid's introduction to Mayan cultureWow, I wouldn't add another review of this movie except that some of the posted ones are sooo bizarre! We first rented this movie when my daughter was maybe 5 and loved it. There are several sequences where the color and animation are just stunning, and the buddy-movie plot in a historical setting is very funny and (somewhat) educational at the same time. The story involves two Spanish con-artists, Tulio and Miguel, who are accidental stowaways on Cortez' ship and end up in El Dorado, where ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
