Does anyone else think the 2 big ant eaters going into the bush ,0:50 shaking it around, and 5 little ones popping out is supposed to mean something?
I absolutely love this movie, the art style, animation, music and songs, it doesn't make any sense how such a work of art plummeted to become a box office bomb, shame... : [
@maximusdarkultima Agreed, in my opinion this was Dreamworks best hand drawn animated film. Would have loved to see Tulio, Migel, Chel and Altivo discover Florida or another part of the New world.
@freedomacy Hmm, actually dude you are correct, but their styling had always been similar.. i think i got confused as i think they've collaborated in the past or had same animators .... its so hard to keep track of major corporations LOL
i love this song and i love the movie, too. i just finished watching it :) today in class i was singing this song and travis (the kid who sits next to me) kept looking at me with a strange look on his face.
@IranicanKid727 I always thought it was a mesoamerican people but not aztec, mayan, incan etc. However I can't say for sure I would like to say mayan but I think I would say that I would get a big head :P
I love this song so muck so epic so catchy love it love the movie dont want to mis a thing its a good thing I have this movie love it thanks for posting!
I used to constantly rewind my VCR just to watch this part. I was fascinated with the part where the gold temples began stacking up out of nowhere. Great song, I still enjoy listening to it.
This movie is actually amazing. I watched it for the first time in like 3 or 4 years last night, and remembered how utterly awesome it is. And the soundtrack is so effing good. I was humming this song while I was at work!
i remember the first time i ever saw this film, sat in my parents bed with my brother in the middle of the day, and we rewound the begining over and over and over again until we could sing every single word of the intro before we saw one minute of the actual film lol, i loved this film
God, just the opening instrumental section gave me goosebumps...I always got so psyched to watch this movie as a kid, I loved it. Couldn't get enough of it. (Miguel was always my favorite).
A Glorious City!! Was built by the divinities... By Gods! Who saw fit...to bestow... The gift of a paradise!! Peaceful and harmonious..upon Us meer mortals... below... And made El Dorado The magnificent! And Golden! 1000 years ago!! El Dorado!!! El Dorado !! El DoraaaaAaaaaAaaaadooooooo!!!!
English speaking people comment about video, spanish speaking people only discuss because the version (latin-american or european), or because history or politics
Makes me angry that the "soundtrack" doesn't have any of the actual tracks from the movie, it's basically an Elton John album instead of a soundtrack. x.x Don't get me wrong, it sounds great, but not if you wanna hear the movie version...
But this is the movie version , if you look it up on limewire , the longer 5 minute version or 4 minites , it doesnt have as much background vocals , or the spanish guitar in the intro . :^)
Elton John makes magic!!You should also listent to this in mexican spanish. All the translation is fantastic!! ( And that´s not because im mexican) Try it!
yes, yes i do. i mean, i like CG and all, but seriously people use i WAAAY too much and it's just starting to become annoying. i miss traditional animatino
Dude, this is like, one of the BEST movies ever made! Tulio has always been my favorite. Don't you think it's neat how Miguel and Tulio can con people without even talking about the con.? I can't find this at any store, I want to get it SO bad!
omg, i was babysitting (im a guy but i like kids in a good way, im not a pedophile or a gay guy) and i saw they had this movie, and i was like "oh hey, i love this moveie. you guys wanna watch it?" and the kids were like" no thank you, we wanna watch wall E!" and i was like "NO WALL E, EL DORADO!!!!!!!!" AND THEY WERE LIKE........ ok....... And i laughed and laughed and watched wallE with em just to be nice ;)
That's a funny story. It makes me cry now that only the CGI stuff is around nowadays, and that Dreamworks only makes the Shrek movies. I'd love it if they returned to making 2D movies too; this and The Prince of Egypt were AMAZING.
Me too!!! I used to know every word!!! This movie is NEVER gonna die....I brought it the first time I babysat my cousins...they didn't want to watch it. But, I made them, and they LOVED IT!!! I showed them.
Omg my mom got me this when I was little I loved it so much!
