Child me had to sit there with my parents and act oblivious to all the grown jokes but this movie genuinely entertained me and I had the script down
Lol right
Him with those rolled up pants was really trying it. 😏
@@LakiaJaiTV React to Brother Bear (2003) PLEASE!!
I stand by the idea that Chel, Tulio and Miguel end up as a throuple.
I STAND WITH YOU!!
yessss so real
This is the correct answer
In the Aztec Empire, gold was so plentiful in the areas they lived that it was practically worthless to them.
same thing in the incan empire, gold was used in religous ceremonies and it didn't really have value because there was gold litteraly everywhere
It was often used for ritual purposes, because it was easy to mold, which also means, it can't be used for much else but Jewelry and Coins. You can't make weapons out of it or Armor. It is nice and shiny and non corrosive, so it could be thrown into lakes for instance for the cornoation of "El hombre Dorado" the leader of a specific tribe. The problem is, when the spaniard came _they_ thought "Well, Gold is valuable where _I_ come from, so it must be valuable everywhere, ergo, if these people have enough gold to make earings and children tos out of it, there must be so much _more_ gold stashed away somewhere!"
This is kind of how the legend of "El Dorado got started. Even when they did find gold it was never _enough_ gold, because the idea was that the stash would so massive as to overshadow _everything_
@@saiyasha848 "non corrosive" The resilience of gold was why it was able to retain it's use as a primary storage of value for so long. Unlike something like crystals, gold is not a structure but instead a pure element. A lot of elements in their pure form are very reactive. Metals like alkaline metals in pure form will literally explode if they touch water. But gold is remarkably nonreactive, not being corrosive, prone to oxidation, or any other typical chemical processes. It's non toxic, uniquely colored, and shiny. Being resilient is important because a storage of value is meant to stay the same as long as possible. It being unique in color and heavy in weight also meant it was hard to fake. The only metal that can even compete with gold as a store of value is platnum.
People say gold didn't have much of a practical use, but the truth is gold was incredibly practical in a developed financial system as a store of value. So it really WAS valuable everywhere they went. The native americans simply haven't developed that far economically and were still bartering so they simply didn't unlock the true value of gold yet. But when the Europeans invaded gold was immediately valuable because they brought their economic culture with them. That's why the gold rush was such a big deal, it's not like the Europeans came over and went "oh, gold isn't valuable here, guess it's not worth much." Sort of like how crude oil wasn't valuable until the engine.
Now that the world is moving off the "gold standard", the best store of value currently is land. If you want to make sure your wealth isn't lost in inflation, taxes, and so on, investing in property is a very sensible option. Unfortunately unlike gold, property is firstly a bit inaccessible as an investment for a person of average wealth and secondly property rights bets on the current government not collapsing which would take the property rights down with it. This is why people who don't trust our government will still invest in gold to this day. You might think crude oil is a good investment too, but it's really not because unlike gold it's unpleasant to store it in your living area so you already need to be a property investor to become a crude oil hoarder. And that's also betting that oil retains it's value as electric engines continue to advance, which doesn't seem like a great bet.
"there must be so much more gold stashed away somewhere!"
I think the literal myth of El Dorado was because the natives kept referring to the "golden one" which was a famous rich person who covered themselves in gold, and wasn't actually a place. But due to a language barrier and misinformation the Spaniards thought the "golden one" may be a city of gold.
On the trail we blaze!!! This movie literally calls to my spirit and the soundtrack is amazing.
Right Elton John ate🤌🏾
"my crew was chosen as carefully as the disciples of Christ.."
no pause: "i don't think so" hahahah facts.
such an underrated classic though!
the old dreamworks & disney will always reign supreme!
I mean, Judas much. Man did not read his Bible that well.
When the Spanish conquistadors invaded, in some cases, the natives thought they were gods because of their use of metal to form weapons. The Spanish ended up creating mass genocide when the natives did not convert to Christianity, which is hinted at when Miguel and Tulio stowaway on the ship to South America.
The ball game they play can be seen throughout ancient Aztec and Incan civilizations. The loser gets sacrificed by the gods in cenotes, which are caverns that become flooded after years. People nowadays swim in them.
Thank you for sharing🙌🏼
I'm Peruvian and I didn't know about that practice 😂
Actually were not sure if they sacrificed the losers because the ones who played were highly trained players and it was a game played way too often for them to have the time to train new players. This game was supposed to help the sun to stay in movement (the sun being represented by the ball)
Hi, Mexican daughter of a historian here (specialist in mezoamerican cultures), just a few corrections!
1. Yes, there were cases of native cultures confusing the Spanish with gods. I'd just add that it was also because of their use of tamed horses and the color of their skin.
2. The genocide was before the efforts of conversion. The first step was to conquer in a military sense, take control of the population, and that was when they killed everyone that tried to stand up to them/soldiers/leaders/priests/etc. The next step was colonizing, AKA conquering in a cultural sense. It was only after the fighting ended that Spanish monks started the effort to convert the population as a way of "educating" them. They were very successful. The population of Mexico (especially those who live in secluded towns) is very catholic.
3. Yes, the ball game was very popular throughout civilizations. The term I'd use for the civilizations tho would be "mezoamerican", meaning those from the center of the American continent. This includes cultures such as the Aztec, Mayan, Olmec, etc. (I'm not sure about the Incans having ball game, it's a south American culture so I don't know anything about it.)
4. Cenotes are only found in southeast Mexico (and a bit of the surrounding area, the Yucatan peninsula and south of it in general). So neither the Aztec or the Incan civilizations had access to them.
5. We have no record of cenotes being used for sacrifice. The remains found in them come from tombs or accidental drownings.
6. Neither the losers or the winners of the ball game were sacrificed anywhere, they were highly specialized players tasked with performing a ritual game to honor the gods. What we do have record of, however, is the sacrifice of the player's slaves. This depends on the civilizations, but in cultures that went to war, they brought back captives and kept them as slaves (the higher the status the better).
7. Cenotes aren't formed by the flooding of pre-existing caves. The ground of the Yucatan peninsula is all limestone, a very porous stone. What happens is that the whole underground of the peninsula is constantly flooded, ever since it rose up from the sea. We have underground canals which, through erosion, have developed into caves. When the cave gets big enough, it receives the name cenote. They then start to erode the ceiling too and sometimes they become completely open to the sky (that's how people swim in them). This same reason is why there aren't any rivers in the peninsula, the ground absorbs them, they're all underground!
(That was a lot lol)
@@luzelenaserrano1236 thank you for explaining. I’ve been taking archaeological classes in school and we were discussing theories. I think I might have gotten them mixed up in the process. I’ll definitely have to bring this up in my next class.
The whole "forget Miguel" part made me really upset; Miguel showed attraction to Chel first, and Tulio detered him because she was a co-conspirator and ended up being with her instead. It reminds me of what Dreamworks did in Sinbad. It really hurts to watch (though it did hurt more in Sinbad). And the fact that Chel was cool with kicking him out of the equation was pretty cold.
I think that part was completly misunderstood. Even as a child, it sounded like he was adding on Miguel to make it sound less weird or romancy when he asked Chell to go with them and then decided "You know what. Forget Miguel" as in "I want you to come with us" not forget Miguel as in forget him forget him. I hope that was understandable.
@@paige8453 That's a severe writing issue. Miguel and Tulio never even discuss it; Miguel just stays mad and plans to stay in El Dorado while Tulio and Chel leave, so it does feel like Tulio meant "leave Miguel behind" and just felt too guilty to lie or make excuses.
Ah my favorite (problematic) DreamWorks film!
From the development team, Chief never believed that Tulio and Miguel were Gods (and arguably neither did the citizens- hence the "smile, like you mean it" comment). It was mainly about there being a power play between the Chief and Tzelkel-Kan.
And at one point, it was gonna be revealed that the armadillo was the actual God but they scrapped that towards the end. The volcano scene is the only reference to that plot bit.
?? the aztects thought that the europeans were gods , it's a history fact
@@alexiacaceda1421 reread the comment ^
@@alexiacaceda1421 this isnt about the aztects but the movie
lmao how is this problematic? not having lawful good protags doesn't make a movie problematic
@@sincerelyzee521the movie was problematic because of the “spicy” moments
A favorite of mine for many, many years now. Kline and Branagh have incredible chemistry, the art is gorgeous, every song is a bop from Sir Elton, and Altivo is easily top 3 animated horses! The golden age of Dreamworks 2D really turned out some classics.
the tsukiyama clip at the beginning has no business being so funny 😭
Lol the Mans is extra
I swear this is the most underrated Elton john soundtrack which makes it my favorite. Each song is memorable and well written. A great soundtrack with a great movie.
I remember watching this movie, el Dorado was cool and also really funny to watch every now and then
Me too. I was 3 years old way back from my childhood.
@@nathancruz9172 oh really cool
i feel like i remember someone saying that the armadillo was the real god all along, if you watch it specifically you'll see it stop the volcano and play in the game (and probably other stuff too)
YES!! This show was my everything when I was younger I’m so happy to see you reacted to it and that you LIKED it!!
It was better than I expected 👌🏾
1:30 me too.
Chel, Miguel, and Tulio is my original childhood OT3.
this is literally my favourite underrated movie I'm so happy you're reacting to it! you should react to Sinbad next!!
I’ll put it on the list
Yeeeees!!!!!! Underrated gem with the same kind of vibe
I'm so glad you liked it! El Dorado and The Prince of Eygpt are by far my favorite dreamworks movies:)
Idk what nobody say it's a thruple and that's that 😗
It's for sure a thruple, and I love it.
Honestly, the ending always gives me a slight tinge of unease. Tzekel Khan was bloodthirsty, but in a way he was working in his existing religious System. And noone, _noone_ deserves to be caught by Cortez...
The holy trinity of Dreamworks is Prince of Egypt, El Dorado, and Sinbad
They unknowingly saved the armadillo from a snake when they were chopping through the jungle. That’s why he started following them. 🙂
the way that tulio established my taste in men lmao
Lol 😂
Me but with Miguel 😂😂
I know I'm in the minority but I liked the evil guy
I hope people realize that this is in fact not a made up world. This culture depicts indigenous Latin America
I have said this and I'll continue to say it again!! LAKIA YOUR HAIR IS SO BEAUTIFUL 😍😭🥰
Thank you ! 🥰
I have to say right here that Minions isn't Dreamworks, it's actually Illumination. I only point this out because I hate Minions with a passion and my girl Dreamworks doesn't deserve that. A low point of Dreamworks would be more like...Trolls.
Lol someone told me 😂
@@LakiaJaiTV girl you're technically right since DreamWorks got bought by Illumination.
Blergh. Agreed on both. Trolls is vile.
Trolls is better than Minions at least.
@@VERA-po4gl A low bar, but fair lol
Bro my entire family has this movie script down word for word. This is my siblings and I’s ultimate comfort movie. One time my brother asked me the very first words to this movie and I was like “today we sail to conquer a new world-“ and he was like “WRONG. It’s a subtitle that says 1915!” LMFAO bruh
I believe Miguel and Tulio may actually be Gods in the movie. They have incredible supernatural luck. The image on the rock does look similar to them. Then the volcano starts erupting when they panicked just to stop when he yelled stop. It's possible they might not know that they are avatars. Obviously this is open to interpretation as it could just be a bunch of coincidences. Though them being gods makes sense.
Hmm...🤔
OMG OMG!! I think I recommended this movie to you, THANK YOU FOR DOING IT! Tulio is my favorite fictional male of all time i'm in love, also my favorite DreamWorks movie
Thanks for the recommendation 🥰
I’ve watched this literally hundreds of times and I didn’t even notice Altivo mouthing El Dorado along with them omg
This was my FAV childhood movie
I see 😊
Me too.
Having a Bad day today this video is what I needed to lighting up my mood thank you ❤❤❤
🥰
Polyamory is not for everyone, but it is for Miguel, Tolio, and, Chel.
Chief knows Miguel isn't a real god. But he knows that his people believe Miguel is a real god, and that because of that he removed a lot of the crazy psycho high priests power and influence and that because of that and because he enjoys spending time with the regular people, Miguel has made the people of El Dorado happy. He also can tell that among man, MANY other things, Miguel is a good man. So that's why he's letting him stay even if it's under a lie.
It should be easy enough to explain why he's getting older even if he's a god (had he ended up staying), they'd just say that to put the people at ease, he was giving himself the appearance of a mortal man and so would age and change like them until he was ready to return to the other world in his actual godly form.
So I’m not seeing anybody saying this but Miguel and Tulio were supposedly supposed to be in a relationship at first but Dreamworks was too afraid of an overly critical audience not liking that and for other reasons they took it out of the movie and put in Chel as a love interest.
I also started searching through the comments for this!
Interesting 🤔
I thought it was just a theory, but that explains so much.
@@gabrielleduplessis7388 nope, there was an actual script for it and everything where they were a couple! also, they might've been married in it as well (not 100% certain on that part though)
And now they just seem like they’re polyamorous
Miguel is a premium Himbo. Pretty, loveable, dumb... Yup, he is the Himbo full house.
This is the original "This is my Boyfriend Tullio and this is Tullios Boyfriend Miguel" meme...
Huh I never watched this movie at all although I heard from others it’s really good so maybe I might give it a try.
Please do
My siblings and I quote that star line anytime we don't want to do something🤣🤣🤣 And that hair style is cute girl!😘😎
Chel, Tulio, and, Miguel forming the perfect polycule!! 🥰 We love to see it!
Fun fact: Tulio and Miguel were gonna be a couple but it got conned...for obvious reasons. There are some scenes still kind of in there if you look close enough like Tulio and Miguel reuniting briefly in the jungle, they were gonna kiss for a second, and there are some interactions between them that show that scrapped idea.
I love how in every single video you show a bible verse and comment on things from the biblical/ christian perspective 😍 God bless you for using this channel not only for entertainment but also for spreading the Gospel ✝️❤
I love your hair style btw !
Thank you 😊
The only reason I know about this film is cause of Chel & some AMV edits of her, Tulio & Miguel paired up with other characters. As a movie it was good. I did found out that earlier in drafts they were gonna make Tulio & Miguel gay lovers
all of your predictions are spot on 😂 I love your videos 💕
Your editing on this video is hilariously on point 💯
When Chel and Tulio are "kissing" you can notice that HER head is nowhere close HIS
Saw that recently on a tiktok, wanted to share ☠☠
Do you know what the video is
Oh my god cannot wait to see you see this!😄🙌🏻❤️
🥰
This was my childhood favorite movie ever!! watched it every friday after school. Love this move and this made me so happy to see you react to it.
oh lord, just found your channel and you got my sub within the first 2 mins. I love the edits and your humor!
hi i love your vids! when i was sick u made me feel better! ily!
Thank you 🥰
@@LakiaJaiTV :D
Yes!! So excited for this
LOVE THIS REACTION SO MUCH
Thank you 😊
GIRL YOU SHOULD WATCH SPIRIT IT'S SO GOOD
Loved the video!
When the music was playing I was dying 😂🤣😂🤣😂
Yes it is! (Haven’t seen the video yet just responding to the title)
Yes, this movie is very underrated! It's one of my favorite ones. It's so fun and funny.
your hair looks so cute btw
This and Sinbad show superior voice acting and flowing 2D animation compared to other works by DreamWorks. ♥️
Um...Prince of Egypt???
I love your hair 💗💗💗
Thank you 😊
Would you take a peek at the Barbie movies? 🤔 But not the newer ones. I think the first 4 or 5 were pretty solid for what they are.
i meant to say this the last time but your hair is stunning miss thing!!
This movie is great. El Dorado, El De-Rock-O.🤣 Dreamworld will never miss with their animation.
Miguel should have stayed. It would have been better that way cause people have this false idea that once your friends it’ll stay that way forever but it’s unrealistic. We have different goals and sometimes life takes you in different directions and that’s normal, it’s ok cause it means your growing and if anything you should be happy for that friend and not stop them from pursuing their personal growth. It is a kids movie so I get why they didn’t want them to depart but they needed to go their separate ways so they could grow.
I love this movie and the soundtrack!😍💜💜💜💜😊🥰
I know this isn't related to the movie but I had to tell you somehow apparently there's gonna be an enchanted sequel " Dischanted " I believe it's called there's even pictures of Amy Adams in the scenes or little snippets just wanted to let you know girll
11:55 "nooo..." lol
15:42 he meant that as the reason why he wants Chel to come.
Please do The Page Master. I'd say another underrated movie!
I could watch this movie over n over
There is a theory that the armadillo is an actual god and the volcano was actually because the armadillo was excited with the butterfly and the armadillo calmed down when Tulio yelled stop
1:21 Well I mean Disney has been doing 3d-2d animation since Great Mouse Detective. So It could be a mixture. No there are some mixtures of 3d In there. 1:24 Same. Kevin Kline Voices Tulio(The One with the black hair) Who voiced Phoebus in Disney’s Hunchback, This movie is by Dreamworks. 4:38 PHIL!❤
the fact that i watched this movie so many times in front of my family
You have to do John Smith next it was one of my favorites growing up and I think you'll like it too😊😊
Why does that scean when the guy gets crushed, reminds me of when that guy from helluva boss epsode spring broken got crushed too🤔😅
I remember watching this movie on repeat at my Aunts house. I love this movie to death
Man I just love this movie
I, too, scream-sing whenever I see this movie or clips from it. :D And yes, it is an example of Dreamworks "tra-digital" animation from the early 2000s (blend of 2D and CGI).
I’m not sure if you’ve watched Georgia rule but it’s an amazing movie and I would love to see you reaction on it! 🥰
This movie is SO good. Chel is 😲😳🥵
Someone tell me why they are all so attractive tho, DreamWorks had no right.. 😂
I love El dorado yes it has its flaws but its still soo damn good. I did a voice impression of the scene where chel wants in on the scam
YESSS MY FAVORITE MOVIE FINALLY IS GETTING ATTENTION
The citizens of el Dorado thought Miguel & Tulio were gods because of the horse! Horses died out in the Americans a few thousand years ago. But the gods you see creating the Americas/el Dorado at the beginning of the movie are riding a horse-like creature.
So Miguel & Tulio ride up on an animal that looks similar to the one their gods ride (an animal they've never seen before) and they think their gods have come
Awesome 😎
Wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait Chel just got some dang even I can’t make a move that fast
You look really nice today good video❤
Great introoooo
AHhhhhH I Can't!!!
😊
Yeah the animation looks very beautiful though
1:30 your 🎲 are loaded!
this was my movie as a kid
Yo love that movie
“We die like Ben” 😂😂🙂😟😭😭😭
YAAASSS
😝
Love the videos, just heard of you and subscribed. You should watch Joseph: King of Dreams!!!
I watched this movie in cinema with my uncle. I loved it and it makes me happy when people enjoy it. And i am baffled that dreamworks put an oral sex scene in a children movie
Hey Lakia! I see you've reviewed a lot of Peter Pan movies, PLEASE do a reaction to Pan (2015) SO UNDERRATED in my opinion 😂😂
This is my fav movieee of all timeeee…. Idk why doesnt have 2nd para😪
When you hear about animated movie soundtracks everyone brings up Tarzan with Phil Collins, but Sir Elton killed this soundtrack. Just as good if not better than Tarzan's.
