Hi Sophia great commentary! Also I recommend masterminds, save the last dance, the roommate, 47 meters down/ 47 meters down uncaged
Peyote is another trippy plant that you may have been thinking about
When are you going to watch Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarrons?
Worth mentioning: In the sponsor transition, you really can rock that Steve Jobs turtleneck
I love that Kenneth Branagh and Kevin Kline were right next to each other in the recording booth while recording their dialogue, so as to establish a close bond between their characters.
It really makes their vocal chemistry pop, and gives them the opportunity to play off each other. I love the way they fast-talk and bicker.
For a while there, Dreamworks did this a lot & that's why their more comedic 2000's movies have such good banter. The main casts of Shrek & Madagascar were also often in the same room when they recorded.
The scene where Fiona belched & donkey commented that she was just as nasty as Shrek in the first film was actually a blooper from one of the shared voice booth sessions. Cameron Diaz accidentally let one slip & Eddie Murphy rolled with it in character lol.
@@FeatheredWingzPlease tell me there's video of this lol
Miguel, Tulio, and Chel awakened my bisexuality. Like the animators had no business making them so attractive!
Top tier throuple, still.
Chel: Both.
Tulio: Both?
Miguel: Uh, yeah…. Both is good.
What if I said the evil guy was actually fine?
Literally 😂
YES
Chel woke something in all of us.
Please, this is nothing. According to an animator, there was a storyboard scene where Chel and Tulio are having their “alone time”, but almost get caught. Chel tries to cover herself up, only for Tulio to pop his head in between her thighs….
😂😂😂 she as Fem fatal (a bad women who breaks the rules) look it up for a more in depth definition
They knew exactly what they were doing when they designed Chel and I can't thank them enough.😂 This is such a great film, one of DreamWorks' most underrated. And you gotta respect the amount of adult jokes they were able to slip in. It’s unfortunate we never had a sequel as planned, I would have loved another adventure with this trio.
There was supposed to be a sequel??
Oh yeah, no way that was unintentional.
@@SophiaPhannn Yes, and a series supposedly. DreamWorks expected this to do as well as if not better than the Prince of Egypt. But when it unreservedly flopped because people only cared about cgi films then, all extra material was scrapped. A shame really.
@@DanGamingFan2846General audiences are idiots.
Chel is like kida if she was a femme Fatale and wasn't a granny in lingerie. They both dress similar and are natives except chel wears a crop top instead of a bra. Almost copies of each other.
The actual history behind the El Dorado myth is fascinating and morbidly hilarious. As you mentioned, people in South America at the time were not really using gold as currency - just as decoration and jewelry. As a result, while it was valued, it was not valued to _nearly the same extent_ that it was in Europe.
Anyway, in the Muisca kingdom in what is now Colombia, there was a ritual whenever a new ruler took office - he would be covered in gold dust and bathe in Lake Guatavita, and the people gathered around would bring treasures and throw them into the lake as a sacrifice.
The Spanish heard about this ritual and went "oh my word, if they're just throwing gold away like that, they must have so much of it that they don't know what to do with it all!"
So by the time they actually conquered the Muisca, they weren't just looking for gold - they were essentially looking for _infinite_ gold, to the point that whatever they actually found was never going to be enough. So even though they had conquered the kingdom and deposed "the golden one" _(el dorado),_ they kept looking because...the motherlode has to be out there somewhere, right?
Meanwhile, the Spanish were finding enormous amounts of platinum and throwing it away because they had no use for it
Little me was so obsessed with Chel. I was like “I wanna be her!” No, little me. You were gay.
I totally understand. Not specifically with Chel, but with other characters
My theory about this movie is that the real gods were watching the whole thing happen and decided to roll with it and help by making the volcano erupt to make Tulio and Miguel being gods believable 😂
Having a little bit of fun 😂
For a while people were actually saying that the armadillo was originally a god in the movie but they cut it out. Turns out it was a theory that went through a telephone game 😆 But it's a popular-ish theory!
that has been the biggest fan theory i have seen, and i tend to believe it as well
I always liked that the Chief seemed to figure out relatively fast that they weren't gods but played along because they were they kind, especially Miguel. They were the kind of "gods" the chief wanted for his people, rather than the human sacrifices, cleanse the city, and using terror sort of gods the high priest wanted. We can talk all day about different cultural moralities around blood letting and human sacrifices, but from my recollection blood and human offerings were from willing participants usually. In the movie it's pretty clear Tzekel-Kan is using unwilling sacrifices.
I also liked that even the horse mouths "El Dorado" when they all see the city for the first time hah!
It's so cruel now that I look back on it, but when my little sister and I were young and the other one might get into trouble if we did something, we would quote to each other, "You will be flogged and after that, God willing, you will be flogged some more." It's a funny memory for both of us now, but man, we had a twisted sense of humor.
THAT’S SO FUNNY LOL
I watched this movie on repeat when I was younger and I genuinely sat there and acted like an oblivious child ever single time 😂😂😅
Not me, I was going to bed imagining a throuple 😭
The line about what Miguel did to the girl in Barcelona always has me rolling….
So there actually was a historical El Dorado. Basically the South American city was built on/near a big gold deposit, and the natives found it. Gold is extremely malleable and doesn’t tarnish, so they plastered it on everything and tossed offerings into the big lake the city was built by. The Conquistadors found it, and basically decided that a lake filled with gold and gold plated decorated buildings wasn’t legendary enough to be the golden city and basically kept searching for El Dorado.
We don't get films like this or Treasure Planet often anymore because they were so expensive in every way imaginable. Wish, Across the Spiderverse, and Nimona have gotten close to the vibe, but nothing has felt as epic and expansive and these older animations imo.
Prince of Egypt is iconic. I'm gonna try to push people to do better, but the state of mainstream modern animation is pretty sad generally speaking.
And Puss in Boots 2.
I can't even be mad, that ad transition was slick. i was blind-sided. Respect
I’m actually extremely proud of how I did it 😂😎
2:32
Fun Fact:
Kenneth Branagh improvised that line! He’s a serious Shakespearian actor, so he really knows when to use his million-dollar words!
😎
The way I still listen to the soundtrack to this day. It’s already gone platinum in my car lol. Elton John can seriously do no wrong when it comes to composing movie soundtracks.
This is an underrated animated gem from DreamWorks Animation that should get more recognition.
My personal headcannon is that Chel wanted to leave, cause she was the local con artist (much like tulio and miguel) and felt she needed a fresh start with fresh suckers to con at :PPP
Funny you said the villain was like Frollo. Because as an animation geek, I can say they share the same animator: Kathy Zielinski. Look her up. She has quite an impressive resume.
I wish I could hear all the ad libbed pet names and flirtatious comments Branagh and Kline apparently recorded that they cut out. That's up there for me with all of Robin Williams's R-rated Genie outtakes as a grail.
I never knew how badly I wanted that, lol
12:28
Yeah, a good portion of this movie is based on a Rudyard Kipling book called The Man Who Would Be King. Two brits go to Afghanistan to build an empire for themselves and manage to convince the local villagers that they are gods. At the end of the story the villagers realize that they are only human after seeing one of them bleed and kill both of them for taking advantage of them.
It was also adapted into a movie with Sean Connery and Michael Caine
A realistic ending LOL like why was the chief okay with them duping the people??? 😂
i always thought the armadillo was the god in disguise, because Miguel saved him from the snake, so when the volcano was going off the armadillo was playing with the butterfly between their legs. So when Tulio yelled stop, the armadillo jumped onto the leg, and the volcano stopped. The armadillo is always with them nearby even in the ball match xD. also the gold is very heavy so it would drag maybe for a little bit, but then just fall in the bottom when it stills xD
I love this movie. I also loved the fact that Chel and the Chief knew from the start that they weren’t gods, but played along in different ways. Also yeah: Chel. Just… Chel. She’s great. I love her.
Yeah he kinda stalled a little bit
Fun fact: The artists had to _tone down_ how hot they originally made Chel. The difference for her original design was that she wore a poncho.
The issue? She was ONLY wearing a poncho (El Dorado fans were f*cking robbed😭)
The thruple we all deserve
❤️💘💙
Fuck me I spelled Throuple wrong 🥴
this movie was a whole bipanic… actually chel was on top, she did things to all of us i think
Everyone’s awakening were Chel but for me it was always Miguel and Tulio they were fruity as hell fruity I say 😂😂
miguel with that fuckass bob?? yeah that's a whole edible arrangement
Apparently Miguel & Tulio were suppose to be a gay couple but I heard they scrapped it. Since back then media wasn’t really open to lgbt like it is now these days
@@littlesparrow303 even if they didn’t make them officially gay it still gets the point across regardless 😂😂😂
@@2609pink yeah that’s true
Today I learned that Sophia is RUTHLESS when it comes to survival. Remind me never to let my horses around you! 😅
This movie was one of my absolute favorites as a kid. The animation was gorgeous, the comedy was hilarious, and yes it was one of the first movies that opened my eyes to romantic attraction. Watching this film was an *experience*, lol.
Chel definitely made a lot of little boys begin feeling certain things early on. She was a powerful woman indeed.
The rule34 community went crazy with her for a good reason!
I do wish the characters got more backstories to understand their motives and personalities more, especially Chel and Tzekhel-Khan.
Yeah I thought so too haha but hard to do in an hour and a half 😂
@@SophiaPhannn I wouldn'y have minded it being longer if that's what they did with the extra time. I have a similar issue with "Sinbad."
Yeah true I constantly questioning what the high chiefs, motives are as well as chel
I adore Road To El Dorado 🥰 Gorgeously animated, Sir Elton belts out some bangers, the best horse in animation, and I love the chemistry between Branagh and Kline. It got overshadowed by Prince of Egypt and then practically forgotten after Shrek ☹.
"What's the opposite of dickmatized cuz, is it pussimatized?" LMAO
Tulio was snatch-matized by Chel 😂
What a better time to upload this than on my 20th birthday! Also, Chel is an absolute baddie and one of my character crushes.
20TH omg a baby HAHA HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🥳
Thank you so much!
Chel was thick! They most likely animated her with one hand.
Ayooo 💀 you aren't wrong tho 😂😂
I love THE ROAD TO EL DORADO, my favourite song is 'IT'S TOUGH TO BE A GOD'.
I am with you about the initial punishment Cortes handed out to Miguel and Tulio. I didn't process it as a kid and then it took a couple rewatches before I actually took in what he was explaining and I think part of it is because it cuts immediately to Miguel reacting positively to the Cuba part of that entire punishment. Speaking of Miguel, I think it was his voice actor that thought the two were a couple so he kept calling Tulio darling until the studio was like "stop. we don't. we don't want people to think that." And I seen theories/conspiracies about the last frame before they push each other off the platform (to dodge the giant stone jaguar) was them actually kissing edited down to look like what we got in the film.
12:35 there’s a fan theory that the Armadillos we see in the movie are actually the real Gods incarnate. We see at least one every time a “miracle” happens.
They just tossed the gods around like a ball 😩
@@SophiaPhannn I mean they did prevent genocide by Cortez so I guess it’s worth taking some kicks from mortals.
Girl...Let me tell you a story. So it was Christmas like 6 years ago, all the cousins were together, everyones parents, and I hadn't seen the movie in forever so the movie choices while we were all there was Tarzan, or Road to Eldorado. I pushed Eldorado. Let me tell you, as a 20 year old sitting in the room with everyone during THAT scene I was like, frozen
What's kinda funny is that I could've sworn you did this movie a while ago but I think I'm thinking of another movie reaction channel and/or I might be confusing this movie with when you did Sinbad or Prince of Egypt 😂 Don't ask me why. Also not gonna lie, I would 100% risk my life to save the horse 😭So I can't help but not fault them for saving the horse. Horses being my favorite animal next to dogs, I ain't letting horses die on my watch! 😂
Omg Sinbad was so long ago 😂
Nah man a panicked horse thinking it’ll drown would definitely kill me if I tried saving it 😂 I know my limits!!
@@SophiaPhannn I mean, true 😂 I just feel like the guilt and trauma that a horse died right in front of me would honestly be extremely hard to recover from 😭
I also had this movie on VHS growing up. As an adult I have a copy on DVD. I will never stop loving this movie, it just awakens that childhood thrill for adventure in me
Thank you! I never noticed the tally marks before. Since I doubt that a prisoner would be left with a sharp object capable of carving them, I would think that they would be from sailors on previous voyages.
19:35
I love everyone’s reaction to this part!
😳
This went completely over my head until recently.
Glad you finally figured it out I figured it out as soon as I heard it
23 years later, the title of this video still holds true
Oh believe me when I say it was going to be even more hornier
Hi!
I just wanted to clear something out. During the game scene you said you didn’t get what the point would be in sacrificing the winning team. The truth is it is actually a mystery which was the team bound to be sacrificed, the winning or the losing one, but they were both formed with the best soldiers.
It was believed that a sacrifice of the best of the best would keep the gods pleased (this is also why some of the most beautiful women were chosen to be sacrificed), so either way, they would be the most capable of men.
Also, Cortes actually wasn’t well liked before he started conquering territories, bringing gold back to Europe and all.
Oh, and the gold thing, yes, indigenous people from back then didn’t value gold as much as the Spaniards did, they preferred jade, turquoise, obsidian, feathers from rare birds, etc. Maybe Chel knew this because she had already encountered a ‘pale face’ (there are many registers of white people getting to the Americas and setting down within the indigenous communities).
Anyway, thanks so much for the video!
Tulio was Hipnotised.
Okay eat ‼️
Her hips have their own gravitational pull. Which Tulio orbits around
😂😂😂
It was a whole bakery I feel so bad saying this tho 😂😂😂
Bro this movie was so many people’s bisexual awakening lmao
The spirit leader gets sucked into a side tunnel when he goes down the whirlpool. I think that’s why we don’t see a bunch of gold by the big rock
Lol u catch it later 👍
I have a friend that looks exactly like Chel; like, same haircut, body shape and skintone, the perfect embodiment of her 😵...!
I'm even convincing her to dress as Chel on the next Halloween, like, I'll even buy the cosplay for her 🤗😁...!
How to sum up this movie?
“On the one hand, GOLD. On the other hand,
PAINFUL AGONIZING FAILURE.”
Yup, The Road to El Dorado is an interesting gem in DreamWorks Animation history.
Say, for another old-school DreamWorks hand-drawn feature film, check out Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron from 2002.
At the same time, check out the recent hand-drawn 2018 DreamWorks short Bird Karma.
that segway into the ad was so good and trifling at the same time omggg, go girl!
Omg I’m so glad you finally watched this!!! More dreamworks movies!!!
I was shocked watching this for the first time, like this is a kids movie?
This was one of my favorite movies growing up, and I still love it. The bad guy actually freaked me out as a kid. Hope you will consider doing Quest for Camelot one day. Another underrated gem.
The editing in this video was awesome thoroughly enjoyed it.
omg girl i love love LOVE your hair wth😭
Omg thank you babe 🥺🫶🏼
This movie is one of my faves from childhood. It was so nice to reminisce by watching this video. Also, Miguel, Tulio, & Chel definitely awakened something in me. OT3 forever.
My favorite song is It's Tough to Be a God because (theatre kid forever) it's the only song any character sings!!!!
Also it's real fun how it plays with the idea of the myth of El Dorado as in the conquistadores never found it (maybe making it a wandering isle or something like that would've been better, since in the end the conquistadors thought it was in the Chile-Argentinian Patagonia). And even though this movie buys off the Leyenda Negra, Cortés was one of the most merciless and cruel of the conquistadors.
23:00
I once heard a theory that the chief might have known from the beginning that they were not gods.
🤔
I like this theory because it gives new significance to when the chief looks back at the people after the volcano scene, and when he later tells them, “Big smile! Like you mean it!”
Fun fact, Tzekel-Kan was animated by Kathy Zeilinski, the same lady who animated Hexxus, Frollo, Jafar (in his beggar disguise and snake form), and Ursula.
HEXXUS MENTIONED
This and treasure planet are my all time favourite animated movies .
So if you're wanting a slightly more meta version of this, with maybe some more "eeeeeh" overtones, there's the "Road To" series which inspired this film. From the black and white days, like we're talking 40s. Hence the "eeeeh" I mentioned; this film being about two white guys pretending to be gods to steal the native's gold is kinda tame in comparison to the others, but the others have a more meta sense of humour and can be just as funny; just gotta look past the time period a bit. The middle one, which I personally didn't finish, "The Road to Utopia," is probably the least problematic, since it's set in the US and is about the gold rush. The others are more foreign in their locale... but not in their actors... or research.
The order is:
The Road to Singapore
The Road to Zanzibar
The Road to Morocco
The Road to Utopia
The Road to Rio
The Road to Bali
and The Road to Hong Kong
I have the first four in a box set, and didn't even know about the other three. Each film is a self contained story with the same actors but playing different characters, so you don't need to watch them in order. I'd recommend Morocco or Utopia personally. Morocco is the funniest I've seen, but Utopia is the least problematic.
This is my favorite movie in the whole world, and I can’t believe this is the first time I’ve watched it in English.
I watched this movie for the first time this year with my aunts just in time for Indigenous People's Day.
Tulio had a sickness for the thiccness
23:51
I think you said it best earlier when you said she’s got him “under her spell.”
😉
I AM OBSESSED WITH THIS FILM!! 😍😍😍
Folks, that's how you segue to the sponsor. Everyone take notes. Keep up the good work, Sophia!
your make up looks so beautiful!! gold suits you well❤
Omg thank you 🫶🏼
i've said this before...If they ever decide to make a live action movie of this they need to cast Oscar Isaac and Domhnall Gleeson
I got a little action figure of the horse in a Happy Meal back when the movie came out; he kicked one of his front legs if you squeezed his tail. It's probably still floating around somewhere in the basement of my mom's house lol
At least they got Cortez right and I love how they handled the cheif's character
This was the type of movie you stumbled upon at a Blockbuster as a kid only to become obsessed with it
3:15 CGI had been around in animated films since The Black Cauldron. Mostly for special effects in difficult-to-draw perspectives/scales and grand backgrounds. The ballroom in Beauty and the Beast was carefully edited 3D CGI, so that it didn't distract from the hand-drawn characters. & The buffalo stampede in the Lion King was entirely cel-shaded CGI and took something like 3yrs to program from scratch and fully render (this was re-used for the Hun army's charge down the mountain in Mulan). The early 90's Rescuers Down Under was heavily cel-shaded CGI as a whole, but it's financial failure scared Disney animation off of going all in on truly developing CGI potential until Dreamworks' success with Shrek.
Dreamworks felt the pressure to differentiate from Disney, so they largely embraced 3D CGI when it became obvious their (underated) hand-drawn films were not effectively competing with Disney.
this movie was my bi awakening
I mean the whole point of the movie is that it IS messed up that Tulio and Miguel pretend to be gods to steal all of their gold lmfao
I always thought this movie was funny growing up and an underrated Dreamworks film like I didn’t get the adult themes when I was kid I just sort of rolled with it and then I grew up and realised there is a lot of adult themes in it but I still appreciate the movie and I still find it hilarious plus love the animation and the casting as well thanks for this reaction Sophia can’t wait for the next one 😊😁😉❤️
Friends don’t let friends do stupid things alone. That’s their whole thing.
This movie is so great I love the depiction of the indigenous people looked fine to me especially what DreamWorks was doing to Chel is something they sneakily always do in there movies ❤
1:45 not only was he based off a real person. One of his men’s journals survived and that line in his speech is basically a quote from it.
this movie is honestly better researched than the vast majority of films
Definitely one of my favorite Dreamworks movies, plus it was my introduction to Elton John 😍 I've been a huge fan since lmao
The opposite of 'dickmitized' is 'P-whipped' 😉
I didn't know this but the "I'm still okay" wasn't a part of the original scene, it was added because when they did an early screening (?) For kids and they saw that. Every kid that was there freaked out so DreamWorks added the "I'm still okay" which got better results.
gals wake up new sophia video just dropped
So, when are you going to schedule to watch Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarrons?
i love that the people who were in charge of this mobie said that the idea was for the both of them to be a couple but ended up discarting the idea because it would bring too much critizize
the ad placement *chief's kiss*
Still remains my favorited 2-d DreamWorks film
I personally feel like whenever we say underrated, it’s almost as if we learn later it actually meant poor. When you had less money you got whatever movies on sale or had them pirated.
Memorable songs, memorable memes l, just everything, memorable
Got this awesome movie on dvd 📀 😊
Would had been nice indeed if we had a motive for Chel why she wanted to leave...and agree with the fact what the gold can do for her since she was trying to steal some of it. It seem like the gold is only allowed by certain individuals and they are all poor but w/ that gold and she leave she can use it somewhere valuable for herself. Idk, I thought the guy that fell for the fact Tulio and Miguel were the gods was her father or uncle or some...lol...I just wish we had more of a background on her...but she was clearly made for obvious reasons.
Hey Sophia if you ever got the chance you should check out the movies the Adventures of Tintin, Spirit Stallion of the Cimmiron,Racing Stripes, Balto
I heard the road to el dorado was supposed to be the movie plot to Atlantis the lost empire, but something happened where the two stories were scrapped and made into separate movies. But what if el dorado was Atlantis???
there IS a bit of truth to eldorado... there was a large tribe in what is no Colombia, who had started forming a society based on agriculture and small cities... and who were very talented in working gold... they also had a lot of the stuff, for example when a new chief (king) was chosen they'd cover him in gold dust and wash it away in a lake, that's how mundain gold was to them! they'd also regulary tribute gold artefacts to their gods by throwing them in lakes... the spanish ofcourse heard about them, exagerated it even further and assumed all native americans had huge amounts of gold! the funniest thing is, that the spanish dumped TONNES of platinum in the sea... thinking it to be worthless, while lookin for gold and silver.... nowadays platinum and gold are both worth almost equal amounts, but gold is worth a 100! times more than silver... thus so is platinum (at least)
Awww yeah Chel time baby 😎
I blame this movie for my taste in women
Flogged and flogged some more flew right over my head as a kid 😂
I love this movie.Even my mother didn't like it sadly.I saw the DVD of it every time in shops-next to some kid magazone- whe I was a kid but I only got to know it's DreamWorks as a teen,and watched it first time as a teen.The soundtrack is underrated as well
Can someone help find an animated movie from early 2000s or maybe late 90s? It was a story about three wizards. Some little boy was pissed and walked into the bar and the bartender told him the story about those wizards. One of the wizards I believe was named Balthazar, second was short and fat looked like santa claus, and the third one was kinda similar to Gandalf. Gandalf and Santa Claus had a conversation about earth turning around the sun or the other way around and later they needed to pass the task of some creature which would eat them if they fail. First he jokingly asked them what was first, chicken or egg, then he asked them about earth and sun. There was also some young warrior with the and a thief girl with the wizards. The bad guys were some evil sorcerer who would turn into a giant monster (his name Belial or something like that I think), and some short fat king with a clown face.Couldn't find it anywhere
Hey I searched up the names of the characters on the internet is the movie The sorcerers apprentice?
