Absolutely watch Atlantis The Lost Empire
Oooo okay, good to know! Thank you!
Armadillo is the most loyal sidekick. Miguel and Tulio aren’t even aware that they saved armadillo in the jungle and that was why he started to follow them. They were just cutting through the vines and happened to cut a tree branch where a snake was about to attack armadillo.
It explains not only why he follows them, but also why he was okay with being used as a ball in the game. He owed them his life.
As a bonafide Disney adult it shocks everyone who knows me that I can say with absolute confidence that this is my favourite animated movie of all time. It's a masterpiece. I adore every second of it.
Glad you enjoyed this film! Yes, Disney’s Atlantis is definitely worth watching!!! I must recommend these other amazing animated films: Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron, The Prince of Egypt, Treasure Planet, Kung Fu Panda trilogy, Coraline, Chicken Run, The Lion King, Toy Story tetralogy, Tarzan, and Brother Bear.

Whoooa!! Thank you so much for all of the recommendations! ❤❤❤
@@maplenutsreact you’re welcome! 😉
Those are my two ultimate favorite animated films and it’s funny how one is Disney and one is not and they both have loosely the same premise.
@@maplenutsreact I WHOLE heartedly second the recommendations for: Atlantis, Prince of Egypt, Treasure Planet, and any Disney but Brother Bear is an amazing rec.
I watched this movie way back when because I'm an Elton John fan, otherwise I may not have given it a second thought, but wow, I'm so glad I did. Possibly the most underrated animated film out there. Loved watching you guys fall in love with it too!
"Oh, then I suppose you'll be wanting these back?"
"Hey... how'd you get those?"
"WHERE was she KEEPING them?"
Fun Fact: Started as a tribute to the "Road To" series of movies starring Bob Hope and Bing Crosby.
Historical Fact: The name of the Spanish General in the movie is Cortes, but in real life, the man who tried to find El Dorado (The City Of Gold) was Gonzalo Pizarro.
Music Enthusiast Fact: The Backstreet Boys performed "Friends Never Say Goodbye" with Sir Elton John on the soundtrack, but not in the movie. In that same year, A.J. McLean could not perform with the other Backstreet Boys for London's Party in the Park concert tour because his grandfather had surgery. For that reason, Elton temporarily replaced him.
Lost In Adaptation Fact: The story is loosely inspired by Rudyard Kipling's The Man Who Would Be King (1888), featuring con men who try to trick the natives of an isolated city in Kafiristan, with disastrous results. The Man Who Would Be King (1975) is a more faithful adaptation, starring Sean Connery, Michael Caine, Saeed Jaffrey, and Christopher Plummer as Kipling/Narrator. I highly suggest the 1975 movie go on the list.
Oh wow! Had no idea someone actually went out in search of El Dorado. And that movie sounds really interesting. After watching Highlander, I could always use some more Sean Connery!
You should consider more movies made before 1990. Just because it's an older movie, doesn't make it bad. Just saying.
Go with God and Be Safe from Evil. 😎 👍
Yes, absolutely! So far we're loving the older movies too ❤ @@BigGator5
earth worm jim as ash? nice.
Right!? I love that you noticed
Going back to these older reactions. the beard is a good change. Always love a good beard.
Got this awesome movie on dvd 📀
Haha heck yeah! It's one I can definitely see myself watching over and over again now! ❤
I'm so happy you guys did a reaction on and watched this movie, it's one of my all time favourites! Love everything about it, the characters, humour, music, art style, animation. Not many people on RUclips has reacted to this one yet, but I hope it catches on. Was awesome watching your reaction especially to the armadillo 😁
Aww I'm so glad you enjoyed it!! I couldn't agree more, such a fantastic and fun movie! Omg that armadillo hahaha ❤❤❤
This is one of the best animated movies.
Atlantis, Treasure Planet, The Iron Giant, The Prince of Egypt are all awesome. I think you guys would also like Strange Magic, it's got at least one cute animal lol.
I actually owned this movie on VHS when I was a teenager. I haven't seen it in 20 years though. Funny that you mentioned enjoying the music because it was done by the musical team that did the music for The Lion King six years earlier. Hans Zimmer did the score, partnered by John Powell here instead of Lebo M., and Elton John and Tim Rice wrote the songs. So that's why the music is so good.
Oh amazing! So many incredibly talented people ❤
@@maplenutsreact Yeah, big time. And because I haven't seen the movie in 20 years I had to look up who did the music, because I had completely forgotten.
(Apologies, this got long. Enjoyed the reaction, I have nostalgia about this film, so I waffled.)
I loved this ridiculous film immediately with my entire heart. I watched it the theatre as a teenager, I went on a whim one afternoon when I had skipped my classes after lunch (shh :p) I watched it all the way to the end of the credits, left the theatre, bought another ticket, and turned right back around and watched the next screening as well. And then saw it again 7 more times before they stopped showing it (and so many more since then). I remember nothing from any classes I took that year, but I can quote this film almost verbatim, lol. (my brain is an odd place). It's always been desperately underrated, I had the whole theatre to myself every time. It's beautifully animated, the music is great, the characters are loveable, and it doesn't try to do anything but tell a simple story very well.
I've heard this film described as "The rogue and the bard split from the main party and go on a sidequest" and I love that so much :D This whole thing could absolutely be a DnD game. Miguel rolled a nat 20 on that acrobatics check to get the final ball through the hoop (just as the DM's sand timer ran out on the puzzle) and I can 100% hear a DnD table having that planning conversation on the ship ("in the dead of night" etc)
5:40: "Seagulls only fly out to sea to die" THANK you! You're the only reactor I've ever seen appreciate the whole of that layered joke. Joy!: A seagull, must be close to land! Despair: It's a dying/dead seagull. Joy (tempered): Dead seagull = lunch? Despair!: Shark.
It's just a perfectly constructed visual joke that I've always enjoyed, (which I have obviously utterly ruined by explaining) and I've never seen a reactor catch that first part.
(Aside: The seagull thing IS a myth, they don't deliberately go out to sea to die, they just sometimes...die at sea, because it's a dangerous place. But it is a oft-repeated myth that's been around for a very long time, and it fits what Miguel and Tulio would know of the world, plus it's still widely enough believed today for this joke to land. [/waffling] ANYWAY, I just liked that you appreciated it too. )
Re: the volcano, that moment is probably the best support for a common fan theory that makes the whole film make a little more sense, which is: The exposition song at the start ("This glorious city" etc) is TRUE in this universe. The gods really did build El Dorado 1000 years ago, and DID send these two knuckleheads to save it, they just didn't TELL them. And the prophecy was a real prediction (just misinterpreted as them being "gods" themselves.) From the lucky 7 on the dice, and the apple that falls from the basket, to Chel running into them at the rock, they were sent rolling towards the city like a couple of pinballs in a machine, with the gods knowing their presence would cause the chain of events that lead to the city staying hidden.
Also, that the armadillo is a tiny god or a spirit of some kind. It's involved every time they have a lucky escape or convince people of their "divinity", like the volcano actually stopping when Tulio yells at it. (Iirc the armadillo part was meant to be true in canon originally, but it was mostly cut out. It's still somewhat implied though. That lil guy KNOWS things. Altivo too.)
"All of the sacred writings say you will devour the wicked and unrighteous" these sacred texts of prophecy came from somewhere. It seems appropriate that the only person in the city who qualifies was devoured by the mouth of Xibalba, and met a terrible fate. Just as predicted.
I always feel bad for Tzekel-Kan at the end. Yeah he was awful, but he really believed he was fulfilling his purpose, and if the gods really are pulling the strings in this universe then they did him dirty AF. The look on his face when he finds the waterfall closed is so well animated, the confusion after being SO certain. Can't help but feel for the guy as he's dragged away from his home.
Of course, another theory that ties into the previous ones is that not all of the gods want the city to be saved, and Tzekel-Kan serves one of the others (maybe unknowingly). Who knows. Lots of room to theorize about the worldbuilding, lol. (Yes, it's based on somewhat "historical" places and figures, like Cortez, who did exist, but this is clearly a world with slightly different physics, magic, etc so it's fun to roll out the red thread and the pinboard sometimes).
Yes, I have thought about this too much. I told you, my brain is an odd place.
Yeah, the animation of the stone jaguar is magnificent, I love how it moves, you get a sense of the weight of it as it passes through the space. It ISN'T graceful, it can't change direction quickly, it has momentum, it moves exactly like you'd expect several tons of magically animated rock to move, and the attention paid to sound design so that it SOUNDS like stone is fantastic. The cuts from the creature back to the high priest are great too. That whole sequence is just *chef's kiss *
This rambling train of thought was bought to you by overthinking, caffeine, nostalgia, and ADHD.
Tl:Dr: Great movie, great reaction! I know this comment is SO late, only found this reaction today.
If you ever see this comment, as far as recommendations, you might enjoy the Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves movie (the 2023 one, NOT the older one, lol) random I know, but The Road to El Dorado does have a very DnD feel to it and honestly, similar vibes. It doesn't have many fluffy animals, but the owlbear is pretty neat? :p
Hope you two are having an great and awesome day ❤
Awww thank you!! ❤❤❤ We hope you are too!
Bad luck is luck too, and they are the luckiest!
Id love to see y'all's reaction to Prince of Egypt.
Recommendation: The black cauldron
This is the greatest 2D animated movie of all time. Hands down.
😂
You’re funny.
@@KrazyKat007 The gods have spoken. Every man should give a sealed copy of this movie to his first born son as a birthright.
Love this movie!! Yeh def do animated movies😁
I recommend the amimated movie 'FernGully: The Last Rainforest' (1992)
Atlantis is good!
You should also watch Arcane
Please react to a movie called "Mary and Max". It's a claymation movie (stop motion with clay) and it's not for children (its PG13) because even when it's very funny, it deals with some strong adult themes and it's very intense emotionally, but it's such a work of art and it's so beautiful. I know you'll love it.
Oh and another recommendation for an animated movie.
The season is coming and perfect for it.
“The Nightmare Before Christmas” (1993)
This film is perfect for the whole Halloween season through Christmas!!
Oooo that sounds super fun! Thank you! ❤❤❤
Another movie recommendation for you that I believe would be right up your guys ally.
“Where the Wild Things Are” (2009)
Based on the classic children’s storybook.
This is a fascinating film for many reasons.
I think you’d both find it very compelling.
Oh yes! I read that book when I was super young! I would love love love to see that movie!! Thank you for the recommendation ❤❤❤
@@maplenutsreact Awesome!!
…I do hope that’s the female leaving the hearts and not the guy.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that!
It’s just I’d feel more comfortable watching the videos if that was the case.
Heya fellow Canucks! I have a few Canadian horror or horror-comedy movies for October if you are interested. "Pontypool", "Fido" and "Ginger Snaps" are all excellent choices, with Ginger Snaps being probably the most famous of them (though I personally think that Pontypool is the best of them).
Oooo Canadian horror/horror-comedy sounds awesome! Thank you!
@@maplenutsreact
Fido is the horror comedy. And has some decently big names in it even!
Oooo now I'm so curious to see who's in it! I'll wait until we watch it though so I don't spoil it ❤@@RedKytten
