I love how even though Miguel isn't a god he still offers him a home in the city. I also love how Miguel genuinely cared for the people in the city and not the gold.
It was so fascinating seeing Miguel allowing himself to connect with people and bond with them in the city while Tulio kept his guard up (other than with Chel), it really shows the difference between the duo. But I'm also glad none of them are bad people, they just handle situations differently.
I love that it doesn't insult the intelligence of the audience too. We don't need it spelled out for us. We can pick up on the meaning for ourselves from that simple line
@@gerstein03 It's all in the facial expression, which is what the medium of animation and film is all about. No need for more dialogue. Less is more. It's brilliant
I definitely like that this movie avoids the "good characters become angry when they eventually uncover the lie" cliche and makes the Chief a better character.
Virgin Emperor of Mankind: Religion is a blight upon humanity and I must eradicate that cancerous nature of human mind. Chad Chief Tannabok: I will direct the spiritual need of people into a benevolent course even if I personally don't believe in Gods, because I know if I don't, it will be redirected by the sadistic fanatic Tzekel Kan.
I don't understand how this movie, with it's gorgeous animation and dialogue like this, could fail!? It's so underrated and I'm mad that a bunch of critics said it was a flat and average experience. We don't need less of these kinds of films. We need more!
I agree, so many animated films from the early 2000s are my favorite movies, sad to see them flop when they originally released 😢 good to know people who grew up with it are now praising it 🙌
This movie came out at a time where people aren’t ready for this story since majority of the animated movies are typical Disney princess ones. So the audience and critics weren’t ready for this gem. I’d bet if the movie came out around 2010 or today it would do so much better compared to 2000 together with Atlantis and Treasure Planet.
throughout the movie he saw them both caring more about the people of the city then the gold and that their presence brought about positive changes to the city, it's no surprise he was willing to cover for them and let them live there
If anything, the fact that the chief never believed that they were legit gods not only shows his more logistical side but also he's probably thinking 'they're fuckin with the priest, it's pretty funny'
I gave this a rewatch for the first time in a decade and was shocked I didn't notice the significance of this conversation on my first round. Then again, I was 10. I love to think that Chief Tannabok is actually a deity who covers for Miguel and Tulio cause of the kindness they show his people. Would be neat if he was responsible for the Volcano growing unsteady and settling down in the beginning to see how things would play out with the duo.
First time I watched I thought we were about to have a third antagonist working for their own means because I completely misread the chief’s looks here as being evil 😂
I like to think that most of the city figured it out but didn't mind because the guys were such good fun. It was only the mad priest who was a fanatic, who wanted an excuse to smite people.
Is it just me, or are the native characters have accents more Spanish than the Spaniards in this film? I mean Cortez and Tulio sound like they're Americans whilst Miguel sounds like he's English!

I love how the chief knows that Miguel being a god is irrelevant. He has been a good and positive figure for his people.
Man, this movie's great.

@@agentwbeckettme too
@@agentwbeckettI often personally thought Tzekle Kan was going to kill Chel I’m glad it didn’t happen
@@agentwbeckettI really like you and wish you made more videos
1:48 Chief giving the "I got you, fam" smile. He saw through their con, but needs to pay them back for standing up for the people.
An act of kindness sparks another
I love how this one scene completely changes the Chief's role in the movie on a second viewing.
I'm so happy with this scene because it shows the chief isn't only benevolent, but also quite perceptive
makes yoi think how many people actually believe they were gods at all....maybe some did genuinely want to help them@@agentwbeckett
One simple line. And we as an audience already understand what is happening
such a power move to have this instead of another ham-fisted liar reveal 👀

it subverted the liar reveal trope so well!!

I think it's because of bad timing

Like I said, bad timing
I honestly think this was one of the most expensive movies to ever make. Back in 2000, $95 million was probably worth around $300 million.
Love he genuinely didnt mind him not being a god, he jsut love how Miguel loved the people and their world.
1:40-1:43 that’s great. Unlike tzekel kan.
Even the Chief isn't 100% honorable - he's thinking "You DID lie to everyone here - but, on the other hand, you helped me get rid of my main rival."
He did stop the sacrifices. It might have been a power move, but he acknowledged the positive influence they have on his people.
throughout the movie he saw them both caring more about the people of the city then the gold and that their presence brought about positive changes to the city, it's no surprise he was willing to cover for them and let them live there
Let me ask you something: Would you rather tell a lie that helps your society, or a truth that hurts it?
He was doing so for the benefit of his people, remember his "rival" was a crazy, sadistic, psychopath.
What are you going to do with a useless truth. You can reveal it later.
When I was a kid, I never knew he knew the truth. When I got older, I realize the chief was even cooler than I remember 😁
1:13 me too
This scene here made me really love Chief Tannabok as a character.
Such a good character moment 👏
It was voiced by Edward James Olmos.
I love how the chief doesn't care if miguel and tulio lie about being god because he cares more in the positive things that comes from them
the chief is actually a god himself so that's why he already knew from day one
best theory i’ve ever heard
As fun as it is listen this theory, I still gotta ask this from someone. Why didn't he in that case get rid of that fanatic lunatic priest himself?
@@Dahaka-rd6tw And risk exposing himself as a god or turning the people against himself?
If anything, the fact that the chief never believed that they were legit gods not only shows his more logistical side but also he's probably thinking 'they're fuckin with the priest, it's pretty funny'
This movie is still an absolute masterpiece.
It's just so fun to watch!
And it will be.

Oooh that’s a good theory 👀
favorite scene, bar none. The ending dialogue, so lowkey.
I love the subtlety of this scene so much
Still my favorite scene in all of the movie
It is a very underrated scene
1:26 me too
Man this scene was so good because it shows that the natives knew they werent God's but were happy to welcome in friendly outsiders
It's nice he chief knew he wasn't a god and I didn't tell on him
Chef and his cigar reminds me of my Abuelo.
Such a gentle way of saying it. I miss this movie
Unfathomably based, that's our mf *CHIEF*
I was looking for the Will Wood song, but this is cool, too.
Me too
Me too
MASTERPIECE OF A FILM
*"HALF!?"*
I'm convinced that the Chief already knew that Miguel and Tulio weren't really gods, yet he welcomed them in anyway.
First time I watched I thought we were about to have a third antagonist working for their own means because I completely misread the chief’s looks here as being evil 😂
It was probably a pleasant surprise then
I like to think that most of the city figured it out but didn't mind because the guys were such good fun.
It was only the mad priest who was a fanatic, who wanted an excuse to smite people.
Love the chief. Nice guy. Love this scene so much
Such a subtle scene I love it
1:48 me too
The best freaking scene, Chief Tannabok is the best
Love this movie, one of my favorite Dreamworks movies
I love the fact that the chief knew all along Tulio and Miguel weren’t gods
Gave him the
... nigga I been new it's just the other dude was walling Killin Madd people
I love the chief
chief's the best
Increíble como una generación entera dejó pasar esto
will wood refrence
The chief:
"The mast?"
"Rope?"
The boat has everything it needs 😂
I read this theory that the chief, the horse, and/or the armadillo are actually gods guiding things from the sidelines! :P
no way it’s that one will wood song
HALF
Is it just me, or are the native characters have accents more Spanish than the Spaniards in this film? I mean Cortez and Tulio sound like they're Americans whilst Miguel sounds like he's English!
