After a daring escape, with the help of a clever war horse named Altivo, they manage to stumble onto El Dorado only to find their troubles are just beginning. The High Priest Tzekel-Kan proclaims them to be gods, plotting to use their fortuitous arrival to take power from the Chief. To sustain the ruse and get the gold, Tulio and Miguel must enlist the aid of the beautiful native Chel, who matches them con-for-con. But time is running out, and even as they fulfill their dreams of gold, their friendship and the very fate of El Dorado hang in the balance.

    Watched it in Religion, not bad.

    There is a moment in "The Road to El Dorado" where the two heroes and their profoundly dubious horse are in a rowboat somewhere in the ocean off Central America. It looks like the end.

    Then a seabird appears, circles and lands on their boat. This is a good omen. Land must b...( read more)e near. Then the bird drops dead. Bad sign. Then a shark leaps out of the sea and snaps up the bird in one gulp.

    Tulio (Kevin Kline)is asked by his long time friend Miguel (Kenneth Branagh), "Tulio, did you ever imagine it would end like this?" to which Tulio responds "The horse is a surprise..."

    Piling gag on top of gag is the strategy of the film, creating a bright and zesty animated comedy...

    A funny and fresh animated movie with great voice work from Branagh and Kline.
    Done in almost the same style as the old "Road" movies with Bob Hope and Bing Crosby, this movie has just as many laughs and funny dialogue as they did. Kline and Branagh are perfect together as Migue...( read more)l and Tuilo and bring great life to the characters.
    It's a good story, full of good humor, and is well worth watching.

    "We're both in barrels. That's the extent of my knowledge"
