Dreamworks SKG's second feature-length animated film blends comedy and drama in an unusual historical adventure. Two genial swindlers working as stable hands stow away with Cortez, the legendary Spanish conquistador, as he searches for El Dorado, the lost City of Gold. Luck smiles on the two con men, and they happen to find a settlement in Mexico that they believe is El Dorado; however, while the two exotic strangers are at first embraced by the Mayan people, they've also arrived just in time to be offered up as the next human sacrifice.

Although the combination of classic and computer animation is a bit outdated or slightly disturbing, the brisk adventure story isn’t outdated. Sometimes it’s a bit of a variation on The Man Who Would Be King, and above all the amazing songs of Elton John, which I think playfully match those of The Lion King. And when the heroes are dubbed by Kevin Kline and Kenneth Branagh, the fun and quality are taken care of. The Road to El Dorado is not a groundbreaking animated film, but it is a great spectacle to watch and listen to.
