Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaVoice artists in animated movies usually record their parts alone, with no other actors or actresses in the studio with them. In a break with this tradition, Kevin Kline and Sir Kenneth Branagh recorded their dialogue together similar to when Disney's Aladdin (1992) had Jonathan Freeman record many of his scenes with Gilbert Gottfried.
- GoofsThe main characters make mention of the peseta as a currency. The peseta wasn't introduced until 1869, exactly 350 years after the time the movie is set in.
- Crazy creditsBibo the armadillo appears under the Directed By credit chasing two butterflies, catching one, and then eating it.
- Alternate versionsThe version shown on ABC television has two brief shots of Miguel and Tulio's bare backsides altered by digitally adding white underpants.
- ConnectionsFeatured in HBO First Look: The Road to Eldorado (2000)
Featured review
I watched this movie with my younger brother (who is in his late teens) and we both loved it. This movie, and Titian AE, are part of an interesting new trend- animated films that appeal to teens and adults. I was stuck by how much this movie wasn't for little kids- the whole Tulio/Chel relationship notably- but since I'm not a parent, I don't have to be bothered by that. I got the impression that this movie was animated only because it is easier(ok, cheaper) to draw the elaborate settings than it would have been to constuct sets that showed as rich a setting. My only qualm with the movie is the awful musical numbers that all animated films insist on having in them- why do they all strive to be musicals? But all in all, it's a great movie. If you too find yourself drawn to such shows as Batman Beyond, you might appricate this animation that isn't geared towards small children.
