Of course, i was missing it too, until about fifteen minutes in.
Okay -- the title is "THE ROAD TO El Dorado" Hands up, everyone with whom that rings a bell.
No?
Okay -- its stars are two fast-talking con men who get out of trouble by faking fights with each other,and who *almost* play pattycake at a point.
Still no bells ringing?
How about if i point out that, at one point, our heroes' images are briefly morphed into the faces of Bob Hope and Bing Crosby for about two frames?
Right.
This is a tribute to/animated version of those hilarious (if you're in the right frame of mind) "B" comedies starring Bob Hope and Bing Crosby (and Dorothy Lamour in a sarong -- does Chel look any more familiar, now?), all of which were entitled "The Road to..." somewhere or other.
Nothing in them was meant to be taken seriously, and very little in this film is.
I have to agree with a number of reviewers who say, with varying degrees of indignation, that this is not a kids' film.
Duh.
It wasn't meant to be. It was meant to ba a general-audience, PG-rated film.
WILL you people PLEASE get it through your heads that "animated" does not, necessarily, equal "kids' movie"?
Animation is just another film-making technique, to be used to make any kind of film the animator wants to make, and if you think that animation is automatically for kids, check out... oh, say... "Akira" or "Fantastic Planet" or "Heavy Metal".
"Road to El Dorado" is an excellent all-ages film, (with the caveat that is IS a PG-rated one, and that you ought to think about what you want your kids to watch) and anyone who sees anything bad or prurient in the scenes that everyone has been complaining about should take a close look at themselves...
