    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Voice 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.
    • Goofs
      The 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.
    • Quotes

      Chel: Oh, then I suppose you'll be wanting these back?

      [produces dice in her hand]

      Tulio: [pats pockets, shocked] Hey... how'd you get those?

      Miguel: [raising eyebrows] WHERE was she KEEPING them?

    • Crazy credits
      Bibo the armadillo appears under the Directed By credit chasing two butterflies, catching one, and then eating it.
    • Alternate versions
      The version shown on ABC television has two brief shots of Miguel and Tulio's bare backsides altered by digitally adding white underpants.

    A winner.
    This is the best animated movie (rated PG-13 or lower) since The Lion King. The story seems a bit rushed, but it is entertaining. And the animation simply breathtaking. The soundtrack is another winner for Elton John and the songs he performs add depth to the story.
