The Road to El Dorado : 4 of 5

I was completely surprised by how great this movie was - I can't believe I let it pass me by at the theater! Sometimes it's hard to trust another studio besides Disney with a full-length animated feature, but The Road to El Dorado completely delivers. The story is interesting and exciting, the animation is wonderful (with just a little too much CG in places), the voices are incredible (Kevin Kline and Kenneth Branagh are excellent together), and even the songs are very nice (although Elton John has the balls to sing all of them - I just don't like his bizarre over-enunciation). I was glued to the screen for the whole movie - it never slows to the boredom point. I believe this film pretty much bombed at the box office - I never heard a thing about it after it's release, but it definitely deserves a good look!
