Time to actually get some reviews up on here!
I might as well begin with one of my favorite childhood movies, the Road to El Dorado.
Summary: Miguel and Tulio have been best friends for as long as they can remember. When they win a map to the golden city of El Dorado (using loaded dice), and "convieniently" get taken to the new world, the decide to go search for the city! (Hint: They actually do find the city really early in the movie)
Why do I love the Road to El Dorado? Hrmm...
The animation at times is beautiful, sporting a colorfull pallete when it needs to, but still not shying away from the darker shades.
The music (done by Elton John) is really good. Granted, it's still pop/rock music in a kid's movie... but it was done really well. In my opinion, whenever it is played, it always adds to the movie and never subtracts. And yes, I do still listen to it even when I'm not watching the movie.
The characters are realistic, and Miguel and Tulio actually end up acting as great foils for each other. Also, there's great subtlety in the dialogue that I didn't quite notice as a kid; quite clever.
In the end, I'd give the Road to El Dorade 8.5/10.
