Suffers from demographic schizophrenia. Full Review |

I think my problem is this: The filmmakers want an epic feel to the film, but they provide neither context nor dimension to the people of El Dorado themselves. Full Review |

I expected to have a lot more fun...than I did, which is a shame. I think it's going to fall quickly by the wayside. Full Review |

As good as most recent post-Katzenberg Disney films, and certainly -- with its stylised characterisation and bursts of witty dialogue -- a great deal better than the Mouse's turgid mega-budget epic Dinosaur. Full Review |

3.5/5 |
A nice animated trip for kids, but hardly a required journey for grown-ups. Full Review |

4/5 |
Good clean fun, that will keep kids (and most adults) absorbed in its shiny cartoon bubble throughout. Full Review |

3/4 |
Gets by with a story that is good but not great -- not unlike the famous Road movies made 50 years ago by Bob Hope and Bing Crosby. Full Review |

2/4 |
In the few moments when the noise and the fast-paced story subside long enough for a good look at the scenery, the animation is impressive. Full Review |

Not only is the story reed thin, but it's also undercut by continual anachronistic dialog that's funny but alienates us from the adventure and characters. Full Review |

Everything about it evokes comparisons to other animated features, and while it more or less holds its own, nothing comes across as new or even interesting. Full Review |

|
2.5/4 |
Certain scenes are good, but visual wonder can only take a film so far, especially when that visual wonder is becoming an expected component. Full Review |
