The Road to El Dorado
Movie • 2000 • Adventure
ReportAfter a failed swindle, two con-men end up with a map to El Dorado, the fabled "city of gold," and an unintended trip to the New World. Much to their surprise, the map does lead the pair to the mythical city, where the startled inhabitants promptly begin to worship them as gods. The only question is, do they take the worshipful natives for all they're worth, or is there a bit more to El Dorado than riches?

The song sequence "It's tough to be a god" implies that they are drunk, but it's not obvious and would go over most kids heads.

Tzekel-kan picks up an illusionary rat by the tail, turns it back into a pear, and takes a bite out of it.

No animals are abused on screen, but Cortes’ strict behavior towards Altivo could be seen as a possibility of offscreen abuse as part of Altivo being a “perfect warhorse”, as we see in Cortes’ invasion that he has a much more unfeeling horse to counteract how Altivo behaves in the film.

There is a scene where Tzekel-kan conjures an illusion of spiders that fill the room with cobwebs and hang creepily from the ceiling. Tzekel-kan crushes one in his hand.

Tzekel-Kan is swept out and sucked under water by the currents of the tide pool offering area, which empties into the entrance area. He isn’t held under but being sucked into the tide pool may be uncomfortable due to the closeness of the two situations

During the song "tough to be a god" there are many bright eye-strain colours used in quick succession of each other, which does cause some flickering. I'd suggest caution for people with epilepsy or people sensitive to that sort of thing.

In the movie the people aren’t misrepresented per say as it very much feels like a love letter to the culture. In real life, the legend has probably caused great misrepresentation throughout the decades.
