The sequences on the Atlantic Ocean and El Dorado and its surrounding forests are impressive. Character animation is again Disney-like. As with many Disney movies, historical accuracy is conveniently downplayed. El Dorado is a mix between Inca, Mayan, and other cultures. The precise location of the city is never mentioned in the film, only that it is in the New World.
Special care is taken to portray the citizens of El Dorado as peaceful.
Tzekel-Kan is the only one who advocates cannibalism. Cortes is also obviously the bad guy, and many of the acts committed by him and other explorers are only alluded to. But again, one can argue that this is essentially a children's movie, and a buddy movie. Overall, The Road to El Dorado is nothing special, only filler.
