==Fandom==
The Road to El Dorado fandom is fairly small, perhaps due to it's initially poor box office performance during its original release in 2000, although it did find an appreciative audience after it was released on home video and built up a cult following. There was a small group of dedicated fans of the movie and with the help of the internet, such as Tumblr and Deviantart along with FanFiction.net and Archive of Our Own, the fandom is steadily growing despite it being over two decades since the movie was released.As of March 31, 2014 since the film was released worldwide on March 31, 2000. Gifs, picspams, and fanart are often seen on Tumblr as well as Deviantart. On youtube, various crossover pairing vids can be found featuring Miguel, Tulio or Chel. Fans of Road to El Dorado often cosplay it mainly as Miguel, Tulio, and Chel.
The main pairings are Miguel/Tulio, Tulio/Chel, Chel/Miguel and the threesome Chel/Miguel/Tulio. Various crossover pairings also appear in different types of fanworks, especially when crossovered with other DreamWorks and Disney films.

===Fan Theories===
* Many fans believe that Miguel and Tulio are Tangled's Flynn Rider's fathers due to how alike the characters look and act. Various fanworks and headcanons portray this.http://katiefellover.tumblr.com/post/50515771838/google-you-complete-me http://game--of--fandoms.tumblr.com/post/51111487336/this-is-one-of-the-best-things-ive-ever-seen-d http://fuckyeahtheroadtoeldorado.tumblr.com/post/85596406137/why-eugene-is-definitely-miguel-and-tulios-son (archive lacks content)http://maplekyu.tumblr.com/post/65518655341/mind-blown This sometimes leads to Altivo and Maximus being somehow related as well.
* Another very good theory (which seems to be a great crossover idea) is that Miguel and Tulio somehow became gods - or not - and had a child, this being Kuzco from the animated film The Emperor's New Groove. Partly due to the great similarities in humor, genre and style between the characters and the works cited. It became popular as a light joke among some Latin American fans.
