The Road to El Dorado: Difference between revisions

Line 36:

** [[Justified Trope]]: They wrote special animation software to make the gold look "gold" rather than merely "yellow".

* [[Contrived Coincidence]]: The guy the duo gambles against happens to have a map to El Dorado just as the Spanish Fleet is leaving for South America, the duo happen to wash up right on its shores after days adrift at sea, and a volcanic eruption happens (and cancels itself) just as the duo are asked for proof of their divinity.

* [[Convection Schmonvection]]

* [[Convection, Schmonvection]]

* [[Cue the Rain]]: When Miguel and Tulio are adrift at sea with no food or water.

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Tulio, Miguel, and Chel. Well, it is a film about the sidekicks instead of the heroes...

Line 63:

* [[Femme Fatale]]: Chel.

* [[Feud Episode]]: Tulio and Miguel nearly split up over Tulio's relationship with Chel.

* [[Flynning]]: Justified when Tulio and Miguel do it deliberately during a [[Slice and Dice Swordsmanship|(mostly) slice and dice rapier swordfight]] with each other, then reveal it's all an act to avoid being arrested.

* [[Flynning]]: Justified when Tulio and Miguel do it deliberately during a [[Slice-and-Dice Swordsmanship|(mostly) slice and dice rapier swordfight]] with each other, then reveal it's all an act to avoid being arrested.

{{quote| '''Tulio:''' Ladies and gentlemen, we've decided it's a draw!<br />

'''Miguel:''' Thank you all for coming! You've been great, see you soon!<br />

Line 79:

* [[God Guise]]: The basis of most of the plot. C'mon, it's a [[Mayincatec]] classic.

* [[God Test]]: The Doradans challenge the explorers to a ballgame... two gods against 15 mortals.

* [[Gone Swimming Clothes Stolen]]: By monkeys!

* [[Gone Swimming, Clothes Stolen]]: By monkeys!

* [[Gratuitous Spanish]]

* [[Hair of Gold]]: Miguel fits almost every aspect of the male version.

Line 120:

* [[Kick the Dog]]: Tzekel-Kan sacrifices his loyal but [[Dumb Muscle|not-too-bright]] right hand man to fuel a spell.

* [[Knight Templar]]: Tzekel-Kan wants to purge the city of, what he believes, the wicked and unrighteous citizens of El Dorado.

* [[Last Second Word Swap]]:

* [[Last-Second Word Swap]]:

** "Holy... Ship!"

** Tulio: "...free from any tempta-- uh, ''distractions''..."

Line 143:

* [[Nice Girl]]: Chel

* [[Non-Human Sidekick]]: Altivo the warhorse, and the armadillo to a lesser extent.

* [[Non Singing Voice]]: Averted; the main characters have the same voice actors for speaking and singing.

* [[Non-Singing Voice]]: Averted; the main characters have the same voice actors for speaking and singing.

* [[Noodle Incident]]:

** Mentioned by Miguel when he thinks he and Tulio are going to die.

Line 153:

* [[Not in The Face]]: Tulio while [[Flynning]].

{{quote| '''Tulio:''' ''(whispers)'' Not the face, not the face...}}

* [[The Not Secret]]: {{spoiler|The Chief knew that Tulio and Miguel weren't gods.}}

* [[The Not-Secret]]: {{spoiler|The Chief knew that Tulio and Miguel weren't gods.}}

* [[Not So Great Escape]]: Takes on a pronounced [[Zig Zagging Trope|zig zag]] through the beginning of the film: Miguel and Tulio avoid arrest through impressive [[Flynning]] only to fall into a bull pen. They make a dramatic exit with the bull mowing down some of their pursuers, jumping off of a high wall into open barrels full of water to elude the others. They pull the lids over themselves, only to be hoisted aboard a ship bound for the New World and have a large, heavy chest piled on top to keep them from getting out. At sea, the chest is removed, and they emerge dramatically in full view of the crew, promptly locked in irons for an involuntary audience with Cortez. They are thrown in the brig as stowaways and presumably flogged, eventually sneaking out in the dead of night with the help of [[All Animals Are Dogs|Altivo's fetching skills.]] After another dramatic escape when Altivo jumps overboard, all three wind up at sea in a rowboat, dying of starvation and thirst. Fortunately, they miraculously beach themselves a stone's throw away from a landmark in their [[Treasure Map|map to El Dorado]].

* [[Nubile Savage]]: Chel.

* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]: Around the middle of the movie {{spoiler|Chief Tannabok hints that he already suspected that Miguel and Tulio weren't gods}}. He probably chooses not to divulge this because the "gods"' presence weakened the high priest's power and put a stop to human sacrificing, which he was clearly against. The fact they were pretty fun anyway probably helped.
