The Road To Eldorado (2000) *
It’s hard to believe that Jeffrey Katzenberg, the guy behind the best Disney pics of the early 90’s, could have produced such a sub-standard, instantly forgettable animated feature. The story of two Spanish adventurers trying to find gold in America is fine, dialogues are amusing and there are some nice gags - but the poor quality of animation, the sluggish pacing, and the barely-serviceable musical numbers wreck the whole enterprise. Directed by Eric Bergeron and Don Paul. With the voices of Kevin Kline, Kenneth Branagh and Rosie Perez.
