Director: Eric Bergeron, Will Finn
Producer: Brooke Breton, Bonne Radford
Studio: Dreamworks Animation
Awards: Broadcast Film Critics Association Award for Best Composer (2001)

The opening scenefor The Road to El Dorado starts off as many animated features do with a regular day. The movie's two protagonists are portrayed getting up to mischeif and we as the audience get he feeling that being chased by halk the town is a regular occurance for them. we also meet the main antagonist who is always shot from a lower angle to make him seem large and fearful. Techniques used include humour, music and a fast-paced chase scene that keeps the vewers interested and expecting an action filled story. the main plot-line is setup quickly with a map to Elderado being intorduced within the first few minutes of the scene, and as predicted the characters Miguel and Tulio have already got themselves into trouble with Hernan Cortes.
