You know, when you think about it, the 2016 BFG movie is a live-action reboot of an animated movie that isn't Disney. Also, EL DORADO!!!

2026-11-10 05:00 The reason Dohl hates Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (or at least why I theorize) is because it's SOOO different from the book. It works as a movie, but it differs in so many ways (especially the end and Charlie with the fizzy lifting drinks). I actually think Charlie and the Chocolate Facotry (the one everyone hates) would be the prefered version since it's much closer to the book.

Fun fact, Dahl actually wrote the screenplay for the 1971 version. Unfortunately, another writer was hired on to make some tweaks here and there. Dahl was upset and director Mel Stuart made a personal visit to his house with the new script. The story goes like this. Dahl took the script from his hands, closed the door and left Mel outside for a good hour and then Dahl came out putting the script back into his hands and said ok. My theory is that maybe he pictured the alterations to be different in his mind and they didn't come executed to his tastes. It was said he wanted Spike Milligan to play Wonka. Regardless, that's Hollywod folks!

Yay!!! I'm excited about The Road to El Dorado! In my opinion, it is the most underrated Dreamworks film out of all of them! I mean, yeah The Prince of Egypt is great and technically a better movie than Road to El Dorado, but Road to El Dorado doesn't deserve to be looked over either.

Oh my god! ROAD TO El DORADO! It always boggles my mind that critics didn't like it. Its one of the most underrate Dreamworks films. I mean everyone knows Prince of Egypt is great, that's a given. But they didn't make a whole lot of hand drawn films, and Sinbad is alright. But hell yeah El Dorado with Kevin Kline and Kenneth Branugh!

I didn't expect this film to be good. Well, I might check it out at one point. Also, can't wait for Miguel and Tulio

The road to El Dorado is next!

Dreamworks probably wishes Road to El Dorado had the audience now that it did then. They wanted the film to serve as the kick off to a massive franchise but it bombed. Today, probably in part due to Netflix, the film has a massive cult following.
