somewhere between the soul and soft machine

The Road to El Dorado (2000) dir. Eric “Bibo” Bergeron and Don Paul

I will only accept a live-action Road to El Dorado movie if its directed by Taika Watiti bye

Do you have any idea how much chaotic gay energy a movie like that would have

9am saturday morning: “i’ve got the whole day, i’m gonna get so much done”

1pm saturday afternoon: still in my pajamas, on my 4th cup of coffee, deep in thought about generic subversion, censorship, and post-colonialism in 2000 animated gay romance “the road to el dorado”

It took me 12 years to go frame by frame and realize that weird lag I had always noticed was Tulio pausing to kiss Miguel before pushing him off the cliff in a desperate attempt to save their lives…

MY SHIP IS UNSINKABLE

“The Road to El Dorado: Miguel & Tulio: The original script had them be lovers, calling each other ‘darling’ and such. Although the idea was shot down, they left in scenes where you can kind of tell what they were pushing for.”

pandalolli:

Don’t

fucking get me started

on my gay analysis

of El fucking Dorado

^This part is subtle and often missed. At the end, when Tulio and Miguel are reunited, they run to hug each other and Altivo interrupts just as Tulio has his hand on his pal’s waist.

All gifs here made by me because SACRIFICES! I actually have hundreds more to make but who knows if I’ll ever finish—especially since my hard drive kaboomed and I lost my perfectly organized clips.

Edit: AHH IMAGES FIXED. SO SORRY ABOUT THAT.  Some of you have been asking for further analysis. I direct you to a fic study I did on their relationship in the movie: The Magnificent.

not ashamed of this piece of #art I made

the road to el dorado

“The original script of The Road to El Dorado called for Miguel and Tulio to be lovers, calling each other “Darling” and such. Although the idea was eventually shot down, several scenes remain in the film where this is apparent.“

Chris Pine as Miguel Orlando Bloom as Tulio Rihanna as Chel

precious boys ~~~ <3

Get to know me: [1/15] - Favourite ships: ↳ Tulio and Miguel

in another round of me suffering in dreamcast hell, i cant stop thinking about daveed diggs and lin manuel miranda as tulio and miguel (respectively) 

This movie is the perfect example of why a bard and a rogue should never leave the party and go off on their own adventure.
