Oh my gosh, yes! That captures their relationship perfectly!

My favorite bit? "Information overload." It made me laugh! I also love how you put those clips together of Chell kissing them both. It makes for an unsentimental heartwarming moment among all the hilarious moments you put together. The ending builds so wonderfully, too! Just perfect, thank you. ♥

I keep getting reminders lately that I should watch this movie! It looks very pretty, and the vid makes me curious to learn more about the plot details.

Ah ha ha ha ha! Hilariously apt song choice. This is such a fun vid; it reminds me of how much I enjoyed the movie.

This is COMPLETELY AWESOME. I'm still giggling; I love how you made the song work perfectly for the movie, and the clip choices and editing are very smooth and well chosen; I especially liked the bit with the spinning dice where the music slows down. Shake the glitter, indeed! I can't wait for reveals because I want a higher-quality download of this! :D

[missbreese]

So. Much. Fun! Best friends FTW! I've seen this movie so many times, I love its catty quirk and bratty enthusiasm and that is so awesomely captured here!

[leanwellback]

Stuff keeps popping up lately that makes me want to watch this film, but nothing so much as this vid! It's just so much fun! I love the editing and how strongly the relationships come across. Great job!

[nancybrown]

Oh! That was so much fun!

The Road to El Dorado is based on the old Bob Hope "Road to.." movies. Miguel (the blond, ditzy one) and Tulio (the brunet, crafty one) are Spanish con artists who accidentally stow away on one of Hernan Cortez's ships. After being discovered and thrown overboard, they make their way to El Dorado and convince the natives that they're gods (except for Chell, the awesome one with the hips, who figures them out because you can't con an con). Then the fun starts.

The movie is basically what happens when you let the comic relief sidekicks from a Disney movie have their own film. It is also the gayest thing ever to gay. (No, really, even the voice actors [Kenneth Branaugh and Kevin Kline] thought the plot only made sense if Tulio and Miguel were doing it.) I highly recommend it.

I love this.

[paxpinnae]

You know, I never would have thought that Katy Perry and TRtED would go well together, but hey! They do! (Actually, you could probably also make a pretty good vid to I Kissed A Girl and I Liked It with Tulio as the narrator, but this one is better.) I love your clip choices and music matches, especially the retrospective during the bridge and the big climax with the falling die and the ship smashing into the pillars. The strategic use of Miguel's bitchfaces and Tulio's tendency to get smacked in the head is also quite good.

Tl;dr - this vid made me very happy and is going on my "vids that make me happy" playlist as soon as I can download it. Thank you!

[chagrined]

Thanks! :D

Oh, man, great song for this film. So delightful! Basically every moment with Chel was great, I <3 her. Also Altivo rolling his eyes. That horse is probably smarter than both of them.

Awww, so glad that someone did an El Dorado vid! <333 Really cool song choice, and I liked the "hung over" and "information overload" clips, and also that moment during the break where you did that montage of the guys falling intercut with the toppling dominoes and the spinning dice. Really cool.

This is adorable and now I want to see this movie!

[franzeska]

I love what you did with the dice.

[bedlamsbard]

Aww, this is so much fun! Must watch the movie again.

Thank you--I'm so glad you liked it! :)

[some_stars]

I'm glad you liked it--thanks for commenting! :) You should totally watch the movie, it's a lot of fun.

[some_stars]

Yeah, I got the song idea a few minutes after getting my assignment, and there was no turning back. *g* Thanks for commenting!

[some_stars]

Thanks so much! :)

[some_stars]

Thank you! I also, clearly, adore this movie, and I'm glad I could capture some of its joy for you.

[some_stars]

Thank you! I'm very happy you liked it--and you should totally watch the movie, it's awesome.

[some_stars]

Thank you!

[some_stars]

Yay, thanks! :)

[some_stars]

Thanks so much--the song was pretty much destined for this purpose, I feel. :) I'm glad you liked it!

[some_stars]

Chel is SO AWESOME. I feel like I should make a second vid entirely about her, because there wasn't room for NEARLY enough Chel in this vid. If I ever find a song, I'm totally doing it. Thank you for commenting! :)

[some_stars]

Thank you! :)

[some_stars]

Yay, thank you! You should totally see the movie, it's so much fun.

[some_stars]

Thank you! I admit, that was one of my favorite parts, myself. I'm glad you liked it. :)

[some_stars]

Thank you! Yes, watch the movie again, it will definitely bring you happiness. :)
