The Road to El Dorado

The Road to El Dorado Trivia

A series of sequels featuring Miguel, Tulio, Chel, Altivo and even the armadillo going after other legends about gold was planned, similar to the Shrek series, but following the disappointing box-office results they were immediately canceled.
The name of the Spanish general in the movie is Cortes, but in real life the man who tried to find El Dorado was Gonzalo Pizarro.
The armadillo that follows Miguel and Tulio throughout is named Bibo, after co-director Bibo Bergeron.
Tzekel-Kan's sacred book contains a picture of a man fishing from the moon, a parody of the Dreamworks logo.
Voice artists in animated movies usually record their parts alone, with no other actors in the studio with them. In a break with this tradition, Kevin Kline and Kenneth Branagh recorded their dialogue together.
