The Road to El Dorado is Gay!?

article image placeholderAn actual shot from the film by @Charlieri
So the other day, I was letting on the best information about the children's film that rotate El Dorado. And the information is that Miguel and Julio, the two men were originally written as as a gay couple. Dreamworks saw this and when obviously we can't have them as a couple. But we can just chop these things out and see how it goes. So they chop the sort of the filler the romantic moments out of the story

Something fantastic I found out the other day

And it doesn't surprise me that they cut it out because of course they would. That's just what a big company is going to do. They're not going to have too gay or two queer leads, but I definitely need to rewatch it now with that in mind and try and see if I can pick up on the bits that they missed, where the queerness comes through

Hello and welcome to Swell. I find it really interesting that the film was actually a flop, like it was technically a flop. It didn't make enough. And I think the kind of the plot and the kind of lack of any sort of development in between probably is because of that. But then I know lots of people, mostly adults, who do really like the film

Sadly, it did not make any money. I think if it made some money and not flopped as it did, it could have been really easy to spin off into a series and have shorter episodes where la, like three of them go off and explore different places and find lost civilizations
