What I loved the most about her, she knows she’s beautiful and can manipulate the guys, specifically Tulio, she’s not a shallow bimbo. She wants to find a life outside of El Dorado. And she actually falls for Tulio, genuinely.
She's a real girl with a personality and motivation. No way can you have anyone be shamelessly sexy like her nowadays. People would lose their fucking mind and try to erase this version of her now, all while making a shitty live action reboot and pretending that was the original.
Thats the thing about what makes DreamWorks movies so good back then, because they want to include the adults to watch these movies so that they can be entertained, so they put subtle signs of what these characters are doing, such as the scene where Chel is giving my mans tulio some sloppy seconds XD these guys are geniuses.
Recently, I watched this movie for the first time. And really liked it. I love the animation. Also, I wish companies would bring back hand drawn animation. Also, Chel is very beautiful.
The hand drawn animation still looks amazing. And I have no idea how they were able to get away with making her that thicc and with that outfit. I still love the “where was she keeping them?” Line
@@susanwjoh0re735I don't think it's due to "wokeness" but this would definitely qualify more as a movie for adults these days with how blatant the sex jokes are. If I were making this movie, I'd feel like a weirdo advertising this as a movie for kids.
@@susanwjoh0re735 No, I enjoy the movie, it's not bad. It's just that I think if the movie were to be made these days, it'd be rated for older audiences.

@@derkturtle7191 I mean, dude's got LJN as his profile picture. and if you've seen a single episode of AVGN, you know that LJN is *not* an attractive quality to have lol
@@alysssabear wow so offended already? Go back to kindergarden. It’s only “one of the greatest animations” to you, because you don’t know the time when animations like those were launched by the dozens every year. And again, you don’t put the market factor into account.
I love that they didn't write Chel to be some basic empowered female character. They gave her a very interesting angle: she's just as much of a con artist as Miguel and Tulio and is all in on whatever scam they're planning, and can often be ten steps ahead of them when they're not seeing the bigger picture, having a double advantage in that she's a part of a culture that Miguel and Tulio aren't familiar with and thus has to often walk them through her customs. Not only that, but she's so sassy and snarky, but can share loads of sympathy for those she cares for. She's brimming with personality and she really plays off the two men very well. They have great chemistry. Yes, she's also a sex symbol (by God those hips don't lie) but in this case, it really is all what's underneath that sultry look that makes her so memorable and likeable. That and the character animation for her is just so smooth. Edit: by "basic empowered female character" I meant a woman character who is virtually flawless, never loses, and never makes mistakes. Now, when I say that I only mean a select few, a more notable example being Mulan from the 2021 Disney live-action remake. Not every strong female character is written this way, and not many are written this way neither (despite what certain alt right macho man sexist grifting troll tubers will tell you). There are several exceptions that come to my mind when I think of this trope when it's done right: Rey Skywalker (SW ST), Jennifer Walters/She-Hulk (She-Hulk: Attorney at Law), Galadriel (LOTR: ROP) etc. Just to name a few. That's it. Just wanted to make this disclaimer.
Well said! Chel is one of the best woman characters in all of animation. In the 90s and early 2000s, Dreamworks and Disney had some great toon ladies overall.
I think another neat aspect of her character is that SHE sought a relationship and tried to woo another character; because most stories have a guy try to "get the girl." I think it gave her more depth and agency, while also breaking convention of the man making the first move, giving a freer representation of sexuality.
Yep, and what made Chel even greater is that her agenda doesn't fully align to neither of the duo, especially Tulio's, driving him crazy. And I've been thinking about her motivations, and I believe are quite simple: to enrich herself to get out of El Dorado and live her own adventures in either of the close by cities, and she wasn't interested in getting rich if she couldn't enjoy herself on it.
When movies actually wrote good female characters. Tbh that was until stuff got infected and now its all crap female characters but any compliant means you are sexist........ smh
As someone who seen this movie a good number of times as a kid, I memorized pretty much every soundtrack. and to this day I often have movie soundtracks in my head.
Ok all jokes aside she’s hella gorgeous and her personality deserves more attention. I do like her not just for her appearance but in personality, she’s smart, funny, seductive, crafty & cheeky.
What really sold the movie were the expressions, especially Chel's. And it's quite rare, especially lately, to have female eye candies to be this fleshed out and expressive.
The way this is animated is a1. How they brought the Ancient Mayans to life is so underrated. I don’t know if it’s Mayans actually but it’s rare we see that time period portrayed like this. Dream Works masterpiece along with Prince of Egypt are my all time favorite movies.
There are elements from Aztec, Maya and Inca culture alike but, in my opinion, most of it nevertheless points to the Maya, e.g. the Maya hieroglyphs, the sacred cenote (well), Xibalba, the ball game.
@@luanlopes9415 No, the movie combines elements from all pre-Columbian cultures. For example the Incas did not have a writing system or a ball game. Mayan: xibalba, ball game, glyphs, Jaguar Warrior. Inca: mountains like the Andes, throwing off a cliff.

Welllll specifically she falls under that line of the “Sexual native” that people have coined and pinned the blame on pop culture since the 40’s. Basically in order for a brown girl to be attractive, she needs to be highly sexualize, and partially nude.. Look at Disney’s pocahauntas
*"Originally, the story was conceived as a dramatic film due to Katzenberg's penchant for large-scale animated films, which conflicted with the film's lighthearted elements. This version of the story had Miguel initially conceived as a raunchy Sancho Panza-like character who died, but came back to life so much that the natives assumed he was a god, as well as steamier love sequences and scanty clothing designed for Chel. However, while The Prince of Egypt was in production, Katzenberg decided that their next animated project should be a departure from its serious, adult approach, and desired for the film to be an adventure comedy. Additionally, the romance was toned down, and new clothing was designed for Chel."*
not even exaggeration is the build of certain ethnic groups women like that included it, cause theres few different builds or archtypes for certain ethnic groups. all versions look good glad he put detail into it@@NightTimeDay
I just had a thought but This Character is a perfect reminder of how people use Religion to serve their own personal needs. Which is why it won’t matter how big a religion you carry what matters is in the heart
Damn straight! She’s the only reason anyone even REMEMBERED this movie! Seriously! If people wanted to watch a treasure hunt film, they’d look up Indiana Jones!

How the hell did dreamworks get away with that?
DSLs, homie
Plus he ain't even making any smooching noises
She had no business being that damn fine...I blame her for my accelerated development as a child lol
What do you mean by dat ? 👀😏
Decelerated
I personally think Chel was one of the reasons I had crushes on Latinas growing up.
"Accelerated development."
As if she didn't make people devolve by millions of years.
Props to the animators for being able to create such a classic character with only one hand
So original
Since when do you draw with two hands
The Road to Chel Dorado is one of my favorite movies of all time.
Such a wholesome, family friendly movie.
You Keep Telling Yourself That
“Oh like you don’t want me to want to go to Spain”
This movie is so iconic
Early 90/2000 animators knew exactly what worked.
this movie is love even in 2023.
She’s so cuteeeee, her personality is so adorable
*"Originally, the story was conceived as a dramatic film due to Katzenberg's penchant for large-scale animated films, which conflicted with the film's lighthearted elements. This version of the story had Miguel initially conceived as a raunchy Sancho Panza-like character who died, but came back to life so much that the natives assumed he was a god, as well as steamier love sequences and scanty clothing designed for Chel. However, while The Prince of Egypt was in production, Katzenberg decided that their next animated project should be a departure from its serious, adult approach, and desired for the film to be an adventure comedy. Additionally, the romance was toned down, and new clothing was designed for Chel."*
"The romance was toned down"
Chel's positioning during the "makeout" session didn't fool anyone.
We could've gotten a sexier version of chel???
@@ispentalldayatYT 🥵
@@ispentalldayatYT I'm sure the concept art is out there, just remember to take out the search history
@@ispentalldayatYT She would've worn a poncho and nothing else. You can look it up as "chel concept art".
Chel is the pinnacle and pure essence of latinamerican beauty ❤
Omg we need another film like this
0:57
Look at Chel’s little smile, she’s so grateful
The creator of her design had a clear preference and I respect the hell out of it
It's no preference, it's just an exaggeration of the signs of health/ fertility in a woman
not even exaggeration is the build of certain ethnic groups women like that included it, cause theres few different builds or archtypes for certain ethnic groups. all versions look good glad he put detail into it@@NightTimeDay
Dreamworks KNEW 100% what they were doing when they designed her. Seeing this movie as an adult hits you differently. 🤣
Too sad we cant have animation movies like this anymore.
Chel is a Perfect Reminder of who Good our Childhoods were
legit she''s hypnotizing
This is my favourite video on UA-cam
God damn dude, chel had some insane legs on her, i love her overall bodytype vibe. Short stack with a pear shape.
Chel awakened quite a lot of things in me when I was a kid.
I just had a thought but This Character is a perfect reminder of how people use Religion to serve their own personal needs. Which is why it won’t matter how big a religion you carry what matters is in the heart
Ahhh, my first cartoon crush 😭
Chel is the only reason I liked this movie as a thicc
*as a kid
@@piikaachu bruh
Damn straight!
She’s the only reason anyone even REMEMBERED this movie!
Seriously!
If people wanted to watch a treasure hunt film, they’d look up Indiana Jones!
Who _didn't_ enjoy this movie solely for Chel as a thicc as a kid?
In my case as a lovable character herself
