I don't know why they thought this movie was a good idea
You need to talk about Skylanders Academy
They were probably smoking that nut pack saber
Is any movie you review good
Finally, a true Moana rip-off!
They were dumb to do this, it's absolutely horrible
WHY DOES HE LOOK LIKE TULIO FROM ROAD TO EL DORADO
Omg he does
I was thinking he looked like Flynn Rider from Tangled, personally.
Because... IT'S TOUGH TO BE A GOD!

During that time before the westerners arrived most probably your islets are uninhabited jungles and when native people decided to live there, they are only living on their tiny bubble. Complex society formed when the Europeans arrived and gave you hispanic surnames (which you used to falsely claim you have european ancestry 🤣 but you are 101% austronesian), religion, tax system, education, alphabets, literature, sense of nationalism so that your divided archipelago and people united under one flag. If not for Spain you are one of the province of indonesia and bends 4 times a day to mecca lol 🇪🇸 🇪🇸 🇪🇸
this looks like walmart version of Pocahontas
There are “Walmart” level Pocahontas movies- ones that make Disney’s version look like a documentary.
But the main character looks like Eugene from Tangled
Nah it’s the Walmart version of The Road to El Dorado. I mean Saber compares it to it a few times and it genuinely has similar vibes in ways.
More like palengke ver.
It's more of a Walmart version of El Dorado getting beat and slapped by the dollar store Pocahontas
Why can’t schools teach history like you? The knowledge would actually stick.
Exactly holy shit, how do so many history teachers manage to make history so dull?? History, honest to god one of the most interesting subjects of all.
I wish for a future where teachers develop sick video-editing skills on their programs of choice so they could add anime sound effects to historical wars and the Battle of Waterloo
because yes
Scrofar I had a honors history teacher sophomore year who ran the anime club and put memes that weren’t cringe in lessons and anime sound effects when changing slides. I didn’t get them but the students who were into anime were really happy so it was cool.
I admit he explains it I n the easiest way i can comptehend..
This thread is "first world problems"
13:47 Frick, the "boat" did not even look native. Usually our boats have these extra appendages on each sides to act as balance when sailing out to sea.
I was thinking the same thing
Cebu/Mactan has a very complicated relationship with Magellan. There is a large monument around what is supposed place where Magellan planted the first cross in the country. Kinda touristy. It brings in a lot of money. The first time I was there, we had lunch at a restaurant called Magellan's Landing.
At the same time, they are very proud of Lapu Lapu for killing the bastard. The area is still very Catholic though. It's kind of incongruous.
Culture and religion do not necessarily (though often do) correlate and the actions of the members of some do not tell the overall value of the whole.
Actually, a lot of leaders favored Christianity and the Spaniards, it was simply that Magellan and his crew rightfully hated for the fact that he's ignorant enough to meddle with Filipino politics. For why the leaders liked Christianity would be the same way they invited Buddhism and Islam in certain ares, simply out of curiosity and enjoyment for foreign education/scriptures.
"At the same time, they are very proud of Lapu Lapu for killing the bastard. The area is still very Catholic though. It's kind of incongruous."

4:01 the fact that I loved that movie when I was younger-
As a filipino, our ancestors don't even dress like that. We have our own version of tunic shirts. Pre-colonial drip is more clothing and more variations of color than what this movie showed.
Fun/not fun (?) fact from my AP world history class last year!
The reason he immediately started trying to convert the natives is because at the time, one of the sort of ‘reasonings’ for colonizing lands was to “save” natives (or really just anyone they could overpower) by forcibly converting them to the colonizer’s religion (in this case, Christianity). It was to the point monarch’s and missionaries would fund these expositions.
(If I don’t have all the details right I’m sorry there’s a reason I got a 4 on the test and not a perfect 5)

Lapu-Lapu: wanna meet jesus?

@@viscountrainbows6452 this is big brain time.
Those were actual movies. El Dorado is brilliant, only to be criminally underrated. While Pocahontas is inaccurate, that doesn't mean its not a decent love story with some great songs. Films you can actually enjoy even tho Pocahantas isnt all that devoted to the Powhatan culture. Stephen Schwartz is a total genius btw.
@@mrsinister8978 el dorado is amazing
@@DoReMela yes it is.
here's something to understand why we filipinos aren't into this film.
colonizers invaded our country and burned every semblance of our culture and history, made themselves at home, and put us through 500+ years of pain. because of them, we know little of our original language, forcing us to learn the english alphabet and inserting bits and pieces of their own language for us to use. and that's the least most damning thing they did.
now they're trying to glorify those people who started the whole mess, acting as if they're doing us a favor by making this film in the first place.
TLDR, this is pocahontas all over again. if any of you want an actually interesting show that features filipino characters and filipino culture, try Trese. it's an anime, and we filipinos love it a lot, give it a try.
Not only the show, but the original Trese books should also be recommended to anyone interested!
Just wanted to correct you on the 500+ years of oppression. It was only 333 years or so, but your point still stands. Filipinos were put below the Spaniards and eradicated our culture and history.
To be fair this is a Spanish film so I’m not sure why you thought Filipinos would like it.

Ye that movie was ak
My mom made me stop watching that movie because they said hell LMAO
Yeah me too for both parts
as a filipino i have watched many plays that depict this particular part of our history, if i remember correctly. houses before did not have locks because we respected each other's belongings and that woman are treated equally, so when the Spaniards set fire to the houses. if i remember correctly Lapu-lapu said that they were cowards to battle at night when the enemies were sleeping and instead shouldve challenged and fought them at broad day light to show some balls.
@Michelle Yeah, the Aztecs were really big on human rights…
Iirc, I read in another version, he thought to himself that they must be savages from the mountains, (like apes, might I add) doing that in the middle of the night. And then...the rest is history.

Lapu-Lapu, a badass man, defending his land to his last breath, seen as a bad guy, **visual confusion**
honestly, the only good thing about this film is that now I want to research about Lapu-Lapu and everything else much more in detail. I'm Spanish and we were never taught about him (i didn't even know about his existence) or anything more than 'yeah so these boats set sail and a lot of people died and then Magallan died and Elcano was the captain and went back to Spain and there were some colonization attempts and massacres and battles in between"
Miriam MP Funfact:
theres alot of misconceptions about lapu-lapu being the one who killed magellan, it was not him but one of his people. He was just the leader
Yandere
I had no idea he even existed... in fact I had no idea who the hell was Magellan... the only guys they teach us about would be the British arriving with the Gayflower... and Christopher Columbus discovering America, while thinking it was India... i mean, what the hell was he drinking besides grog and rum?

@@DDoubleEDouble El Dorado is supposed to be a mix between Aztec and Mayan while also being its own culture. So, there's really no inaccuracies.
The best takeaway I've gotten from this video is that the first person to actually circumnavigate the whole planet turned out to be a slave who, in the end, not only got to witness his slaver get absolutely annihilated by Lapu-Lapu, but also got to go home.
God, I hope Enrique lived a happy life.
Honestly the story would have been infinitely more interesting from Enrique's perspective.
came for the controversy, left with a good history lesson
Edit: [insert annoying comment about the likes I got]
Bren Tenkage yes
It's a win-win.
Same lol
I agree.
When a youtuber teaches better than teachers
Looks atrocious. The Filipino outfits were not researched at all. I guess they figured one precolonial tribe of brown people looked like like any other. Also just because these were the first Europeans the Filipinos saw it doesn't mean that they were the first foreigners to the archipelago. When the Spanish arrived they noticed that the Filipinos had been trading metals, spices, pottery and other valuables from other sea trading empires like China for decades if not centuries before. And lastly Magellan died because he wanted to show off his bravado to a chief and decided to meddle in Filipino politics. His men left him to die as they watched him get massacred by Lapu Lapu's forces from the boat because by that time most of his crew was fed up with him and just wanted to go home.
true, we Filipinos have a preserved manuscript that shows the ancient dresses. The "Filipino" here looks like damned similar to the Mayans
Damn I didn’t realize they were trading with china
"Fed up with him and just wanted to go home" so even his men hated him? Lmaooooo
@@exudeku There's the Boxer Codex which were filled with illustrations of Filipinos people and other Southeast Asian ad East Asian groups illustrated by Spanish artists. Granted there are some tangents as to how accurate they were, especially their depictions of Chinese clothes, but their artworks of Filipinos definitely shows the movie doesn't resembled them whatsoever.
The fact this men just ditched Magellan during the battle because they were DONE is hilarious

KougaTintinFan Yeah. At least with Road to El Dorado, we weren’t following the story of historical characters (I mean, Cortés is in the movie, but we don’t really get to see any of his ventures, he’s just a story device for our main characters). Miguel and Tulio are completely made up, and it just so happens that the story takes place in colonial times, that’s it. It’s hard to adapt the lives of these colonizers in a kid’s movie because then you have to sacrifice historical accuracy for the sake of censorship, and nobody wants that.
agreed
im from the philippines and almost all kids have this story memorized in their heads because of filipino schools. and as a filipino,
I declare this movie, OFFENSIVE
I was actually surprised when I found out this is about a journey to the Philippines (yeah, I don't know much about Magellan, sorry) because the native characters on the poster look like they're straight out of Road to El Dorado. I mean, most of them don't even look Philippino, they look native American.
YES! im Filipino and history lover so i was realy pissed!
Me too. Filipino people almost look like malay people and they pitcure em like a native american
im filipino but this one is in my reccomendation and i saw lapu lapu as the main antagonist in the movie i was
confused and i dont even know who to trust
Yeah I actually know about Magellan but the design of the filipinos character made me re-think everything and doubt what I learnt about him. I had a "Oh I guess he did some things in central america or something actually" moment.

I'm from Spain and I love animation, and I remember going to the cinema, I was going to watch a different movie, but there weren't empty seats.
At the cinema, with my friends, we look out... Is another movie, at these time, at these place... "Elcano y Magallanes" was there.
We stare at the poster, and we just say "it looks boring" "yes, and I don't think is accurate" "ice-cream?" And we left.
Best decision
Company: oh god we have to fix this poster so it doesn't look offensive *slaps on a dude who looks like an antisemitic political cartoon*
It only gets worse when you discover that one of the insults Spaniards said to the Portuguese during the rule of the Habsburgs was "marrano" (a Jew recently converted to Christianity). I highly doubt the guionists and animators knew this, but still, yikes.

Honestly, some people might say that us Filipinos are being exaggerated to our outrage, but one can't help but be angry when the hero that fought for our country be portrayed this way.
Not saying that Filipinos were the only one colonized, but I'm sure many will sympathise if their own heroes come off as a villain. And as a quote that I remember, in different perspectives of the victim and the attacker, you can either be the villain or the hero.
(Or maybe they're too evil that even their own countrymen doesn't approve)
Is portrayed like what? Like the guy who killed Magallanes? That's the only thing he did regarding what the film is about. This is not a film about the Philippines, but about the first circumnavigation of the world. The Philippines appears like 10 minutes max. You are outraged by actually depicting your nationalist myths about Lapu Lapu killing Magallanes.
@@goodaimshield1115Did you even watch the video? No matter how accurate or inaccurate this movie was, it’s still a blatant misrepresentation of reality sprinkled with racism
he was a hero that fought for your country as much as spainiards were heroes that fought for europe during the arab invasion or aztecs were heroes that fought for america, maybe even worse. Lapu lapu fought for himself because the spanish demanded he submit to his ally Rajah Humabon, who probably converted to christianism and allied with them precisely for that, he and the battle of mactan are stupdly romanticized. It was all a minor conflict that ultimately didn't change much since spain got most of the archipelago relatively fast anyway.
Like even saying "your people" is colonialist since at the time the philiphines was super disunited with dozens of languages and tribes and like 5 main religions, you were maybe even more diverse than the whole of europe. "Your people" is a concept that exists precisely because of the spanish colonization who united the isles, if it weren't for that you would be 12+ diferent countries. Correct me if I'm wrong but you couldn't even agree to wich name the philiphines should be changed because diferent langauges and ethincs had diferent views that were interpreted as racist by the others and just left it, that's how diferent you were a few decades ago after being united for centuries imagine if no colonization happened.
If you want a "hero that fought for your country" you should look at the people that fought for the independence against USA, japan and to a lesser point spain(to a lesser point because spain didn't put much of a fight since usa crushed them) not a local tribal cheiftain and warlord who managed to win a minor battle against an european expedition that had like 30 times less people than his army.

I don't know if that would work, history is blood deep within us and it would be hard to depict history if the history don't match up or there's something the other party wants to hide.
As a Filipino, I would say we would be really spitting the facts and being shady all about the *shit* we’ve experienced for 333 years with all that injustice, abusiveness, slavery, racism we have experience that without a doubt they have sugarcoated.

Additional fact: When they baptised Raja Humabon and his wife, they gave three religious gifts: the crucifix, the image of Mary, and the image of Santo Niño. This is why Santo Niño is the patron saint of Cebu and there is a festival celebrated in the introduction of the Catholic religion, called Sinulog Festival. It's the biggest religious festival in Cebu and one of the most celebrated festivals in the Philippines.
It's interesting because the Philippines a well known country that is dominated with the Catholic religion to this date.
Tama 😁
That baffled me though, if Filipino hated Spanish conquistadors so much why they embraced catholicism that much? I don't remember countries like Malaysia and Indonesia embraced Christianity that much
@@kos2919 I'm a Filipino and I'm not that sure. Though i would guess that it's because we've been a colony of Spain for 300 years and in that time it would've definitely ingrained into our culture.
Also one more thing i just wanted to add, the Philippines has a hodgepodge of cultures ingrained in it because we were colonised & occupied by many different countries. But yet our culture that we are proud of today, is the result of all the different countries that had occupied the Philippines.
@@kos2919 I think that's because Indonesia and Malaysia has already had a strong inclination to Islam which were introduced by the Arab merchants before the colonization happen.
@@kos2919 The Spanish practiced Divide it impera or divide and conquer strategy in their colonial ventures. Basically they took advantage of an existing political feud between the squabbling rajahs of the region. Magellan allied with Rajah Humabon and promised to aid him in fighting Lapu-Lapu by offering their cannons, weapons and manpower. In turn the ruling elite of Cebu were encouraged to convert to catholicism to cement an alliance with the Spanish. It was a conversion motivated by both military convenience and potential political social and economic benefits. Most of the various Filipino ethnic groups however protested this and didn't passively accept conversion. Throughout the history of the island numerous ethnic and religious revolts were waged in order to revert back to the old indigenous animistic religions. These were often led by spiritual leaders called Babaylan. Some notable revolts were the Tamblot uprising of 1621 in Bohol Island, Bankaw revolt of 1621 in Leyte Island, Itneg revolt of 1621, and numerous others. The Filipino masses didn't sit idly by and violently reacted to the imposition of the colonial religion unto the people, since catholicism was associated with the new colonial encomendia order and tax collection imposed on the Natives.

Spain: hey here's Jesus
Lapu Lapu: no
Lapu Lapu : Here's my spear
For the record, the Jesuit, Franciscan, and Dominican clergy that accompanied the Conquistadors were VERY vocally upset at the subhuman treatment of natives (there are letters of correspondence between them and the Vatican that go in depth about the matter) but since the church began to back out of politics during the renaissance they couldn't do much since the expeditions were commissioned by the crown.
On one hand people could get pissed that the church didn't do more in spite of this, and on the other people would complain about violating the separation of church and state. It's a lose lose situation, but the church saw Evangelism as the more worthwhile pursuit in the long run. They genuinely wanted to spread the faith, not conversion under threat of violence.
As such, unlike the conquistadors, the clergy STAYED in the colonies rather than coming back to Spain once they "got their spoils". In fact, that's not only a major factor that led not only to Catholicism being dominant in Hispanic countries, but also contributed to Spanish becoming the dominant language. After all, you can't teach the faith if they don't know what's being said or written. Likewise, there are a ton of Hispanic, Latino, and Mixed-Race Saints from said nations shortly afterwards who were readily canonized regardless of race or ethnic background.
It's exactly like the time I went with my friend to his sunday school one day when I was 10.
@@warbossgegguz679 in long term it's still doesn't bring good to the Christianity as a whole though. Younger generations saw what colonialists did to their ancestors and shy away from Christianity. That's also contributed to the raise of atheism in current era

good power to you, glad to hear some if not a lot of spanish who are in the filipino side in terms of justice

In some weird way, maybe some of the animators and directors for this movie intended for some cross dialogue between two separate cultures to come about. It’s just…the way that’s panned out maybe wasn’t exactly how they intended. Oh, there’s gonna be a cross cultural dialogue about this movie alright.

Just dropping my thoughts and criticism as a Filipino over here. The girl was a babaylan. So she's not just a girl that comes out of nowhere in the 3rd act of the film. She's an important character in pre-historic Philippines. Babaylans are the "messenger" to the spirits because in prehistoric Philippines, they believe in nature spirits and deities. So a babaylan sailing to Spain because of a man is very disrespectful on their move. Babaylans are very important to a tribe. Please for anyone who will be doing historic films, do proper research. And also regarding Lapu-Lapu looking like a villain is very bad thing on their part. They invaded our homeland and Lapu-Lapu and the tribe was only trying to protect the Philippines. Before these colonizers came we have our own culture and women were not looked down upon. Now look what they did? They destroyed a country's diverse culture, art and history because of gold and spices and more territory to flex to other countries.
Edit: Since this has gone (sort of) got a lot of likes, I hope this can be a conversation starter for people to talk about while being respectful to culture, history, and the communities involved.

Lmao not to mention a few decades later they basically made us slaves in our own country and called us indios (the n word for filipinos before)
And Magellan wasn't even just invading, he was trying to impress the other tribe which was essentially Lapu-Lapu's enemy and flex on him, Lapu-Lapu had every right to attack back lmfao

@@mmyr8ado.360 And the reason why Spaniard colonized the Philippines is because they wanted to seek some silver and gold as a treasure.

This movie screams "Let's see how much we can offend Filipino Historians"
I watched the trailer for this film (for research paper reasons), and Lapu-Lapu WAS shown in the trailer, except all of his "lines" were just grunts and a bunch of angry gibberish (I'm Filipino and none of those words sounded anything close to what would actually be spoken within the country) .

Well by peacefully, there were still a few tribe battles here and there.
@Michelle Still not living peacefully. Believe it or not, native people were capable of violence and warfare.
Belief in the noble savage is pretty cringe.
a yes the classic a few dozen chad europeans subdued millions of pacifist natives that never did anything bad and also were a single unit and not dozens of diferent cultures that waged war and tradeed with each other. It's not like lapu lapu had a known rivalry with the spanish allied Rajah Humabon and that was the reason of the battle that killed magallanes.
As a Filipino it’s kinda sad how this is the way we’re being portrayed in media (since we don’t get portrayed a lot anyways) this makes me sad
bc uninteresting and nothing to be pulled off either from history or today
Magellan's voyage was the only time Filipinos were truly recognized internationally, since it depicted the death of the one who led the voyage. The only time we were almost close to that same recognition was Manuel L. Quezon's acts in the world wars. It's shit how we're being portrayed yes.

This movie was made because in 2019 was the celebration of the 500 year of Magalhães trip and i think it should have been mention in the review . An animated film from the Colombus voyage was also made in it's 500year. It was hot garbage.

Neo confederates are like a personal taste of the kind of propaganda that European colony empires spit out, as well as the sympathizers.
@@ramenbomberdeluxe4958 Please don't use "European colonizer empires" to refer to colonial and imperialist aplogists, since the aformentioned quote refers to a government and most modern governments are open with the attrocities commited in their education, aka not whitewashing history, like the "and the natives happily moved away so the peaceful settlers could build a new home" that was(I think it isn't anymore...I hope so) in old Canadian history books.
I am Portuguese and we learn how we started the transatlantic slave trade and how we transported thousands upon thousands of African slaves to our colonies in "Negreiros", ships where slaves were stored like cargo, piled one over the other, in a inhumane way.
I'm quite confident the US also teaches how the CSA rebelled to keep their barbarous slave practices, since...ahem, the USA is the victor of that story and why would they beatify the CSA? Again, the biased apologists being the problem.
I'm so tired of this Pocahontas/Sacagawea trope in movies where an indigenous/native girl shows up whose only purpose is to guide the colonizers and be a love interest to one of them. Also she always has to leave her home because of course she would leave her home to go off with some random dudes instead of stay with her "savage" family.
@Ophelia Tepes they were raped and killed, stop being so delusional
I mean ya that’s how it goes
I know! How terrible that one of the natives is curious, inquisitive, and wants to explore more of the world that these newcomers have just demonstrated existed! Native people should never want anything more than to live and die in the same village their ancestors did.
I want a story where a dude whose like an impressed sailor or indentured servant (basically kinds of temporary slavery) comes to some new land and just decids fuck it. Boy meets girl, boy realizes he loves girl more than he loves Jesus, boy defects and helps the natives kick out the other Europeans out in return for being able to stay.
It might not be super historically accurate, but it think it'd make for an interesting story. Give us a grungier view of the Europeans before they even interact with the natives. Show that the life of many people in europe sucked. I mean a lot of people came to the new world looking for a better life, free from oppressive European society. And show us more of the natives and their culture. Give us more indigenous food and religion. Have some situation where the defector is being taught how to do stuff by the natives.
I mean there was at least one entire english colony that straight up joined a local tribe. So it's not too far fetched.
@@pureevil6047 I believe that's called _Avatar._
As a Spanish person, I want to say that Spain has never had a great history in film making (I think that a Spanish film called "Champions" won some international movie price but don't quote me on that).
