RebelTaxi Please review classic Ben 10! Such an underrated series with great art, music designs and characters. It doesn't get much attention nowadays and I'm interested in your thoughts on it
YES YES I AGREE ! It's one of my favourite films and some of the best animation to exist Edit: And the music from the score to the musical numbers is a favourite soundtrack of mine and is epic in every way
I love how The Road to El Dorado gave equal amounts of Fanservice to the male and female characters. There’s all the shots of Chel’s massive butt, and Miguel and Tulio get shirtless scenes.
It really is a tragedy that Dreamworks didn't continue producing traditionally animated films. Every single one of them that were made were, at minimum, good. Besides, the quality of the animation is f***ing astounding. Disney is fantastic at character animation and designs and all, but the visuals of 2D Dreamworks films are unbelievable.
Also 2000s Disney had some pretty great 2D films like Treasure Planet, Lilo and Stitch, The Emperor’s Mew Groove. Sadly they all failed at the box office.
@@RockerMicke1 If they portray American Slavery in the same way they did here; that director/writer will get cancelled faster than the Clerks animated series
"Maybe that's a sign that people are ready for more 2D" To us, most likely. But to the studios especially Disney, that means "make more live action remakes".
I got to admit , when it came to DreamWorks 2d Animated films they felt a lot more unique and creative then what Disney had during the time , so it's kind of sad they never got to chance to convey thier true potential.
While writing about Prince of Edgypt, In my head I kept thinking "The 10 Koopmanments" because of that Mario episode. I couldn't remember the ep but that title just stuck with me.
Dreamworks: Horses are something that has confused many artist for generations. Berserk 2010: SEE! Its not our fault we couldn't animate horses properly Berserk 1997: AM I A JOKE TO YOU?
He didn’t want to hate his brother but they were enemies because of their beliefs. It’s not the same hate that we expect it’s a more complicated hate that makes us hate ourselves .
@@newtyfruityaudreythomas4014 He did not hate Rameses. There's a scene of Moses crying for the death of his nephew along with the other death's. Moses is angry because Rameses stubbornness and pride rule over the safety of the people and children caught in the crossfire.
@@user-sp2jg9rx8r exactly, it’s a hate for what he’s doing but not the actually person. Like when someone close to you decides to do hard drugs and ruins their life, you love them with all your heart but hate what they are doing. I wish there was a word for that kind of relationship
Probably because My Little Pony was such a huge thing for the whole last decade. And not just with young girls. Of course, studio head logic "they both have horses so that means they'll be equally successful!" And the creatives are facepalming.
The reboot is such a travesty. Like not to sound like a boomer or anything, but watching Spirit on the VHS was such an experience. And now the ending of that movie is completely undone. Why would they use the horse from Spirit? Why wouldn't they give the horse a different name and design. Also how tf is that horse still alive.
Well, it’s probably because Spirit was a financial success, but El Dorado and Sinbad were both unfortunately financial failures, so dreamworks probably thought it wouldn be an unnecessary idea to do so, although I do wish they both had shows. El Dorado is my favorite dreamworks movie as well.
I'm always a sucker for 2D animated movies not done by Disney, and I always loved the style of Dreamworks' 2D movies. It's a huge shame that the CGI boom put an end to all of this. And did I hear MK: Deception music at 4:49? You always did have some fantastic taste Pan.
I think that´s because he could make the things he always wanted to make but Michael Eisner never give him green light, but a lot of Disney people go to Dreamworks to follow Jeffrey.
Just some clarification from the Moses and Joseph movies: Joseph came before Moses, and during Joseph’s time, slavery wasn’t near as bad as in Moses’ time. The reason for this is because Joseph and his family(the Israelites) all moved to Egypt, and over the generations, they multiplied significantly. The pharaoh was afraid of the Israelites growing numbers, and that they’d take over Egypt, so he basically made them all slaves. So in Joseph, slaves were more seen as servants and workers, while in Moses, they were actively trying to oppress them by treating them poorly.
8:35 Actually, fun fact: Kenneth Branagh (Miguel) and Kevin Kline (Tulio) DID record plenty of dialogue in the same room. They actually recorded the sword fight by fighting one another with pool noodles (I think? Either that or plastic swords).
"This is some primo DeviantArt AMV furrybait" Dude, did we watch the same movie? I don't remember anything like th- *You Can't Take Me starts playing* Oh. Ohhhhh...
Rebel Taxi is thinking too much about furries. I don’t count it at all. I don’t understand why he called those songs corny and furry bait those songs are classics!😞
@@andreasmeelie1889 It's not to do with the quality of the songs. The tone and the scenes they were set to (along with the fact that they were about animals given human emotions and expressions) just combine into a perfect storm of vaguely furry things.
Joseph's parents did make him what looks like a robe, but if you went to Parochial school, you would know that it's called "the coat of many colors". Even though it looks like it's just made to have a few colors, all supposed to stand out. Also, the point of Joseph King of Dreams' tone shift was because slave trades were prominent, but not as massive as the enslavement of the Hebrews in Exodus. Pontifar wanted a slave, but he's equally not violent or abusive to Joseph like in the biblical story. And later on, there was fear from the pharaoh Seti, that the Hebrews would take over Egypt, so he... well, you remember the Prince of Egypt. And yeah. Spirit is far better than Home On the Range.
@@afoolishfopdoodle3284 I don’t get why they simply treated people as there own? Because eventually the population of Jewish and Egyptian people would be hard to tell apart. I mean all those areas under the caliphate don’t identify as Sumerian or Egyptian do they? (ethnically atleast)
When it came to that Prince of Egypt VHS advertising, you can tell that the entire family didn't even watch past the first 20 minutes of the film. Also the parents may not have seen all the way through the film and the little girl talked like she enjoyed it without realizing that there was allot of death in the film. This is what you call classic Christian family advertising from the 90s.
It only took ten years to get this lore. (I'm sure there's some joke about a series that took 10 years or longer to get that deep a lore nugget, but I can't really think of one at the moment)
@@PrincessX-ke8tj i mean, they do have some special gems like how to train your dragon and shrek, but they’re more focused on dumb kids movies they can profit off of with merchandise
The only thing is that Dreamworks can be somewhat dense for both kids and adults (something that Pixar has actually mastered, to give a different theme and aesop for different people, if you look carefully). Their series for Netflix aren't half bad, tho (the ones produced for Nickelodeon, couldn't care less). Except for the end of Voltron, but Tales of Arcadia is actually really good (having Guillermo del Toro as producer probably helps).
@@PrincessX-ke8tj They tried, and honestly they kinda succeeded. They are tied with Disney Animation Studios and Pixar for the most popular animated studios.
I remember. I thought it was kind of cool that we got to hear Spirit narrate like it was a book even though he didn't talk in-universe. On the other hand, I could see how it could be totally redundant if I rewatched it.
I had the opposite effect, where I could have sworn the animals did talk in that movie. Turns out the animation was just really good at expressing and the inner monolouging just confused the fuck out of my memory.
I mean when it comes to Joseph His part is the Bible does kinda glorify slavery but it's more because it's coming from his prospective He was one of the lucky ones Unlike the other slaves he was weak looking which put him in the house and he showed he was education which helped him advance
Well, that was weird since Bible portray Egyptian Pharaoh as evil figure yet portray him as good figure in Joseph's time. Part of me tends to interpret as the symbolism of Levant since Egypt also controlled that region. I mean Egypt also took children of Semitic nobles to Pharaoh's court to become Egyptians.
@@powerist209 it's probably because they were different pharaohs, apparently there were 430 years between Genesis and Exodus. Apparently Necho II was the Pharaoh in a number of Genesis chapters though I can't find any source that says he was the one in genesis 37 (the chapter containing Joseph's story), meanwhile Ramses II is the pharaoh in Exodus. In rewriting this comment and doing quick research the word pharaoh has officially lost all meaning.
I remember Sunday School taking a slavery is wrong, but it got worse over the generations from the time of Joseph to Moses. No clue if that is solid biblical interpenetration or not.
Genesis is packed with time flying by, so it's possible that not only different pharaohs from different regions, but also slavery could've been not as bad. In a Christian perspective, God was protecting Joseph through the time of being as a slave and with God providing visions to Joseph, it helped him get up in a higher position and to make the slavery not as bad... I think? XD Plus looking at the beginning of Exodus, literally the next Pharaoh, who didn't know about Joseph, was like "You know what, there's too many Hebrews around here. Let's kill them/put them into slavery" and literally screwed up the system that Joseph set up. Might not be totally accurate since it's been a while I've read Genesis XD
Extinctanimals22 that’s because the Bible says that the Jews were originally invited to Egypt as honored immigrants, as Joseph interpreted the pharaoh’s dream. However, after that pharaoh died, his successor forgot all of what Joseph did and did the pro-gamer move of enslaving all of the Jews in Egypt, which lead to God telling Moses to free them.
TBF Quibi could've done a lot better if it wasn't stuck to a phone app (and it still is right now for some asinine reason) but just in concept it was flawed from the beginning
They did what Walt originally wanted to do..ish. I don't know, he wanted to make a film without being held down by his brand recognizion after watching 'To Kill a Mockingbird' back when he was alive. Shame..
David Geffen is the "G" in "Dreamworks SKG", the other two being Spielberg and Katzenberg. He's also the first openly gay billionaire, came out in 1980.
@@TheIronMexican Really? There has to be missing context. I mean, being a furry is fine and all, but did he legit defend sticking a dick in a dog's ass? or...? Like, what was the context?
Since I was 4 through 10 when DreamsWorks made those 2D films, and my Grandmother was a SUPER Christian, so I had a camel beanie baby from my Prince of Egypt VHS (legit), I've seen Road to El Dorodo once, 17 years ago, Joseph twice, still own the VHS, saw Spirit once 16 years ago, surprised it got a Netflix cartoon (Then again, every DreamsWorks product gets one these days), and saw Sinbad once, 15 years ago. Grandma got for me, we saw it together, then she said she'll throw it away because of the polytheism in it... Yeah, that happened lol
Naw I don’t know many of these movies but Spirit was my absolute favorite when I was like 4! Now that they have a 3D animated tv show that has nothing to do with the movie hurts my 2d animation Heart
@@jamiecrucefix4078 OMG the rescuers down under was beautiful and actually made me fall in love with Australia! Someday I’m gonna visit my childhood dream 🇦🇺
I understand and love digital animation for its innovation, but I love the authenticity and emotion I feel that comes from traditional animation. Dreamworks 2D films (especially in comparison to the mammoth Disney) are underrated.
@@BrochJam bruh I can't give you the link rn but if you search it in facebook you can find it quickly! There are tons of people there so it should be easy. Even still I'll try to send you the link tomorrow :))
Kosta Jovanovic He was the voice/animator/namesake of that one horse from Adventure Time! ...Oh, and I guess he also animated Belle, Rafiki, and Quasimodo.
@@klg9549 Nope, The Beast was animated by Glen Keane. He also animated Ariel, Aladdin, Pocahontas, Tarzan, John Silver from "Treasure Planet," Marahute the Golden Eagle from "The Rescuers Down Under," Professor Ratigan from "The Great Mouse Detective," and three different characters from "Oliver and Company" (those being Fagin, Sykes, and Georgette). He's also one of the sons of "Family Circus" creator Bil Keane.
Actually, the Bible does state that both Pharaohs during Moses' time (unnamed, but most probably Seti and Rameses) were a lot more brutal than the pharaoh during Joseph's time. In fact, Joseph's pharaoh respected Joseph (being a slave and all) and his God for saving Egypt. As for biblical movies being harder to research than "talking animal films" you would be right, except that the policy for Dreamworks 2D films was having no talking animals at all to distance themselves from Disney. There are plenty of animal sidekicks and even a main character in Spirit, but not talking ones (that's for PDI and Aardman to do). As for the pronuntiation of "cimarron", you just played a clip with the right way to say it when introducing the movie.
Sinbad is one of my favorite childhood movies, and it was the first movie i ever watched when i was born. I dont care how people say its bad, I think its a freakin MASTERPIECE! And it deserves more love than more hate. When i saw it on the worst list, i was about too go off!
IKR??! You've personally spoken my mind!! The nostalgia I have concerning Sinbad is unexplainable! You'd think everyone has the same opinion as u. Smh.
No you guys are blinded by nostalgia as someone who viewed it about a week ago it’s pretty forgettable the humor can be dull at times and the cgi can look bad(but that can just be for how old it is) but the animation is beautiful character designs are nice especially for the female villain. I’ll give it a 6/10 more closer to a 6 than a 4. I probably won’t be watching this any time soon.
@@emmahollow8898 No I ain't blinded by nostalgic, I watched it about a thousand times ever since I been growing up. Sinbad is like my comfort movie when I feel like I wish I can go back when I was a little kid when I first watched it. I mean I even watch it today
@@KB15. you definitely are lmao. Your only defense for this movie was “I liked it since I was born and I grew up with it so it’s automatically good” nope I’m looking at it from a critical point of view also as a first time watcher. I was disappointed to say the least.
in case someone hasn't already left a comment about it, the Spirit Netflix series is set later on, and that's apparently one of his descendants, who coincidentally is also named Spirit by people
Oh how I long for 2D again. Can you imagine how amazing it would be these days, with all the fucking talented artists and animators out there?! I YEARN.
Spirit has a big impact on me because it was my favorite movie as a kid. I watched it over and over when I was happy and now it's a coping movie. Any time I'm in a slump and really just cant for a day I watch it and It helps. Because positive connecting is a powerful force
It sucks that they only did 5 2d Animations. Makes me want to watch all of them seeing how I've only seen El Dorado and Spirit (albeit only once in elementary school). I hope history repeats itself and 2d (and on a lesser scale stop motion) makes a comeback because I personally love it more than 3d.
Man I hope DreamWorks will finally make another 2D animation for this generation even though we got good stuff from like Kung Fu panda,Captain Underpants,Antz, Monsters vs Aliens,Turbo (2013),Mr.Peabody and Sherman,Chicken Run,Flushed Away,The Curse of the wererabbit,Rise of the Guardians,Megamind,Over the Hedge,Shrek,how to train your dragon,and Madagascar
Is there endgame Jesus being crucified with phase 4 and 5 being everything after or is Jesus coming back the end of infinity war with endgame being the book of revelations
Not really a lot more room to go especially without getting more controversial, even TPoE ending was pretty awkward when most people know just after that is supposed to be first big rebelliousness and punishment.
The Road to El Dorado had been my favorite childhood movie next to The Emperor's New Groove. Now that I'm an adult and have a better appreciation for art, story, sound design, etc., once finally watched Spirit recently, it immediately shot up to the top of my favorite movies of all time. It's easily to this day the most beautiful animated movie I've ever seen. It made me cry multiple times throughout for different reasons, the first of which was from the jaw-dropping fluid animation just minutes into the film. Dreamworks blended 2D with 3D better than any anime today in 2022. I don't think I would have liked it as much as a kid, but I LOVE it in 2022! And I didn't mind Matt Damon's inner monologue for Spirit one bit, that's just you, man. It's just... such a shame what happened to the franchise after the movie, but at least it lived on(?)
Joseph: King of Dreams is the absolute worse. Not even debatable. To this day I'm glad my parents took me to watch Road To El Dorado on the big screen, especially after learning it flopped.
@@comicnerd420 definitely, it breaks my heart those movies did poorly because in terms of just the animation alone 2D animation was on a whole different level in the late 90s and early 2000's.
@@TiffanyRay sorry. I also grew up on that movie but to me it's one of those childhood movies that the more I watch it the older I get the worse it gets. It's not awful but to me it feels like those early 90's bible cartoons but with more stylized animation, too whimsical for my taste.
Seeing that clip of that Spirit Baskin Robbins commercial reawakened a long-dormant memory of mine. I think I saw that commercial once as a kid, then never saw it again until today. Wow. What a trip and a half.
The way I see it, Dreamworks is a company caught between movies they want to make and movies they have to make (to fund the ones they want to make). This had the consequence of their brand lacking consistency and their 'serious' movies being diluted among the 'jokey' ones. Is Rise of the Guardians a genuine movie or an Avengers satire? From the trailer neither crowd could tell. Same with Megamind. So in 2013-ish when neither movie was making money they restructured hard into being the B-tier animated production they were stereotyped as being.
Meanwhile with me being of fan of those films like turbo (2013),Captain Underpants,Trolls 1&2,Monsters vs aliens,megamind,and Antz: *Sobbing in Mr.Krupp*
I loved sinbad as a kid and rewatched it recently and it was still as good as I remember. It’s not any thought provoking story but it’s damn good even when watching it now as an adult
I love the prince of Egypt. As a Christian, you know the story already. But even watching it, you still think that Ramses can change. But he won’t. Plus, I love the little added detail when Moses makes the River blood, the area around him is still water.
Joseph looks like that one time you enjoyed renting a movie from your local library after finding out they actually have a VHS section and then also a manga section right next to it
I’m just going to put this out there: I memorized Spirit, Prince of Moses, Eldorado, and other 2D Dreamwork movies to every note in the credit musics, and the only Disney 2D that I memorized that well is Treasure Planet
Deliver us is my fav song in the prince of egypt but i also really like listening to playing with the big boys after because theyre so different in tone
I still have the dvd cassette from the prince of egypt qwq i loved watching it as a kid, i have much cassettes in my summerhouse and i remember just every summer I'd watch them, one of my favorites were always prince of egypt, then a film about huskies in the north but i have forgotten the name of them, tarzan, the swan princess and some more But the songs in prince of egypt aaah Nostalgia

Pontifar wanted a slave, but he's equally not violent or abusive to Joseph like in the biblical story. And later on, there was fear from the pharaoh Seti, that the Hebrews would take over Egypt, so he... well, you remember the Prince of Egypt.
And yeah. Spirit is far better than Home On the Range.
Hebrews did not overpopulate Egypt. The Egyptian king was afraid the Hebrews were becoming too powerful and might one day replace the Egyptians.
@@FsimulatorX Nothing like a comment on a video about Dreamworks movies to remind you that the Great Replacement Theory is thousands of years old
@@afoolishfopdoodle3284 I don’t get why they simply treated people as there own? Because eventually the population of Jewish and Egyptian people would be hard to tell apart. I mean all those areas under the caliphate don’t identify as Sumerian or Egyptian do they? (ethnically atleast)
When it came to that Prince of Egypt VHS advertising, you can tell that the entire family didn't even watch past the first 20 minutes of the film.
Also the parents may not have seen all the way through the film and the little girl talked like she enjoyed it without realizing that there was allot of death in the film.
This is what you call classic Christian family advertising from the 90s.
Hell even now.

> "Some day, one of the bigger studios are going to try 2D again."
*ahem* Klaus *cough*
Bigger studios. Not small, lesser known ones.
Emphasis on big studios. Klaus is a smaller team even if alot of the animators worked on Disney/Dreamworks
@@cannonfodder4000 Those aren't "big studios", though, they're "HUGE" studios, almost bordering on monopoly.
I feel like if Dreamworks really tried, they could’ve beaten Disney
If they kept releasing movies like Prince of Egypt and El Dorado, they could have absolutely SLAPPED Disney.
@@PrincessX-ke8tj i mean, they do have some special gems like how to train your dragon and shrek, but they’re more focused on dumb kids movies they can profit off of with merchandise
The only thing is that Dreamworks can be somewhat dense for both kids and adults (something that Pixar has actually mastered, to give a different theme and aesop for different people, if you look carefully).
Their series for Netflix aren't half bad, tho (the ones produced for Nickelodeon, couldn't care less). Except for the end of Voltron, but Tales of Arcadia is actually really good (having Guillermo del Toro as producer probably helps).
@@PrincessX-ke8tj They tried, and honestly they kinda succeeded. They are tied with Disney Animation Studios and Pixar for the most popular animated studios.
Ok
I literally don't remember Spirit having an inner monolouge.
Is this Mandela effect or did I seriously forget the man who spoke for the horse?
I remember. I thought it was kind of cool that we got to hear Spirit narrate like it was a book even though he didn't talk in-universe. On the other hand, I could see how it could be totally redundant if I rewatched it.
You probably thought it was another background song.
I had the opposite effect, where I could have sworn the animals did talk in that movie. Turns out the animation was just really good at expressing and the inner monolouging just confused the fuck out of my memory.
There wasn't a lot of narration in general so that might have something to do with it. Think Spirit only narrated like, four times?
Up until Pan mentioned it, I thought I was *reverse* Mandela Effected and was wondering if I just imagined there being a monologue
I mean when it comes to Joseph
His part is the Bible does kinda glorify slavery but it's more because it's coming from his prospective
He was one of the lucky ones
Unlike the other slaves he was weak looking which put him in the house and he showed he was education which helped him advance
Well, that was weird since Bible portray Egyptian Pharaoh as evil figure yet portray him as good figure in Joseph's time.
Part of me tends to interpret as the symbolism of Levant since Egypt also controlled that region. I mean Egypt also took children of Semitic nobles to Pharaoh's court to become Egyptians.
@@powerist209 it's probably because they were different pharaohs, apparently there were 430 years between Genesis and Exodus. Apparently Necho II was the Pharaoh in a number of Genesis chapters though I can't find any source that says he was the one in genesis 37 (the chapter containing Joseph's story), meanwhile Ramses II is the pharaoh in Exodus.
In rewriting this comment and doing quick research the word pharaoh has officially lost all meaning.
I remember Sunday School taking a slavery is wrong, but it got worse over the generations from the time of Joseph to Moses. No clue if that is solid biblical interpenetration or not.
Genesis is packed with time flying by, so it's possible that not only different pharaohs from different regions, but also slavery could've been not as bad. In a Christian perspective, God was protecting Joseph through the time of being as a slave and with God providing visions to Joseph, it helped him get up in a higher position and to make the slavery not as bad... I think? XD Plus looking at the beginning of Exodus, literally the next Pharaoh, who didn't know about Joseph, was like "You know what, there's too many Hebrews around here. Let's kill them/put them into slavery" and literally screwed up the system that Joseph set up.
Might not be totally accurate since it's been a while I've read Genesis XD
Extinctanimals22 that’s because the Bible says that the Jews were originally invited to Egypt as honored immigrants, as Joseph interpreted the pharaoh’s dream. However, after that pharaoh died, his successor forgot all of what Joseph did and did the pro-gamer move of enslaving all of the Jews in Egypt, which lead to God telling Moses to free them.
the failure of quibi just solidifies the fact that katzenberg was just a very lucky guy who happened to be in command of animation's greatest talents
I wanna see the alternate reality where he did become top dog at Disney.
Batzarro He would have destroyed them.
TBF Quibi could've done a lot better if it wasn't stuck to a phone app (and it still is right now for some asinine reason) but just in concept it was flawed from the beginning
MG apparently they just added Chromecast compatibility
When he said “ that’s what you get for trusting a character voiced by mark hamill,” I LOST ITTTT
Prince of Egypt showed that dream works does what disney doesn(ey)s’t!
how do you even pronounce that lol ? I like the joke but the fact that I can't retell it is so strange haha
Kirby The Star Warrior It even went down the same road too.
Should have gone with "DreamWorks is what Disneysn't".
It'd be cool if they made a film like this today. Netflix could partner with them going forward
They did what Walt originally wanted to do..ish. I don't know, he wanted to make a film without being held down by his brand recognizion after watching 'To Kill a Mockingbird' back when he was alive. Shame..
Some of these films are so good and not marketable that they don't feel like Dreamworks films. I miss this era
David Geffen is the "G" in "Dreamworks SKG", the other two being Spielberg and Katzenberg. He's also the first openly gay billionaire, came out in 1980.
Despite the fact that sinbad failed in theaters I love it same as the prince of Egypt both are my favorites of the 2d DreamWorks animation
I would kill to see Dreamworks bring back this style. All of their 2D films are hidden gems, and Prince of Egypt is arguably their best movie period.

Here's the link. It's 10 minutes of context. th-cam.com/video/X1nnNz_Tewk/w-d-xo.html
Since I was 4 through 10 when DreamsWorks made those 2D films, and my Grandmother was a SUPER Christian, so I had a camel beanie baby from my Prince of Egypt VHS (legit), I've seen Road to El Dorodo once, 17 years ago, Joseph twice, still own the VHS, saw Spirit once 16 years ago, surprised it got a Netflix cartoon (Then again, every DreamsWorks product gets one these days), and saw Sinbad once, 15 years ago. Grandma got for me, we saw it together, then she said she'll throw it away because of the polytheism in it... Yeah, that happened lol
Thats a cute story though
Naw I don’t know many of these movies but Spirit was my absolute favorite when I was like 4! Now that they have a 3D animated tv show that has nothing to do with the movie hurts my 2d animation Heart
I think I like your Grandma! 😂
I grew up watching these movies plus the Rescuers, rescuers down under and Babel goes to america!
@@jamiecrucefix4078 OMG the rescuers down under was beautiful and actually made me fall in love with Australia! Someday I’m gonna visit my childhood dream 🇦🇺
I understand and love digital animation for its innovation, but I love the authenticity and emotion I feel that comes from traditional animation. Dreamworks 2D films (especially in comparison to the mammoth Disney) are underrated.
I don't think I've laughed at anything Pan has said harder than I did at "I wanna Maya her Miguel"

this theme always makes me sad since Sinbad and El Dorado were really good

Finally someone talks about the Prince of Egypt
If The road to Eldorado got a sequel, it would be called Road Away From Eldorado
Chel is just too hot.
like, she was animated by James Baxter, soo maybe thats the reason
Damnit, what should i know about him
Kosta Jovanovic He was the voice/animator/namesake of that one horse from Adventure Time!
...Oh, and I guess he also animated Belle, Rafiki, and Quasimodo.
@@VCJunkie he also did the one bit in steven universe fianle that looked amazing
@@VCJunkie I thought he animated the Beast, not Belle.
@@klg9549 Nope, The Beast was animated by Glen Keane. He also animated Ariel, Aladdin, Pocahontas, Tarzan, John Silver from "Treasure Planet," Marahute the Golden Eagle from "The Rescuers Down Under," Professor Ratigan from "The Great Mouse Detective," and three different characters from "Oliver and Company" (those being Fagin, Sykes, and Georgette).
He's also one of the sons of "Family Circus" creator Bil Keane.
Actually, the Bible does state that both Pharaohs during Moses' time (unnamed, but most probably Seti and Rameses) were a lot more brutal than the pharaoh during Joseph's time. In fact, Joseph's pharaoh respected Joseph (being a slave and all) and his God for saving Egypt.
As for biblical movies being harder to research than "talking animal films" you would be right, except that the policy for Dreamworks 2D films was having no talking animals at all to distance themselves from Disney. There are plenty of animal sidekicks and even a main character in Spirit, but not talking ones (that's for PDI and Aardman to do).
As for the pronuntiation of "cimarron", you just played a clip with the right way to say it when introducing the movie.
I remember I wanted Spirited Away as a kid for Christmas but got Spirit instead. I was pissed.
Lol
Sinbad is one of my favorite childhood movies, and it was the first movie i ever watched when i was born. I dont care how people say its bad, I think its a freakin MASTERPIECE! And it deserves more love than more hate. When i saw it on the worst list, i was about too go off!
IKR??! You've personally spoken my mind!! The nostalgia I have concerning Sinbad is unexplainable! You'd think everyone has the same opinion as u. Smh.
No you guys are blinded by nostalgia as someone who viewed it about a week ago it’s pretty forgettable the humor can be dull at times and the cgi can look bad(but that can just be for how old it is) but the animation is beautiful character designs are nice especially for the female villain. I’ll give it a 6/10 more closer to a 6 than a 4. I probably won’t be watching this any time soon.
@@emmahollow8898 No I ain't blinded by nostalgic, I watched it about a thousand times ever since I been growing up. Sinbad is like my comfort movie when I feel like I wish I can go back when I was a little kid when I first watched it. I mean I even watch it today
@@KB15. you definitely are lmao. Your only defense for this movie was “I liked it since I was born and I grew up with it so it’s automatically good” nope I’m looking at it from a critical point of view also as a first time watcher. I was disappointed to say the least.
@@emmahollow8898 your right I am a lmao, I know other people wouldn't like it but that's OK at least some people enjoy the movie like me😊
Calling Road to El Dorado a "family film" is the biggest stretch I've ever seen.
in case someone hasn't already left a comment about it, the Spirit Netflix series is set later on, and that's apparently one of his descendants, who coincidentally is also named Spirit by people
Only a minute in and I already know this is going to be good.
"That's right Mike, Katzenberg is a hack fraud!"
"Speaking of hack frauds in the industry, did you see Ishtar?"
I was looking for this commentary after I saw the mention of Ishtar
I did. But only because there were no cartoons afer 12 pm and I just watched whatever was on t.v. while waiting for the simpsons.
*cue entire Ishtar trailer*
"If she's Mayan, I wanna Maya her Miguel"
Ha, I get it.
Actually, Spirit: Riding free is about Spirit's offspring. I know. I hate it, too.
Oh how I long for 2D again. Can you imagine how amazing it would be these days, with all the fucking talented artists and animators out there?! I YEARN.
Spirit has a big impact on me because it was my favorite movie as a kid. I watched it over and over when I was happy and now it's a coping movie. Any time I'm in a slump and really just cant for a day I watch it and It helps. Because positive connecting is a powerful force
It sucks that they only did 5 2d Animations. Makes me want to watch all of them seeing how I've only seen El Dorado and Spirit (albeit only once in elementary school).
I hope history repeats itself and 2d (and on a lesser scale stop motion) makes a comeback because I personally love it more than 3d.
The reason why slavery during Joseph time was because the pharaoh at that time was nicer then the pharaoh in Moses’s era.
Honestly their 2D films are some of the most beautiful films in existence. With Katenzburg gone I hope Dreamworks can make another one
Man I hope DreamWorks will finally make another 2D animation for this generation even though we got good stuff from like Kung Fu panda,Captain Underpants,Antz, Monsters vs Aliens,Turbo (2013),Mr.Peabody and Sherman,Chicken Run,Flushed Away,The Curse of the wererabbit,Rise of the Guardians,Megamind,Over the Hedge,Shrek,how to train your dragon,and Madagascar
Implying Katzenburg wasn’t the reason those 2D films existed to begin with.
Wait Katzenberg is gone?
The Fat Piranha Plant since 2016. He’s still alive it’s just he’s no longer apart of the company having sold it to Comcast
Kyle Campbell I didn’t know that, thanks
Just watched Prince of Egypt, it was incredible and still holds up!
Imagine if they published The Road to El Dorado today... they'd eat them alive.
and the internet would draw Chel cover in bodily fluids
@@slothbaby2104 as if they already dont
@Pentex Sucks Yes, I have been told the same thing.
@@slothbaby2104 They've already been doing that for years.
I don't think so, Miguel and Tulio are impossible to hate, that's just great character writing.
Welp this has convinced me to watch Road to El Dorado again, I forgot how fun a film it was - and that background art is incredible.
The start of 2D Dreamworks movies is basically already the end of 2D Dreamworks movies
Really sad that Dreamworks never got to achieve their vision for the Bible Cinematic Universe
Is there endgame Jesus being crucified with phase 4 and 5 being everything after or is Jesus coming back the end of infinity war with endgame being the book of revelations
Not really a lot more room to go especially without getting more controversial, even TPoE ending was pretty awkward when most people know just after that is supposed to be first big rebelliousness and punishment.
"Goddamn Comic Sans!" And that was the end of Comic Sans font...

The Road to El Dorado had been my favorite childhood movie next to The Emperor's New Groove. Now that I'm an adult and have a better appreciation for art, story, sound design, etc., once finally watched Spirit recently, it immediately shot up to the top of my favorite movies of all time. It's easily to this day the most beautiful animated movie I've ever seen. It made me cry multiple times throughout for different reasons, the first of which was from the jaw-dropping fluid animation just minutes into the film. Dreamworks blended 2D with 3D better than any anime today in 2022. I don't think I would have liked it as much as a kid, but I LOVE it in 2022! And I didn't mind Matt Damon's inner monologue for Spirit one bit, that's just you, man. It's just... such a shame what happened to the franchise after the movie, but at least it lived on(?)
Joseph: King of Dreams is the absolute worse. Not even debatable.
To this day I'm glad my parents took me to watch Road To El Dorado on the big screen, especially after learning it flopped.
Good for u. I only watched road to Eldorado on vcr. But I rewatched it over and over again. That and treasure planet. Best movies to watch in rerun
@@comicnerd420 definitely, it breaks my heart those movies did poorly because in terms of just the animation alone 2D animation was on a whole different level in the late 90s and early 2000's.
Even being the "absolute worst", it's still a pretty good prequel movie. Not worth the silver screen, but worth it as a DVD or VHS ofc.
Me growing up on that movie: ,😖😢
@@TiffanyRay sorry. I also grew up on that movie but to me it's one of those childhood movies that the more I watch it the older I get the worse it gets. It's not awful but to me it feels like those early 90's bible cartoons but with more stylized animation, too whimsical for my taste.
Putting Sinbad below Joseph and his Technicolor Dreamcoat is a travesty.
Sinbad's animation looks pretty damn fantastic.
Fun fact! I actually had two copies of Antz as a kid, because my sister watched it so much that the first copy stopped working
RebelTaxi, No sweat, when I was younger, I could never say Cimmaron right either..and I remember loving that Spirit Sundae !
I remember my mom took me to the dentist and then afterwards we saw Spirit at the movies. I was around 10 and I loved the score. It was a fun time.
The road to El dorado is one of my favorite movie DreamWorks ☺️☺️☺️💖💖💖 and the emperor's new groove is my favorite Disney movie
Seeing that clip of that Spirit Baskin Robbins commercial reawakened a long-dormant memory of mine. I think I saw that commercial once as a kid, then never saw it again until today. Wow. What a trip and a half.
Sinbad is my favorite 2D Dreamworks movie honestly (and quite possibly my favorite Dreamworks movie overall)
5:33 - Anyone else have that Prince of Egypt camel toy? I was actually looking through my old toys just yesterday - surreal seeing it in a commercial.
The way I see it, Dreamworks is a company caught between movies they want to make and movies they have to make (to fund the ones they want to make).
This had the consequence of their brand lacking consistency and their 'serious' movies being diluted among the 'jokey' ones. Is Rise of the Guardians a genuine movie or an Avengers satire? From the trailer neither crowd could tell. Same with Megamind.
So in 2013-ish when neither movie was making money they restructured hard into being the B-tier animated production they were stereotyped as being.
Meanwhile with me being of fan of those films like turbo (2013),Captain Underpants,Trolls 1&2,Monsters vs aliens,megamind,and Antz: *Sobbing in Mr.Krupp*
Spirit was amazing i could watch that movie on loop for the rest of my existence
I loved sinbad as a kid and rewatched it recently and it was still as good as I remember. It’s not any thought provoking story but it’s damn good even when watching it now as an adult
I agree.
I love the prince of Egypt. As a Christian, you know the story already. But even watching it, you still think that Ramses can change. But he won’t.
Plus, I love the little added detail when Moses makes the River blood, the area around him is still water.
Joseph looks like that one time you enjoyed renting a movie from your local library after finding out they actually have a VHS section and then also a manga section right next to it
My favorite song is all of them, The Prince of Egypt is my favorite animated musical and the background scores are just beautiful.
Prince of Egypt was their masterpiece
I’m just going to put this out there: I memorized Spirit, Prince of Moses, Eldorado, and other 2D Dreamwork movies to every note in the credit musics, and the only Disney 2D that I memorized that well is Treasure Planet
Deliver us is my fav song in the prince of egypt but i also really like listening to playing with the big boys after because theyre so different in tone
Spirit is such a beautiful and heartfelt movie I cry every time I watch it
Sinbad, El dorado and tresure planet (this one is from Disnay) are still my favourite movies. They are just amazing.
The Road to El Dorado is bi culture
I want to include Sinbad as well because of the attractive leads and ERIS aka I hope this doesn't awaken something me.
Rebeltaxi definitely underestimates the power of those Bryan Adams songs

I'd buy, that sounds like something I'd really want as a small child.
There's a real atmospheric nature to all of these films. Thank you Pan for showcasing these films in your video.
Good to know that Pan being trapped on a floating spaceship for 10 years is officially apart of the RebelTaxi lore.
That gag of you stuck on that taxi kills me 🤣

Starting out with the Best Movie, GREAT VIDEO ALREADY!!!🙌
I've never watched any of these movies, and yet I just watched a 33 minute video about them at 6 am after not sleeping the whole night
God please watch Prince of Egypt.
I honestly remember really enjoying Sinbad when I was a kid
I still have the dvd cassette from the prince of egypt qwq i loved watching it as a kid, i have much cassettes in my summerhouse and i remember just every summer I'd watch them, one of my favorites were always prince of egypt, then a film about huskies in the north but i have forgotten the name of them, tarzan, the swan princess and some more
But the songs in prince of egypt aaah
Nostalgia
I... Love every one of these films growing up, even to this DAY. It also got me even more interested in art and animation.
