Movies that feel likeThe Road to El Dorado (2000)

Stowing away after a failed con, a pair of swindlers end up on El Dorado, the fabled "city of gold", where they quickly get in over their heads when they are mistaken as gods by the inhabitants.

If you loved The Road to El Dorado, the closest films we have are The Lion King 1½ (2004), Horton Hears a Who! (2008) and Flushed Away (2006). All three share The Road to El Dorado's warm and cozy feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2005).
