No, not even close. Having a close friendship is not the same as being romantically in love. Any normal person who's ever had a best friend knows this. What they are are bros.
*Screaming* THATS BECAUSE THEY WERE GAY IN THE ORIGINAL SCRIPT *whispers* they later scratched that and changed a few scenes and added Chel because they felt that the gay theme wouldn´t sit well with audiences. Boy were they wrong.
I wish they would go back to 2d/3d animated movies. They spent a lot more time on developing a solid storyline and character development as opposed to the visual effects which are nice in modern movies but dang, if this wasn't such and original plot and a breath of fresh air. It's got buddy cop vibes, Indiana Jones vibes, even Tzekel-Kan, as one dimensional as his character was, delivered his lines with such conviction and emotion that it made you sort of root for him to rise to higher levels because he forced the other characters to surpass their limits and overcome. A great villain creates a great hero.
Nothing wrong with the way this was animated. Still amazes me that this is over 20 years old. I wish there were more movies that looked like this one design wise. Like actually drawn cartoons. I guess doing CGI is easier than drawing everything
@@dragonalfaata this is one of the last DreamWorks movies that still had 2d hand drawn elements. The Prince of Egypt. Joseph: King of Dreams The Road To El Dorado And Sinbad: Legend of The Seven Seas are the last 4 movies from DreamWorks to utilize the particular hybrid animations style you see in tRtED. IMO, other than Shrek 1 & 2, DreamWorks has struggled to produce anything that has captured my attention quite like the 4 movies I mentioned above.
@@kevinleroy2738 I didn't forget. I just didn't particularly care for the movie or the animation. I felt that it was really weak compared to the ones I mentioned so it didn't make my list. But you're not wrong, it was one of the last ones they produced that still had 2d hand drawn elements.
I really don't understand why this film was so underrated. the plot was amazing, the phasing is perfect, the soundtrack is 100% on point, and the characters are very well fleshed out, like even the horse has more personality than half of the movie mcs nowadays! it's so bizarre to think this kind of movie was considered a "flop" back then. I'd give anything to see animated films like this again.
The movie had more passion and thought put into it than most movies to this day. I agree with what you said. I watched this movie and its beautiful every time. it brings back so many memories. Both good and bad.
@@nonya3126 Contrary to your first statement, thought was unfortunately not put into the making of this movie. Everyone who worked on it has stated it was *hell* to make, the direction changed several times throughout the making of it, leaving everyone frustrated and unsatisfied with the end result. The crew was most certainly passionate, though - the scene with the ball game was almost cut from the film but the staff fought hard to keep it in because it was one of the few historically accurate things in the movie. Doesn't mean I don't love the film. It's an amazing movie, and Tulio and Miguel are just the perfect main characters with the greatest dynamic!
This entire movie and soundtrack is just mind boggling. I’m so grateful for this movie. This song has deep passion and meaning, something most songs lack these days
@@Akatsukileader9 I know but these days there aren’t as much songs that have the same good qualities compared to other periods in time, at least for me
2:30 I just love that look Chief gives Miguel like "Well? He's still your best friend, go say something for pete's sake" great animation that communicates so much emotion.
I've always found this song really beautiful but it never used to make me cry.. Until now. I was friends with someone for many years, since 2008. We grew really close, really fast. I've always been kind of introverted but she got me to open up quite a bit. She was the Miguel to my Tulio, and I think we worked so well together. I was always more serious and she knew how to make me laugh. She was always so much fun to be around. Only couple years ago I started to see how something was different between us. Maybe she changed. Maybe we both did. Maybe we both were too stubborn and proud to be the first to give in. But it didn't feel like we were as equal as we'd once been. I did so much for her but, in the end times, got very little back. Not that it mattered to me, I just would have wished to be treated with a bit more kindness, the way she used to. Well.. one day I chose to walk away, and we haven't spoken to each other ever since. I know there's no going back anymore, and I don't blame her for anything.. But goddamn, now that I found my way back to this song.. it really hurts. This is one of the movies we used to watch together. Now this feels so much more personal than it ever did before. I miss all the fun times we had and everything we did together. Now they're only good memories I'll always be holding onto. Back when we went our separate ways, I felt bitter, hurt and betrayed. Now.. Now I'm just sad. Sad that everything ended like this for us. Well, partner.. good luck. I still wish you the best, despite everything. I don't know if you miss me or think about me, but.. I still think about you all the time. We might never see each other again, but I know I'll never be able to forget about you.
God I love Spanish guitar. It has the most beautiful sound, and with Elton John's voice here, you can feel the emotion. It's funny too, because my dad always taught me to never say goodbye, always "I'll see you soon," or "I'll talk to you later." Goodbye was always a final farewell.
Один из самых любимых мультфильмов моего детства. Очень поучительный и интересный. Всегда плачу под эту песню. С каждым годом друзей становится все меньше. Элтон Джон просто гениальнейший музыкант. Спасибо ему за саундтреки к мультикам, которые смотрела я, а теперь включаю детям. Это бессмертные шедевры
Y'know it's funny, I haven't seen this movie in years, but I watched it so many times when I was younger that even with only the music playing, I can still remember ALL OF THE SOUNDS that the characters made in the background. God, I loved The Road to El Dorado. I really wish they had made the sequels they were planning...
My mom has an old recording of me, I couldn't have been older than 3 or so. But this was apparently my movie back then. I'd be so happy and start singing the theme as soon as I realized what was on TV. All these years later and I still love this movie. I'm almost 23 now. 🖤
Same honestly one of the best animated movies during that time in my opinion great story, music, and the comedy was great as well. So glad I was introduced to this movie as a kid.
I don't mean to dump my friendship story on RU-vid, but by God this song makes me more emotional than I thought. I have this friend and we were friends for seven, almost eight years. Now, we've drifted apart. I've tried reaching out, calling, texting-- but she never does the same. I cared about her deeply and she's the greatest friend I've ever known but she's changed for the worst. I saw that I was no longer a priority in her life, so she is no longer mine. I tried so hard for our friendship, but she lacked putting just as much effort as I. I'm sad that this is the way things turned out to be. She was my sister in a sense. However, I always listened too her problems, and slowly she just never listened to my own when I needed her the most. I guess that's a reason we slowly drifted apart as well. I just wish out of all the times I listened and been there for her, she would've been there for me. Just once... I needed her... Now I am left with memories and thoughts of what could've been. I will never forget the good or bad of our relationship, the trials we've fought through together. I have been there to pick her up when she's done stupid crap too. She may not care about me anymore, but I hope she looks back on the long years we've had together. We were like family at a point. And I know the friends she has now would've never been there or truly care about her like I did, because her friends are very selfish and use her. But she doesn't believe they do. Well, all I can say Mia, is I love you and I won't forget you. You were truly my only best friend and now I don't have any friends I can talk to the way I talked to you. This is my Goodbye...
Beautiful. Just hope you find a good friend ...who knows what the future brings. But yes, that friendship that may come ma you be like the one you had. Cherish the good memories, that's all we can do at the moment.
Dude... This is a sad but beautifully well-written about your experience. I know that this is pretty late... But I hope the best for you is to find somebody worthy of your time along with somebody able to bring you up when times get dark. Whatever happens to your friend, I hope she does okay on her end. For whatever she is experiencing, I hope she realizes and grows from it into a better individual. Good luck and enjoy your lives to the fullest 💖
@@vanessaliulaumea6459 Thanks so much. I really appreciate it, especially the time you took to write a reply. It's slowly getting better now but I'll definitely miss the good in our relationship
The majority of my high school friends are faded from my life, not reached out or hanged out, except one friend, who I met In my sophomore year 2010, present day we are still reach out and teammates in a futbol team "Friends never say goodbye"
My brother just left for his mission and this is basically how it went down at his farewell. We've been best friends since we were born. Instead of a goodbye it became a good luck. Good luck bro! 💙
Oh- Nostalgia... T.T I was so hooked on to this movie when I was like 3 or 4 years old that even my parents recorded this film on a videocassette whenever I was sad, bored or even being naughty they just switch on the VCR player and play it. Gosh! It's like I'm watching it for the first time...
''Okay Elton, who do you want for the background choir in this super emotional scene? Shall we find a nice group for you?'' ''Hmm... *_Give me the Backstreet Boys.''_*
Watching this for the 1st time with granddaughter ,I am so impressed with ,I am a sixties teenager and didn't think modern music would impress me wow fantastic ,I am now going to watch more with granddaughter, respect to you All kind regards Shirley h Darlington England 👌🌹✌️😘🎵❤️🎶⭐
I remember constantly listening to this during my last years of High School, thinking who’s gonna be there for me after the years of me being their friend. Who’s gonna be by my side when i need them most even after everything? Turns out nobody. The Hot Summer days were lonely and I remember constantly seeing the sun rise over the tree line and i still think of those who left me. (Update from another video with this song) it was back in 2016 since I graduated and i was 18 when i made that comment ^^ i’m 25 now, since then my friends have been gone, and never been the same. They only message when they need something or if i make contact to talk first it’s gotten to a point where it doesn’t even phase me anymore to care if they want to talk with me anymore because i know they don’t care enough for me the same way anymore since then. Here comes the typical “that’s life” comment though hey? And that is most definitely right Makes me wonder why they are still around. Maybe the day is coming.. “well.. good luck. Yeah.. you too.” Where that will happen. All i can say is i did all i could for you people, you’ll be the first ones to say goodbye so i’ll leave you the courtesy to do that Since i’ve tried everything. The teenager who was hurt back then is a 25 year old man who is still hurt, i guess that will never change. -CLT
Это был мой любимый мультфильм, я очень любила его смотреть зимой, и очень любила эту песню. С ним связаны очень хорошие воспоминания о детстве, о том, когда вся моя семья была рядом.
I can relate to this song so much! I thought I had a friend... but it turned out that she wasn't and well.. we lost contact.. So we didn't say goodbye because we never really were friends... and now I am about to cry... Wow... great :'(
There isn't much I haven't shared With you along the road And through it all there'd always be Tomorrow's episode Suddenly that isn't true There's another avenue Beckoning the great divide Ask no questions, take no side Who's to say who's right or wrong Whose course is braver run Still we are, have always been Will ever be as one What is done has been done for the best Though the mist in my eyes might suggest Just a little confusion about what I'll lose But if I started over I know I would choose The same joy the same sadness each step of the way That fought me and tought me that friends never say Never say goodbye Never say goodbye Never say goodbye Never say goodbye Suddenly that isn't true There's another avenue Beckoning, the great divide I would choose The same joy the same sadness each step of the way That fought me and taught me that friends never say Never say goodbye Never say goodbye Never say goodbye Never say goodbye Read more: Elton John - Friends Never Say Goodbye Lyrics | MetroLyrics
Notice how Tulio tears up the map as if to signify that even if he wants to see him again he won’t be able to so they have to say goodbye, but real friends never say goodbye and Miguel knows that so he signaled back by breaking a statue of Tulio, signifying that if he leaves then he’ll just forget about him forever, meaning that if they are truly friends then someone has to make a choice, or they were never friends at all.
I have always related with this song on a deep level because of how many friends I have lost, but it was when I lost someone that I considered a brother where this song got personal. Kadin was someone that I genuinely thought was a brother that I never had. We did so much together in person and online. We’ve talked about everything together and we had a relationship that was unbreakable… …well, the unfortunate thing about society today is that it pushes quite a narcissistic agenda onto people that are open to suck up anything that they see. I was trying to help him steer away from that path, trying to tell him that I want him to get himself away from the narcissistic behavior and recognize that the behavior has been toxic…but he was already too far gone. From there it crashed like the stock market, but even the stock market was able to slightly recover. This was the kind of damage that could break the earth and have it never be repaired. If we truly were friends, we wouldn’t have said goodbye to each other, but he forced a goodbye on me and now I’ll never see him again. By chance that you’re reading this Kadin, I miss you. But I only miss the old you. You were a very wise guy and I had so much respect for you because you had such an interesting take on life. However you have permanently changed for the worse and it’s something that I cannot have in my life anymore. If by some sort of miracle you recognize that you have had narcissistic traits and that you get help to fix those, then I would be able to welcome you with open arms. But until then…. “Well….good luck.”
That. But also Miguel and Tulio got rid of his power competitor (Tzekelkan) so Miguel staying kinda messed up his new solo dictatorship he was gonna run as “chief”… simplified stuff for him if Miguel left with Tulio lol
Laughing like children, living like lovers, rolling like thunder under the covers...and I guess that's why they called it The Blues. That's mostly only what I could think of during this scene.
"Alright Elton. This scene is the one where the duo splits up. You don't have to go too hard. Just give us some movie shorthand so we don't have to record any dialog for this scene" Elton John: 2:00 Me: 😭
I'm from Scotland but I'm going to China to teach English and this song sums up a lot of what I'm feeling :( really excited to go but leaving a lot of friends behind :(
This masterpiece " Friends never say goodbye " shows once more the great talent of its maker ( if it needed ... ) . But what is far away more important concerning this melody is that it succeds to take you to the deepest meaning of this so important " fact " that is Friendship . If you still have that " tickening " in your heart , then you simply can not remain the same after hearing this song !
My girlfriend of 8 months who had been my best friend for 5 years turned out to be a controlling person that was making my change too much about my self. Hearing this song now brings me to tears It really hits harder than anything else
There isn't much I haven't shared With you along the road And through it all there'd always be Tomorrow's episode Suddenly that isn't true There's another avenue Beckoning, the great divide Ask no questions, take no side Who's to say, who's right or wrong Whose course is braver run Still we are, have always been Will ever be, as one What is done, has been done for the best Though the mist, in my eyes might suggest Just a little, confusion, about what I'll lose But if I started over, I know I would choose The same joy, the same sadness, each step of the way That fought for me, and taught me, that friends never say (say goodbye) Never say goodbye (never say goodbye) Never say goodbye (never say goodbye, say goodbye) Never say goodbye (say goodbye) Never, say, goodbye Ta-ta-da-da-ta-ta, ta-ta-da-da-ta-ta-ta Ta-ta-da-da-ta-ta, never say goodbye Suddenly that isn't true There's another avenue Beckoning, the great divide I would choose The same joy, the same sadness, each step of the way That fought me, and taught me, that friends never say (say goodbye) Never say goodbye (never say goodye) Never, say goodbye (never say goodbye) Never say goodbye (never say goodbye) Never, say goodbye
Whose course is braver run? All I know is all we had Is over, said, and done. instead of Whose course is braver run Still we are, have always been Will ever be, as one
