Dreamworks' movie 'The Road to El Dorado' - this is a tiny snippet of the very amazing and hilarious film for use in my history lesson. We're doing coursework on the Spanish Age of Discovery and this bit always makes me laugh - "Cuba!"
@@tuber12111 He's also Pete, Darkwing Duck, Don Karnage in Tailspin, Taz from Looney Toons, the singing voice for both Scar in Be Prepared and Rasputin in Don Bluth's Anastasia, and SO MUCH MORE(we're talkin 400 voices)!!! His name is Jim Cummings, and here's where you can find his other works! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Cummings
Lucas Lemos “that is what the left tried to do with history” Yes, because the right know everything and deserve to control the new world order. You can never go far without a corny ass nigga project politics in a place where it wasn’t requested nor cares for
Ah yes, your "historically accurate" representation of Cortéz would be a black lesbian woman who identifies as a man and is leading a crew full of "bigoted", "racist", spaniard white men.
Yeah, Cortes was actually a lawyer and he wasn't meant to explore, the Spanish Government hated the Conquistadors cause they couldn't keep their pants up when around nonwhite women and swords in their scabbards when around nonchristians
Wouldn't say he was a villain per se. More like a source of unbeatable dread that you can't beat and forces you to flee, a la Nemesis or Mr. X in Resident Evil
Holy crap. Jim Cumming's voice is so powerful and glorious that I felt this vibration go throughout my entire body. I mean the character is kind of glorious in a way, I see him as more of a hero than a villain, someone who I would follow to the death.
This man is responsible for 200,000 people being put to the blade, 20 million people dying of disease, the collapse of the Aztec empire, the enslavement of the local populations of Central America, the extrajudicial executions of local Spanish rivals, and many other things that are blatantly evil, all of which were excused because he was "in the land of infidels". This man was the embodiment of The Adversary (Satan), he pursued earthly riches in the name of "Christ" and violated the Gospel by forcing conversions to Christianity. He's in the the top 100 worst people of all time EVER. You're dumb.
My teacher: This paper is terrible Me: My paper was as carefully written as the holy Bible, and I will not tolerate a D. You will be flogged, and at the end of the semester if I have a D God willing you will be flogged some more. Then enslaved in the cafeteria for the rest of your miserable life. To the ISS room.
0:23/0:24/0:25/0:26 Cortes: My crew was as carefully chosen as the Disciples of Christ, and I will not tolerate stowaways. You will be flogged. And when we put in to Cuba to resupply, God willing, you will be flogged some more. And then enslaved on the sugar plantations for the rest of your miserable lives. To the brig! Miguel: All right! Cuba! (The guard takes Tulio and Miguel to the brig)
I know this is only a kid's movie - but Cortes' voyage didn't begin like this. He had been a magistrate in Cuba for a number of years and it was from there he began his conquest of Mexico.
@@SeanIgo Heroes and legends can still reek of dog urine, friendo. At least he's not anywhere close to the modern day Chinese Government in terms of levels of things I dislike.
At the time, expeditions to America were common, and supplies were carefully calculated. A military expedition like this one woulded been QUITE SEVERE on stowaways, not only because it meant unexpected drain of food and water, but also because it coulded mean an unexpected source of trouble within the crew. Sending people to the colonies as a way of punishment was a implemented later on once some continental docks got stablished
He would have impressed them since Cortez's expedition was illegal since he did not have permission from the governor of Cuba. Guy only got permission after he proved how successful he was.
The Spanish Black Legend... a classic. The first thing Cortez did upon landing in America, was to have two trees cut down, make a large cross with them and officiate the first mass on the continent. Liberate the Tlaxcaltecas people from the Aztec claws (who were fattened to later be sacrificed. They allied with Cortez and to this day they remember him as the "liberator of the Indian." It was the liberated Tlaxcalteca people who perpetrated the famous Aztec massacre in Tenochtitlan ... the Spanish troops did not exceed 300 or 500 soldiers). I know Cortés who clubbed the meter and a half of blood scabs and Aztec idols of the Great Teocalli pyramid (god who asked for a minimum of 30,000 annual sacrifices), who married an indigenous woman, the Malinche, a very intelligent woman who allowed with his genius the victory of the Spanish over the Aztec empire, and had as his son the first Mexican and mestizo: Martín Cortés ... of course, I do not recognize this clown that the Disney dares to call Cortés. For the gold? Really? That will say the pirates with subsidy and letters of privateering of the British, Dutch or French crown that attacked the Spanish fleets. Most of the proceeds remained in America, investing in infrastructure and universities that, after the secessionist revolutions, continued to operate (not to say that they were the only ones that would exist for many years). It is noted that the Blas de Lezo and Cartagena de Indias may hurt more than one ... but this is unheard of. But what can be said, even "Pocahontas" is a story stolen from an Andalusian Spaniard named Juan Ortíz ... but that is another topic.
@@brendanforester4601 Yes. injustices were committed, but by a specific group of lords, landowners and also citizens, who had their own parallel states (that would lead to independence / secession wars, which would plunge the empire and the entire Hispanic world into ruin)... but not a systematic rule as if it happened with other empires, clearly predatory. When Spain builds a settlement, they first built the hospital and the school. England, meanwhile, a bank and a yard for the slaves. A Spanish king stopped the conquest to evaluate that it was "ethical", since injustices were being committed, something unprecedented in history ... "by its fruits they will know it". Not to mention the Indian decree, which states that the Indian is a Spanish citizen ... oh, and the eight hours of work. Spain was the first to apply them. ^ - ^
@@lucase.garcia8026 Exactly right. Spain was without a doubt one of the greatest empires in history. Not only for its accomplishments, but how they achieved them and why.
My thoughts going threw my head as 0:25-0:50. That's one mean looking dude compared to the first scene he's in. Is that whole Disciples of Christ line supposed to be serious or ironic? That's some serious knuckle cracking. He sure loves the idea of flogging. Flogged and slavery is harsh for stowaways. Jim Cummings is awesome!
Probably serious. Especially through those gloves. That was THE punishment of the time. They were VERY tough on criminals back then, even for the minor shit. Plus captains tended to take crimes aboard their ships seriously. Like OH MY GOD seriously. Yup.
I'm not going to be like the asshole critics who hated this or Sinbad, cause I actually do like this movie. But it's biggest mistake in it's development was being the start of a film series before people decided if they liked it or not. See as a result the movie ended on a cliff hanger without Cortez being defeated. Instead of a movie about stopping Cortez from killing the people of El Dorado we got Miguel and Tulio conning them into thinking they're gods and Tzekel Kan being the main villain which was well not the right idea as Cortez was fucking bad ass. One of the most underrated villains in Dreamworks too as Cortez had that amazing Jim Cummings voice.
I don't see how that idea would make sense. This is a kid's movie but how on earth would Cortes have been "defeated". He, along with the other conquistadors, conquered the Americas and killed anyone in his way.
that would make exactly zero sense. Cortes conquered south america, guns blazing and shit. In the bigger scheme of things, being "ultimatetly" true to the story, Cortes wins, HARD.
He's sort of a reckoning force. The real Cortez was almost like divine wrath on the Aztecs. You can soak yourself in blood for a long time, but someone will catch up to you.
I just realized they’re using the same music notes from Hector Berlioz - Symphonie Fantastique - Dream Of A Witches Sabbath for Cortez’s speech on the ship. It’s also used in The Shining
@@DanteD84 Hitler was having parties at Berghoff and Stalin was hiding in the Kremlin the entire time. Cortez on the other hand, lead an expedition with a handful of men into uncharted territory, ultimately to face one of the most powerful warriors in one of the largest and most feared empires in Mesoamerica. Ultimately destroying the biggest city in the Americas and slaughtering thousands of natives by his own hand.
Kind of a bold claim, isn’t it, saying that your crew “was as carefully chosen as the Disciples of Christ”? Come to think of it, it sounds downright blasphemous when considering the time period.
>Introduces villain that the two main heroes don't even actually get around to fighting They were really hoping this and Sinbad would make so much money they'd spawn fuck loads of sequels
You know, this is in some ways an accurate depiction of Cortez, especially since he was a conqueror. You can't be a conqueror by being nice about it. They should have given him a Spanish accent. That would have made him even more intimidating.
Does anybody else think DreamWorks designed Cortez after Jack Nicholson or am I the only one? Because that’s all I see when I look at him, an animated Jack Nicholson
Always thought we should name high schools after Hernando Cortez - we need to empower the Hispanic minority. Who wouldn't want to go to "Cortez High" !
Hey guys this is Miles Hampton and I am a music performance major. at 0:25 in the music background Dies Ire is played in the background. Also known as "the Day of Wrath"
I'm having the time of my life remaining these lines coming from some of Cummings other characters. I'm thinking of SatAm Robotnik...though Tigger's a good one too
Cortes' voice reminds me of Tank Dempsey 2.0 from call of duty zombies. Steve Blum would have really done a good job of voice acting Cortes in my opinion. Like if you agree.
"The Disciples of Christ?" Does that mean The Prince of Egypt exist in the same universe as The Road to el Dorado since both Moses and Jesus were mentioned in the Holy Bible ?
My crew was as carefully chosen as the disciple of Christ.” My Biblical knowledge is a little rusty, but didn’t Christ chose his disciples by walking up to a few fishermen and tax collectors and telling them “follow me”? Also, Judas, now there was good pick as disciple. Can’t see anything going wrong with that pick. Nailed that choice.
Why their former professions matter? they were completely loyal and faitful to Jesus. If anything, the discipules being elected from the most humble jobs only makes the message of Christ muh more meaningful
DIES irae, dies illa, solvet saeculum in favilla Couldn't listen to what he said because I was listening to the music of the Gregorian Chart from the medieval days.
the reality was that cortez actually set of on his expedition ilegally, then had no choice but to go all out or be killed when he came back (his expedition started in cuba though so it is sort of a tiny bit correct, but it is a cartoon after all)
What's even funnier is when Queen Isabella found out about Cortez going rogue, she sent an entire fleet to search and arrest him. However, when Isabella's men found Cortez in Mesoamerica, they were so shocked on how well Cortez had the situation under control and how quickly he was advancing and conquering uncharted territory. It didn't take long for Isabella's men to join Cortez' expedition and stayed, thus expanding Cortez' army. How ironic.
@@douglaskelly1394 well that is exactly what they should do, they surely realised that aiding in the expansion would not only benefit them personally (and these were also veterans from the reconquista hoping to gain lordly status in the new world, (even though the crown wanted it to be a modern state) but Isabella benefits by the expansion of her empire and the fact is that it is New world silver that fueled the Spanish habsburg war effort of Philips II (even though he actually couldn't keep up with his debts)
Funnily enough Cortes in real life was more like Tulio. A smart, cunning and oportunistic man with a golden tongue that most of the times got his way through shear luck. I´d say this depiction of spanish conqueror suits more Pizarro. A brutal man with too much conviction.
