The Road To El Dorado is a 2000 American animated musical adventure comedy film directed by Eric “Bibo” Bergeron and Don Paul.

Marylata Jacob, who started DreamWorks’ music department in 1995, became the film’s music supervisor before the script was completed. Consulting with Katzenberg, Jacob decided the musical approach to the film would be world music. In 1996, Tim Rice and Elton John were asked to compose seven songs which they immediately worked on. Their musical process began with Rice first writing the song lyrics and giving them to John to compose the music. John then recorded a demo which was given to the animators who storyboarded to the demo as the tempo and vocals would remain intact
