Key item features

Original songs composed by Elton John and Tim Rice.

Original score composed by Hans Zimmer and John Powell.

THE ROAD TO EL DORADO finds Sir Elton John, Tim Rice, and Hans Zimmer reunited for their first major animated soundtrack project since 1994's The Lion King. This soundtrack is quite a bit different from most, as nearly all of the songs were written exclusively for the film. But these strong songs could certainly stand on their own.

John performs five songs solo, including the title track, while Randy Newman joins him for the duet "It's Tough to be a God." The video for "The Road to El Dorado" is a must-see for Sir Elton's fans, as John literally gets animated. EL DORADO's other gems include "The Panic in Me," "My Heart Dances," and "Friends Never Say Goodbye." John, Rice, and Zimmer, together again. Could you ask for anything more?

Product details

EDITORIAL REVIEWS Road To Eldorado The Road To El Dorado .COM Apparently, if you ask Elton John to provide songs for the soundtrack to your movie, you'll get more than you bargained for. In this case, much more. Only 5 of the 11 tracks are used in this animated film about 2 swindlers searching for gold in 16th-century Spain, meaning 6 bonus cuts are featured here. John again collaborated with lyricist Tim Rice, who worked on last year's Aida and 1994's Lion King. There are the trademark piano ballads ("Friends Never Say Goodbye," "Queen of Cities") and uptempo piano rockers ("16th Century Man"), but many of the tracks feature island rhythms and some unusually futuristic effects ("Trust Me"). One particular highlight is a humorous duet with Randy Newman on "It's Tough to Be a God." Three additional cuts from the movie's score by Hans Zimmer and John Powell finish the album with cinematic flair. --Rob O'Connor
