Which Elton John song was written for the 1997 animated film The Road to El Dorado?

“The Trail We Blaze” was written for the 2000 animated film The Road to El Dorado.

Elton John and Tim Rice created the songs for the DreamWorks Animation film, which follows two Spanish con artists who search for the legendary city of gold. “The Trail We Blaze” is performed during the characters’ journey toward El Dorado.

The film’s songs were released on a soundtrack featuring performances by Elton John and other singers. John and Rice had previously collaborated on major projects including The Lion King and the stage musical Aida.

The date can cause confusion: the film was developed during the late 1990s, but The Road to El Dorado was released in 2000. “The Trail We Blaze” is distinct from the soundtrack’s closing song, “Someday Out of the Blue.”
