It's been years since I saw Road to El Dorado, but I do remember disliking the female character there. Never saw Sinbad, because I thought animated Catherine Zeta-Jones-Douglas was in the whole movie, and I really just don't care for "pasted on" romance to try and lure a few young girls into the theatre.

when it can be replaced either by a trinket

I'm sorry, I'm laughing at the thought of these "spunky females" in these movies being replaced by an equally spunky broom or dust mop and having the same effect on the storyline.

"Oh noes! Dusty Mop's been kidnapped by the bad guys! We have to save her!"

In return, Dusty Mop thanks the hero by spewing dust all over them.

Okay, crack aside, back the original discussion. Yes, both Road to El Dorado, I think, and Batman and Robin could have worked without the spunky heroines.
